Battlefield: Bad Company 2: 30 Minutes of pure Gameplay

30 minutes of gameplay footage from the PS3 beta of Battlefield: Company 2.

[deadreckoning666]

...for people who don't have the beta :)

[TooTall19]

the beta is awesome. so many tricks to learn

[Saaking]

It's a great game and they still have months to polish it. Can't wait to March! I've already preordered it.

[toaster]

I can't wait for PC beta. I actually feel sorry for 360 owners. They don't get to experience the glory that is Battlefield until it actually releases.

Any word on when the PC beta releases?

[Liquid Dust]

is rediculously addictive, especially when you have a solid team.

Its definitely a different beast than mw2. I am currently indifferent whether to say one or another is better, but I will say that it will be definitely be a great change of pace when it does release and gamers looking to spread their wings to a more tactical shooter with much much larger environments and vehicles

March is going to be facken ridiculous friends

[raztad]

Is it just me or this video looks way better than what I actually see on my TV. The beta is plagued with jaggies.

Please guys, I'd love some feedback on the jaggies thing. All the videos I'd watched are mighty smooth (not jaggies whatsoever). I'm guessing it's because those videos are low res.

EDIt: thanks Panda. Good feedback as ever. Those jaggies really hurts the presentation of an otherwise pretty good looking game.

[Pandamobile]

Frostbite games on the 360 and PS3 don't use anti-aliasing.

[BLuKhaos]

Anyone who thinks otherwise is a retarded chimp with gimped fingers.

[Madusha]

Holy 0.0 the graphics and gameplay = unbelievable. Feels a bit like MW2. I'm very impressed by the graphics and the destructible environments. Can't wait to see the final product.

[jhooty14]

more like 30 min of pure awesomeness

[vhero]

The BETA is great SOOO much better than modern warfare 2.

[Irish-Republican]

going to get the beta today can't wait:)

[RedSky]

The thing that annoys me about the whole Battlefield series in particular is it looks like you spend a significant amount of time just running around either trying to find someone or moving to objectives. I know that you kind of need that open room for vehicles to work, but it's just never made the whole series that enticing for me.

I've always preferred the more tightly knit feel of CS or MW1 because it just puts you in the action much quicker without wasting any time at all.

I guess it's a different kind of game though.

[vhero]

@redsky above I used to think that but thats the whole point of squad team work. When your the last man staying alive becomes super important as if you die you do go back to beginning as a SQUAD it adds that extra EDGE to the game and thus make it more fun actually. It's weird how it works.

[randomwiz]

the thing that i love about bc2 is that it takes skill.

in mw, you can be skilled in that game and be really good(like me :D), but there's always that random nade, martyrdom noobs, and host advantage.

[IzKyD1331]

It definitely is different than Modern Warfare 2 (I'm not in the beta but I've played it with a friend who is). BC2 is way more objective and team based, while MW2 is just kill anything that moves

[Graphics]

the game is too silent when you play. it feels like the tv is muted which makes the battle feel empty.. too much running around and the guns lack a lot of detail. all the weapons look fake, but when you reach the object areas where you have to plant or defend a base it can get hectic, but it just doesnt feel fun to me, cause of the lack of good sound effects. they need to make the game more loud and noisy so you can feel the action. MAG and CoD has a lot of noise when you playing even some music which makes the battles feel intense, BC2 needs to do the same.

[toaster]

"MAG and CoD has a lot of noise when you playing even some music which makes the battles feel intense, BC2 needs to do the same."

You sir, have crappyfpsgamecalledcod-itis.

The beta is running on an old engine. The new one will be in the final game.

Also, did you try turning your speakers up?

[evrfighter]

"the game is too silent when you play. it feels like the tv is muted which makes the battle feel empty."

Well the trick to that is actually not be afraid to pick assault and pound some ground. If you a pick a sniper and hide what are you expecting?

[evrfighter]

I've played it one day so far. It was so very very entertaining on the ps3. I'm amazed at how console players don't move when they are getting shot at. I usually went 40-50 kills to 20 deaths.

