Bad Company 2 BETA Review

[Sirus]

Post what you think of the game so far

[Clay_Pigeon]

Been playing this now for the last two days and i have to say that even though there is only one map and a very limited amount of guns I've had more fun on this that all the time i have played MW2, now i don't know if its down to the fact that I'm normally on a multiplay server with a ping of 16 ( take note IWNET PIECE OF SHITE ) or what but so for its a frigging great game. I personally cant wait for the full release this is going to blow MW2 out the water then poke it with a shitty stick and giggle.

Well i have been playing since the launch, and i must say this game does have potential for the clan
Yes there is only one map and a few bugs have to be ironed out due to it being a beta, but overall it is good
The one map we get is pretty fast paced to be honest
I have had no lag what so ever, even when the server is full
There is a limited set of guns just now, but you get a load more as you rank up
The game is very very team orientated
The audio effects are amazing, use the medusa headset for an awesome sound
My only gripe so far is the amount of head bobbing as you run
The crouch toggle is something they will fix tho
You do need a half descent pc gfx card to run this or you will get gfx lag

As this is only a beta it is hard to rate, but there has been an update for it already
By the time the game is fully released i think it will be great
The best thing about it is there aint a load of assholes using noob tubes like MW2

This game is defo gonna be more popular than mw2
hence the reason i have ordered us a server
Keep an eye on these threads and the ones who can play will keep you updated

REMEMBER THIS IS A BETA
so far i give it 7/10
much better than mw2 crap

After doing a little reading and looking around i THINK they'll be fixing the damage on each guns, there's been a hell of a lot of complaints about it.

2 bullets into the head at point blank range
6 to the chest at point blank
8-10 in the leg and point blank

Also been a fair amount of complaints about vehicle damage as well, for instance some one firing a T90 tank shell at some ones feet and need two shells to kill them.

I agree with Si, i hope they fix the crouch bug as its a pain in the arse trying to crouch+reload+press to talk on vent or TS all at once.

But for the simple fact that you can kill some one and not worry about having to put in an extra 20 bullets because there crawling after you on last stand or dropping a live grenade on your feet after you knifed them makes my day.

The Rush game mode would suit TiT to the ground a mix between HQ+SnD.

just put the game on the lappy and there is another update
Looks like they are active in fixing the bugs now

nice one

You do need a half descent pc gfx card to run this or you will get gfx lag

Actually it's a very CPU dependant game as opposed to your gfx card (See Here)
There is a large amount of problems that need to be addressed if you go to the forums, the game has potential (even though i've only managed to play one round) but i do think there could be complications with competitive play, if vehicles are allowed in matches then it's going to be a whole new gamestyle and strategies to work out, the only infantry only gametype announced so far is the squad team deathmatch but having 3 clans fighting it out could prove difficult in arranging wars.
Time will tell on this one i think.

[Sirus]

A whole new game style would be great imo

The cod genre has started to get a bit dull, same old game over and over, remember Battlefield has been about for years and has always been one of the top games in its field. Its like going back to COD UO, sure there will be opposition against the vehicles but we can join many leagues.
The TDM with the 4v4v4 has only 1 vehicle that everyone fight over, but this can be destroyed easy enough
If there is good teamplay then i can see this as a good alternative to the cod series and lets face it, it cant be any worse than MW2

It may be a bit different to those who only play cod but i still think it has potential as a clan game
you may need a better cpu in some machines but it will run on 95% of systems

The guy in the post you refer to neo is saying that it does not utilise the whole of the gpu, his only runs at 40% where most games run at 80%+
I am sure this is something they will adress after the beta has finished
Remember this has only been in beta for 3 days now and a lot has to be done which they are working on

there are a lot of gfx options that are disabled due to it being a beta

[twistedmonkey]

Yeah its a beta not a finished product, the bugs people are finding are great news as they will be addressed before the launch.

Gotta hand it to Dice for giving people the opportunity to help test in this way, The reason Infinity Ward never did it with Modern Warfail 2 was due to how many cancelled pre orders they would have had after people realised how shit IWnet was lol.

Shows me Dice has confidence in the game

[kenitan]

yes playing that for a bit, and it seems to be quite good, but they had to improve performance a lot as 15- 30 fps i am getting in med settings is a bit low and it is on e8400 gx2 4GB, should run it better

[welshy]

well it sounds quite good, so i defo gettin it wen it comes out. when is the release date again?
