Re: Bad Company 2 Information Blowout Plus Screens

From the sounds of things, the destroyable environment is going to be much more advanced than what was in BC1

Show ingame or it didn't happen. This is my policy with DICE.

(anyone remember BF2 promises with 100 players and destroyable terrain?)

I guess it's just that building framework works now as one big destroyable object and can be destroyed with big enough explosive. This doesn't upgrade it to "DESTRUCTION 2.0 WOW! :O".

Terrain destruction is fine though. I love how you can dig your own trench with weapons. DICE PLEASE! include spade/shovel to BC2 I want to dig my own cover or grave...

Building destruction should work something like this:

Re: Bad Company 2 Information Blowout Plus Screens

Did they answer the community Q&A questions yet?

Total Gaming Network did ask the developers TGN community questions about Battlefield Bad Company 2 and 1943, but they gave me a wink saying that they would be covering questions like these at E3 and future months.

figured as much.

They did mention you'll be able to shoot apart cover piece by piece too. I'm not sure if it's shown in the trailer.

This game is getting sexier each time.

Community member, JNK83, has also informed us of even more previews for Bad Company 2 that have just come out. Check out GameSpot, Team Xbox, and Eurogamer for even more coverage!

Here's a nice segment from the Eurogamer article, specifically talking about multiplayer:

But when it comes back to those tanks, and vehicles in general, it didn't take outside intervention to encourage change. "How the vehicles handle is something we weren't happy with in BC1," says Troedsson. "It didn't feel authentic the way they drove." Again, it's hard to prise out any specifics.

One thing DICE is happy to discuss, however, is the multiplayer side of the game. Troedsson calls it "the main focus", even though today's reveal is single-player. "I want to point that out - that multiplayer is really key to what we're doing here, almost to the point that I would say the multiplayer in BC2 is more important than the single-player. This is where we get the longevity of our products, where we see the most dedicated fans, and this is also where we're spending most of our focus in the actual development," he says. He confirms that Bad Company's Gold Rush mode will return, and, although he doesn't explicitly say so, Conquest surely will as well, after fan feedback saw it added to the first game in a patch after release. Any co-operative modes? "We'll see." What I see is a big smile. Busted!

Troedsson and Gustavsson are also keen to get behind player incentives in multiplayer. "What we have done in Battlefield products before has been about giving you all the tools directly the second you jump into the game," says Troedsson. "What we're looking at now is we want to create a system that is much more sticky and can keep the interest of people playing longer, by seeing how we can meddle with denying you some of the things at the beginning and seeing how we can pace it out - actually challenging the player to go out and do something specific in order to get something."

"When we are out playing, we are selfish," adds Gustavsson. "I want to be on top of the list. And you need to recognise that fact. As soon as we started giving people score for healing people [in Battlefield 2], everyone became frickin' Mother Teresa... We're looking at that in Bad Company 2 as well, without going too much into detail. We're looking at how we can re-emphasise some of the team play with scoring incentives." One thing they won't be doing, though, is enforcing it. Squad play will be optional this time, and DICE is also looking at ways to make it easier to hook up with your friends.

Nice Find Whisky.

I think dice would love to do nothing more than make the next Battlefield game, but its just not possible right now. I think Dice will do all they can to cram as much as they can into the pc multiplayer. Their referencing BF2 too much, really looks like their going to be using that as a base for multiplayer.

I love their little comment about medics in BF2.


PR mod has the destruction that was supposed to be in BF2 enabled, lets just say that buildings go from standing to rubble with no in between.