However

I stopped playing because I felt the jaggies getting to me and I decided I'd better wait for the pc beta to come out. So that I can enjoy it to the fullest.

[Graphics]

I have crappyfpsgamecalledcod-itis.?

I dont even like Cod, heck I dont even like FPS games, the only reason i have CoD is cause I got tired of all my friends begging me to buy the game EVERYDAY!!!

yes I have the volume up on my TV.. the only thing I hear is the gun fire from my own gun, or the sirens when bomb has been planted. I cant even hear other peoples guns when they firing.

[jjohan35]

I am one of the few who don't like the beta. I've always hated the rush game mode in the battlefield series. My personal favorite has always been conquest mode.

[BLuKhaos]

the thing is that even if you pick a sniper, the game is far from silent.The sound in this game is spectacular, all the guns sound different even if you're on one end of the map and the guy firing the gun is on the other end, the sounds are still distinguishable.Battlefield sounds just like what you would hear if you spend a day in or near a combat zone.

[RockmanII7]

Does your character move the same way as in the first game? I just played the demo for the first one (never bought it), and I can't stand how your character moves (slow, hard to control, ect.).

[deadreckoning666]

Im fine with the way my character moves. Maybe u have Call of Duty-itus?

[Saaking]

It easy to control and responsive. I've got no problems with it. I like the slight weighty field (kinda like KZ2 but not as much).

@raztad
friendlies have a blue triangle (green if they're part of you're squad) above them, enemies do not. It takes some time, but you get used to it.

[raztad]

LOL@COD-itus. Most probably cod lovers will have a hard time adapting to this game.

The character moves mighty fine, it's even faster than KZ2 (which I love) but still slow enough not to feel floaty.

My problem with this game is I can NOT tell friend from foe. They look the same to me, and I need to double check before to strike.

@saaking

Yeah, I noticed it. However it's a very subtle difference. I guess I'll get used to it. I wish they change some colors but that would make the game to look unrealistic.

[RockmanII7]

I don't really play CoD, but I do play as a super solder from the future...

[jhooty14]

i no alot of ppl will disagree with me yet i think cod is one of the best fps games out there....i dont know i just like the controls of cod there very smooth like uncharted 2 controls

[toaster]

Did you seriously just compare CoD to Uncharted??

[pixelsword]

it does to me, but you can adjust your settings for your controls.

[randomwiz]

im a COD fanatic but these controls aren't a bother to me.

it just takes people to realize there are more games out there other than cod and halo to be fine with the controls.

[aaronisbla]

Be sure to adjust the sensitivity settings, as the default makes you turn like a turtle

[akaFullMetal]

i've been playing the hell out of this, it is so great, especially with the destructible environments.

[D4RkNIKON]

I agree, here is what this game has over COD.

Destructible environments, When you have to defend the target areas they are usually located inside of small buildings so when you camp there you have a sense of safety as you guard the doorways, then all of the sudden... BOOM and the wall behind you blows away exposing daylight as you stand completely out in the open!

Large maps that you continue to push forward. Some may think that it means you will be doing a lot of running, well squads are good for spawning further into the map as well as vehicles!

Squads are awesome, it is a lot like Killzone's squad system and I really like that. You can spawn off of any on in your squad any where on the map. So just having one player stay alive in a good location (sniping maybe) is great for teamwork. Teamwork is vital and really adds to the tactic aspect of the game. I was in a tank with a friend on the mounted gun, he was an engineer so when ever I would take damage, he would hop out and using the tank as cover repair me. Survived a few tank battles that way ;)

Vehicles are great for getting across great distances fast as well as using them for their mounted weapons. Tanks can LEVEL buildings and take out any cover the enemy has while exposing objectives from inside.

These are just a few things I enjoyed from the beta that you just don't get in COD4 or MW2.

[elorm9]

I remember one time, I was hiding in a building thinking I was safe and all :)

Next thing I know, a tank blew up the wall and that was pretty much it for me. Totally wasn't expecting that!

