First impression: Medal of Honor, with a very unpractical Facebook page named BattleLog. FPDR

Refined impression: N/A (TBD)

Dunno if it's from recent public beta, and from what people say most of the bugs are caused by sloppy servers lag, but hey... it's pretty funny neverthless.

Not in english, but hey, image is universal.

[Innomadic 10]

good GOD....what a run and gun twitchy game to be...FFS

Thats why i've converted to Killzone. Seperates the men from the boys.

[ACPL Jon 68]

No KillZone for PC afair.

I forgot to say one thing - I don't know why You people rage so much about "flashy sniper scope". In my opinion, it's a great idea and I'm shocked it took so many years to find such a simple solution to excessive camping\snipers ruling the battlefield.

Surely, I'd rage about it in ArmA series or inside RO 2, but mainstream arena shooters plagued by campers?

[Innomadic 10]

Oh yeah i totally understand that (and in some ways i don't think it would be well received on PC). But for a console shooter in the absence of my broken PC, its brilliant.

If anyones got a PS3, get KZ. Its awesome.

[SD_BOB 10]

I'm going to try the beta just so i can say i at least gave it a go. But my god everything i have seen so far looks utter crap.

There was a point in that last video the guy vaulted off of a roof like a 15+ foot drop and just carried on. Combined with the fact it looks no different than BC2 and has even more stupid things in like the "anti-camping" super sniper glare system. I MEAN COMON.....SERIOUSLY??

[soul_assassin 1750]

good fun. very polished and pretty game. yes there are douche bags playing, but then again there are douche bags playing arma as well. Very fast paced and atmospheric. I recommend it. Haters gonna hate.

It's a brilliant idea, I agree. But the implementation can still suck.

[the_antipop 10]

In love with this so far. Really enjoying it. My rig pumps out a constant 80fps, even on Caspain. Everything Ultra. Awesome.

Remember people, it is a BETA. But I'd hightly recommend people to give it a go. Awesome fun.

For those wondering, Caspian border password is now; shoppingcartsareagoodride

See you all on the battlefield!

[jblackrupert 14]

I thought Ultra is locked out. Thats what it says on the official forum.

after a second game yesterday, when everyone was a lot more coherent, and without the obvious spawn rape campers, things seemed to be a lot better.

From a visual pov of view (lighting and animations particularly), and more to it, the sounds, are brilliant.

If this had dedicated servers and some difficulty leverls, i could host on my server box and play it the way i want it.

[roberthammer 582]

Tryed it more and it lags more than before - do you guys have same issue?

It looks like masive lag - changed to low setting , not helped at all (disabled raw mouse thing , it little helped but still lags) and it got way more bugs than BC2 beta like crashes , screen flashes etc

Maybe i will try that Conquest sometime

I had a few random flashes, yes, nothing i can do about it. Other than that there is no server lag, and performance seems constant on my 6core rig (using amd beta drivers).

No hardcore servers afaik (as i haven't played BC2 - last BF i played was BF2) i wouldn't really know what the differences might be.

Well hardcore mode will be same as in BC2 - i guess

Electronic Arts introduced the follow-up to 2008's "Battlefield: Bad Company" in 2010. Released for the Playstation 3, Xbox 360 and PC, "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" includes a single-player campaign that follows a traditional narrative as well as an online multiplayer mode. Each type of multiplayer game can be played in either "Normal" or "Hardcore" modes. Hardcore mode is intended to give a more realistic simulation of an actual battlefield, and the game is generally less forgiving in a number of areas.

HUD

Much of the onscreen information has been removed in Hardcore mode. There is no longer a crosshair or aiming reticule at the point at which the player's rounds will hit. Aiming can only be done through iron sights and scopes. There is also no mini-map in the corner of the screen that shows positions marked by teammates.

Display

In the Normal game mode, a snipers can "spot" for the other players on his team using his scopes; if a sniper locates an enemy in the distance but is unable to take a shot, he can mark the enemy with an onscreen indicator visible to all the other players on their team. This feature has been disabled in Hardcore mode.

Weapons

Hardcore mode features increased bullet damage from all weapons. Each individual round now subtracts more from the player's health and can penetrate surfaces more effectively. Explosive weapons also have a greater "splash" radius, meaning you will have to get further away from an exploding grenade, mine or rocket to avoid taking damage.

Other Differences

The "Kill-Cam" feature is disabled in Hardcore Mode, so when you are killed by an opponent, there is no "instant replay" showing who shot you and from where. This is supposed to make the game harder by not revealing to player the position of concealed snipers. "Friendly fire" is also enabled in Hardcore mode, meaning your firearm and explosives can injure or kill members of your own team, resulting in a penalty. Again, this is geared toward realism, as someone on a real battlefield would have to be mindful of where each shot went.

[sic-disaster 311]

Anybody knows how to get that damn Battlelog thing working? It's supposed to give me a plugin but no matter what browser i try to use, it's not good enough according to EA... Good job to cock up something so simple.

Trying to reinvent the wheel and ending up with a cubicle.

i remember reading that the devs confirmed dedicated server. where does it say otherwise?

[.kju 3245]

you cannot host them yourself

[jblackrupert 14]

It is dedicated servers but you have the rent them. Server files are not being released

because without the server files they can't make hacks.....

The players with 80+ kills and 2 deaths are just really really good.

camping FTW :p

[Mr. Charles 22]

The beta build seems to be in a bad state compared to the GC build i played.

Killed a few guys running around with their tactical flashlights in broad daylight today ;)

lmao.

[maddogx 13]

Isn't it even possible to host an unranked server yourself? :confused:

Yeah, which for ppl/groups who already own a server, is out of the question.

No server files doesn't mean no cheating either. RO for instance allows users to set their own servers (ranked), and i have yet to see one lad actually cheating...

no, it isn't

[froggyluv 2136]

First time I tried it I shut it off after 3 minutes -having been in Arma's editor 4-5 hours a day the past week, it was stimulation overload.

Gave it another shot and once got the hang of it, holy ***k talk about a visceral experience! Like said, great animations and sound and look foward to some games without nametags everywhere. Is FF server setting cause it seems to be always off (probably a good thing at this stage)?
