First screenshots of Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Electronic Arts has released the first screenshots of Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

locos855590d ago

I didn't like the 1st one hopefully this is better. the guns didnt feel right to me

BlindMonkey5590d ago

fighting in winter would be pretty cool but i agree with loco, something just felt off from the first game. I think it was either the guns or the hit detection.

LoVeRSaMa5590d ago

BF:BC was a shame, It didnt feel like its older brothers on PC, it didnt even feel as good as 1942.

I knew the game wasnt going to do well from its demo...

Unless they make it Exactly like its PC Siblings, I think it will fail so more.

ChampIDC5590d ago

I had fun with the campaign of the first one, but it still had the exact same frustrations that I had with BF2. Some guns are so unnecessarily inaccurate (try any LMG =\) and trying to work with teammates to get health back and stuff is just impossible if you play alone. Health cabinets would have been nice. Gotta find a way to make the game more fun when teamwork is impossible with dumb Xbox Live goers.

My favorite thing about the first game was the sound of the guns, though. Nice to hear a game capture the echo of a gunshot as well as BF:BC did. Just wish they didn't have you pull the hammer to load a round into the chamber on a reload, even if you already had one in there. Yes, I'm kind of a gun nut.

Most regretful purchase of my life..

The enemies shot from miles away, it was hard to aim because of the jumpy sensitivity, and I hated the whole same setting you were in the whole time, and stupid objectives and story..ugh

MiloGarret5590d ago

Lol at you... You REALLY missed the point with Battlefield games didn't you?

Hint, it starts with an M, and it ends with ultiplayer.

outlawlife5590d ago

but the multiplayer on bad company was always terrible....

peeps5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

if ea have released them why are they on this site and not linked from ea? also its a modern setting so whats with the propelor plane. plus unless these are confirmed bfbc2 screens then i'd predict that they're taken from bf3 for pc instead.

just noticed that 2 of the pics are from the wake island map from 1942 and later in an update for bf2

Ghoul5590d ago (Edited 5590d ago )

Looks great

and BF : BC was a great game, one of the best characters in shooter history. and awesome destructibles and gameplay

EDIT ::

http://gamersyde.com/stream...

AWESOME i love it allready bf1942 on pc was my favorit online game and seeing this coming to my ps3 (and 360) im in heaven, the old bf gameplay +new engine DREAM CAME TRUE

i waited ages for this to happen

GoD_tattoo5590d ago

Do you work for em? Cause the game I played sucked....It died after about a month...

Ghoul5590d ago

Do i need to work for someone because i like something ?

"Cause the game I played sucked"

Sometimes i really wonder why most of you people game, nearly 90% of the games allways SUCK in your guys opinion ? do you even enjoy your hobby ? or are you allways on the hunt for the next blockbuster if so you really miss ALOT of great games.

sorry mate im not the kind of basher just because the mass dislikes it.
I totally enjoyed it

and btw im a huge bf vet. Playing every bf game since bf 1942 closed beta. Wich kinda makes me veteran since day 1

Pootie Tang5590d ago

i loved the first one too, single player was average but multiplayer is awesome

The_Kills5590d ago

that environmental damage was the biggest gimmick ive seen after SIXAXIS

BlindMonkey5590d ago

Wow really? I thought the destructible environments were amazing, more games actually need the amount of destructibility that battlefield had. I love games where the battlefield changes constantly.

Somebody never got their "Never Used A Door" or "Forest Ranger" achievement/trophy

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

EvertonFC95d ago (Edited 95d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga95d 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!

LordoftheCritics95d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend94d 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-Long95d ago

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

melons95d ago

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

Skuletor95d 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.

ravens5294d ago

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

monkey60294d ago

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

darthv7295d 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.

Skuletor95d ago

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

Terry_B94d ago (Edited 94d 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.

OtterX169d ago

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

SonyStyled169d 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

DaReapa169d 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.

Inverno168d 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.

1nsomniac168d ago (Edited 168d ago )

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

anast168d ago

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

Xenial168d 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."

darthv72433d ago

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

XiNatsuDragnel433d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon432d 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 Kim432d 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.

isarai433d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341433d ago (Edited 433d 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.

isarai433d ago (Edited 433d 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.

zidane1341433d ago

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

TheEnigma313432d ago

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

OhReginald432d ago (Edited 432d 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.

DankSinatra432d 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.

isarai432d ago

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

DankSinatra432d 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.

ManMarmalade432d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra432d ago (Edited 432d 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?

Inverno433d 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.

badz149432d ago

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

porkChop432d ago

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

P_Bomb432d ago

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

InUrFoxHole433d 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

SonyStyled433d 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.