[-Alpha]

that a game like this is not bashed for being a rehash when it's pretty much the exact same thing, yet MW2 gets bashed for being a rehash.

Of course, I find nothing wrong with MW2 and BC2 borrowing the gameplay from its predecessors (hence the reason why its called a sequel).

The beta is great. I actually have an additional code by luck. The graphics are pretty underwhelming though, but this is a beta and I'm sure it will polish up.

This is nothing like COD so I don't know why people are hyping this to be "better" when both games are so different.

The open, vehicle-themed, destructibility of BC2 makes for a very nice change of pace.

I wonder how MAG will turn out since it seems to be Battlefield without the focus on vehicles and destructibility.

Anyways, the beta is fun. I absolutely love the presentation of the game and the whiteness of the menus. It all looks very polished and slick.

I may pick this one up, but people need to stop hyping this alongside MW2 because both games are different and both are great-- there's no need to hate one in order to like the other.

[akaFullMetal]

Well the company behind bfc2 isn't claiming giving you less is actually a bonus to us the players. Plus screwing up the pc version as far as we know, also they are using dedicated servers.

Plus graphically it is an improvement and has taken away the grain film it had before. Another thing is having destructible environments just beats anything that is out on the market now, besides red faction.

To top it off, they aren't increasing the price of the game, with no reason like COD.

[Saaking]

Perhaps MW2 wouldn't be bashed as much had it not been for all the stupid decisions made by IW and Activision. The PC version is actuallY WORSE than COD4 and the console version is almost exactly the same thing. They didn't update the graphics or game play. Basically, they added a few new perks, some maps, and that's it.

[TheTeam06]

Look at the guys behind the games and you get your answer. Activision are the pricks of this generation. They mess up the PC version of MW2, tell others that they should quit making music games, they believe that their game should cost more than $60, milked the Tony Hawk franchise to smithereens and think that Modern Warfare 2 should be a pay-to-play game. DICE, nor EA (surprisingly, after last-gen), did any of those things.

[ambientFLIER]

Didn't update the graphics? You're ever dumber than I thought. Or blind. Whichever. The level of detail is cranked way up from COD4, the lighting is better, and it runs smoother. Multiplayer looks better than single player from the previous game.

And how was a sequel supposed to significantly update the gameplay? It's COD...

[Madusha]

@Saaking: The gameplay is pretty much the same but the graphics have largely improved. I recently played COD4 campaign all over and when compared with Modern Warfare 2 you can instantly tell the difference with graphics.

[Halo3 MLG Pro]

Very good point. Just your typical sony fanboy defense. Modern Warfare 2 is better on the 360 so since the ps3 version gets a beta first than all of a sudden it's MUCH BETTER.

Same predictable sony fanboy logic.

[Consoldtobots]

"Modern Warfare 2 is better on the 360"

same predictable MS fanboy delusion, you guys really do live in your own little world where YOUR OPINION is taken as fact.

[Blaster_Master]

Actually, Ive had less lag on the ps3 when it comes to MW2. I thought it was my 360 wifi adapter and hardlined it, but nope, its the fact that there are more people on the 360 version I think?

[pixelsword]

(by the way, MAG'S beta was extended)

MAG and B:BC2 feels totally different.

MAG is more for strategy and B:BC is more like a run and gunner from my experience. Both are great, but in different ways.

[D4RkNIKON]

You are brimming with fanboy logic, I love you much you like to point out other people as being fanboys as if you are something better.

[RockmanII7]

Isn't the 360 version getting exclusive dlc? If it is, then yes, MW2 is better on the 360. Just like how Batman: AA is better on PS3.

[deno]

Always been my favorite war game since the first one. I remember while everyone was caught up in call of duty, I was playing this. Meaning the first one.

[evrfighter]

that's usually how most pc gamers went with CoD vs. BF

Battlefield was always the better of the two until EA getting consolitus. Decided not to release Bad Company on the PC which left CoD4 without a real competitor. Stupid decision on EA's part. As we all saw.

