this looks like a much better game than MW 2

Blaster_Master5333d ago

OMG,, this game blows MW2 out the water. This game is gonna set the new standard and value when it comes to First person shooters.

Rofflecopter5333d ago

Not to mention, the graphics look like they may have an advantage over MW2 as well.

I liked the first modern warfare, but I felt that BF:BC kept me playing longer. Can't wait for this installment!

jarrod19815333d ago

yeah. This is gonna be so much better than MW2. The multiplayer in Bad Company 1 was far superior to MW1. I loved the goldrush mode. I cannot wait for this one.

Montrealien5333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

I agree, the sheer scope of this game puts MW2 to shame imho.

yippie1234y5333d ago

what are you guys smokin lol

mw2 ftw

flankhim5333d ago

Whatever their smoking stay away from it. Bfbc2 isnt anywhere near the same league as mw2.

stevenhiggster5333d ago

I loved, and still love and play to this very day, the first Bad Company. This looks even better, I can't wait. Q1 2010 is gonna be nuts!

Montrealien5333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

I dissagree Chrisny85, however I respect your right to have an opinion. and flankhim, don`t you have some friends to go meet and play MW with? Let the big boys talk about a good game here. I know I dont feel the need to say that MW2 is not in the same league as BF2, why do you?

Statix5333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

I'll take this over MODERN NOOBFARE 2 any day of the week.

Let's see... MW2 has sticky grenades? Dual-wield .50 caliber pistols? Throwing knives? Call of Duty has simply turned into Halo: Modern Warfare Edition. Thanks, but no thanks--it's over between me and COD.

Kornholic5333d ago

They have actually made improvements over the first installment. You can't really say the same about Call of Duty: Modern Cash-In 2.

Greywulf5333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

If thats how multiplayer is.. wow...i think EA wants to all remind us of the holes BF2 stomped in all the competition.MW2 Is definitely a 1.2 update compared to this...i was going to say its the PC version but I see either xbox/ps3 "x" button cues.

Im glad some devs aren't just milking their customers.

yippie1234y5333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

thankx Montrealien both games are great but they definitely are 2 very different types of shooters. its all about preference. i have to admit i was very surprised to see all the negative comments about mw2 though once this post was made.

lets see if battlefield can pull off a goty. remember competition is a good thing for us.

Blaze9295333d ago

Cant WAIT for this title. Looks amazing

finbars755333d ago

This is by far the best looking fps game I have ever seen.Killzone2 looks sweet but this game squeaks by it by a smiggen.I cant wait until March to play this.I feel that MWF2 looks nothing like this at all.Got to love DICE and EA for all the hard work they have done to bring us to the next gen era.Only until Guerila Games comes out with there next stunning game.

Greywulf5333d ago

I'd go into why.. but just no. No game that runs on the 360 will ever trump Killzone2/Uncharted. Just be happy knowing that.

And to back it up? No game released in the past 5 years has.

evrfighter5333d ago

FINALLY you console gamers get to enjoy what us pc gamers have been enjoying for many years.

This looks like a true BF game. I wish I could knock it because it's on the consoles as well. But it looks like DICE decided to stick to their roots on this one. Seeya on the battlefield :D

...Well probably not, I'll be on the pc with this one.

Marceles5332d ago

This game looks great. Bad Company 1 was already pretty good but was just thrown under the radar, I hope people pay attention this time.

I did not murder him5332d ago (Edited 5332d ago )

Yes this crushes MWF 2 and any FPS I've seen this generation.

Jesus the sound, the lighting, the presentation, the action, the visual effects, the pacing, the atmosphere, the graphics, the voice acting, the improvements with the physics and destructible environment engine. OMFG!

So much for the BS talking point saying devs can't push more out of this console.

