Anyone played BattleField Online?

[ShadowX8001]

Has anyone played BattleField Online? I don't mean Bf2 multiplayer. I'm talking about the game, Battlefield Online. I found their website and I try to download the game but I get a popup but i can't translate Korean, since the text is in an image, or is uncopyable.I really wanna download it and give it try. If I had to guess, it's probably telling me I have to live in Korean or something to download.

Here is the link. If you click the big START or try to download one of the files, the popup appears.

I haven't played it but I understand it is a pay-per-play model, like a few dollars to use a tank for a week. A bit like Battlefield Heroes except based on BF2. I think you have to be in Korea to play it.

i think you HAVE to be in Korea. but why bother? it's BF2 pretty much with the other side changed to russian.

I'm just really curious about it. Like I wanna see the changes, and be able to compare graphics and stuff. I think it's a little odd, they are just now gettin Bf2. We got BC2

From what I have seen it is basically BF2 using BF2142's engine (which is an updated bf2 engine). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield_Online Apparently it can host 50v50 matches D:

Call the PR devs. They just got new engine to play with.

Thats also likely because Korea has the fastest networking speeds on earth. Corporate speeds here is household speeds there.

That's lame. Why doesn't the US?

North America lags behind the majority of the world in terms of network speeds.

Because major communication companies that first designed the infrastructure still have a lot of money tied up in it. Developing countries can skip the curve the US had to go through and buy the latest stuff, whereas the US is still paying for everything from years ago.

It will improve in the US as well, but its going to take longer because of the investment and we will lag behind because of it.

Yep, thats a great example. You have a new company (like a country) with nothing invested in old, outdated infrastructure. They hop on with the newest stuff they can afford and make this really fast network.

Good find.

... Which means moving over to 2142/updated engine which would lose a lot of players + Doubt DICE would ever give them.
