Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Fritz]

Ok, so I downloaded this last night as per instructions

...but before I got a chance to play I had to leave to watch the F-Word and then when I got back I didn't feel like playing because I'm too stoked about Bioshock at the moment.

Yup I gotta admit it was pretty fun.

It was. Finally started getting used to the set up before I left but it was a good time for sure.

 

[Moonloop]

May I also say that this demo was bad!

 

[hairlesswookiee]

Is the demo public yet???

I do like this game but why is it so FKN' hard to kill someone.
I had to shoot this player three times with a sniper rifle mind you
before he went down.."BS"

head shots my friend

I spent about an hour on this and did not kill a single person. If I saw someone to kill which was rare I would start shooting them first but they always killed me instead. I spent most of the time being shot by snipers from god knows where. Or if I tried using a tank I would get blown up.

True, but when they are moving around its easier to go for a body
shot. One through the chest shoud be enough.

I had the same problem also at first. I think my best score so far has been 6 kills... I personally think that it is too hard to get a kill in
this game.

it's about getting in a squad a watching each others backs, not all rambos, a medic is essential and an engineer to repair vehicles is also handy

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 To Get DLC From Day One
Written Wednesday, February 10, 2010 by Richard Walker

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will feature free and priced content from day one, which will be downloadable via the in-game store.

DICE's Patrick Bach, senior producer on the game told WorthPlaying the following, "We see the game as the first step to a longer experience. We have an in-game store where you get free content or you can buy new content to the game, so it's a very integral part of the game that we will have a long post-launch campaign."

Exactly what the content will be is yet to be confirmed, but Bach stated that players will be happy with what DICE has planned.
"I think people will be thrilled to see what's in that already. On day one, you will get some really cool stuff," said Bach.

If you've yet to sample Battlefield: Bad Company 2, there's a demo on the PlayStation Store now.
The game is out early this March.

Downloaded and played the demo on Sunday... reserved the LE on Monday at GameStop. Can't wait.

 

[kain4521]

Put some money down on this at GS today so I will more than likely trade in MW2 towards it.

 

[AngryEwok]

I've been getting annoyed with the "cheapness" of Modern Warfare 2, lately. Don't ask me to expand on that - I just don't know how much longer I can tolerate being tactical knifed by a marathon/lightweight/commando class after emptying half a magazine of 5.56 into the guy. Little stuff like that has eat at me since Day 1 and it's just old after three prestiges. Don't even get me started on the glitching, hacking, infinite camp packages, etc.

So I saw a clip of the Bad Company 2 BETA on youtube, yesterday, and thought to myself, "Well hot damn, that looks better than MW2."

I downloaded the demo when I got home. First thoughts,

I didn't really like it. Graphically, it's rather dated. Controls are rather clunky, and there's not much you can do about it. I'm moving very slow and at close quarters I seem to be outgunned and outmaneuvered no matter what. Worse so than in MW2, even. No prone?! No strafe?! No sway in the scopes?! Lots of accessories and all of them rather complicated to use. Nobody in my squad seems interested in the objective - - - and nobody was on microphone.

I gave it a shot, anyway. MW2 is full of frills and I'm bored with it - I'll try it a little longer and see if the core, the heart and soul of this game, is closer to what I'm looking for. I played a dozen matches, more or less.

I eventually got put in a squad with a fellow that was also using the microphone. He jumped in a tank - I said, "Hold up, I'll be your gunner!" I jumped in, and we held the fork in the road on defense for the entire length of the game - - - infantry was slaughtered, armor was dispatched relatively quickly, even a helicopter took us on. Only the UAV seemed to hurt us. We pwned, in other words. We dominated five consecutive matches and we weren't even on one another's friend's list - we just communicated.

I placed my pre-order with Amazon afterwards.

I guess my opinion at this point is that in order to enjoy the game, you really need to pair up with someone like-minded on the microphone or join a clan. Thrown into a squad with a couple of mute mercenaries will make for a miserable time. Less patient people, wanting quick kills and instant gratification, won't even give this game a chance. But maybe those people are the one's I'm trying to run away from, anyway?

 

[DinoLast]

I have to say playing this demo has been more enjoyable than MW2.
I suck at both, but this game feels more like you belong to a squad.

 

[gypsycatcha]

Sorry but this game is not as good as mw2. Having played the demo, i was a little disappointed with the graphics as the vids on ign looked superb.
The controls like all battlefields are never as sharpe and responsive as the cod games and although the core gameplay is very good, i feel the controls let it down. Dont get me wrong, i always buy the battlefields as they are very good games but for me cod still pips it. The fact so many people have spent hours upon hours prestiging tells its own story. Iv not presiged yet and have come off this for a while to play bioshock 2 and mass effect2 just so it gives me a break and to keep the game ticking over through the year.
Will get back on this when the map pack comes out hopefully march.
Just my opinion tho.
