Bad Company 2 Singleplayer Footage

StickSkills.com writes, "Bad Company 2 is a title that is making one hell of an attempt to dethrown Modern Warfare 2 as the most beloved first-person shooter. While EA & DICE have shown a plethora of multiplayer footage over the past few months, we had yet to see any singleplayer footage until recently."

Same way here. Loved the first, and can't wait for the second one.

LukaX235206d ago

This is the original story post: http://www.n4g.com/ps3/News...

So much for the "contributors" of N4G. -_-

Kevin ButIer5206d ago

That was epic in so many levels...

heroprotagonist5206d ago

Holy crap, that looks incredible. It reminds me of Crysis. I know it is not technically at that level, but it looks really amazing nonetheless. I would say it even outdoes Killzone 2 in some ways. And it blows right by Modern Warfare 2.

The beta was what really sold me on it though. I simply liked it a lot better than Modern Warfare 2.

Must buy.

OmarJA-N4G5206d ago

"I would say it even outdoes Killzone 2 in some ways."

Different environments beside Killzone 2's animation still looks better & the weapons looks more detailed.

bjornbear5206d ago (Edited 5206d ago )

So agree, this makes MW2 look like a Wii Game xD

@heroprotagonist

I kind of agree with you. But i can't say it out does KZ2...its just not there YET, BUT, its unfair to compare, since this game has fully destructable enviroments for example =/

I'd have to say this is probably the best looking multi.plat ever.

And don't forget - this might be PC version =)

Still, I do agree to a certain extent: yes this is probably the best looking FPS (on consoles) i've seen along with KZ2, and I'm blown away! =O

starchild5206d ago

I'm a long time PC gamer and I honestly don't think this is from the PC version. You can see screen tearing in some places and you would have to have a pretty crappy rig to get screen tearing like that. It must be from the 360 version and it still looks really fantastic.

ape0075206d ago

that looks super duper awesome

the gfx are unbelievable for a console, HUGE, DETAILED WORLDS, amazing lightning and on the top of that destructible environments???

wow that's too good to be true to be seen on a console, especially the xbox 360 after countless claims that it has reached it limits, well there you go this is your answer

day 1 buy

this generation is awesome

Hanif-8765206d ago

The sound is unbelievable. However, i didn't mention the gameplay because only a blind person wouldn't know that this game is the best and most realistic FPS ever created!

Hanif-8765206d ago (Edited 5206d ago )

Its not from the PC version, its from the xbox360 version...you can clearly see the Xbox360 buttons popping up on the screen at times like 1.25 onwards :-)

dirthurts5206d ago

If you play with the 360 controller on pc you'll see those pop up too...but I agree, looks like the 360 version. Can't wait to see the pc. Drool.

raztad5206d ago

No to be negative but small/low res videos arent a good representation of the actual game visuals. I recall how I was drooling over some small videos of BC2 PS3 and the actual game on my TV looked way different/jagged and no very impressive overall.

My advice is not getting your hopes too high on this one, or at least wait for a 720p video.

talltony5206d ago (Edited 5206d ago )

That is so obviously the pc version with the 360 controller. Guys remember Brink vids did the same thing, everybody thought it was the 360 version but in the end we all know what really happened. I can almost guarrantee that was the pc version. I just need HD video to really see for sure cause the muddyness in the video quality can make you guess how it looks.

AntoineDcoolette5206d ago

I wasn't interested in the first BFBC but part 2 is looking to shape up quite well. I'm impressed with the endeavors of EA owned studios this generation.

badz1495205d ago

and I hope there's still some humor touch left in the sequel! I like all the characters in the 1st game but watching the vids at where Sarge cuts the enemy's throat, looks like he's not 'that' Sarge anymore!

the game is looking really good and so far, this is the only multiplat I'm planning on buying this year at full price!

Now those are great graphics.

jannytime5206d ago

what great looking game, i playyed the beta and it did not look like that.. wow.

gijsbrecht5206d ago

But are these not the same clips that were posted earlier today?

MGOelite5206d ago

man if these are 360 clips i cant wait to see how good ps3 and pc version looks. amazing work dice

tdrules5206d ago

ah yeah all those multiplats that look better on ps3 *snigger*

5206d ago
heroprotagonist5206d ago

Huh? Is that why Mirror's Edge and the first Bad Company ran better on the 360?

I know some PS3 fans got it in their heads that Mirror's Edge was better on the PS3, but I compared them myself and the PS3 version had more screen tearing, more slow down, and more jaggies.

Hanif-8765206d ago

DICE confirmed that the BFBC2 PS3 beta was actually in pre-alpha, not even beta yet! so that they could iron out all the bugs and make necessary changes we're they see fit. I'm not 100% sure about where i read this or if it was actually a rumor but DICE is the developer of "Mirrors Edge" and the PS3 is the lead console for that game....it is to be believed that the PS3 is also DICE lead platform for "Battlefield Bad Company 2" because its considerably easier to get better performance out of the PS3 and also easier to port to the Xbox360 without any performance issues than the other way around.

Lehman Brothers5206d ago

lol @ MGOelite

of course the 360 version + PC will be the superior one, since the PC was the lead plattform.

YOu sound really desperate, do you??

This game destroys KZ2 already.

lightcz5206d ago (Edited 5206d ago )

what about your Halo4? This game makes Halo4 looks like a Wii game. Give gun to Mario and there, you have your Halo.

This game is for mature/hardcore players which excludes 360 fanboys. They have MW2 glitchfest and powerRanger games. PC and PS3 owns this.

5206d ago
heroprotagonist5206d ago

No, Halo Reach and Bad Company 2 both look amazing, and they both look a little better than Killzone 2.

lightcz5206d ago (Edited 5206d ago )

LOL, you need to definitely play KZ2 on good LCD TV. Give up your old CRT b/w TV and roll with time grandpa. Oh, almost forgot, call your son right at this moment to get appointment for your eye as well. Your thick foggy glass was expired before your son was born.

Hanif-8765206d ago

What have you been smoking? Killzone 2 is the most graphical impressive console FPS to date. However, BFBC2 in my opinion is a overall better game but does it look better? hell to the Fuucking NO!

20 Amazing Games That Have Completely Disappeared From Storefronts

Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.

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

EvertonFC66d ago (Edited 66d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga66d 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!

LordoftheCritics65d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend65d 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-Long66d ago

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

melons66d ago

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

Skuletor65d 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.

ravens5265d ago

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

monkey60265d ago

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

darthv7266d 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.

Skuletor65d ago

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

Terry_B65d ago (Edited 65d 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.

OtterX140d ago

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

SonyStyled139d 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

DaReapa140d 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.

Inverno139d 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.

1nsomniac139d ago (Edited 139d ago )

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

anast139d ago

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

Xenial139d 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."

darthv72404d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel404d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon403d 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 Kim403d 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.

isarai404d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341403d ago (Edited 403d 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.

isarai403d ago (Edited 403d 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.

zidane1341403d ago

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

TheEnigma313403d ago

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

OhReginald403d ago (Edited 403d 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.

DankSinatra403d 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.

isarai403d ago

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

DankSinatra403d 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.

ManMarmalade402d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra402d ago (Edited 402d 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?

Inverno403d 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.

badz149403d ago

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

porkChop403d ago

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

P_Bomb402d ago

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

InUrFoxHole403d 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

SonyStyled403d 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.