UnSelf5332d ago

ayooo wtf?!?! is this game out already?? ITS MINEEEEEEEE. i kno nuttin about it

Mozilla895332d ago

The moment I saw this article I new that it would be filled with MW2 vs. BC2 comments but the very first one?! Thats fast, anyways I'm sure there's enough room for the both of them. I have to say though BC2 is looking mighty impressive.

glennc5332d ago

@Greywulf - real gamers care about the gameplay, you are spouting graphics again like a true PS3 fanboy. BC1 has better gameplay than KZ2 already, i'm pretty sure BC2 will p!ss all over it within a minute of me turning it on.

Kleptic5332d ago (Edited 5332d ago )

well wait chrisnay...lets wait and see if MW2 can pull off a goty also...as it stands now, UC2 looks pretty tough to top...

but yeah I agree...as MW2 and BC2 are very different in nearly every way...

and glenc...you start about ps3 fanboys going at graphics...yet turn around and use a different subjective opinion to justify 'not being a fanboy'?...that lacks sense...I much prefered killzone 2's gameplay to BC1...but I won't say that makes either shooter better or worse than each other...review wise, killzone 2 was clearly the 'better' shooter overall though, wasn't it?

I did not murder him5332d ago (Edited 5332d ago )

That depends usually after the review hype phase, what makes the better game(MORE FUN) are the sales? Because people like the game or what they hear from others?

PS3 exclusives sometimes get hypes beyond reality and some times the reviewers just go with the flow because it would be suicide not to with hyped up PS3 games.

Having played both KZ2 and Battlefield games I can tell you Battlefield 1942 is more enjoyable than KZ2.

LOL Greywulf is in Denial. MSFT may not have first party engines and devs teams that equal Sony's but there are certainly Ace 3rd party devs with powerful game engines that are making games that are blowing past Sony 1st party engines/games/dev teams.

Battlefield BC 2
RAGE
Crysis 2
BRINK

badz1495332d ago

I've yet to finish the 1st because of the MP! the 1st is my 1st Bf game and it's actually very good! I'm not saying the MP is better in BF BC but I suck at KZ2 MP! I just can't get the grip and always die! plus the experienced players are unforgiving! MP in BF BC is more newb friendly and I like it.

this is looking to improve a lot from the 1st! I don't care what veteran BF players are saying but I love the comedic approach of BC and if DICE maintain it in the 2nd, I think I'll love it too! so far, this is the only multiplat I'm gonna buy...others are exclusives! I'm a budget gamer and even exclusives are tearing my bank account apart already!

p/s: compare this to MW2, BF BC2 gets my vote!

Consoldtobots5332d ago

I still play bad company to this day, modern warfare I haven't touched in over a year. one got boring the other didn't, does that make me bias?

hardly, I think we alllll know which is the better game here. Seems we have to argue with MW fanboys now......massive facepalm.

aaronisbla5332d ago

you fail to realize that since those are third party devs, they will also appear on the console you hate so much, the ps3. "bu, bu, but it runs a thousand times better on teh 360!!" If thats ur retort, save it

And no matter how much you dislike the ps3, you can't deny that the engines that their first party games utilize are great, so get over it. I bet if they found a way to put killzone 2 on the 360, the SAME game, and just rename it and make small differences here and there, you'd be all over it.

mephixto5332d ago

Take a closer look to the trailer people, first put it on HD, then check out the textures of the cactus in first seconds, then your weapon, the rocks on the ground, etc there's a lot of low quality textures all over the trailer ... don't let the overuse of light trick you

jjohan355332d ago

I can't decide which to spend next year playing. I already know I don't want to play MW2. One advantage MAG has is that it'll provide dedicated servers, while BC2 is most likely hosted by one of the players.

Microsoft Xbox 3605332d ago

Is this footage from the console version or the PC?

masterg5332d ago (Edited 5332d ago )

Talk about improvement.
This really surprised me. The first Bad Company had great gameplay but the graphics did not match CoD4. This looks like it might even surpass MW2. The dust and explosions looks amazing.

@Microsoft Xbox 360
It's on the 360. You see a (B) popup at one time.

jack_burt0n5332d ago

Wow really not seeing what you guys see, I play bad company all the time it just looks like the animation is alot better and the destruction engine is refined.

