audio quality is amazing

I honestly didn't think that huge "FHLOOMP" sound effect was in-game. I'm hoping this'll turn out well on the PC.

@Vedicardi2 absolutely amazing sound work, let's see if any future review of this game even mention this

so glad I'M in the beta, me and everyone else in the world....

whoops double post, (boy am I a noob)

I wish I'd gotten into the beta.

The beta is awesome so far. Haven't run into any glitches or bugs so far. Also love that as soon as you earn enough xp to unlock a weapon, you have access to it in game.

Looks like Bad Company 2 continues to live up to the Battlefield standard of absolutely amazing sound effects. I am definitely looking forward to it.

One thing I'm confused about though. If your health regenerates ie. Halo, MW2, etc. in BC2, then how come the Medic class allows you to drop health kits? Seems like it'd be pretty redundant if hiding behind cover pretty much accomplished the exact same thing. I loved being Support in BC1 because I knew that other classes actually depended on my support (well that, and the M60 was such a godly machine gun that I could take down Humvees and helicopters with it by myself). I don't see what good there is being Medic now other than the defibrillator paddles.

Is anyone else tired of seeing soldiers that run as fast as bikes in these games?

@Jesus

Go back to MW2 then, this Beta by itself is better than that grenade spamming, tiny ass map having POS that is MW2.

If nothing else TheJesusNinja26 was effective at weeding out people like JZAMFL and ChronosWing who freak out at some opinion other then their own. Seriously, ladies.. calm down. It's just a fucking opinion about a video game.

I like both games. There, fuck all of ya.

Just got it working and although I didn't know what the fuck was going on, I want it.

@TheJesusNinja26- I'm not going to say your opinion sucks, but have you considered that MW2 and BC2 are actually two very different types of "realistic" war games? I tried to use Battlefield-style tactics in MW2 at first, and I got utterly destroyed. I'm sure if you attempted to camp and grenade spam (let's be honest, those are 2 very common strategies in MW2) in BC2, you'd end up on the losing side quite often. Or who knows, maybe you're just bitter because you're losing.

@CelicaCrazed- Ah, that cleared some things up for me, thanks! I was worried that the Medic/Support class was going to lose its relevance in BC2, which would be a shame because I've always enjoyed the beautifully destructive combo of keeping my surrounding teammates alive while laying down a cutting swath of machinegun fire into the opposing squad. Shame I won't be able to maintain vehicles at the same time anymore.

Oh, one more thing. When using the defibrillator paddles to revive allies, how much time do you have before it's too late? Just wanna know if a downed ally is a first priority thing, or if it'd be smarter to finish off any remaining enemies before attending to the wounded/dead. I'd try to find out on my own, but none of the videos I've seen show them in action.

WOW- Someone teach this jackass how to Spot lol

I'm rank 18 and have to say for a beta, it's not to bad. They need to work on some things, but Overall I can rest easy selling the pre-order now at work.

Needs more Sweetwater, Haggard and Sarge. No dice till I see some singleplayer.

@ Jesus - GTFO.

Don't like it, don't fucking play it. It takes the piss out of MW2. No amount of "I'm fucking great at CoD so I KNOW what a good game is" is going to persuade anyone. You should know what Battlefield is and if it's not your bag, let someone else have your fucking code.

I too used to come in top 1 or 2 of my team in CoD, like 35 for 5 rounds and shit, but it was a fucktonne LESS FUN and LESS INTERESTING than Bad Company 2 beta.

Maps too big + Vehicles = solved.
Maps too small + epic killstreaks = hectic + silly

MW2 was awesome at first, but running round and round and round and round a tiny little map, checking the same spots over and over and over and over and over, every contact being a case of first to the trigger unless you come up behind someone, then running round and round and round and round etc etc etc, get's pretty boring pretty quickly.

MW1 - Prestiged 3 times - loved it.
W@W - Prestiged once - bored
MW2 - Rank 58 - bored - got BFBC2 beta and MAG beta.

Battlefield is all about support, team play, long range combat and tactics.

Call of Duty is all about one man glory, respawn-a-thon, frag-fest and twitchy shooting.

I tried to play some MW2 last night, but after a minute or two i thought "This is wank, fuck this, I'm going back to the BFBC2 beta"

There was my mind made up.

I'm currently downloading the MAG beta too (Thanks Destructoid!) so we'll see which of the three will keep me interested the longest.

I'm just hoping the beta's last long enough for me to not have to go back to Modern War 2 anytime soon.

tru. i`m even not goint go check MW2. Gameplay movies stinks enough. It`s some kind of damn arcade for kids. :/
I can`t belive that over 5 mio ppls. spent their money for that. (i can understand xbox users - thay don`t have better games - excepting BadCompany 1...)

Frostbite 2.0 moves gaming to the totally new levels of entertainment...

My one and only worry about this game is that a couple of months after release of BC1, the game got too laggy to play!

I'm keeping fingers crossed that when BC2 gets to full release the servers will be big enough to handle it.

Apart from that, having a whale of a time.

I've actually gotten a headshot w/ the defibrilator.

Here is my beta code for PS3, if you can download it still you are welcome to it. FR9T-FDBQ-MHTG

@ Jesus - You know the only reason people got irked by your comment was because all it really said was...

"I'm really good at CoD so I know good games, and this game sucks"

Get your fucking head out of your arse. We're all the kind of gamers that read blogs, hence we generally put a lot of time into our gaming, hence we all are good at some games or others. It doesn't make us experts, and "it sucks" is not a good enough explanation for someone who seems to consider themselves an FPS expert because they play as much of the most main stream arcade shooter as the fucking rest of us.

You suck my friend, you suck.

Can't wait! My only complain about the video is: What's up with the beige overlay?

Gotta watch the snipers, Brad! Nice to see, although I didn't see much terrain deformation (I assume that's because you were on an more outdoor level though.) And man, is that the MEDIC gun? Because that thing ripped through a heli like it was nothing!