They are playing catch up now and were presented with a golden opportunity thanks to IW's decision making this time around. I believe this time around they are pulling out all the stops to make sure the pc gamers are happy.

As ridiculous as this may seem (it sounds really ridiculous but there is a method to my madness). I believe the pc gamers will determine the success of each franchises future. No console gamer will want to play a game labeled as a kiddy game if pc gamers label it so. I'm sure they'd rather play what pc gamers are playing.

If pc gamers play it. The sheep will follow.

[jack who]

looks great but does it play like the 1st one? if yes no buy

[ExposingLames]

perhaps its just my personal taste.....as i didnt play the first one

but i played 1 game and instantly deleted the garbage, everybody is different and im sure there are people that like it, but i was just left shaking my head

[RBdrift]

Its really good considering its only a first draft beta.This game feels kinda like a mix of MAG(Huge Maps,Vehicles)and MW2(gameplay,controls).I'm actually playing this beta a lot more then MW2.So far its a first day buy for me.
And just like xcox said "the audio is phenomenal"

[bigcheda]

plays more like battlefield 2 IMO which is a good thing.

[ZombieAutopsy]

Plays much better than the 1st one (i was disappointed by the 1st one too), the only problem i have with the beta (and most battlefield games) is the tank whorrring I think they should make the respawn time on the tanks much longer than they are or make it so 2-3 rockets can destroy them.

[Consoldtobots]

dude, seriously

just because you got owned by a tank is not a reason to start crying about game design. ITS A KNOWN FACT that tanks in urban settings are SITTING DUCKS. If you can't get close to one in that setting its probably because you're a noob/.

[boodybandit]

I almost never get killed by tanks in BF. That is what tracers, land mines, C4 and rockets are for.

Battlefield is so much better then the COD series. It actually takes strategy, thought and skill (<- real team play) to win and get kills in BF.

COD MW2 is just more of the same. It's nothing but a fast twitch spray and pray arcade shooter where everyone is out for themselves. I am actually disappointed in it and kind of sorry I purchased it instead of renting it. The campaign ended in a blink of an eye and the online is just new maps and added perks. There is rarely ever team work and IW focusing on KDR even in team modes like CTF and Domination. The scoreboard on those modes should focus on attacking/capturing and defending points but no it's all about KDR.

You have a bunch of people camping in the middle of the maps doing nothing but raising the KDR's instead of capturing or defending the areas.

[ZombieAutopsy]

dood, seriously

I wasn't crying about it i was just stating i don't like them, I wouldn't have a problem with them if it didn't seem like 90% of the time i'm the only one trying to take them out yea tanks are good in a battlefield game but it seems like right after you take one out 2 more come to take its place...i still like the game more than any other fps ive played all year but it can be nerve wrecking to spawn then get blown to bits from a tank thats been setting in the same spot for 5 mins.

[Nikuma]

It's funny I almost never get killed by a tank.. for the most part they're extremely easy to avoid or kill. Just unlocked a air strike device for the recon class, and if a tank isn't moving around a whole lot...it's good as dead.

People also need to realize that an engineer repairing a tank while someone is controlling it is VERY powerful. It's a thing called teamwork that they're using...some people should try it. It's very easy to kill a tank with a engineer repairing, you just have to think a little bit. :P

Also hitting a tank in the rear does massive damage compared to hitting it anywhere else. I've taken tanks down in 2 hits with a rocket launcher from the rear.

[JonnyBigBoss]

I respect this game on all accounts, but I do not enjoy the beta. I know it's a beta but there are a lot of kinks left to be worked out, and compared to other FPS (Call of Duty, Source, etc.) the gun gameplay is subpar.

[Elvfam511]

Gun play is subpar?

Dang no I didn't know haha

[CrippleH]

Don't you know man? Guns actually having recoil is subpar to COD fans.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

...and people who think they're too awesome for Call of Duty are the "real gamers".

Lols.

Grow up.

[Elvfam511]

"...and people who think they're too awesome for Call of Duty are the "real gamers".

Lols.

Grow up."

