I thought the maps on Bad Company 2 were going to be the same size than those of BF2. That was EPIC. You also have choppers and tanks in Bad Company 2....so the maps have to be a bit bigger to justify that. I think this game is going to be great as long as people don't expect TOO much from it. I also think people are being spoiled lately and when a really good game comes along, it's too easily shot down.
Maps are about the same size as BF2.
Don't make any assumption on the beta, after the last patch it started getting a lot better. Looking forward to it.
That's why I said I would wait till the game is out proper.
I'm quite confident that the game is going to be great, especially the multiplayer. You must just remember that this type of game is not for everyone. So make your judgment based on what you like and not on what others say. MW2 players for example might find the game too hardcore and not as instantly gratifying. Whereas I'm looking for a less arcade-y shooter which BC2 seems to tread a decent middle ground.
Been playing BF since BF1942. It's definitely up my alley. A couple of things just don't sit well with me.
I'm a big fan of Modern Warfare, but I honestly think that I liked Battlefield 2 a bit more. So I'm hoping for a game that's like Modern Warfare, but MORE like Battlefield 2. So far BC2 seems to be exactly that!
It's not "like" Modern Warfare at all. There are some similarities. Like the one button quick knife and customizable weapons.
I phoned bt games and they said it will be out on friday.
Yeah Friday release for us. Altho I saw some internet ads that say the 2nd of March.
Look I'm really hoping the problems I have are just superficial and will be sorted out in the released game. Some problems I have.
Shooting and hit detection.
I was really hoping that they would incorporate the same level of hit detection they have with MW2 but they didn't. It's better than BF2 (thank God) but not the best which is what MW2 is atm.
Weapon customization.
They just as well could've left this out since all the weapon addons (red dot, better zoom scopes for sniper rifles, etc) make the weapons worse. I don't know, maybe it's just me.
Anti-Tank kit.
The Anti-Tank kit may as well have peashooters to contend with the tanks since their anti-tank rockets do about as much damage.
There are some highlights tho. Destructible terrain is FTW. You can actually use the sniper kit. Equipment addons (like mortar strike for the sniper kit) are great.
I'll see what happens when the game comes out.
