Played it for the first time today. My thoughts so far…

*Overall Entertaining
*Large Maps, but not too overwhelming
*Tons of sound, maybe too much
*Poor hit reg (burst fire is pretty good at a distance, but close range is weird as hell)
*Horrible frame rate (I get about 45 max)
*Bright, probably just the snow map
*Confused and messy game play (although not intended to be)

I have only really played Assault consistently, but it feels pretty slow paced when you don’t think about the large scale battle going on. I spent one game just camping behind some rocks, sitting on ammo boxes, and mowing down mindless players. Vehicles don’t seem to be too annoying considering they are pretty slow. I would describe it as mildly entertaining, but not very competitively driven. The objectives get pretty repetitive as well. Unlocking weapons and stuff is really the only reward I can see aside from winning a map, which it doesn’t seem like most people care too much about. Typical game I have played so far is everyone scatter and wait for one guy to sneak in and plant explosives. Whoever cares enough or is paying attention will go back and defuse it. Messy, loud, and mildly fun lol.

Some BF2/COD clans in my area played BFBC2 beta and said that was completely a piece of SXXT. Even worse than Modern Warfail 2.

I’ve got my beta key but have no time to try it yet.

INF3RN0 · 2010-02-04 05:12:38 UTC

I think it is pretty lame. I am just trying to imagine how people plan to play it competitively… I’ve seen some BF frag movies and its like 3 kills spaced out over 10 minutes :rolleyes:.

PSG_Mud · 2010-02-04 06:29:00 UTC

Very easily,

Offense - Have tank kill destructible objectives from a super long distance, pixel shots. Everyone else go medic and support the tank. And 1 assault for C4 if its not banned, jihading with UAV or bike.

Defense- 4 engies to instant kill tank, rest medic.

If the apache is in play, with the vehicle damage in the gunner seat upgrade. Its pretty much over then if the gunner can spot well. I had a 40 kill streak with some random as the pilot. All you do is strafe(sideways movement not slang strafe.) long distance out of AA gunner range so you can basically dodge their shots. Impossible to kill and the gunner can kill very very easily.

you said this game is piece of SXXT, its worse than MW2 but you never played it.
isnt it weird?

He didn’t say that. Read his post again.

MXF.CN · 2010-02-04 11:20:46 UTC

I’ve just played BFBC2 beta for 2 rounds. I’m agree with local BF2/COD clan members that it is totally a piece of SXXT.

At every aspect it is far worse than ETQW. If BFBC2 is still beta, it needs heavy modifying.

Remember how wonderful ETQW beta was? That made me went to Hong Kong to buy ETQW just on the release day (ETQW is not released in mainland China).

For multi-player FPS, Splash Damage do the best. DICE sucks just like IW.

but, you can rent bfbc2 in china now. that was not possible in etqw. i remember your post on old forums (1st supcom from china), maybe good ping will win over etqw.

MXF.CN · 2010-02-04 11:32:35 UTC

Well, confirmed with almost all China BF clans, so far they have no plan to setup a BFBC2 server in China…

Maybe RocketBoy (One of the Best Chinese Quake3 player) can help since he did set up a BF2142 server in Beijing, but recently he is busy with QuakeLive servers and he does not show any interest in BFBC2.

:oppressor:

how big is player base in China?

MXF.CN · 2010-02-04 11:41:55 UTC

BF2142 has quite large player count and several clans since it was published here. Other BF series have fewer players.

In China, roughly BF players>COD players>Quakers>RTCWers & ETers>>>>ETQWers

I know that you can play it competitively, but I am just saying I would fall asleep . Unless its an organized clan or group of friends playing in a pub, I would think that any kind of organization would be rare. I keep seeing people in the chat saying stuff like “Man if only the game were like this, but the combat was as fast as COD”. To each their own, but it aint for me. On a different note, I think the destructible environment is pretty cool, but damn… sometimes everything gets leveled and the snipers have a joy ride. I joined a server where there was literally nothing left, including the trees.

PSG_Mud · 2010-02-04 19:28:25 UTC

TBH I stopped playing beta a few days ago because it got so boring, so I see what you mean. The game is lacking in the player control department heavily. Not to mention the neglect of updating the beta with some extremely critical problems(which is a marketing gimmick to get people to preoder btw). I do enjoy some aspects of the game, just not this beta to much atm. I still will probably get it, even though I hate EA. For a sandbox game it doesn’t feel immersible.

_milla · 2010-02-05 01:20:49 UTC

prob is not in marketing, problem in in you. you guys have probably nothing to do only playing games. all unlocks reached in minimum time, all levels also…
there are many things to do. for example real life.

i realy want to speak with some of you (*kids) via webcam cuz this is not normal. i think, most of you are below 15.

Leveling up is easy, and once you’re fully leveled up that would be when the game reaches it’s highpoint for most ET:QW gamers.

Game is laggy as heck the last couple of days, but I still have fun when I find a nonlaggy server. I’ll pub it until BRINK lands.

Hehe I’ll take that as a compliment with my boyish looks. Don’t get mad I am saying the game is bad, cause I am not. From the hit reg problem, to bad control it just gets annoying quick for me atm. Once thats fixed I will probably play more. And, apparently they already fixed it, just have yet to implement it.

onoezzzz

real life is boring, I prefer gettin drunk front ma pc and doing nothing else… ah right I cant

Why webcam? are you advertising for an allopass chat?

Anyway I never said the game was UBER bad, it just needs to much fixes (IMO) for me to buy it straight, i’ll wait until either some of my ol BF2 vet’s friend tell me its good, or I’ll wait till they patch it.

I still can’t understand why you get so mad when someone has a different opinion than yours??? Your attitude is more kiddO oriented than most of the answers here IMO… Anyway, lets try not to start the flame bait, we disagree, its not like the earth will stop rotating tomorrow…

Peace

PS: and I’m not 15, I’m 11!
