Got to play 360 last night for about 4 or 5 hours. It was tough finding rooms for a while, played mostly rush with a few squad deathmatch rounds and a single conquest game.
IF you played the demo, you pretty much know what to expect from Rush. I'll just say that each map is awesome and each one has a unique feel and flow. I especially liked attacking on Valparaiso, the last 2 bases are a bloody bloody battle. Also, a good blackhawk pilot could potentially turn the tide of that map. Best battlefield moment was C4'ing a full Bradley for 5 kills.
Squad deathmatch is suprisingly fun and a huge change of pace from rush/conquest. It's very slow compared to the other modes (although, the room wasn't full). I played on Africa Harbor - for anyone who's familiar the Squad map is basically the entire streets area, which is the second base when playing rush mode. The map is slightly bigger than a single base area in rush mode, but your team's spawn is much closer to the action (you can choose to spawn in a random location or on any squadmate). This gives your flexibility for flanking and finding those lines of site among the buildings. You can really see how well BF team mechanics come together for teamwork in this mode. I could go through a million scenarios of how our team worked together to flush out and kill the enemy, support each other w/revives and ammo, keep the 1 vehicle alive when we got it, etc. I can't wait to get back into this mode tonight.
My only real gripe w/BFBC2 is that the powerful unlocks seem to come late in the rank tree, there could be a bit more of a level playing field between ranks. Minor gripe.

I think i'm going to double dip on this - PC for the giraphics and online, PS3 for the friends and GAF clansmanship.

Here's a decent review from the perspective of a PC gamer.

I played a bit of multi on the PC version last night, on high with HBAO on this game looks gorgeous. Unfortunately my frame rates weren't so good and I did terribly, wound up with something like a .5 k/d ratio. I'll blame it on the low frame rate and getting used to new maps. :lol It might be time to order that 5850...
A couple quick things I noticed was that your friends list got transferred over from the beta, you can now sort in the server browser, and the scoreboard now also shows your k/d ratio as well as your score.

I never win anything. I feel so special!
I'm doing the exact same. I'm just gonna wait a month or so for the first little price drop or sale. I'll probably end up using my 20 amazon giftcard for it also.I NEED SCISSORS said:

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Called my local shop and bought it, it'll arrive either on Thursday or Friday... oh my god Help me out with this hype GAF! Link me something that will calm the hype down! SOMETHING!

Texture/aliasing comparison (identical)

Water comparison (bit better on 360)

Forgive my ignorance since I haven't played much of battlefield games in the past, but:
Do the 4 individual classes level up independently of each other? Like you unlock different guns when you have accrued so much in Assault and Medic? Or does level 5 give x and y for Assault and Medic (as an example)?
Thanks ahead of time.

It's been destroyed. If the "being on fire" and being tracked weren't enough of a giveaway. Destroyed vehicles stick around for quite a while in this game.Yoshichan said:
There are unlocks you earn for every class by levelling up in general and some class-specific unlocks you earn by doing well with that particular class.Skel said:
It is much better. That is, if you think a modern war soldier game ought to involve actual drivable, pilotable cars, boats, tanks, copters, etc. and a battlefield larger than a quarter square kilometer or so. Do you?j-wood said:
Also watch this video if you are a MW2 player

The comparison video between PS3 and PC is strikingly similar. I didn't read through the whole article yet (I will later) but it seems the 360 and PS3 versions are on pretty much equal ground.
edit: That was a good read thanks TTP. So the ps3 version shines graphically while the 360 version maintains the framrate a smidge better.

Well, for certain people. There are certainly people that won't mesh well with BC2 and would rather stick with MW2.CcrooK said:

See, I wasn't going to get this. BC1 didn't hook me, and I didnt care for the BC2 demo. BUT I loved Battlefield Modern Combat 2 and the XBLA title.
MW2, which I will keep because my friends treat that game like a incredibly loyal husband who would never even entertain the thought of cheating on his wife, has me completely burnt out. Some nights Im tolerant of my own personal complaint list that I have about MW2, but most nights, I get about 3-5 games in and turn it off. I hate ditching my friends, but if Im not having fun that night, then I simply turn it off. I personally prefer Mw1 to MW2.
But I still have an furious itch for this type of game, and that TeamXbox review says this game will most definitely scratch it. I only played maybe 25-30 minutes of the demo. Is this the type of game that one may need to spend a little more time with it to adjust to the learning curve and wash the taste of MW2 out of their mouth?

I prefer this style over MW2 as you feel like you're doing more than just lone wolfing and looking for that next guy to shoot, depending on the mode, here you feel like you're part of something bigger. Plus no killstreak BS to deal with. :lol

"PC and 360 have much in common, so here we're putting the PS3 version up against the computer rendition, which is running on a Core i7/GTX295 combo in DX10. Use the full-screen button for HD resolution, or click the EGTV link for a larger window.View this video on EGTV"
Seems the 360 is even closer, but seriously the game on both PS3 and 360 look identical from what I saw, which is amazing. Dice owned balls with the way they dev'd this game.
