BF:BC 2

**Fragony** · 03-05-2010, 07:07

Demo is great fun, but for some reason I am having a real hard time with it, in World at War I end up being DA MASTER most of the time but these guys slap me around like it's nothing, just mob me up and throw me in a bucket, thx. But the look and feel of the game is great, especially the graphics are spectacular, really sharp and clean even on my ancient tv. Who is -playing/thinking of getting it- on the PS3

I'm currently playing it, and here are my thoughts:

I didn't know anything could be worse than MW2... but BF:BC2 is. CoD Health regeneration, the same BS building destruction from BC1 returns (EA, take a hint from Red Faction: Guerilla and make FOUNDATIONS and CORNERS destructable), checkpoints are so sparse that if you die, you lose a good five minutes of gameplay, loading times each time you die take about ten to fifteen seconds (and you will die, A LOT), less humor than BC1, the gunfire and explosion echos drown out everything, etc, etc, etc...
The only thing that saves this game are the vehicles... and only barely.

And I wanted to get it for PC...

I hope that there's some good reviews before the Deluxe Version goes out of sale - a.k.a. 16th of march because I'm getting it on Steam.

I don't care about the story-mode mind you, I doubt I will even try the campaign. The demo is loads of fun and I want a new shooter. World at War is starting to get old and it's annoying how they force upon you their map-pack, and I am not so sure MW2 is my thing, everybody loves Modern Warfare but me it seems, I miss the 'war is hell and you are in it' approach in the campaign and the WW2 weapons are just more fun. Love the bayonette *schwob* so gruesome hehe.

I got it for PC, only played some MP so far, can be hard to get a connection but so far I like it.
It has the auto-regeneration but it takes longer than in MW2 and reviwers actually mentioned that as a good point, like getting up to shooter standards of today, so it's obvious why they made that. May post more after exploring more of it.

Let me guess... you're one of those people who only buy games for the multiplayer. Am I right?

In the battlefield series, I don't see how that is a bad thing.

You wouldn't buy BF2 or BF2142 for the single player.

Bad company introduced a Campaign though and it's about 50-50 now, as most games should be IMO, offer something for everybody.
Played a bit more in the last few hours and I'm starting to like it more.

Actually I bought both for just SP and they are still among my favorite games.
I am not too impressed with the reviews for BC 2.

All I can say about multiplayer is HOLY CRAP!
After getting my butt handed to me as Assault, I switched to Medic, and in 90% of the games I have played (and I've been playing since yesterday), I have gotten the Ace Pin (top scoring player in the round) nearly every single time. By a HUGE margin. I'm not kidding either. I usually average around 1500 points a round. My playtime is only 2h 36m and my squad score is 2130 (as opposed to the average 200-700 around me).
My theory is people just don't know how to play medics. You see someone wounded? You drop a medikit. You see someone dead? You defib them. It's not that freaking hard, and yet I'm the only one (in full servers, no less) to get top scores by at least a 500 to 750 margin.

And I suck at PS3 shooter multiplayer. Go figure.

I don't really see any really bad reviews there.

And Kekvit, isn't it nice to know that this game rewards teamplay?

Some, Call of Duty being one of them, I never even bothered with the single-player of Rogue Spear, and I have played it for years. Who is playing battlefield for the campaign anyway (but you). I got the console for single play, I just prefer it. PC gaming is so hectic, everybody's jumping.
