Sounds all good. The original Bad Company was my first go at a Battlefield game and I loved it. I've been meaning to get the second one cheap but now I've heard about this I think I'll hold off.
I wouldn't BF BC2 is one of the best modern shooters available. It's well worth having a go.
Single player looks st, but Multi player is excellent.

i started it but th eopening scenes of sneaking 10ft past a japanese patrol in a boat and then starting up the outboard 10 seconds later was lame.
i should try the rest but the multiplayer is just so damn good.

Yeah, being fking awesome is a huge drawback for the game... I hope they sort that out in BF3 wink

Same! I liked it, the first mission wasn't my favourite and it annoys me when they go through the whole thing with the plane with a nuke or whatever it was onboard as its that unrealistic, but other than that the single player was addictive.

I'm confused. Is it mission-based, then? What about multi-player? Will there be capture-the-flag or whatever is standard for BF2?

Unless MW3 allows you to drive tanks, quad bikes and fly helicopters, then I'll stick with BF3....

I just hope we get a video of the on-line play soon, as if I see that and like it, then it'll be pre-order time!

Yes, if the online aspect is ste, then the game's dead in the water.

And one of the fun aspects of BF2 is the use of vehicles - it's very amusing doing stuff like running over the enemy, car bombs (chasing tanks with C4-loaded hummer... Jalalabad always made me think of the Death Star run) and crash-landing Hueys on infantry. biggrin

Still not the on-line play though unfortunately which is what I am dying to see.

Frankly, I can't imagine it not being better than BF2 (hopefully they'll get the f***ng UAV to be on the map) for the on-line play, after all, they have a great starting point, the challenge might be more getting better graphics without too much lag from the servers.

Yep, impressive graphics/atmosphere but missions suck. It's still WoW but with M16s. Get 5 of those, take 3 of those here, kill 8 of these...

And if there really was a sniper, rather than sneaking on their front across the roof top, you KNOW 99% of players would bunnyhop all the way along while some cheeky git would load up a car with C4, drive up to the sniper's building and blow the lower floors apart. I would. biggrin

As we see it now, that game is play once and forget. Online play with capture the flag would be a different game altogether.
