Who else is stoked for BAD COMPANY 2?

IconBasser · #1 02-28-2010, 08:43 PM

After playing Battlefield 2142 for a solid 4 years, Battlefield Bad Company 2 is coming out on Tuesday. Looking at all the gameplay info and trailers, it unequivocally appears to be the most badass FPS on the market right now.

oh yeah, and unlike Modern Warfail 2, it actually has DEDICATED SERVERS, which in and of itself makes this the superior game.

Happy Shootin'!

I actually thought about this for a while, but me and a friend have come up with a theory behind this.

MW, the original, had dedicated servers. This meant that people kept coming up with stupid rules (No last stand, no tubes, no whatever) and kicked people if they didn't obey.

In MW2, eveyone plays the game as intended, and people deal with it because there is no other option.

Not sure if thats the reason, but it seems plausable to me.

As to Bad Company 2, looks like a good game, might have to get it :P

I loved those servers. Kept out the noob-tubers and nade-spammers. Then again I played the PC version so I am more serious business about my games.

Anyways I played the beta for Bad Company 2 (PC) and it was nothing like the Battlefield series (2 and 2142 are the ones I played the most). It was limited to one map. I mainly saw explosions and snipers.

The clan that I play with is switching over to BC2 as the main game when it comes out. I might buy it this summer. It wouldn't be worth it to buy it now because I don't have time to play it.

I'm eyeballin' it carefully. I really liked the first BF:BC, and I hope this one kicks the asses.

Jonyak · #7 03-01-2010, 06:10 AM

been in the beta for a month.

this game is awesome.

I can't wait.

I can't believe there's no downloadable demo for this game on Xbox. I'm surely not dropping $60 on a game without having a bit of time behind a demo first.

IconBasser · #9 03-02-2010, 10:36 PM

AARRRGH the steam download is taking forever... currently at 92%

this is excruciating!

Dedicated servers = custom maps

Sure you can play MW2 but after a few years of same maps it gets stale
after all these years of MW it is still fresh because there are hundreds of custom maps and weapon styles out there to play on

I will prob get this after the price/hype dies down

I looked at the game tonight but it is only a 1 player game so I would be unable to play with my kids om the same console. As a result, I passed on buying the game. That's the one thing I love about Halo and can't stand about many other games that I would buy if they offered the same feature.

you couldn't be more wrong sir. The whole battlefield franchise is built upon multiplayer. The single player campaign in BC2 is more of an afterthought than anything else...

IconBasser · #13 03-03-2010, 12:54 AM

well, after all the anticipation and a harrowing 3-hour download....

it turns out that my laptop can't run it. Excuse me whilst I go murder the first passing stranger I see.

Jimmy Bones · #14 03-03-2010, 12:54 AM

If the multiplayer is out of the box cool, I'll go for it, instead of just Gold Rush then having to patch new modes later.

And i want some of the Modern Combat maps in the game too. I miss those maps.

So your saying that while playing online, I can play the game with my 2 older boys on the same console? When I picked up the game, it only said 1 player so I put it back.

I don't know, I'm unfamiliar with the console version. I misunderstood your original statement.

Agito · #17 03-03-2010, 01:27 AM

I'm pre-loading it now
I hope it won't suck as MW2 -_-

Kyon` · #18 03-03-2010, 01:34 AM

So I've been playing and besides usually launch day issues I have to say it certainly is a change of pace from MW2 and in a good way.

DigMe · #19 03-30-2010, 10:07 AM

I found a nice coupon the other day and bought this game for $20 (PC version) via digital download. It's pretty cool but I'm still working on getting all my settings just right.

Their server browser is HORRIBLE. Takes forever to update!

I got the same deal.... slickdeals or techbargains or something right? Pretty nice. And I thought I would have to pass on this one because of budget woes.

I haven't got to multiplayer on this one yet but I know from previous games in the BF franchise, the browsing can be sped way up by filtering out some options -- I go for no password, punkbuster, non-empty, non-full.
