Bad Company

so whos getting this? the demo left me a little disapointed with the single player.. but the multi is fun [i will get bored of it though], I' m getting it for the 360 just for you guys!

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

I have this pre-ordered. The MP in this is just incredible, and I have been playing it every night since I downloaded the demo.

Eddie wrote an awesome review of the demo HERE

Most wanted games:

Pre-ordered ..
When is it coming out in Europe ?

I' m still undecided. Like you mentioned, Silent, the single player was a disappointment. Sadly I wasn' t much of a fan of the MP either. I may have to play a bit more online with you guys to see if I can have more fun with it.

I' m getting it to-the-date. That' s the 23rd for me, Canada and possibly Ghost. It' s the 27th for Silent and Pac, and I know Nitro will be getting it as well. Between all of us, we should be able to make some fun of our own, whether it turns out to be any good or not.

Glad you liked the review Canada.

Ascension

A multiplayer map set in a Eastern European mountain village with infantry and light vehicle combat, only one Humvee was available in the beta. One of the smaller maps at 1km x 1km wide. Ascension includes lots of shrubbery and trees for destruction as well as scattered houses throughout the terrain.[18]

Harvest Day

A multiplayer map set in a large open field. This map contains several small villages scattered about, with a small river running through the map. [19]

Oasis

A large multiplayer map set in a Middle Eastern setting. It includes land, air, and sea vehicles. The map has a river running through the center, much of the action in games such as gold rush are concentrated on one side of the maps division. However there are still various buildings and hideouts located on the opposite side of the river. There is limited vegitation in parts of the map however tropical trees are a constant feature.[18]

Valley Run

At the head of a long valley, Russians are expanding and fortifying a dam facility when the US gets wind of the large amounts of gold hidden in the area..[20]

Deconstruction

Water facility captured, the US has a foothold for assaulting the construction area. Girders, pipes, and scaffolding make this a tight, labyrinthine scramble and the fight to take the bridge will be grueling.

Over and Out

Having been pushed out of the plains, the Americans have made off with large amounts of bullion, and are holed up in a captured Russian communication centre.

Final Ignition

The grimy gas facility is in stark contrast to the irrigated town and plantation surrounding it, and the US will have a hard time dislodging the defenders from the fortress like facility

End of the Line
US forces have landed on the windswept plain below the imposing, secluded hilltop monastery, which houses a secret listening station. Before they make their way to the top, they have to get rid of the Russians' vehicle defense.

I' m on the fence. Looks like a great game but I already have more games than I can play. Lately I haven' t felt like gaming too much. If I get it, it will only be under the condition that the multiplayer is epic.

27th ? My retailer told me its coming out here on the 23rd . And Eddie accept my friends request on live . My new tag is NitX .

I will be getting this, so see you on or around the 27th

I' m getting it. I read a review where it gave it 7 but I' m still buying it

I will be getting this. I played the single player demo till i was done with protectiong the intersection or something. Didnt play the multiplayer part (not a mutliplayer fan anyway).

I' ll be getting both versions - probably over the weekend.

I just confirmed it .. I am getting it on the 23rd . Wohoo ..

Awesome to see so many getting this one. Since I only have a 360 for now that will be the version I will be getting.

I really can' t judge the SP since the SP demo was so short, but I have to say once again just how much fun I have been having with the MP. It has put COD4 on my MP shelf.

The only complaint I have so far with the MP is the amount of bullets it takes sometimes to get a guy down (Eddie you were right, at least the snipers have headshots). Other than that the MP in this game is absolutely incredible, and really forces you to work as a team unlike so many other online games (I can see a lot of people turning away from this game because of that fact).

The destructibility of the buildings, fences, doors, and pretty much anything else for that matter adds new depth to the gameplay as well. No longer as a sniper can you hide in a building knowing that only another sniper can get you. Now you can try to hide in a building, but be prepared to have your nice security wall blown the f.uck up in front of you revealing you for all to see and kill.

I am very much looking forward to Bad Company(as you can tell) because like some of you COD4 has become very stale. As soon as they release the next batch of new maps it may make me pick it up again, but until that happens you can see me on Bad Company for quite a while (aka until Brothers in Arms ).

So that' s who that beyotch is...



I just put money down on it, and got a lame pre-order keychain along with a possibly cool 10 round bullpup ingame sniper rifle. I won' t be in town on the 23rd, and I' m switching ISPs (which is why I' m not currently online) so I dunno when I' ll be on to play with you fuckers, at least within the next week or so.

Edit: This is Eddie, and I' m too lazy to sign out of Torr' s account, and copy-paste.

Edit.... Again: GI gave the game a 9.2.

the game looks good, but will be only a side order to the main plate; COD4. I' m still not sick of it... but i dont play it for very long at one time...

looks like everybody with a 360 is getting it, we should make a kikizo room on the weekend its out or something. have you ever done that?

Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!

Fuck it, I might as well get the game too.

EDIT:

[This is just a test.]

fuck ***

DUDES " fuck" isn' t censored anymore!

c u n t still is though

I won' t be getting it. Just another military FPS game. Yay. The only thing this one has that the others don' t is a touch of personality.

