Do like the sounds though.
I ditto this as well.
I think there is much that can be done with BF series in general. But problem to me stands that the designers are quite poor in creative solutions from DICE. (Otherwise, it's a marketing design approach to pro-long the users need to seek more of the game, bit by bit. All concealed in constraints that newer game ideas are out of spectrum from DICE. With a newer implementation such as destructible terrain, buildings, ect.)
BF2 BC looks "cool", but I think I will wait 2-3 years until DICE actually does enough with the IP. Where I can see all these "major minor" enhancements implemented into a $50.00 worth game. As destructible terrain, buildings. Is more really like a $10.00 feature. Adding a larger player count to 128 for a change. Would be like a $7.00 feature. Meanwhile, what already exists is worth about $5-10.00.
and will destroy all campers mercilessly with big artillery and tank rockets.
also
...
...i hope this picture is true :
hmm some cons :
depth realism feature is good, but sacrificing good old battlefield feature is hurting BF fans ....
i remember bf hack to put 128 player in one map. yeah it is actually works lolz ....
I need to play on PC though, where i think its going to be awesome!
MW 2 got boring really fast, its fun half the time when it works like its intended to but even there it got some flaws a player like me just cant stand. hope this will be my new shooter :P I can hope.
The destructible environments were always awesome, but it looks like they took it even further with BC2. The gameplay trailer where they show the wooden fence splintering apart and the buildings pancaking on themselves blew my mind.
PC or PS3?
BAIL OUT!!
I'm actually kind of insulted that you valu our game to 5-10$ like some beerglass iPhone-App
Anyone in the current beta know if they have any more game modes than just that crappy gold rush shit or the ticket system? BF series suffers really badly these days with lack of choice of game mode I think, this is why Call of duty is putting it to shame (with ease)
I think you guys nailed it with BF2 and 2142. I really can't think of anything from either of those games that makes me go "oh wait, that didn't really work". For me, the BF series was the perfect blend of pure action gameplay and strategy, where you didn't die with one random shot but you still had to proceed carefully. When I think "full-on multiplayer FPS" (infantry, vehicles, aircraft, big maps, etc), I think Battlefield. I'm very excited about Bad Company hitting PC's next year - I'll be picking up a copy for sure.
My only regret is that I missed BF2's heyday because of dial-up internet.
my psn id is periscolon
...You only survive 5 to 10 seconds?
I don't see why people feel the need to compare the two series. They are completely different games. BF is large open maps, heavily class based, and very strategic. COD is CQB from the second you spawn, very fast paced, and few people give much thought to strategy. Both great games but they each have their own play styles.
It doesn't make much sense to hate on BF because it doesn't play like COD. If you want gameplay like COD, then play COD.
Edit: 100 posts on PC = I'm officially a man.
I absolutely agree. I reinstalled BF2142 again the other day, and while it's a freaking hassle to even get to work (if you bought Northern Strike), it's still so much fun. The only downside is that they feel very, very old by now, and there aren't many good servers left. If someone remade all the BF2142 assets with higher resolution and ported it to, say, the Frostbite engine, I would buy it for full price all over again. Even with no new content. Same maps, same weapons, same classes, no new unlocks, just better physics, smoother control and better netcode. It'd be the best game evar.
Until then, I'm looking forward to getting a job so I can get BC2!
That's one of the things I LOVE about Battlefield that no one FPS has delivered so far. Those 5-10 seconds of combat can easily become 30 minutes if you're good enough. I particularly like playing as a sniper. While not the most efficient and helpful to the team, it's insanely fun when you pull off a full round with 15+ kills without ever dying. Or even being spotted, in fact. I had one of those rounds lately, on a Titan map. I found a good sniper spot and managed to stay there uncontested until I ran out of ammo, after which I made good use of active camo and cover to make it to a nearby enemy silo. I somehow managed to get to a tower unspotted, climbed up and knifed the enemy sniper up there, took his gun and parachuted down, then made it back to my spot to keep going until the round ended. It was so much fun! I've never seen another game that lets me do sneaky crap like that.
And actually, the 16 player maps feel a lot like large-ish Modern Warfare maps, so BF can pull that off pretty well, too. 16 players on Verdun is amazingly fun. It's just a shame that no servers bother with smaller maps like that. Even the ones with a population of 12 use 64 player sized maps...
