Customization of the characters is the best feature other than the game being free.

If every character is different, when your looking across the Battlefield, how do you know who is on your side?

I mean, in BF2, name tags don't appear on distant players.

Royal army players can only have a brown-ish look while National army players can only wear black clothes. Still annoying

But you get used to it (it was damn annoying getting used to the 8 different skins in CS 1.6, with the crap graphics that game has)

Anyone who wants to take this guy seriously needs to check this line out-

"No one says that Battlefield: Bad Company's ripping off Call of Duty because it's realistic."

Mhm, last time I checked BFBC Beta videos, it was UT with Molle vests and leather combat shoes.

They are both cel shaded but thats where the similarity ends. Even the colours are different, i would say BF:H has more vibrant colours.

They are not both cel shaded. Team Fortress 2 uses illustrative shading.

True, who cares if it's a slight copy. If it is good, i'll play it :)

Why fix what isn't broken right?

EA/DICE is just geting a ride into the succes of TF2, like it did at ET:Quake Wars and DCon.

They said they were thinking about this since BF1942 was shipped.

Well that's a blatent non-truth there.

I see this just as a back peddle in a website interview. There are similarities between the games graphical style, I think most people have accepted that and are just waiting for the released product, but theres plenty of new non-cartoon world war 2 games such as Company of Heroes that are doing very well, and to say that there are lots of 'realistic' ones is different to saying non-cartoon styled.

But mostly this article just makes me think some people can't take a little bit of comparison, it's not even criticism. We've already seen some DICE people have a good sense of humour as they posted on their own website then Heroes/TF2 photoshop joke.

So yeah, lets just look forward to another game to play, wether it looks realistic like many games before or cartoony like a few games before. :laugh:

Actually, there have been a lot of people on websites, including this one automatically claiming the game will be bad because it's a TF2 rip off. So, like any decent dev company, they gave their own opinion.

Rep for doing it :)

But no we decided we wanted to keep going. The alternative would have been another gritty, realistic WW2 game and everyone's fed up with those.

I beg to differ with that guy here - I think if you look at it - people have been screaming for a bf1942 remake for quite some time. I for one would be all for it. The good old days of bf1942/DC will always be missed.

This forum represents a very small percentage of Battlefield players.

I'm glad they had the balls to try something different!
