Strider Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 So Battlefield is out this month (i think) and based on the videos and screenshots i think it looks quite promising and a worthy purchase. The last battlefield game i played was Battlefield 2 on the PC and i still find it quite fun even today. State your views : peace:
Dyson Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 I'm really interested in this, I love the idea of virtually everything being destructible. I hope they release a demo of it first, otherwise I probably won't pick this up.

I hope they release a demo of it first, otherwise I probably won't pick this up. The demo will be broadly available on June 5th via download on the Playstation® Store and the Xbox Live™ Marketplace. Welcome back to the Battlefield. Good news
Ramar Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Battlefield 2142 put me off the Battlefield series for good.
Shino Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Way to screw the fans, I only played 2142 but I really enjoyed it and would love to play this, but not on a console.
Calza Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 To be honest I don't think they could really release this on pc because of the whole destruction thing, they would of had to make the required specs quite high and having high specs did quite work out for Crysis.
The fish Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Hmm, maybe. If the mulitplayer is like that of Vietnam (ie realistic helicopters + lots of them), then I'll get it.
spirited away Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 I'm all FPSed out atm. Would have to be something special to sway me...any reviews up yet?
McPhee Posted June 3, 2008 Posted June 3, 2008 Hang on. No PC version? WTF? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Great, i now have to slum it with Xbox Lag and analogue sticks
Guest Jordan Posted June 4, 2008 Posted June 4, 2008 Just re-release Battlefield 2... Bad Company SP might be decent enough but, i'm honestly not interested in another team based tactical FPS.
Strider Posted June 5, 2008 Author Posted June 5, 2008 Demo is now avalible on the PSN store. It better be good. Edit: It's better than other demos i've tried. I think i will end up buying this. It's also got a great theme tune on the menu screen.
Dyson Posted June 5, 2008 Posted June 5, 2008 Is it on XBL? Demo is up, downloading it now, all 1.5 gb of it o_o;
DiemetriX Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Been playing the beta for a while. The demo has a lot of improvements. And I must say I'm hooked. Single player is better than previous BF games [captain obvious] and the multi is brilliant once you wrap your head around the strange controls. And a little heads up. The first thing to unlock is the auto syringe or what ever it's called. unlimited use and gives you full heath on the assault class, imbalanced but great.
Guest Jordan Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Why is accelerate on LT and break on LB? What? Seriously. I wasn't that impressed tbh.
DiemetriX Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Why is accelerate on LT and break on LB? What? Seriously. I wasn't that impressed tbh. It's so that you can drive and shoot while using RT as Fire.
Dyson Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 I love this game There's something so so awesome about creating a series of holes in buildings to run through (similar to the advert from a while back where the guy jumped through the walls) instead of navigating your way around doors etc. Destructible cover really is an amazing thing..it's hard to imagine a future BF game without it tbh :P
Choze Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 EA have ruined the franchise. The people liking this are the ones who didnt play the pc games. 24 players in a game like this is pathetic. At least give the PS3 version servers and 64 players. The game feels lonely. Controls are sluggish and annoying. Nothing on COD4. The radar system is retarded. It does NOT work. The squad system is a joke and the map design is horrendous. This is in many ways worse than Battlefield Modern Combat on PS2. Amazingly. Fuck you EA. Fuck you.
Shino Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Lol, and they talk about the Wii forums. I'm pretty sure Dyson played the pc games, and he seems to be enjoying.
Dyson Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 EA have ruined the franchise. The people liking this are the ones who didnt play the pc games. Fuck you EA. Fuck you. I love this game
Brian Mcoy Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 EA have ruined the franchise.The people liking this are the ones who didnt play the pc games. Fuck you EA. Fuck you. Mcoy love this game
DiemetriX Posted June 6, 2008 Posted June 6, 2008 Hehe. good old Choze. I'w also played the PC game, and I'm addicted to this. Go play BF2 you Choze, We'll enjoy some bad company
DiemetriX Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 The servers seem to be down now :/ Just when i found out how to make a squad and play with my pals. A strange thing they left out from the demo that was in the beta is the "achievement" badge page and the dog tag page.Those features makes the multilayer a lot more fun. In the Dog tag page you see a record and rank of everyone you have knifed and if you/they took revenge In the achievement badge page you see how you unlock badges. That could be any thing from destroying an enemy tank while using the same type of tank, or using a special weapon/class/gadget to kill enemies. This makes people play more varied as the need to use all the classes and vehicles to get all the badges.
Choze Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 Perhaps i was tad harsh. However that doesnt change the fact that this game is a huge dissapointment. Sure the game is enjoyable and overall its pretty good for a console game but really as a BF game it doesnt match up to 2142 or BF2. Despite the damage it feels like a big step back. This feels worse than Super Mario Sunshine as a sequel to me. Bring on BF3. Solid game but a dissapointment. Especially the fact that it is limited 24 players and doesnt even achieve that in the demo much at all! I will still get this. Amazon have the PS3 gold edition but play.com have an exclusive sniper unlock. Which to go for?
DiemetriX Posted June 8, 2008 Posted June 8, 2008 I will still get this. Amazon have the PS3 gold edition but play.com have an exclusive sniper unlock. Which to go for? Get the Gold edition. You can unlock the sniper within the game. It's not that good either.
Choze Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 Might just get the gold edition. Same price as the normal game right now lol. Didnt know you could unlock the pre order sniper since its part of the findallfive.com campaign. Use an odd email for the newsletter unlock. There is no telling if EA would sell the list of addresses down the line.
