Quantcast



Earlier this morning, EA DICE surprised most of us with a stealth Battlefield: Bad Company 2 demo upload. Featuring "Rush Mode" on snow covered "Port Valdez," 360 owners are no doubt busying themselves with the beautiful chaos that is the BF experience. But if you're stuck somewhere that's not by a console, give this latest trailer a look -- it's something of a taste of what you can expect in the demo whenever that schedule is free. You know, after all those retarded obligations to family, friends, work, and whatever clears up.

@ Magnalon,

Maybe in your mind. BF games, in my mind, are a completely separate beast thanks to the vehicles and the capture the flag gameplay. I like both games.

Highly looking forward to this (on my pc, of course).

I'm really looking forward to this, but why did it have to come out the day after I got Mass Effect 2 and MAG?

I like the fact all vehicles are controlled by players. I always thought the chopper pilots should be able to be sniped/killed in MW and it pissed me off when they always rained down endless firepower without any input from anybody.

This will surely become my multiplayer game of choice in a matter of weeks. I can't wait.

Ditto. BF is a totally different monster. Can't wait to crash my helicopter full of friendlies.

i dont know who said it but i might have to agree with an earlier post.

...is anyone else as surprised how sloppy the visuals are for this?

until this point i would argue EVERY game is better on 360 but from the videos i saw of the ps3 beta something just doesnt look right.

THIS DOESNT TAKE AWAY from this being an AMAZING FRICKING GREAT GAME

but after playing bfbc1 and 1943 as much as i have- the visuals dont look updated whatsoever. ...just seems kinda... not properly rendered... pixelated

yeah i know its just a demo- and im still a day one purchase on this just wondering if it actually looked better on ps3 for real...

Djvlive: D-Toid's re-encoding of the video fuzzed it out. If you go to the official site and look at the youtube in 720p it's clearer.

it'll be good. but it can't compete with MW2 multiplayer. kills streaks, death streaks, glitches, perks, etc. i'm gonna get it though just to prove myself right.

Personally, I find the videos more entertaining than the game. That's if I can get into a game at all... then once in, have a lag-free experience.

In fact... I don't recall the last time a game came out that didn't have a completely broken MP aspect or require an immediate patch.

I'm grouchy today..

Mw2 is a disaster. All the glitching ruins the fun. Bf:bc 1 is better than mw2. Mag is pretty damn good to. Not the best but a hell of alot better than expected.

Yea, I was joking. There are a ton of people who hate MW2 for no good reason, though.

people who don't like MW 1 or 2 or cod 5 multiplayer, don't like it because they suck at it.

On a side note: I'm loving the beta. There's glitches all over the place and it's still great fun. Took a while to get into the swing but once I learnt to not be an idiot and care for my life I was having a blast. Hope they get the voice comms up and running along with friends list. (PC version)

Tried it out tonight and definitely had a lot of fun. The videos definitely oversell it, but there's still some action to be had. They really need to tighten up the controls though... I felt like my guy was drunk when trying to get around fences and obstacles.

@Speednut

i had already been playing the demo after i posted that. its "possible" that because i play on a monitor (which xb supports optimum at 1440x900) it might be constrained. im gonna try it on a 1080i TV tomorrow and see if it changes anything.
