    Bad Company 2 Feature Requests

    So it looks like we could be getting a sequel to Bad Company. Dice sometimes check out these forums so I thought we should try and give them some idea of what we would like in the sequel. What improvements do you think should be made to the singleplayer/multiplayer?

    Mine would be

    1. Commo rose for multiplayer. This would be to enable people to ask for a medic, ask for a lift, request ammo, give orders (squad leader). Points for following orders is always good as well and encourages team play even more (Especially considering how poor the VOIP was for the PS3 version this would have given us a workaround if it had been included originally)

    2. Squad selection for multiplayer. The auto squad feature in the multiplayer is terrible. I want to be able to choose what squad I'm in as so many times you get put with people who are just messing about. I feel this is an important feature of other Battlefields and really needs to be added to Bad Company to encourage team play and make it easier to play with your friends. I don't care how difficult or time consuming it is to use it would be worth it.

    3. Include Prone - I know this has been discussed to death when the game first came out but I really think there is no reason to not include it. All the other Battlefields have it so why shouldn't this one. If you don't like it because of snipers then don't give the snipers a ghillie suit as the whole point of it is to make people practically invisible when in hiding in bushes/long grass. I want to be able to dive behind walls away from tanks and stuff like in the other games.

    4. Better AI in single player. I just finished the game in hard mode and the AI really is poor. The only point of having Sarge, Sweetwater and Haggard there seems to be to crack jokes as they never seem to kill anything. The enemies are really stupid as well. I had one enemy just stood in the middle of the street just looking at me until I shot him in the head. They seem to roll out of cover a lot as well

    Can't think of anything else at the moment. I'm sure you guys will come up with some good ones. :thumbsup:

    I gotta agree with 1 & 2...

    I hate it when you are low on health, and you just have to wonder around wishing that some support guy comes to the rescue(what does not happen as often as i would like to).

    With the squad selection, the ability to change/leave squad without having to disconnect to be nice(or Sony could just add that mute feature )

    With 3 & 4

    I don't miss prone that much, so i got nothing to say about that.

    And to the better AI. You gotta remember that DICE really hasn't done SP's before... So the AI might be "bit" dumb time to times(what game doesn't have??)... And besides, i think it's bit too late to start working with the AI. In my opinion, they should just stick fixing/improving the MP...

        As far as AI goes dont forget that dice have made Mirrors Edge which has enemy AI so you would expect by the time BC2 comes out they should have a better idea about it. But like you say its never going to be perfect.

        I understand the frustration about the sprint button but I don't think there is a better choice really given the current button layout. Maybe if they reassigned all the weapons/accessories to just one button rather than 2 it would free up a button to use for something else. I would probably prefer it to be used for a commo rose rather than a sprint button in all honesty tho.

          cant they just make it so that when you press the analoge stick up twise he will run. Like in battlefield 2 when you press the W button twise he starts to run. This would be soo good if it is possible whit an analog though :|:

            Yeah, hopefully it will be much better in BC2... But there is still long way to it..

              Definately needs the squad system of the PC games.

              Prone needs to make a come back to. If not for consoles then certainly for the PC version.

              Wasn't too bothered about the AI but it would be nice to have bigger battles. Most of the time, you only had maybe 5 or 6 guys you had to deal with in an entire town or some thing D:

              Oh! and tank controls that make sense.

                For the PC version then,

                • 64 players. You don't want to go backwards in technology DICE.
                • Lots of maps. People want variety, both very large tank heavy maps and smaller infantry ones.
                • Squad system and commo rose... seriously, these features are just mandatory for a new PC battlefield game. Such a brilliant idea.
                • Keep the arcady feeling of the older games. You don't want a super serious realistic shooter.
                • Server browser - no one wants a matchmaking system for PC.
                • Don't water it down. If you have to, do like Mirrors Edge and release the PC version a bit later. The console and PC versions shouldn't be exactly similar, because of the controls.

                  Smarter AI is a must!
                  and a better sprint button!

                  why is this now the bad company 2 section, wouldn't it be better if the section was just called Bad Company?

                    First person demo recording! It's annoying having to use FRAPS that kill your framerate everytime you want to record something.

                    Accurate weapons but no god damn hardcore mode like in CoD4 - that was horrible.

                      They should be seperated or at least have a bad company 2 sub forum :)

                        The only two problems I saw with Bad Company was the VOIP was very shotty they have tried to improve it but it still lacks and sometimes just doesn't work. A push to talk option would be good.

                        And second I would say work a bit more on the squad selection and being able to join your friends easier online.

                              did the first BC have netbat? that's one thing they should keep from 2142.
