Gaming Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Review

Left it too late to play the Beta but pre-ordered it anyway.

I was a big fan of BF2 back in the days when i used to be in a clan. Squad based action is always great when you get a few mates together and kick some ass

It's nice to see that in this age of "Make it for the console, let the PC guys deal with it" DICE have stayed with us....well done chaps!

*Looks over at Codemasters OFPDR and laughs..."

 

i know all BF games feel like this, but this game feels like a console port, the movements feels slow, all the actions doesn't have the same crisp feel as call of duty.

in fact, the game movement feels more like recently released AvP rather than a heavy action based FPS.

sound is fantastic though, the use of Dolby digital made my experience with Asus Xonar D2X feels great.

 

play.com have already shipped mine

 

Great !

great walkthrough video.

 

this game is great. I'm glad they took out the prone as it was always opposite my play style. I have been playing the beta and never got bored even though it was the same map, but that could because of who i was playing with. Also as other mentioned it sounds amazing especially in 5.1.

 

Bah! I saved some Game points and have got mine for £17.49 and its just been dispatched......

I hope it sounds good in 7.1 - I knew that 7.1 THX set up I got a few years ago, would eventually be useful!

 

It feels the absence of prone isn't really a gameplay decision as it's a console shortcoming decision. There are a limited amount of buttons, and it's awkward to put prone, crouch, and stand all on the same button.

The helicopter controls in the PC beta were absolutely horrendous. BF2 had some pretty good helicopter physics, while BC2 it's just plain crap.

Despite the shortcomings, and I don't think it's as good as BF2, I still had fun playing it and look forward to the different maps and multiplayer types.

And yes, where are my jets!?

 

Do they still have golf courses in this game? I miss the action with the golf cart lol

 

Pah, I loved 2142

 

I guess since US is having a nice and early launch, EU retailers can't be bothered to stick to 5th March. They already shipped the lot

 

I hated the beta......as a BF2 player for 5yrs, it just left me completely cold..

All the destructible scenery is just too distracting, plus if too much happens at once, your frame rate drops quicker than Infinity Ward employees....

I just hope BF3 will be better in 2011.

 

I really enjoyed the BETA, it looked and sounded great, can't wait for Friday! Stupid UK/Europe release date!!! Really looking forward to another map & mode than Port Valdez & Rush... Squad Deathmatch sounds like an awesome idea

 

i cant wait for this ,just got my email from game to say its in the post .hury up parcel forces ffs

 

But the same thing happens with the appache. There isn't a really good way to shoot one down if your team doesn't have the right people (besides the drone exploit). I've seen appaches be up for a really long time, and just destroy the team.

 

Ordered it last week... Play.com sent it today... maybe it will arrive at my country Friday I reaaaally want to play this

 

It's the games fault your computer sucks.

 

Nice link!

1400x900 support yay!

if u listen hard from 2:46 to 2:49 u can hear someone saying "get first aid! here!" ....ah the misty eyed feeling of bf2 comes flooding back

Lack of jets is a shame tho. One of my first memories of bf2 was driving an apc along a road, hearing the roar of a jet engine then see two bombs land right in front of me forcing me to bail out, just made it ouu before my ride blew up. Epic epic stuff.

:-D battelfields back!!! :-D :-D :-D :-D

 

dus eney one know if there's plans to release the sdk

will there be mods ???
