BF: Bad Company 2

[Botervloot]

Meh. Arcade & spraying all the way.

But then it's good.

And it has: (above the regular arcade style gameplay)

- Eargasm sounds

- Destruction

I actually like BF because it's not like CoD, but it's to expensive atm I'm like totally broke with bioshock 2 <.<

Just downloaded it. Restart Steam and it should show up for you. There are no keys available (yet). Steam or EA has to send them out or something.

I've re-started steam several times. i might try a re-boot. (it'll help?). Thanks for the info though, is anyone else online yet?

You did pre-order the game through Steam right? If so, it should show up in your "Not installed" list.

Also, quote from an admin on the Steam Forums:

We are working to get CD keys as quickly as possible. Thank you for your patience.

[The Lazy Peon]

Yeah, i pre-orderd it through steam.

It appears as not yet released in ym games list.

i suppose thats good, right?

ah wait, a game called Battlefield BC 2 beta has just come up, it says the servers are busy (understandable). It seems to be working. I'll report back soon.

Experiences so far:

- Netcode is horrible. Extremely laggy. I read BF2 had this problem at release too though.

- Crappy or no optimization (YET, hopefully), or the game just doesn't run on my PC.

- Great gameplay.

- Sounds/effects are superb.

- Keys tend to stick

Still BETA, so not really judging this game.

Maybe lag because nearly everyone is playing it at the same time D:?

Beta released and stuff, servers need to handle mass player counts.

Dunno tho.

[Hundred2]

Double toast who cares.

lets share our soldier names shall we?

mine: Hundred2 (ADD MEH)

[-RatMan-]

Bought and played it today. I liek it, even though the servers are freakin laggy

Oh and my soldier name: R4tM4n

[Juggernaut]

I can't wait for the full game. I don't have the money to pre-order right now, but I will be grabbing this one for the PS3 when it releases.

[Botervloot]

Awesome game.

@Mayco, add +fullproc to command line.

Awesome game.

@Mayco, add +fullproc to command line.

Thanks, works great. FPS is a lot more stable now!

[Clavus]

I like this game. It isn't as large scale as the previous Battlefield games, but the action is a lot more concentrated as a result. There's always stuff blowing up around you (I love that *FWOOM* effect when something detonates right beside you).

Another awesome thing is the destruction possibilities, allowing for some smart improvisation from time to time. I once blew down a few trees with C4 as a sniper, so I had a bigger line of sight from my camp spot

Too bad the beta only has one map

[Hundred2]

Destruction hates me.

Got killed 3 times by <Destruction 2.0 (icon) Hundred2>

A roof on my face isnt that healthy i presume

[Nobana]

It sure is awesome.

I was in this three-storey building, and a tank was heading my way, I just managed to escape when it drove into the building and the whole thing collapsed over the tank.

Im still thinking that should I get this for PC or X360? I may buy it first to X360, and when I get more money, then to PC.

[Violence]

Sniper!!

[Mayco]

I also like the combined indoor and outdoor combat. This was possible in BF2 too, but all objectives were outside.

the destruction engine is the same as bf1943 engine or a more effective engine ?

Well i will try it on xbox360

I believe it's the Frostbite 1.5 engine, where BF1943 uses the Frostbite 1 engine. Not 100% sure though.

Yes, BF1943 used the Bad Company 1 Frostbite 1 engine, BC2 used Frostbite 2(Destruction 2.0). So basicly BC2 has way more effective engine.
