New Battlefield Bad Company 2

[T-Bag]

I prefer battlefield to CoD games. I think if this has dedicated servers this would make a good game for us. It's quite tactical, though the high player numbers that would be needed might make it less suitable. It would need play testing at least.

I remember back in 2005 BF2 had a early beta maybe even in 2004.

Hopefully the beta will come to pc if it does and we can get enough people on it i want to trial it so fingers crossed .

Although i hope the pc controls and menu's are different they do look very console based

However, with my critical hat on the graphics don't look as though they have come on far from BF2 but this is on a console so maybe thats all the ps3 can handle.

I'm desperately in need of some BF2 type gameplay.
I hope this game will fit the bill.
If not, how about resurrecting BF2?:norty:

You should read couple of posts up. The pc-beta will be on December and demo on early 2010. Luckily for us, Dice is making the frostbite engine costomized to the PC, hence there has not been any PC footage as they are still making it. So there should be whole different game for PC and consoles as Dice has stated them self that consoles limit certain things. And it will be supporting DX11 so go and buy your self a new card, you'll need it.
And those graphics looks the best that I have ever seen on PS3 so I'm betting that if your comp has the juice to run BC2 it will look awesome.

Nice to hear a (DICE) Developer talking sense:

The PC as a platform is very important also in the long term, as it is a free
and open platform where it is up to only the developer to innovate and find a
model for his/hers game that works compared to only working within the
walled gardens of a fixed console (although that can have its benefits as
well).
It is no surprise to me that some of the fastest growing and most innovative
sections of the games industry are on the PC if you see it as a whole with
MMOs, Play4Free games (like Battlefield: Heroes) and social media games.
I see this as a continuing trend and orthogonal to console gaming, although I
would also prefer to see more of the multi-platform games taking their time
to adapt them to the PC to take advantage of its unique strengths. We will try
to do our part.

BOOM!!! HEAD SHOT!

That looks amazing..

They really really REALLY need to get rid of all the flashing text and awards etc.
Too casual player type.

MW2 for grown ups We, for instance, would play it in hardcore wouldn't we? There IS a hardcore isn't there?

Well said
There has not been too much info about the PC play as the game engine is not finished yet. But as we are getting dedis I would assume that we can change the game options, but for how much it is a mystery at this point.

Edit: HD-quality gameplay from the PS3 -beta. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wb4MAR_sv5A

Looks good, a lot of the new "features" are what was already part of BF2 and what made it a great game, but the environmental damage wasn't too good and this looks to have addressed that.

The new game modes looks to be a welcome addition as well and will fit in with our style, whereas the old CTF style was okay under AAS, but impossible to play in normal mode with limited numbers.

BF2 was great, but the long games was a turn off for some people.

If our servers are still around then they are out of date anyway, but with the release of the latest patch you now have free access to all the expansion packs as well.

Ah, the long Sunday nights on a dusty Karkand street. :crying:

I'm guessing this won't be on Steam, which is a shame

I bought one of the old BF2 expansions using EA's digital delivery service, and it's not an experience I wish to repeat..

I have bough 3 last games from EA through that EA download manager and it has worked like a charm. Uses full speed on download and very easy to use.
Maybe it has gotten better after you have last used it ?