The hell you talking about lol

nobody said COD gamers aren't so called "real gamers"

you reading to much into comments

[CrippleH]

More like COD fans wanting every fps to be like it.

People take too long to die (MW2 you can die 2-3 hits with a sub-machine gun which is pretty ridiculous if the character is wearing body armor, the costume must be for show then. Real body ceramic plates can deflect over 3-4 upclose shots from an ak47.), guns having recoil is subpar shooting and so is having bullet drop, forget real time penetration even a 9mm can shoot through concrete walls, and etc.

MW2 is an arcade shooter which makes that acceptable, but seriously not every fps should be like that.

[Blaster_Master]

lol, I know you just didn't compare BC2 to a gaming engine? Fanboyish much? I think your just jealous that your 1 console owning butt cant play the game. BTW, how is the shooting sub par? You aim down your iron sight and shoot. Oh I know why. Its because you dont have a heartbeat sensor on it huh? Go play Call of Nooby on your p2p servers with random spawning and shut up.

[LostCypher11]

Leon is that a trick question? cuz i've always had more fun playing battlefield games then COD games

[Digitaldude]

Its funny, Call of Duty took the easy way out by making guns unrealistically accurate, and no gravity on bullets making it easy to control, when games like Battlefield try to add recoil and realism get bashed.
How sad.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

What sounds like more fun to you?

: )

It's a game.

[PeptoBismol]

kennedy, have a bubble.

don't know how your count got so low.

[life doomer]

the only thing they have to work on is the balancing. It takes so much people to just blow one tank up and you get easy kills from it.

[Elvfam511]

probably somebody in the tank got the 2x armor for it

[CrippleH]

Get upclose (Sneak up on it with a recon or engineer). C4 it with recon for 1 hit kill and for Engineer put land mines next to it and shoot it.

[Nikuma]

Tanks are so easy to kill it's silly. Only time killing a tank is ever an issue is if hes got an engineer constantly repairing it, and if that is your problem then L2P.

[bigrudowsky]

yeah recon is great i love sniping in that game its much more challenging than in mw you actually have to get a headshot for a quick kill gotta love that.

[life doomer]

but in one match during the third part on the bridge part, our team was spawning where the tank was which was killing us all by one. Our team didn't know how to escape, so we used all of strength to blow it up. The player recieved over 60000 points.

edit: oh yeah and we were all vulnerable because we had no where to take cover

[CrippleH]

That's a no win situation. I had some earlier today, but I also had awesome moments. Maybe the tank had an engineer behind it that kept on fixing it.

I died tons of times when I got caught sneaking up on it, or die blowing it up. The thing is better to have the tank destroyed then have it destroy your team.

[xcox]

wow, the audio is phenomenal

[boodybandit]

the audio was amazing in the last BC so I'm sure it's just as good or better now. Can you enable DTS with the PS3 beta?

[xcox]

i'm using 7.1 PCM over HDMI but i assume that all PS3 games now support DTS and AC3 over optical (set that up in the XMB)

[dannybohy]

anyone know if the pc version will have lean?
Kind of a deal breaker for me personally!
ive been playing cod since day one, but never player battlefield
looks good! but you gotta have lean surely? especially in what is supposed to be a tactical game, right?

[Cacolaco]

You know, I'm loving the beta, and I don't really care too much about lean (never use it much in other games), but I think that you should be able to go prone.

I mean, you're always so exposed when you go to shoot something...

[LostCypher11]

there is no Prone? I thought they were bringing that back in BC2. tho it never really bothered me that much. A prone sniper would be nearly impossible to find with the scale of the maps

[Cacolaco]

Yeah, but they show you who shot you, so going prone wouldn't be that much of an advantage. It would just give you a little cover while you were locating your targets.

And you can blow away the cover too, so it just makes a lot of sense to add the ability to go prone. I never played BC1, so I don't know if it was there, but it isn't included in the beta yet...

[LostCypher11]

wait they show who shot you now? ugh thats not cool.

[NoOoB101]

Ya the audio is great, gameplay is ok not great. needs more people on each map. visuals are eh..but they have time to fix those up.

