Game is fun. Shooting and on foot stuff both feels and controls better than the first game and 1943. Aliased to all hell on the PS3, though.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #70 on:** November 20, 2009, 12:03:16 AM »

Not bothered by the aliasing, but it's a bitch getting into this after hours of MW2. Not bad, just very different. A bit like KZ2, but with less aim lag. Love the fact that you can actually create craters.

Also doesn't help that no one knows what to use the tank for. I never snag one in time, so I end up being the gunner while some moron tries to use it to take down our own buildings.

cool breeze · « **Reply #71 on:** November 20, 2009, 12:14:35 AM »

yeah, going from MW2 to this, not saying this is bad at all (it's great), makes you appreciate a lot of the small things MW2 does. Like, when you die, it shows you where you last died, and usually those are on maps a fraction the size of the ones in Battlefield.

I didn't even get around to any vehicles. I was a tank gunner for a while, and the only good that came from that was the dummy driver was fucking up so bad, I bailed out and had to RPG the attacking tank on foot.

The only thing I have issue with is the class selection. I don't understand the engineer getting SMG while medic gets heavy machine gun. I didn't play BC1 a lot, but in past BF games, the medic was always the one with the SMG.

Does it still take a lot of shots to kill someone? Can I blow up an entire building now?

Damage tolerance is way down. And yes, you can tear the whole map up.

Anyway, I expect this to be more like GR than MW: excellent if you have a regular squad, chaotic and/or frustrating if you don't.

Not really. TF2 relies on each class playing their role. BFBC2 gives everyone more or less the same killing power, just with different weapons and equipment.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #75 on:** November 24, 2009, 12:05:37 PM »

Played some more, but I think I need a few days away from other shooters before playing this next. Sniping is really satisfying, but the default bolt action rifle is all sorts of annoying. The whole crate sabotage thing feels like a complete clusterfuck near the end of each match, much more so than MAG.

Also, why does it feel like the silenced SMG of the engineer is more efficient and powerful than the LMG of the medic class?

I haven't played the beta (Although I am quite looking forward to the game) but it's not supposed to be a true kill cam according to the devs. It's basically just something to look at while you are waiting to be respawned.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #79 on:** December 05, 2009, 04:34:29 PM »

It's a 3rd person perspective killcam which shows the actions immediately after you've been killed. You may have a limited view of your surroundings as it focuses on the killer, but you actually get to see what the dude does after killing you. So if you have a good idea of where the guy shot you from, you can watch the cam to figure out where he's going to be next. Oh well, DICE is aware of the situation, it just remains to be seen whether or not they think it's a problem.

I don't really care either way but if they are going to show your killer in real time action then that is going to be the result.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #81 on:** December 05, 2009, 04:49:09 PM »

Well, the COD implementation of showing the actions leading up to the kill is better, in my opinion. I'd be in favor of removing the killcam altogether, but that's obviously not going to happen.

Well in that sense I agree. Like I said personally I don't really care if they do kill cam or no kill cam. But if you are going to do a kill cam you might as well go all the way instead of doing some weird half way step.

In general what are your impressions? I had a lot of issues with Bad Company although I really liked 1943 and the changes they made (less damage to kill somebody, slightly better infantry combat) so that has me quite pumped for BC 2.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #83 on:** December 05, 2009, 08:50:28 PM »

I really haven't played enough of it to give a fair analysis, but it's ~~alright~~ fucking awesome. Guns seem more effective, but of course that goes for everyone else too, so there's been a lot of suddenly falling to the ground with little warning before hand. I don't know if it's lag or not, but there have been a few failed shoot-outs that I felt like I should have won, given how many bullets I seemed to get into the other dude before he even spotted me. So, ~~damage indication seems a bit off~~ I guess I just sucked. Still haven't seen a helicopter, not sure if they are even in the beta.

Really wish this was a PC beta.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #84 on:** December 08, 2009, 02:15:17 PM »

Man, when this game works, with teamwork and non-shitty tank drivers, it's something else. Maybe I just needed more distance to other, very different shooters, but this game "clicked" last night. Now if there would only be some choppers around.

Also, this is actually playable on PS3 since the precanned chatter is so damned good.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #85 on:** December 09, 2009, 02:55:01 PM »

The lack of prone is starting to get on my nerves. Granted that it would make it practically impossible to spot a sniper with the naked eye, especially across a map of this size, but it feels stupid. And with the spotting system being as liberal as it is, prone doesn't seem like an unreasonable counter.

Swaggaz, are you still playing this?

duckman2000 · « **Reply #86 on:** December 15, 2009, 02:30:03 AM »

I'm starting to think that console gamers are unfit to handle XP and weapon/gadget unlock systems. In just about every game in the past week, there has been a group of clowns busy with throwing medpacks and ammo to one another, just to gain XP. Sort of frustrating to have 6 guys in your team fighting for the objective (and being slaughtered) while the other half of the team is too busy gaining XP to care.

I played about four or five games, then stopped and decided to wait for the PC beta.

No matter what the system or platform, or game, this will always occur when you have an unlock system. People will try to game the system. The only difference being that on the PC, with dedicated server rooms there is at least a chance people will segregate themselves off to separate rooms to do such things all though even that doesn't stop it or eliminate it in regular games. It simply comes with the territory.

Game still looks quite good. I'll be quite happy to add this into my multiplayer rotation.

I am glad they are adding other modes like the 4way team match because I hated the gold plunder mode from the first one. And apparently they still have one more new mode to announce.

duckman2000 · « **Reply #102 on:** January 11, 2010, 12:19:55 PM »

According to the change log, they have patched just about everything that was dodgy in the beta

Best ones

* The Attacker's first base is now a protected spawn zone that defenders cannot enter.
* Lowered the duration of spotted targets. Aiming at a close target will refresh the spot timer automatically.
* Lowered the effectiveness of the Sniper's Spotting Scope, targets must be tracked longer before spotting.
* Fixed so the player can properly spot from the UAV.
* Added an overheat to spotting to prevent spot and order spamming.
* Spotting now requires the player be aiming significantly closer to the target.

That is some bullshit. I recently played through on hard and was expecting a slew of achievements, instead I only got the ones for hard difficulty :'(.

Watched the singleplayer trailer and it looks great. It was lacking the humor that felt kind of forced in the first one, so maybe they're going in a different direction. I still thought that the first's campaign was pretty good, especially the mission where you're on your own the entire time.
