So what map is this? It's not this Valparaiso as the OP suggests.. That's Isla Innocentes. Kinda confused here.

 

[Pennybags]

For all the shit talking they've done about CoD, the SP looks to be the exact same shit as CoD. At least the MP isn't a disappointment.

But Modern Warfare 2 doesn't have ATVs! What were you expecting, exactly? The Bad Company 2 campaign is more linear than the first one's, but the CoD comparisons were on the multiplayer side of things, weren't they?

[Killthee]

Then if it's only skins, it should be pretty cheap... But since there new achievements, it won't be free. Sadly.

They added DLC achievements for "free" with ME2's & DA's Project Ten Dollar, they'll probably do the same with BC2's.

However MW2 campaign was a complete mess and not nearly well done as the MW1. Also the story of MW2 sucked really bad, that is one part where BC2 will not fail.

The campaign looks a lot better than MW2's...

Man going through all these old Battlefield games for Veteran stuff is bringing back some insane memories. Although not as critically well received, a hell of a lot of my Battlefield time was spent in Vietnam. Such a good game .

For those who have the game or have played the beta - is it possible to turn of the crosshairs or HUD altogether ?

I am not really fond of that damn + sign in the middle of the screen. Its cheating and is unimmersive. I prefer using the iron sights.

Nope. Not possible to remove the HUD elements.

HUD is limited in Hardcore mode tho, but I have no idea what exactly is turned off.

If Arma2 had this games physics and destruction, it would be perfect.

 

[GhostRidah]

So jealous I cant preload on steam like the EA purchasers can =/

At least not for the moment, come on steam!

 

[Dennis]

That is probably very true - the thought makes me drool. The physics and destructibility in ARMA 2 are subpar, which is quite a shame as everything else is great.

Yeah kinda disappointing. The game can actually be damned gorgeous and amazing but certain things about the engine are straight original OFP. Like the physics and the goddamned voices.

I believe they allow you to turn the HUD off (server-side)....at least on the PC.

 

[Anton Sugar]

Yeah I think options can be specified but spotting, regeneration, HUD elements, and the crosshair can all be turned off.

 

[Gowans]

Am I wrong for really wanting a Horde mode for this?

Battlefield style starting with troops then the personnel carriers, then the tanks & choppers.

 

[Peronthious]

Preloaded and installed through the EA store. If only there weren't release date checking to lock it down until tuesday :lol

That's a dlc map, not isla or valpariso.

Gowans, what you getting this one? Also, its not _that_ bad an idea, but I wouldn't pay for it if they suddenly made it DLC.

If I remember correctly, when I played on a Hardcore server during the PC beta, the crosshairs, ammo indicator, mini-map and the indicator for Q-spotting were turned off.

I'd love it, Horde Rush, make your way from one end of a map to the other in a four player squad with the enemies getting tougher and tougher.

Not too different from what multi can be I suppose, just seems like a missed opportunity seems like a tonne of ways they could use the sandbox to make it really interesting.

360. Boat load of people on my friends list have been flat out bullied to get it.


up for a big Borderlands sesh in an hour?

That sounds good. It is exactly those things I don't want in my game.

So has it been confirmed if you can get clan tags in the console version?

[LowParry]

Still now Steam pre-load? The hell....

A hockey player.

 

[speculawyer]

Just out of curiosity, wouldn't pre-load make it more vulnerable to hacking since it is already on your drive? I'm sure they have their ways of keeping it safe, but it just seems weird to me. Great service I'd imagine though!

 

[Proc]

I am very torn as to where to play this.

I've been reading that this is a very demanding pc game.

Either I bump down the settings or go and grab the ps3 version...hmmm.


My rig being:
q6600
4 gigs of ram
win 7 64
gtx 280
1920x1200 native monitor

 

[Flek]

so do i get it right, EA is going to sell a shit storm of DLC (weapons, maps etc.) later !? Or is everything going to be free ? Somone said they dont want to split the community so they release maps etc. free … but yeha i kinda cant believe this

As far as I know, all files in Steam preloads are encrypted, and I've never heard of anyone managing to decrypt one before the release date since I assume they use a 128-bit or bigger key. You can still see the files on your hard drive, but you can't get any information out of them really until release.

You can already pir8 the game, no need to hack steam encryption.

It's already been pirated anyways sadly.

My specs are E5400 (dualcore 2.7Ghz), 4gb RAM, Radeon 4850 and I could play fine on 1920x1080 on medium, for what it's worth.

Steam version unlocks at 5AM Thursday in Australia, and I'll be up waiting for it, assuming they let me pre-load it.

About this... no news so far, right?

The ATV is the exact same as the snowmobile, and BC2 campaign isn't more linear. It's completely linear. You will be seeing the message all the time "You have strayed from combat. Turn back now." Followed by a ten second countdown. There is zero exploration.

 

[Mr Solo Dolo]

So how does the map selection work, is it on a rotation like 1943 (Sorry didn't play BC1 so not sure how it worked in that game) or is their a map list so we can choose what map we want to play on?

Don't worry (and don't get the PS3 version). With that rig you can play it with all settings to set high (only HBAO turned off and) and AA/AF 8x.

You should go play Left 4 Dead. It's pretty much what you're describing, tanks and all.

Paid off yesterday, can't wait for Tuesday, need a change from MW2 badly.

BFV is still my favorite game in the series. I really wish DICE would add in-vehicle music back to the game.

Haha yeah I love L4D, I've always enjoyed all the horde style co-op modes.

I would love to see bfbc2s take.

Rad, thanks. Steam purchase incoming.

I'd get the PC version but I know I'm gonna get my ass handed to me. KB/M players are an a whole other level. I'll probably get the ps3 version.