[Sunny_D]

The graphics are from an old build, they are using an alpha build since this is a closed beta. The full game will have much improved graphics. Hopefully they can get 32 players in the full release.

[Neo604]

Rocket launcher will do cause you can have the range. C4 only work if the tank doesn't move much.

[CrippleH]

A lot of the time when next to objectives tanks stay still, easy targets.

Or riddle the road with landmines, since it doesn't disappear when you die after setting them.

[Cacolaco]

It usually takes several hits with the rocket launcher, and it's so slow to reload. C4 is definitely the best... almost too good, honestly.

[Nikuma]

You have to aim for the rear end of the tank with rocket launchers. 2 hits from the back on a tank will usually kill it.

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Really loving the Beta...

...but I'm also in the MAG beta.

Makes Battlefield look like a joke. (Not necessarily graphics...just gameplay.)

[yoghurt]

I'm also in the MAG Beta, but I have to disagree with you as I prefer BF at the moment, I WANT to love mag, but it just doesn't seem as 'playable' to me, I guess you have to be more of a team and I just seem to play with people who don't do that - like medics walking straight past you and things like that - I'll prob end up buying both but at the mo its BFBC for me

[elorm9]

I've been in both betas and I prefer BFBC2 a lot better. MAG could be a lot better, I guess I just don't see the point in having 256 players in one round. BFBC2 only has 24 players in a round, and it feels and actually sounds like a massive battle compared to MAG.

[life doomer]

we were the defender team. the offender teams tank didn't move at all. There were 2 people on it and it was blocking the bridge so we couldn't get through, it was killing us all one by one. It took so many rockets to just blow it up. I think it was the section right before the last part.

edit: i love the game, it's just that the tanks are a bit overpowered.

[CrippleH]

I see what you mean that section. Need a high level recon if you can't take it out with rpg or getting upclose or a uav with rpg spam.

[monkey602]

Yeah tanks are proving tough alright but maybe once people get a little more used to the game and know what it takes to destroy one they wont be running rampant like they are at the moment

[Cacolaco]

It's not that the tanks are overpowered, it's that the teamwork is underpowered. The biggest thing that people need to figure out is to work as a team.

Tanks aren't that great if everyone works together to take it out. So, instead of using that bluetooth headset to broadcast South Park in came, actually try communicating a plan of action =P

Tanks should be really tough. I hate games where the tank's armor is paper thin and anyone can kill it in 10 seconds. If real life was like most games, the Army wouldn't bother sending tanks into battle at all...

[micro_invader]

*Drooling*

Looks great, can't wait for the December beta.

[GamerPS360]

I agree.
Played about 10 matches so far with handicap controller and I just can't handle it. I love BF games. This one looks and plays better than BF2 but I need it on PC.

[Rocco Siffredi]

How many players had BF: BC?? wasnt it 32??

[LostCypher11]

BC was just 24

[divideby0]

I was a little let down with MAG, but more let down with BC2..both are betas, and if I dont see a big improvement..BC2 is a no buy and MAG is on the fence...

[monkey602]

I'm liking the Beta so far. I enjoy sniping in it. Haven't played much at all but it seems promising.

The crowd here at N4G are getting worse. Anyone who mentions COD in a positive light at all is getting met with 42 disagrees and a bubble rape. What ever you guys think there are a few million people logging into that game on a daily basis and enjoying themselves. Me included. If thats not gaming then I dont want to be in your "hardcore" minority at all.
I'd much rather have fun and enjoy myself with my friends

EDIT: I can agree with PC gamers but the console crowd need to get over it

[ZILLA]

is what all me and my friend have been say since we started playing.BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD COMPANY 2 is E P I C!!

[freddy99]

Love the pacing of the game. Yes sometimes u spawn a little out of the action, but it only takes about 20-30 sec. to sprint into action again. I like mw2 also, but sometimes i feel its too intense, never get to relaxe in that game...

my favourite class in bf2 is the engineer, which has an rpg:) doesnt take more than 3 well placed shoots to take the tanks out.

