Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

It's weird we haven't heard about BF1943 lately!

we have from a tweet which said 1943 won't make it out before BC2. and they hope to package the 2 together if possible.

Get used to it kid, in the real world, work gets stolen from people all the time and other people put their name on it. It's really just how things are. But I will agree that it does make things more organized.

The threads that are closed are done so for a reason. It moves the discussion to one central location (the front page) and the user who posted it is repped and given credit. Hardly stealing work from others just to act like we found it.

Plus, we're already working on finding better ways to centralize discussions without locking/redirecting threads and users.

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

i highly doubt PC version will make the march 3rd date if the PC beta comes out in january/february as they say.

all you guys hoping for march 3rd release on PC are going to be disappointed. it just ain't gonna happen. and they'll use the "we need more time to make a proper PC version" excuse that they've been using for 1943, which is on a half year delay.:shakehead:

My guess is that they're gonna implement as much features as they can into the beta to make sure it works as it should (joysticks, different dx versions for example). Releasing a game with half broken features is never fun.

Well I wasn't really trying to slate anyone, nor did I really mean "Steal" that came out wrong for lack of a better word. I know you guys don't steal peoples work and make it your own. I was just trying to make a point that those things happen everywhere...:thumbsup:

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Great news, though I would like to know more about the squad system on pc. I hope its 6 player squad with spawn only on squad leader.

How will that work? It will only be 16 players per team. Two squads of 6 and one squad of 4? lol

Four squads of 4 sounds more plausible.

Sux that it's 32 limit though. 40 would have been nice...

True, although if they said 40, someone will still have said, "cool, but would have been better if it were 50" :p

Even if it were 128 players, someone would still say it'd be cooler with 256.

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Hmm DX9,10,11 all playing together wonder if there will be some hidden advantage of better lighting and graphics at long distances over those who are using DX9, doubt many are going to be playing on DX10 since vista is so bad.

Actually vista turned out pretty much better then XP, after service pack one. Which was just a year later, XP was horrible until service pack 2, which was what like 3 years after launch. And having played with, and just installed Windows 7, it's not even comparable XP is so outdated. And considering BF2 was the biggest game I know memory wise clocking in at almost 2 full gigs for it's self, the 32-bit limit on memory is going to become a very big bottleneck for PC games in the near future. And XP-64 while possible to use and game with, is a very under supported OS, and not native to 64-bit. And games written for 64-bit and dx10, are clearly more efficient, just try running crysis in xp-32 maxed and then in vista/7 in dx10 maxed,almost the same frame rate very different graphics. World in conflict same thing, and I don't even know if it's native 64-bit, but it definetly uses dx10 well.

Have you seen The dx11 tessellation benchmark from unigine? And the alien model for the upcoming Aliens vs predator game? It makes everything before it look flat and lifeless, and graphics these days already look pretty good. and we haven't even seen what bad company will do with dx10 or 11, and it already looks almost as good as crysis on the PS3.

Whats going to hold back DX10 and 11 isn't XP. It's dx9 and consoles. The videocards in there aren't capable of running anything from these new API's from what I know. Also yes much like XP, dx9 is so established and looks decent and runs easily enough on older hardware. However even if your hardcore about sticking to XP, you aren't sticking with your long in the tooth DX9 graphics card. Even if you had SLI 79xx's or Crossfired 19xx's, you've upgraded to some kind of dx10 card in these last few years.

Rag on vista all you want, you'll be switching to windows 7 soon, and it's just a glorified service pack for vista.

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Whoa.

I just caught this "Play with up to 32 players online in the biggest multiplayer Maps in Battlefield".

Does this mean that some maps won't support 32 players?

No it doesn't mean that some maps wont support 32 players, it means not every server owner will decide to run a 32 man server. Therefore he stated that it's up to 32 which is the limit for the game.

The second part of the sentence "the biggest mp Battlefield maps" means that the game will have maps that are larger then we have seen in previous BF titles.

Yes, it's true. Higher is always better. But 32 is just pretty low. Medal of Honor on my PSP supports up to 32 players...
