Solo Posted June 9, 2008 Posted June 9, 2008 EA have ruined the franchise. 24 players in a game like this is pathetic. 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. 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. I will still get this. ........huh?
The fish Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I've just given the demo a whirl, and, well, it's too hard to tell if you've hit people, the vehicle controls are awful, but blowing the crap out of buildings full of bad enemies with an RPG is very, very fun. Pity about the online code being so buggy it's too laggy to be a proper sharpshooter...
DiemetriX Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 M Didnt know you could unlock the pre order sniper since its part of the findallfive.com campaign. You unlock those weapons at level 25, so you have to play a lot to get them. I think their's something wrong with the demo servers now, cause when I was playing the beta and the early demo there where no lag. I could easily sit and snipe a whole platoon from far away. I really love this game (multiplayer), I'm always ranked in the top three ^^. One of the big let downs with the single player is that their's no penalty for dieing. You just respawn, no need to play tactical (as you can and should). You can just go in guns blazing, die, respawn and repeat.

Pity about the online code being so buggy it's too laggy to be a proper sharpshooter... Yeah the game has alot of issues and it is indeed a step back for the series. Bad Company wouldnt be treated nicely if it was released on pc(aside from sound and graphics). Feels like a dumbed down BF2 for console gamers with added 24 player limit thanks to xbox live. Where are the planes? Why only one copter? why are the jeeps so slow? Its not that different from Modern Combat in many respects which was fine last gen. Its fun but a by the numbers game from DICE instead of a real battlefield game(thanks EA). More interested in Mirror's Edge. Metal Gear Online on the other hand is surprisingly good. 16 player battles(more than bad company most of the time lol), no lag, nice hit detection, huge variety of actions and strategies, strong teamplay mechanics and fun game modes. I think MGO is going to get alot of word of mouth.
DiemetriX Posted June 13, 2008 Posted June 13, 2008 Great to see people with different standpoints. I do admit I'm more fond of Bad company than I should be. But I find it WAY better than MGO online. And i don't understand why you are complaining about the number of players. In nearly all the matches I have played (which are a lot) you have more than enough players to shoot at or hide from. The levels I have tested (ascension and Oasis) is perfect for 16players. Need to play MGO more, but at the moment I'd much rather play through the MGS single player again than play MGO.

The beta was great and they made improvements here. They listened to the players. Bad Company from a battlefield point of view is rubbish. More like a sequel to Modern Combat. Feels too dumbed down and they took too many steps backwards. What left is decent and unique(for most console gamers) but it isnt high quality. I hope EA dont ruin DICE further.

I liked Modern combat (BF2 if ofc better), and bad company is much better than modern combat. Sure BF2 is great, but BC offers something new. It's perfect for a console game. It's absolutely high quality, the frostbite engine is amazing. And playing this game as a working squad is an amazing experience. BC is a evolution of MC, not BF2. And the full game is better than the demo. With more depth, unlocks and goals. I understand that you are disappointed if you expected "BF3", but you have to see the game for what it is. And as you said, you'll probably buy it. Hope I'll see you online then, so that we can play together. And if your to busy playing MGO, add me to PSN. [DiemetriX]
MadDog Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 http://bf2s.com/player/93585765/ I win on score I dont even play it anymore :P
The fish Posted June 15, 2008 Posted June 15, 2008 Played the demo again this morning, and I'm liking it more. The infantry combat is still horrific, especially when compared to CoD4. However, the vehicles are very fun, especially then wasting a building with a tank I also got my first shot at flying the chopper today, and after a brief, almost fatal, period of working out the controls, I'm glad to see they've kept them like Vietnam. The Apache's cannon is awesome, but I can't work out how the hell you use the missiles in the defender's gunner's seat.
DiemetriX Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 BattleField Bad Company Snake Eyes trailer. haha. Love it!
Strider Posted June 17, 2008 Author Posted June 17, 2008 Does anyone have any sound problems when playing the demo? My sound cuts out all together sometimes and when it does work it's abit dodgy.
DiemetriX Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 I haven't had any problems. BF:BC uses a new sound technology called "HDR sound". And on a good surround system it's sounds really good. Don't see any reason why you have problems with it tough.
Chuck Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Im gonna pick this up. Looks good, played a bit of the demo and it is challenging. The trailers are funny.
DiemetriX Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Game Informer 7/1/2008 9.25 out of 10 92.5% ^^ Looking forward to this. Especially Mulitiplayer.
dwarf Posted June 19, 2008 Posted June 19, 2008 I played this demo on PS3 and it felt a bit average, I'm craving a new Timesplitters, hopefully it will be shown at E3. Metal Gear is earning my time for now though, the game is just immense.
DiemetriX Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 IGN - Review 8.5/10 Bad Company opens up to offer one of the better shooter experiences we've seen this generation.
DiemetriX Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 The game is out. And it's great. Single player isn't all that. But still has a lot of charm and moments. Gonna play through it two times for all the achievements. Multiplayer makes this game worth it's price though
Choze Posted September 10, 2008 Posted September 10, 2008 Great game. I am still playing this. I sold off COD4. Tophy update coming as well. I wonder what we need for platinum? Anyone up for a game? Please.
STU-bot Posted September 19, 2008 Posted September 19, 2008 Hoping to buy this when the price comes down a bit. Need to get a new LIVE subscription first. Dissapointed that there are still no planes, F-4 Phantom vs MiG-21 in Vietnam was awesome.
Choze Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Yeah think of it as a fresh take on the series. Its a really good game. Definitely nicer than COD4 in multiplayer. Its amazing how many people are overlooking this gem. The damage also keeps the gameplay and tactics fresh. Online stats are excellent though plenty of annoyingly hard to get awards.
The fish Posted September 20, 2008 Posted September 20, 2008 Dissapointed that there are still no planes, F-4 Phantom vs MiG-21 in Vietnam was awesome. As horrific as napalm actually is, the Phantom was very, very fun. That said, helicopters are fun - as Vietnam showed us.
Choze Posted September 21, 2008 Posted September 21, 2008 We always have MAG for planes. Also planes would need servers. P2P connections wont work which is what BFBC uses. EA being cheapskates wont go down that route for now. Obviously its not an issue for PS3 but due to Xbox Live/360.