First one is still a good looking game and the sound is incedible. Always thought BC>MW

DarkMantrid5332d ago

That was extremely impressive footage! I didnt even think about getting bfbc for some reason but this looks amazing! Def a buy.

5332d ago
rawd5332d ago

The first Battlefield Bad Company was better then Modern Yawnfare

Gobot5332d ago (Edited 5332d ago )

Lol @ all. This game looks like a CoD clone with watered-down Killzone 2 graphics.

EDIT: CoD is a piece of sh!t as well.

wallace10005332d ago

This does look sweet. The first Bad Company was good and this looks to be superior.

BLuKhaos5332d ago

I find it funny how all of a sudden Immigrant has 50 agrees and 5 disagrees for saying BFBC2>MW2 but just a couple months ago I and a couple of others got the opposite reaction.I wonder are the people agreeing with BFBC2 being better than MW2 because it is better or because they're just rebelling against Activision?

yippie1234y5332d ago

i think you're onto something

Cronnie5333d ago

Always been a big fan of the Battlefield series, was very disappointed with the first Bad Company though, hopefully DICE learnt from their mistakes there.

cyberwaffles5333d ago

i agree. i used to hate bad company since i was a huge fan of battlefield 1942 and battlefield 2 on the PC, but the game grew on me and i like it a lot now. you need to give the game a second chance like i did, it's a great game.

imec5332d ago (Edited 5332d ago )

I still play BF2142 and BF2 regularly and for some reason I could never get into BFBC. The combat felt very simplistic compared to other titles in the series. The graphics are definitely looking better though. I can't wait to see the frostbite engine on the PC.

Deathmammoth5332d ago

I Agree 100% Battlefield: Bad Company 1 was a HUGE disappointment for me. I bought the PS3 version and I had many problems with the game like the Mics would only work occasionally and when they did work it was impossible to hear the other person. There was terrible lag on MANY of the servers, the 4 person squad chat was terrible! (How can you talk to the other members on your team that are not in your squad to communicate.) The controls felt really sluggish (Which looks to have been fixed) the weapons were unbalanced and there was no customization for the weapons (Which from devs also has been fixed). I have High Hopes that Bad Company 2 will be much better! Cant wait till March 2010.

Kleptic5332d ago

yeah it seems most 1942 players simply couldn't get into the 'console' nature of BC...DICE does that though...each sequel in the franchise ends up being pretty different in a lot of ways than what came before it...

i loved 1942...and also couldn't really get into BC, or any other BF game really...but if they get the intensity back, and put a larger focus back into multiplayer...ill be all about it...

Henry Cain5333d ago

DAMN! This is what im talking about this is how you upgrade a game.

Ravage275333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

The thing that struck me most is the fluidity of the movement 0:37. The vehicles looks really cool and the action looks more intense than mw2.

Why does everything have to release on March????

stevenhiggster5333d ago (Edited 5333d ago )

Tell me about it. I've started saving for March already!
Too.....many....games....(hea d pops)

Major_Tom5333d ago

Wow. Damn that presentation was pretty awesome.

Sangria5333d ago

What do they actually drop at around :30?

dragonelite5333d ago

Ammo pack you can see the ammo count in the lower right corner go up when he picks it up and wow they really upped the pace in bad company 2 no more full clips on body and 5 shot on head not really that it mattered because the rate of fire is really high in BC 1

Cerbus5333d ago

First one dropped is health pack not ammo. Second one dropped is ammo.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga74d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics74d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend74d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long75d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons75d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor74d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5274d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60274d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv7274d ago

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor74d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

EA’s best multiplayer games have now shut down for good

Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.

OtterX149d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled148d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa148d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno148d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast148d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial148d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv72413d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel413d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon412d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim412d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai413d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341412d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313412d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra412d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai412d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra412d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade411d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra411d ago (Edited 411d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno412d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz149412d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop412d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb411d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole412d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled412d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
