Battlefield Bad Company 2

[Thrik]

Lol, yes this is why I try to avoid betas — really annoying problems are inevitable. I'm thinking of backtracking on my temptation now if it's that bad at the moment, as some betas are worse than others.

[Gloglebag]

It's worth it imo, beta's allow you to have much more fun as there are tons of exploits, you don't have to worry about those people that spent 500 hours mastering one weapon or vehicle, or the subsequent patches that nerf anything that is remotely fun. But the dammed Vaseline all over your face is intentional, that I do mind.

Ok ok, I just played for 3 hours more and well, demo/mp alone, this is a 10/10 for me. I haven't had this much fun since, bf2.

BTW, I am only playing the 360 demo do to all the terrible things I keep hearing about the pc beta. I have my beta key, but I will wait to play the pc beta maybe tomorrow. The 360 demo is running perfectly.

You know what! I want to wright some more. I'm sure other people may nitpick things in the game, or whatever, but you know what! Dice, finally did it, they finally made a GOOD fucking modern warfare game. An amazing multiplayer experience. Almost everything I have been waiting for is here in BF, almost. lol Its about time, I can live again! Fuck me! I love this game, and its only the damn demo! lol

Finaly managed to get in a game on the pc the sound is amazing, should only be played with full volume =)

[Zyn]

Yeah, with my recently new speakers, it's audiogasm when playing

Sure is losing the connection to servers all the time.

[Thrik]

God, man. Can one of you mention when the servers stop throwing players off constantly?

[Zyn]

The servers seem to be all wonky again, but that's nothing new. Every beta-launch ever for an online game has had problems

/wants PS3 beta in Europe...

I played for 2 hour straight with no problems and it was the most fun I've had in a game for quite a long time. FYI, it runs fine on Medium with 2x AA and 16x AF with a 4870 and a Q660, though enabling HS** (whatever the hell that is) rapes my framerate.

[Thrik]

Guh. What do you need to run it on its maximum settings (with a modest 2x AA) then?

[dux]

Why not just play it on high without the AFx16

[Gloglebag]

The gunplay is better then BF2, but not as god MW and MW2, it doesn't feel as tight and visceral. Also snoipa's are hilariously nerfed, no prone, glowing bukkake on scope, bullet travel time, low damage, low fire rate, you have to keep the crouch button depressed, scope sway.

Imo they should remove the sway, and make the crouch button a toggle. This way you can at least go for head shots at reasonable distance.

[dux]

Just gave it a quick go

Everything on max no fps issues

two things that suck:

Cant see hitpoints (unless im blind)

FoV is console and makes me sick

Other than that pretty good, the sounds are awesome.

Yes but thats all MW2 has better on BC2 , body physics as well. But the weapons in BC2 are tight and visceral and very easy to use once you get used to them.

While playing a sniper on the 360 I was able to toggle my scopes. You should be able to do the same on pc. I would hope anyway. I also get tons of one shot one kills. I have to say I have never enjoyed playing a sniper class in anygame as much as I have in this. Also no prone is fine in this game. Bf3 would be another story.

Another really nice additon to BC2 is that vehicles no longer take environmental damage. You run into a wall or fall off a small ledge, no 50% damage drop like prevous games. The random squad speech adds a whole new sense of imersion in the battles .

[Thrik]

I could have sworn I read earlier that prone would be present in the PC version?