[Solans Scott]

All I can say is that March 2010 can't come soon enough

[Boty]

I have a 40" Sony 1080P TV on which I play this game(beta) on and experience minimum jaggies. Maybe on the first game yes but the beta no. I believe that they have some anti-aliasing in the second game now.(sure looks like it to me.)

[evrfighter]

I have a 40" but I play on my 23" LED monitor. It's native 1080p so when it's not native 1080p it looks like sh*t.

This is the reason why I'm waiting for pc beta.

[ramiuk1]

if u look at any war,i think u folks my notice that if a tank rolled up to load of people it would kill an awefull lot before it was blown up,its meant to be overpowering and such,hiding from a passing tank was something i love about BFBC.

i just want to be in the beta so i can sell my crappy modern warfare 2,
or should i say my overpriced addon

[xg-ei8ht]

I've not played cod mw 2.

I've got the beta of BFBC2 and i'm loving it so far.

The destructability is awesome.

The Graphics are pretty sweet.

The way the guns handle and everyone works for me, yes i'm having a harder time without a mouse and kb, but hey, i'm getting used to it.

On the subject of MW2, theres part of a city in the beta of bfbc2 and the way you duck and move and hide as you move through the city is nothing short of realism. The glass smashes as a sniper tries to do you from long range.

I don't know how it's going to turn out when said and done, but atm it's very good.

If anyone has a spare mag code, i'd like to try it out.

[Hanif-876]

I don't care what anyone else says but this game is something spectacular. Therefore, i pronounce this game the most innovative and the most realistic "First Person Shooter" i've ever played. Furthermore, i'd say that the graphics are awesome but the lack of anti-aliasing isn't helping which is my only problem with this game, and the contrast/brightness being too high. However, the gameplay is awesome with vehicular warfare and tactical combat and being able to destroy anything with the new destruction 2.0 which makes this game so much more realistic than anything else i've ever played.

[Groo]

i totally agree with you, its the most realistic shooter I've played so far.

[Nikuma]

Yeah this game really is fantastic... it's rekindled my dying love for FPS games.

[Groo]

the graphics are just awesome. I've been enjoying the Beta a lot. This game is going to Rule.

[theEx1Le]

to the 1st person who says they want it

[pixelsword]

I'm already in the Beta.

But thanks for offering :)

[bigrudowsky]

Yeah tanks are tough but it all comes down to teamwork i took down a few tanks with a rocket launcher and help of a few buddies just have your team concentrate rocket fire on it itll go quickly

[spektical]

the first BFBC was epic.. idk why people complain about it, is it cause your most used to a noob friendly series in CoD? or Halo?
cmon this game is awesome, i even dare to say this beta is better than MW2 err i mean MW1.5.

I agree this game is one of the most realistic FPS I ever played, controlling that mini helicopter feel so real immersing you in a real combat environment...love it.

The guy playing kind of sucked, it looked like he had no idea what he had to do. For newcomers, the game will take a while to get used to. Once you get to know the game more, the game feels so much better especially if you play with a squad(a good squad). I've seen so much more action when you play as a squad/team. Also read this from a dev:"Arica Harbor is one of #BFBC2's largest maps. If you feel infantry combat on this map is a little slow, we've got your fix. I assure you." - http://twitter.com/Demize99... So they'll probably change some things from the map. Anyways, the game is pretty solid even for a beta. A few more months of polishing, and this game is going to rule big time.

That's right my friend.

COD MW2 took noob gaming to the next level. Infinity ward made the game even easier to play to get more sales. No skill required.

BTF2 is COd with less Auto Aim so it more fun to a player like me.

MAG is the hardest game to play becuase there is not much Auto Aim.
Two game one day buys for me is BTF2 and MAG. I stilll have COD MW1 but I'll pass on MW2. Infinity War pretty much said screw the gamers that want a game that is challenging and hello Noobies.

I actually did enjoy MW2 better on the 360. i don't know why, but i accept the disagrees that i will get for this.
