Good news for anyone who missed out on the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 beta: you're getting a multiplayer demo on February 4. That's tomorrow! It's the same thing as what's currently up on Xbox LIVE Marketplace -- the Port Valdez map, 12 vs. 12, Rush mode, and plenty of vehicles.
Bad Company 2 is a decidedly fun shooter, at least multiplayer-wise. The too-fast-for-their-own-good ATVs are always a blast to be in, as is the helicopter. Last time I got in one, I managed to effortlessly get way up in the sky, but immediately shot straight down into the mountainside below.
For once, this wasn't due to my love of sabotaging my team's vehicles; DICE is all about giving helicopters unorthodox controls. I was a young, inexperienced new recruit! Just another one of those great Battlefield moments.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

The above.
They all ended just as Jordan's did.
I think they make the vehicle controls so outrageous just so you feel a sense of accomplishment once you finally get it.
Either way, I'm picking this one up for 360. That's where most of my Battlefield friends hang out these days.
Their knife is perfect. The player actually raises it above their head to knife someone. It's more realistic. The only explosive damage boost necessary would be splash damage on objects such as fences. everything else is good.
The game is a <i>blast</i> to play and it doesn't even feel like a port, totally configurated for the PC player. Also, an helicoper with a skilled pilot in this game is a F'ING pain in the ass.
That said, I haven't had this much fun in a BF game since 1942.
