Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

And lag our computers apart? The 32 player limit is for a reason.

I didn't see anywhere that there are technical limitations. Remember that the destruction isn't like Crysis.

It just makes me wonder... why bother upgrade GPUs and CPUs if games these days barely take advantage of them? You can max out (or just about) pretty much every single game with hardware from 06/07.

Btw, even if you didn't have the hardware to play on bigger servers... just remember that you're not required to play on them.

Limit =/= minimum

IIRC the majority couldn't max out BF2/play on the biggest servers when it was first released. And look how much of a success it turned out to be...

So there is planes - which ones? If there's a carpet bomber, we're going to see some beautiful village flattening!

I quoted the info on another forum and had the planes part pointed out to me. I still couldn't see it lol but did eventually. I hope they mean planes as in flyable ones and not just the crappy ai A-10's that are called in by the UAV guy. IF flyable planes are in, then fair play to them.

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

It DOES effect me totally if a game is developed for different player numbers and thus maybe gets altered in a way I don't like, for example to big maps, scaled down destruction due to hardware limitations, less servers for me, less team play oriented gameplay...

It's not THAT easy.

What do you mean? Like, you dont like mods or servers which throw in more players than developers intended?

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

I think there are only choppers and no planes in BC2. You will have to play 1943 to get the planes. I'm sure I saw it in an interview.

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Im all for more players if time is put into it to balance it. Personally I see no point in going for huge numbers when you have designed and balanced a game for 32 players. Adding more people in does not simply make the game experience better or more enjoyable while throwing balance/spawntimes/flag distance out the window. The game is intended to be played a certain way for a reasons..

If people want to play on bigger servers... fine. But the point still remains, the game is still not designed to accommodate them.

25v25 in CoD4 was horrific.

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Looking like some of the PS3 guys have it covered, how about a PC version to play

beta suffers, cos test rocks

Test >> Release? Serious arguments for doing away with beta?

Logic dictates a 2 logic system is less severe than a 3 one

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Apparently those who are worried about the big maps and huge running distance that there currently is for infantry, Dice have something up their sleave but who knows.

I can see it now, Infantry being airdropped into the fight or, or a cable kart there...that would be nice.

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

for those saying 32 players is enough for BC but 64 would be nice to see in bf3.

i'll give that to ya. Maybe you're right.

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

damn right. BF3 minimum 64 (designed) if they can optimise all that destruction

exciting stuff

Its all about choice. Different player numbers = different experience. Ever played Shongua Stalemate with 20 people in a 64 player map? Yeah, I wouldnt like to have the lack of action either.

25 vs 25 people in COD4 is the best method to get your skills sharp

getaway, UT is better than Quake.

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

Been playing the beta a bit on PS3...


Anyone else bothered by the fact that both teams have whatever the hell weapon they feel like? A little too Call of Duty-ish if you ask me.

Gameplay is still good (aside from mass amounts of snipers), but I guess I just prefer my West teams to have Western weapons, and vice versa for East.

Sniper motion mines rather than Eng, Mine. Pffttt :)

Re: Bad Company 2 PC Beta Delayed

The demo will be delayed, the game will be delayed, every BF game has lol. I'm hoping for end of May as that will be BF2's 5 year anniversary.

im pretty sure bf2 was august when i joinned here,as i actually had a copy before release and was told not to go online with it

one thing against 64 players is not more fighting over vehicles,that is if they add enuf

one thing 1942 had ,was enough vehicles for everyone to use:thumbsup:

I am not liking the sounds of this COD tunnel maps,battlefield was never ment to be a COD game god damn it:evil:

i really think a new dice team would be better and one that listens to the community or asks "what do we want"

According to you.

Just look how many people like playing on more than what the maps were designed for... which was like 8v8? 12vs12 maybe?
