  • News from Community event + Weapon/Equipment list.

    Various bits of news from the event. First and Foremost: Items 1-4 are from a user on the EA Uk forums who was fortunate enough to be able to attend.


    1. 4 Game modes *At launch*: Rush, CQ, Squad DM, and Unknown. All of them can be played normally or in Hard-Core mode. Hard Core will be a ranked mode. There will be no kill cam after deaths, no HUD to speak of, no crosshairs and the amount of damage you can take will be decreased dramatically

    2. You are able to select your fire rate. There is single shot, 3 round burst, and full auto. M16 is 3Rd Burst only, G3 is Single and Automatic.

    3. Choppers are back, Unlike BF2 you have to land an have an Engineer repair them, no hover fixing.

    4. Punk Buster is back as the Anti-Cheat for BC2.

    Un-ranked servers are planned to have a strong Rcon type feature, where we can adjust the settings to fit our needs, and essentially create a competitive config, similar to CoD4 competition.

    Side Note: The game is still considered to be in Pre-Alpha stage.

        Not necessarily. Thats the thing with testing is it can shoot right into beta any time. Saying "pre-alpha" when there are "outsiders" playing the game doesnt mean its "pre-alpha". So I think its a little further along than it seems.

            Hardcore mode, new gametypes and no hover-fix are great!

              Awesome. I like the specialisations a lot, promotes customisation of your kit but without making it as unbalanced/just-plain-stupid as in CoD.

              I like the sound of hardcore mode as well even if increased weapon damage seems unnecessary imo. You already kill very fast with normal damages.

                This is very interesting, hope Hardcore mode doesnt end up being casual mode just like in COD games.

                    Yeah the normal damage seems about right to me,you still kill pretty fast,but the hardcore mode will be intense if done right.

                        The UAV marks them with a red diamond. Who needs a minimap? 3d map FTW.

                            the PS3 beta was an alpha version remember

                            as long as the game has the AUG, I picked that up today (still havent gotten it grr, but some rank 5 guy somehow had it) and its awesome

                            the Russians should have an attack heli as well? Or are they getting raped

                            hrhrhrhr

                            like the landing for repair stuff, sure to piss of a few ground pounders but meh

                              For f sake, I foresee 70% of the servers being Hard Core because it`s "hardcore". Game just got suckier.
