Ahh, Just found out the Beta for BC2 was closed! The demo was amazing in my opinion. I was hooked on MW2 until i played BC2, and in my opinion BC2 excels on what MW2 has to offer overall, but, BC2 is a lot more difficult. What did you guys think of the beta??

IMO, it sucked. I felt like it should have had a less clunky feel and a smaller scale or a clunkier feel on a larger scale. Doesn't make much sense, I know, but aiming just didn't feel right.

Yeah they beta did have some bugs, which i guess they will take care of at the end. I wonder if we will actually notice a more, polished game in the final version..

WHAT! It's over?!? There are so many times when I was completely fooled that it was a beta... gameplay is already so polished. Just bump up some graphics, that's all. Someone shoulda told me, then I woulda played the crap out of it last night instead of going to my friend's house.

It's better than many full games and it's just a single level and play mode in beta.

i thougt it was excellent; one of the first shooters i've played where you actually have to use the mil dots in your sniper. and personally i don't see anything wrong with the aiming as i keep hearing people say. of course there were some bugs but nothing huge that'll detract from making it extremely fun

it should have had inverted x-axis controls. i didn't play for over an hour because of that. such a stupid thing not to include. i'm getting it for PC anyway, but it should have that feature in it regardless.

I could of tried the beta but I know I wouldn't end up buying it so I just played MW2. I don't really want to play 2 first person shooters at the same time unless they are completely different. Which is why I will be getting Alien vs Predator, but also because im a huge fan and it looks awesome. Anyhow, I was just wondering, how did those who participated find the game?

Impressions:

"Most fun I've ever had playing a game online."

Final thought:

"GIVE ME MY BETA BACK, YOU ************!!!!" :P

But yeah, I can't wait to get my hands on the game. The Beta f'n brilliant.

aiming was great, its actually good. Not like the arcady MW2.


what i thought about the beta:

amazing, need to make some sniper rifles easier to kill with and unlocking scopes, etc should be done faster.

OVerall i like it more than mw2( and thats just the demo lol)

only one problem i had was the: spawn camping at the last crate. Man i died soooo many times. THEY REALLLY NEED TO FIX THIS>!!!

Well, naturally since I am a HUGE fan of the Battlefield series, it was great. It was way better than MAG, and beats out good old Bad Company the first. I was really upset and actually had a few strong words when I tried to join, only to read below the beta was closed. It was the hardest delete I ever had to make. But, I can't wait until the demo comes out in January.

No, that was what they were trying to push for, but apperently DICE got all the data and bug fixes they need. The demo comes out in January, and then keeps going forever as that is the official demo.

the beta sucked to be frank. Aiming, and gunplay felt really clunky.... I see some are comparing it to the MAG beta, and i have to say that was A LOT better the the BC2 Beta.... the BC2 beta made me lose all interest in the game...

Ok thats a load of bulls**t! The MAG Beta and BFBC2 betas are both great but they are two completely different games you cant compare them MAG is Tactical and BFBC2 is just a deathmatch!

I found the game to be awesome! i was amazed that it was just the beta. I enjoyed it more then MW2. but to be honest, there a lot different, and are really in 2 different classes. I guess if your feeling you want to run and gun, or crave a arcade, fast paced shooter, then play MW2. If you want something more tactical, slow paced, and insanely intense, then get Bad Company 2. I sucked at it but it was great.

can't wait for the demo, beta was great, classic bf moments, already pre-ordered... :)

edit: - about the graphics - i do not think that it is an easy task to create fully destructible 3d environments with crisp graphics with the technology at hand, the buildings are not fixed objects where you can paste hi-res textures, since they can be blown up to smitherens... imo the first bf: bc rocked, this one already is much better... yay for huge maps and full destructibility... :D

This, actually I didn't hated it, I just didn't enjoy it as I thought I would. I hope there will be other first person shooters in 2010 for me to enjoy.

Few bugs, including: - infinite, spammable medic and ammo packs which really ruined the game for me. - few glitches with their 'killcam', mostly with tanks, where it shows the wrong death. - few glitches with their 'killcam' where it didn't know the spec they were using. I think most of the guns need quite an overhaul, especially the hit detection and the amount of bullets it takes to kill someone, and the bullet 'lag' where a kill doesn't register for a few seconds. F2000 - fires a lot of bullets, but way too little bullets to kill someone. In real life, yes, but in-game no: hold down R1 and the person is dead. Granted, you then have to reload, but rarely do you have to kill 2+ people straight away and even then, you have grenades, knives, grenade launcher, pistol etc. XM8 - needs less bullets to kill. It was utterly ridiculous that a slower firing weapon, but stronger, needs more bullets to kill than the F2000. This gun just needs a huge overhaul from start to finish. I also think that they need to work on balancing. There is no doubt in anyones mind that someone with AN-94, extra accuracy and the experience with the game will totally dominate someone with any of the previous guns or 'perks'. I suggest making either the AN-94 much harder to get, so you can't get it within the first 2 weeks or so of playing, or just make it worse. Buildings were a disapointment. None of it is dynamic and all present animation - that's WORSE than BC2. You can't even destroy interior walls, supports or ceilings. This is the one thing I relyed on BC2 to have, and improve on, and they didn't. Every building falls down the same way every time, with poor effects... this is the one thing stopping me from getting the game. Without this, it's not much different from many other shooters out there, and in no way do I class BC2 better than BC1, or any Battlefields for that matter. Disapointed to say the least, but unfortunately, it's the best FPS out there. It's definitely one of my favourite games, and definitely one of the best on PS3 I believe, but it could've been so, so much more. There's like 3 new guns for each class, and the perk system is good but so limited... they needed to match the improvements MW2 gave and more to really make this the must-have shooter but they feel short. Maybe the full game will be best, but at the moment it's about as good as MW2 with one map. Full game will be much better, but not legendary or classic like how it was hopefully going to be.

Buildings are fixed obects now, sort of. Every bit of destruction you see is pre-rendered almost and only the physics of the blocks are rendered in real-time, but all destruction is pre-rendered. High-res textures were just as easy to do.

I found the game to be awesome! i was amazed that it was just the beta. I enjoyed it more then MW2. but to be honest, there a lot different, and are really in 2 different classes. I guess if your feeling you want to run and gun, or crave a arcade, fast paced shooter, then play MW2. If you want something more tactical, slow paced, and insanely intense, then get Bad Company 2. I sucked at it but it was great.

The thing is in MW2 I only play Hardcore gametypes so it's always more tactical and slow, I love it. I HATE shooting someone with an entire mag to kill them, and I don't even think BFBC has a "hardcore" mode so I didn't even bother. Anytime I play an FPS than isn't remotely realistic, it eventually ends up just collecting dust and I wasted my money. I always end up going back to COD, errrrr lol
