Critical Gamer Writes: The Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta contains just the one map, Arica Harbour, which looks a lot like a Middle Eastern desert town. The graphics are more detailed than Battlefield 1943, although it looks like the colour has been drained away, leaving washed out sandy tones; which are in sharp contrast to the brightly coloured beaches of Wake Island in Battlefield 1943. There's less of a cartoon feel to the presentation as well, with the characters all looking reasonably lifelike.
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.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
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.
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.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
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.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
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!
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."
This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
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.
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
I am so excited about this. I loved 1943 for a number of reasons - huge maps that meant (if you knew what you were doing) you didn't continually suffer the spawn die spawn die of COD, vehicles, destructible environments, small squads (so you don't have to clan up with total strangers just to get a chance of winning (I'm rubbish on my own, see)), and huge maps again.
I'm liking the sound of this one map/mode, sounds like a tactical approach will win out over run and gun, much more suited to my style of play – is it me, or am I the only player out there who'd rather not die at all, even if it means getting single figure kills?
I have a funny feeling we're about to see the new king of console FPSs in BFBC2. Can't wait to get hold of it. On a side note, have you tried going back to 1943 after MW2? Jesus, I've gone from being pretty damn handy to being utterly useless. Again...
Really looking forward to this game, the destruction is really impressive. Roll on March.
Can't wait for March
Hope the single player is a much fun as the last one
The Beta has been great to play, awesome game...
