Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[JP]

To go with this comes an announcement of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, not a lot of info ta the moment apart from this single shot...



Although it was flawed, I'm still playing the first game so I'm looking forward to the follow up.

I hope that's in-game, it looks lovely...

Bad Company caught me by surprise when I finally played it online and has had most of my online attention since I got it. I was hoping to get the 10,002 kills Achievement but don't think I will make it now, especially if I don't by the time this is released because I guess EA will turn off the servers.

I'm in two minds about a killcam. On one hand camping snipers are annoying, but with the bases moving it forces you to move anyway, and on the other it's nice to actually play a game where you can be a legitimately sneaky sniper, unlike CoD4. I would rather not have killcam because you can usually figure out where the snipers are anyway.

The Hardcore modes in CoD4 are your friend if you like sniping. No killcams plus one-shot kills are almost guaranteed. I love it, its like a totally different game. I hope they go a step further in MW2 and allow suppressed sniper rifles.

Back on topic, I was surprised how much I enjoyed the first Bad Company, so I'm looking forward to this quite a bit. Looks good so far.

Hopefully the kill camera won't be in the final version or it will be on selected servers. I am more bothered if they have added vote to kick or autoboot on excessive TC and that they stop letting people getting XP for shooting and healing team mates.

Release on March 2nd in the states and March 5th over here. Boo yah!

I played the multiplayer at PAX and it looks and feels really good.

How does it feel compared to Bad Company?

[FelixofMars]

Thing is I enjoyed BF:BC so I see no reason not to pick this up as it looks like more of the same but even more detailed destruction wise. I hope they have all the characters back from the first one with more awesome cutscenes where they are goofing around.

Hopefully with subtitles during the cut-scenes this time round.

How does it feel compared to Bad Company?

Pretty similar.

It is actually almost the same. They have given a helping hand to the defenders by giving them access to Blackhawks when they are close to defeat but they aren't game breaking.

The major difference is the lack of health syringes. It uses the regenerating health that most games use now. That is unless it is a pick up or a skill or something but I didn't see it being used.

I would say that if like like Battlefield and especially Bad Company (like me) you are going to enjoy this.
