IGN Video: Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PlayStation 3 Trailer - Single Player Trailer


So I'm pretty tempted to get Modern warfare 2, but then i just saw this trailer for bad company 2. Is it just me or does this game look like it's going to kick total ass? It's got destructible environments, open land scapes, vehicles, it looks bomb. Does mw2 have vehiclkes?

There aren't any vehicles in mw2. And BFBC2 does look utterly badass (beta testing ftw). I wouldn't really compare the two though, pretty different games, other than shooting people, BFBC2's hopefully gonna be a lot more sprawling and open than MW2. Buy both?

MW2 really doesn't have any vehicles, Ex, but it all comes down to what you like more.

They may have improved upon Battlefield in the upcoming sequel, but I remember choosing CoD over Battlefield's layout for the following reason.

*Not as much running around. More action, more fast paced.

*Battlefield is all about objective games. I'm more of a deathmatch man myself, so the choice was natural.

*I personally like CoD controls better than battlefield controls.

*If it were possible to play without vehicles, it'd be great. Getting gunned down by choppers and mauled by tanks gets a little old when everyone is vehicle whoring but you.


Don't get me wrong, Battlefield games are pretty damn solid. They are in no way "shitty" or "mediocre". I'm not saying that at all.

It's just small area VS big area.
Battling on foot VS vehicular manslaughter

That's how I look at it.

If you check that website, there's a trailer for one of the gametypes that is close quarters, squad based combat.

I'll prolly just rent them both to decide.

I guess I should've checked out the trailer first, but I don't really have a choice where I live. The internet here is tantrum-inducing because of its sluggishness.

Renting both would be your best bet.

If anyone's not checked the beta out, it's super worth doing. Entirely different game to MW2, so they're not really worth comparing, but BFBC2 is insanely good, even considering the beta build's nearly a year old. So good I put in a fresh shiny new graphics card.

I've been watching high-def trailers and yah... that shit does indeed look awesome. Do you know if its gonna be cross-platform online or restricted to the platform?

Probably restricted to the one platform, very few games actually do cross platform (like one or two succefully iirc) because pitting pc gamers against console gamers isn't usually a fair match, without dumbing down the pc version.

PC and Xbox are completely different ballgames for sniping at least. on pc there is a LOT of sway when you are aiming down the scope of a sniper. but theres no way to steady or hold your breath. combine that with the way bullets work in this game where there is bullet drop and you have to aim above them depending on how far you are, and its pretty much impossible to snipe reliably if the target is moving at all.

on xbox, there is literally 0 sway to the rifle. i played on PC for 4 hours the first time i played. got to level 2 and change, then i found out xbox demo was really beta and started playing that. i got to the same level that took 4 hours on pc in 1 fucking game. with 0 sway on the scope i was just decimating people. hitting headshots from across the map where im aiming like 2 body lengths above their head. I dont know if these differences are going to be there in retail but the game is coming out in a few weeks so massive mechanics like that most liklely wont be changed before release.

Battlefields have always been great games, but the Bad Companies I dont think really carry the brand all that well. I love CoD, I think its the perfect blend of action and strategy

dude the game compensates for distance online? That's bad ass. I've pretty much decided I'm getting Bad Company 2 now instead. I've been playing the original modern warfare online and it honestly can't touch the battlefield games I've played. Hell, Killzone 2 is more enjoyable.

i played the demo of bc2 and thought it was shite, not even in the same league as call of duty

The beta build's the same one they presented at E3 last year, so it's nowhere near finished. The retail build should be noticeably different. Not tried it on the console, but can't say I've noticed any sway in the sniper rifles either man, it's hard as hell though, ranking up is a bitch.

i just patched my pc client and tried again incase they had updated the sniper sway since i played last. but its most definitely still there. when you are scoped it moves left/right up/down no matter what you do. on xbox its 100% stationary only moves if you move.

Weird dude, my beta updater refuses to update, albeit it still plays online pefectly, but there's 100% not any sway in the scope. The only time it sways is if someone fires a tank shell nearby, or artillery lands, or you move.

been testing it out more and i guess the sway is only on bolt action rifles? and only on pc. ps3 and xbox have no sway or scope blur but pc has both. semi auto snipers have no sway but everything has the blur though
