BF:BC Demo

[BrokenMachine]

Re: BF:BC Demo

Well I played the demo for a couple of hours last night and here's my opinion.

The assualt class seems strange not having medi packs. This has been given to the support class which I still think the weapons are too inaccurate. The assualt class has agrenade launcher which is ok. Not as powerful as in BF2. Assualt guns as they normally are.

The sniper class is just how you'd imagine. The standard sniper rifle isn't 1 shot kill. Haven't unlocked the anti tank weapon with it yet tho so I can't comment.

Support is the same as other battlefields really. Tho has the new addition of medi packs. I haven't played as support for very long tho as its not a favoured class of mine. But the weapons are the same as support usually are.

I haven't really played the other 2 classes so I won't comment on them yet.

Gold rush seems like a good game but I think conquest will be the bread and butter as usual. Gold Rush does require a lot of team work otherwise 1 team will dominate.

The game itself is a bit buggy. It froze on me once and another time I lost sound completely. Hopefully these will get fixed. Oh and regards to prone I have no Idea why they took it out as I doubt it would make much difference to be honest. Maybe when ppl have more unlocks it might become more apparent. Also it seems a bit easy to kill people compared to previous battlefields.

Overall it seems like a good game. I'm just getting used to the controls. I tried flying a chopper and couldn't figure out how to fire missles which led to me exiting my chopper while in mid air and falling to my death :dead:

Sorry if this is a bit of a mess but I hope it gives you some idea. :)

Hmm.. That's weird... In the one video what i posted here somewhere, you can see how he kills people with one shot to the torso...

Maybe it's with the unlocked weapons and not with the basics(lack of stopping power perhaps)...

Can't you see the helo controls from the options or something?

Yeah I've definately had kill assist points with the stock sniper rifle (m24). I have seen that video as well so it must be one of the unlocks.

As far as the chopper goes I was too eager to play the game so didn't look at the controls. That was probably my problem :p

Oh and dog tags are in it. I got quite a few last night

I think the unlock Support weapon, the M36G or whatever it is is fairly accurate in bursts/single shots. I've had a fair few headshots against snipers and such.

Specialist... Hrm, the dart is a very good idea (homing dart, shot at enemy vehicles, all friendly missile in a certain area home in on it) but i've not seen it work yet. The gun is very good ONLY at close range, same for the shotguns, which are pretty much one shot, one kill.

It seems odd that Support are both mechanics and medics, whilst other classes seem to have very little team impact.

And on the bug side of things, the sound disappearing is the only bug i've encountered so far.

I also believe claymores are gone! Hooray!

And, told you so about about heli controls :P

Yeah this is really strange. I'm not sure I like this to be honest. I thought it was better spread throughout the classes.

I unlocked the self medi kit for assualt, which is pretty useless to be honest. I also unlocked the mines for the demolition class as this seems to be the best class for defending (In my opinion anyway). The mines have proven to be a good choice.

I think I might go for the Laser Guided Bomb next. Tho I really want a new assualt rifle as well. Either the M16 or the XM8 but I'm not sure which. The stock weapons aren't that bad so I'll probably go for the Laser guided missle before I get a new weapon.

I've got the M16, it's a notable improvement on the starter assault weapons. However, I can't say I really like the class at all, at close-range, you're going to get owned by anyone with a shotgun or sub-machine gun, and on open ground you'll get your arse kicked by a machine gun... Meh, I don't know, I just don't 'feel' it.

Re: BF:BC Demo

It takes a while to get used to the assault class but i really like it now.. i unlocked the medikit and i think it makes it a very good class... true you can't do much damage to any tanks/apc's but the weapon i find very good at all ranges and i have often been able to out snipe a sniper with it on burst/single shot

[BrokenMachine]

Re: BF:BC Demo

I'm starting to like the assualt class more now I've played a bit more and the self medi kit isn't as useless as I first thought. The assualt standard weapon may not be as usefull at close range as the shotgun which is pretty much 1 hit kill. But is great for medium distance firing when used in bursts.

I'm liking the demolition class a well. I haven't seen anyone using mines except me so far and I am getting quite a few kills from them as I think people don't expect them to be there. Plus you can put them in craters in the ground so they're harder for vehicles to see. Also as I mentioned before the shotgun is 1 hit kill at close range so for defence its excellent apart from the reload time if there is a few enemy guys.

I've just reached my last unlock as its something like 140000000 points to my next rank. So I'm still not sure whether to go for the M16 or the Laser Guided Missile. Got a few weeks to go before the game comes out so does anyone know what the Laser Guided Missile is like? Is it useful or should I go for the M16?

How fast you can rank up in the game? Is it more like in BF2(slowwwwwww) or more like in BF2142(bit faster)...

It was 10 points for kill and 15 from headshot, right?

Re: BF:BC Demo

you can only get to rank 4.... after that u wont go any further.... as for the laster guided missile unlock... that was the first one i unlocked and it inst bad. the only annoying thing is that people do what they always do in bf games and bail out the tank when they hear the lock on warning.... that said if they don't then you can get some good kills with it.

Can't you lock to buildings and to other stuff too with the Laser Designator?

BTW i responded to the buddy requests that few of you guys sent(Limehouse and BrokenMachine i think)...

[sGkillfest]

Re: BF:BC Demo

No you can only lock on to tanks/apc's/jeeps.. you can then manually direct the bomb to a building if you want but u wont do much except make a big crater. you can use the support mortar unlocks on buildings tho..

[StoneCold313]

Re: BF:BC Demo

Damn... I hoped that i could level buildings with that thing... Just lock on and let it rain..

And the mortar unlock is in the support class, right?

[sGkillfest]

Re: BF:BC Demo

yep support get the mortar yes

[StoneCold313]

Re: BF:BC Demo

Just last two questions...

How fast has been the map level'd in the MP?

And does the demo have loads of bugs? Meaning is it constant fighting with the demo to get it to work...
