I somehow don't think this is going to knock MW2 off its perch, unless they really ramp up their marketing campaign. Which is the real reason why MW2 sells well.
Still no key for me :(
I don't think anyone thinks BC2 has a chance of outselling MW2. It's a totally different game to MW2 and if you find the gameplay kinda dull then I don't think you're a fan of FPS games.Quote:

It's a battlefield, it doesn't have to be full of pretty colours.
I think we mean real life/lifelike battlefields ez :P
What? it's a battlefield set in a snowy area. Now I don't know what you know about it, but snowy areas are generally white. And grey. White and Grey.
Are you complaining that they made snow white?
You realise there not all set in snow also, the Ps3 beta had its map set in the desert, gonna be a lot of varied maps
The only thing that could let the game down is the weapon system, in MW2 its only thing in the game that works really well and in the BF2 the weapon system failed pretty badly.
Heh, Modern WankFest 2.
I realise that yes. Its not about the limited colour palette, more about the design, its hard to explain but everything looks a... washed out. Like the colour that is there doesn't stand out at all (e.g. the Russian flag on the tank looks a bit dull, probably intentional so it doesn't give it away, but still.) I'm still hoping that the other maps won't feel like that.Quote:

when do you ever find groups of enemies with circa 1cm between them?
When do you ever get close enough to enemies that the shotgun becomes effective anyway? :p Maybe indoors I guess, but even then the knife is more effective.
Also the only weak LMG is the first one, but once you get an upgraded one it becomes a monster.
Quote from PCG Magazine, March
FAIL GAME WON'T HAVE MODES OR PUBLIC DEDICATED SERVERS
DICe will not be making the dedicated server files for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 available to players. Citing "security and integrity of our game and dedicated servers",they'll lease the use of dedicated servers to the players. Locking down the serer files means no multiplayer mods.
DICE previously took advantage of Modern WankFail 2's lack of dedicated servers to all its players and continue the tradition of the ultimate FPS experience.
WHY DO YOU HATE PC GAMERS!?
I'm not fussed, just pre-ordered on PS3 since my PC is epic fail ATM and I'm still waiting on nVidia and Intel to get their act together.
You're making a massive deal out of this. It's the same as BF2, ranked servers can only be bought from specific server hosts to prevent cheating (making servers that rank you up etc). I never played on unranked servers so it doesn't bother me.Quote:

Yeh dice are only giving the ability to host to certain hosting companies to stop cheating
To be honest, anything that stops cheating is good in my book. Although I can imagine that these ranked server files will be leaked eventually.
Even if they were you couldn't host a ranked server with an unverified host.
Are you all missing the main problem? No Mods?
What made BF2 so great, in my opinion it was things like Project Reality and player balanced stuff =/
(And afaik, unranked servers will not be available either)
What page is this quote on? I want to see for myself to believe it.Quote:

Yeah BC2 was a console port, hopefully BF3 will be the true successor.
Uh, it's in the subscriber forward-edition, but it's in those mini-news bits on the right side of the 2 page spread if you know what I mean, cba to find the magQuote:

So is anyone else up for a session of BC2 together at some point? We must have at least 4 people in the beta who are willing to play it with other members of ATK. It isn't a great game but I reckon with a group of us working together it'll be a fun time.
Or you know, we could just be a gaming community that games but fails on the community bit.
I would if I had tried it but wont be 2 weeks till I get a chance and I imagine release wont be to far away by then.
I WILL if chalex gives me the key to use..... lol
The key was given to ez64 then Target. As ez64 said he didn't actually have time to play it, he graciously said we could give it to someone else. Target's seemed like he wanted to play it the most :p.
Unfortunately, the key seems to have already been used. I certainly haven't used it, and ez64 said he hasn't either, so I've just assumed that Play cocked up and gave me the same code as someone else. I've requested another one and they will hopefully be giving me a new one tomorrow for Target to use!!
Right, guess I'll wait until the full-game before we all start playing together then. :p
You made need to upgrade your pc bloo, this game will not play on my pc atm even on low settings due to fail processor, however I am hopfully going to try it out tomorrow at mitches and ill give him the account details so he can play it
It runs fine on my laptop if I turn down all the settings. The only thing that annoys me about it is the fucking blue tint effect, yes yes, its a snow map... but bloody hell does it piss me off, all the colour is drained and washed out.Quote:

A lot of times, but I feel fine now because PCgamer voiced the same opinion in their podcast, so someone agrees with me. XDQuote:
