BC2 Facts/Details thread

[Wizrdwarts]

Post facts or details that you find about BC2 here. Hopefully we can get a good list going with lots of good info.

I found this stuff on Twitter:

http://twitter.com/OfficialBFBC2

• No prone on any playform
• Dedicated servers for all platforms
• Dog tags will be in BC2
• 1.6 second invincibility on spawn to prevent spawnkilling
• 4 game modes: rush, conquest, and 2 others
• Realistic magazine sizes, guns favor burst over full auto
• Snipers will have bullet drop and tracers
• Some bullet penetration. "Small arms will penetrate wood and thin metal, except for shotgun pellets. Brick you'll need something explosive to take down."
• Slow health regen and killcam
• "The #BFBC2 spotting system is similar to the suqad spotting system in 2142. Can't give too many details in 140 chars. Blog later" I'm guessing something like the red diamonds automatically appear when you look at enemies?

Re: BC2 Facts/Details thread

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the Bad Company crew again find themselves in the heart of the action, where they must use every weapon and vehicle at their disposal to survive. The action unfolds with unprecedented intensity, introducing a level of fervor to vehicular warfare never before experienced in a modern warfare action game.

The 'B' company fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages. With a heavy arsenal of deadly weapons and a slew of vehicles to aid them, the crew set off on their mission and they are ready to blow up, shoot down, blast through, wipe out and utterly destroy anything that gets in their way. Total destruction is the name of the game -- either online or offline, enemies will soon learn there is nowhere to hide.

I thought i would contirbute, this is from IGN:

Re: BC2 Facts/Details thread

Liking the spawn invincibility, burst fire favored for weapons, and the 2142 style squad spotting. Thx for posting that. Anything they put in from 2142 will make me happy. Squad system and points were very good.

Re: BC2 Facts/Details thread

This is all the information I have gathered from videos/interviews/official websites/twitter
and posted on my clans forums, it includes what Wizrdwarts has posted here as well:

-Destruction 2.0
Frostbite Engine enables players to destroy the environment in order to force the enemy to new tactics, and provide unique gameplay each round. Tactical destruction on the Macro and micro scale. Macro being leveling whole buildings and walls, micro being able to destroy chunks of cover in order to neutralize enemies hiding behind. It also enables snipers to create holes to peek through to maximize visibility, while staying hidden from the enemies eyes.

-Features

  It appears you can carry two main weapons
  No prone on any platform

Another is Arica Harbor, the beta map.

Thanks updated my list.

Re: BC2 Facts/Details thread

@=)BiT(= Evant3k you do realize that a T-50 is a jet?(not trying to call you stupid or anything)

So I don't know if you just meant the model will be in-game or if you meant playable vehicle(which they already stated no jets).

[=)BiT(= Evant3k]

Re: BC2 Facts/Details thread

Yeah I meant T-90 tank. I don't know why I wrote T-50

[Roberts91]

Re: BC2 Facts/Details thread

@=)BiT(= Evant3k haha, anyways great list (I actually learned a little from it). Hopefully we can keep it updated and maybe a sticky?

Re: BC2 Facts/Details thread

Bullpup assault rifle seen in the Battlefield moments trailer:
Stery AUG A3

Rocket launcher seen in the beta trailer:
Carl Gustaf Recoiless rifle

Snowy multiplayer map seen in early previews:
Port Valdez

UAV scout (RC chopper) with control terminal. RC chopper can be seen over-flying the Abrams column in the beta trailer. GVD has stated that this feature is not yet final.

According to a Kotaku preview: "And, more subtly, an engineer with a drill can poke a hole in a wall and then shoot through it"

Re: BC2 Facts/Details thread

I like the anti spawn killing delay:),I cannot stand people who spawn kill.There is no honour in it just a cheap exploit i think.

[Roberts91]

Re: BC2 Facts/Details thread

You might wanna add this to the list.


Quote from DICE "The 40mm GL has 3 different types of rounds. You get the standard High Explosive round by default. There's also a smoke grenade, and another type I think you'll like"

So smoke grenades are confirmed