Don't take it to heart that my words are of hate. Merely I'm an avid fan of the BF franchise. But this time around where I can see my money needs watching on what it's spent on. I just don't see anything about this new title that differentiates itself from the rest of the BF series that are already out. (Aside from destructible buildings, terrain, some vegetation.)
Considering how long BF franchise has been out for. The updates per IP of the BF titles is mostly in mapping. As far as mechanics, and additions go. They are very slim when you note it all down on paper. Which is where I can easily determine a price range per feature that adds it's value to it's $50.00.
If DICE or (any company) wants to pull something bigger, than to build upon it's IP's like all computer companies do for their systems. Expand what exists to a higher limit. Not swap something for another something not used previously. Or even remove what existed that contributed to it's core value.
i watched somebody play it on the ps3. it seemed fun to drive around. thats what ive always liked about the BF series. the vehicles. the thing that was a major turnoff to me was this: dude gets into a tank, drives around, sees enemy soldier running on foot. shoots the ground 3 feet next to the dude like five times and the dude doesnt die. but it takes like 1 shot from some rocket to destroy the tank.
the maps seemed almost too big. but i definitely need to play it or see it more to get the whole scale of it. lookin forward to playing it.
and you cant compare the COD series to BF. theyre like two different animals. COD is much more close quarter combat, fast, frenzy (but you can still strategize). Battlefield, because of the large maps, requires more strategy. or else youll find yourself dying often and have to respawn on the edge of the map and run your ass all the way back to the battle.
both are fun, but different.
Hello. I really apreciate the work You guys are putting into this game and I really look forword to its arrival. keep up the good work and keep your chins up. You should be proud.
Which is why i've always preferred Battlefield gameplay over Cod
SteamID: LoTekK
I actually remoted into my home PC from work today so I can start the STEAM download at 12:00.
of fun again.
Also its a lot harder. Something that i like. This casual games we make them for
everyone and every platform has got to come to an end!
I simply prefer sitting in a tank having a viewfield of 40 degrees when shooting to having
an external view with crosshair.
For consoles i understand that this is best due to its natural controller limitations.
But also porting this to pc instead of producing a proper bf3 that tops its ancestors isnt in my interest.
But who knows maybe theyre working on that
haha
Progg where about are you located, Europe? its kinda pointless to add someone that I cant play with anyway but I would gladly do if ur close.
Btw, is your score supposed to not get updated if you exit a match prematurely? I had 220 points in the game I was playing in, but had to quit out to do something else. My stats still read zero across the board.
It's super fun! However, it does not replace BF2 in my games list, which I was hoping it would. The one and only reason for this: Lack of the ability to go Prone. What's the point of 1. sniping and 2. a Ghillie suit if you have to either stand or squat?
If you're going to remove a class, AND remove prone, the class that should have gone should have been the sniper class...
I understand the want to have fast paced action, and reduce camping, but this is what makes Battlefield awesome! Stop trying to compete with CoD4 fans by making faster, the battles were intense enough.
...and what, you can't go prone!? :S Is it to stop people doing the super-man? Heh.
Bad Company is a different type of experience from "Battlefield", thats all there is to it really. You'll have to wait for BF3 for what it is that you're after.
I never played the first Bad Company, so I was just hopeful. I'm having an extremely fun time playing BC2 though, even without the prone function its addictive as hell. It will definitely tide me over until BF3, if such a thing will exist.
Also, last night I got a double-headshot with the M24 sniper rifle on two Russians who were coming at me on an ATV.
On the positive side, the sound is absolutely amazing. I've never heard sound this immersive in a game before and it's a pure joy to listen to the weapons fire in the distance.
On the negative side, the weapons handle really bad. I never get the "I'm firing a weapon and I can feel it through my bones" feeling I get in, for example, MW2. When I put an enemy in my sights and pull the trigger it's never a "hell yeah, take that, bitch!!" feeling. It's more along the lines of, "let's see if I need all the bullets in my clip to take this guy down at point blank range, or if I'm lucky and only need half."
Damage can be tweaked, I'm sure, but I have a really hard time identifying exactly what it is about the weapons that make them feel lackluster. They seem to have that stupid artificial bullet spread, so even if you have your enemy in your sights the bullets magically disperse in random directions within a cone of fire..
So as long as I'm not firing a weapon (playing medic and reviving, healing) I'm enjoying the beta a lot so far