I was playing the ps3 demo last night and my god i was getting so mad at it, fucking snipers.

It Also didnt help that my team was a bunch of retards mashing buttons for ice cream.

Fuck

I was playing the demo today with canadagamer and it was fun because people were playing the game right . I cant wait to try out the new maps tomorrow when i get the game ..

It was good to see you on last night 2Pac. Sorry I had to shoot you in your face .

This was supposed to be out yesterday, but my local EB Games told me that they weren' t going to be selling it until today.

Anyway, I like the idea of a Kikizo room this weekend on Bad Company so count me in. We' ll need to get times together obviously, so I will start by letting you know that right now I am on Central Standard Time.

I want it, but i cant afford it

Did you get the job you applied for?

Did you get the job you applied for?

no news yet.

Got an interview for a job in the same range tomorrow.

I just got home with the game. I have to say I feel like an idiot for buying the gold edition. I saw the words " exclusive weapons" and I thought typical of EA, I have to buy the gold edition now. I bring it home and realise after reading the instruction manual (which is paltry) that everyone gets these unlocks at lv 25. I paid 10$ more just to get the weapons early.

Then theres some useless content on the disc, like a documentary and strategy videos.

Oh it also has a small little poster included. That' s useless too. It' s small and it has been folded. When will people learn that NO ONE WANTS A FUCKING FOLDED POSTER!? A poster with creases in it has zero value. Garbage.

Whatever, I' ll be playing tonight.

EDIT:
Quick impression of multiplayer

I don' t like it.

-The controls are crappy, very imprecise. It feels like I' m moving around a boat. It' s the one thing you have to get right, EA butchered them here. I played for a few hours and all I could think was " I wish I was playing COD4" . Part of it is because I' m used to games that control competently, but this truely is horrible. Even the crosshairs are fucked.

-I always had this feeling that the enemy was too far, yet I they managed to kill me anyways. In a good FPS it should be easy for an experience player to gauge his suroundings and understand where the enemy is. Even when you die you should at least know where he was after he killed you. In BBC you can die randomly and have no fucking clue how.

-The filtering makes it hard to focus your eyes, there better be a way to turn it off. It' s excessive and it even hurts the illusion of 3D.

-Respawn system is broken. Not only have I respawned right in front of enemies but infront of bullets and tanks. EA: " You have half a second to live, have fun asshole" .

-Only two game modes! I' m sure EA will charge for the rest of the game.

Look at the bullshit they expect you to do in order to unlock some of the weapons. GTFO EA!

My new theory
EA must hate gamers, that' s why they make this shit, they do it on purpose. They make a game that looks good and has high production values. A beautiful game. Then they shit all over the gameplay just to fuck with us.

I dont have the full version yet but i dont think the controls are as fucked up as you say they are . My only complain is about the number of bullets it takes to kill . I agree that sometimes you spawn right in front of an enemy but thats most often when you choose to spawn with your squad . You can always choose to spawn at the base if you see that the squad is involved in a fire-fight . I guess most of your complaints are because of the fact that you are so used to playing COD4 .

Im considering taking in the crappy Rainbow Six Vegas 2 for this, and putting in a bit of cash.

I preordered the Gold Edition because it cost the same as the normal edition... But I won' t be able to play before I get home from Spain

I agree with all your points, its not the game it could have been.

Thanks for the impressions Agent. That' s the same feeling I was getting from the demo. I wanted this game to be good but it' s an EA game... and yeah...

" Basically, pollute the air all you want, your just speeding up the inevitable. Our future generations are f*cked as it is and there' s really nothing we can do about it. Have a nice day "

I was playing the MP for a while last night until EA' s servers crapped out, but the time I had with the MP was fantastic.

I will agree with what Agent said about the controls to an extent. I don' t think that they make the game unplayable or anything, just that they will take some time to get used to especially if you are coming from playing COD4 all of the time. Once you do get a good feel for the controls, the MP becomes one of the most enjoyable online experiences I have had in recent memory.

I will have to say that Bad Company' s maps shit all over any map that came pre-loaded with COD4, as well as the Variety Map Pack. The sheer size of Bad Company' s maps are perfect for 24 player online play, and I am just hoping that they release more maps on the future that are just as good.

Now comes my favorite part of the game. The destructible environments and buildings. Dice and their Frostbite Engine pretty much delivery on exactly what they set out to do. My only complaint would be that some of the larger rocks on the ground do not crumble or break apart when hit by tanks, mortors, grenades etc. Other than that the destuctibilty is implements very well, looks fantastic, and adds some much needed depth of gameplay not only in the SP but also in the MP. No longer will trees interfere with your view as a sniper sitting atop a roof, as you can just quickly remove that pesky tree and improve your vision right away. Are defenders pissing you off because they are just hiding out in the building with the gold crate? No problem. Grab yourself a grenade launcher, rocket launcher, tank, or helicopter and blow those walls away. This indeed adds depth of gameplay, and will make you change the way you have traditionally played your online multiplayer.

As you can tell I am really enjoying the MP in Bad Company as it is a much needed change from the very stale COD4. I am in no way saying that COD4' s MP is no good, I am just saying that like all great online games it has become stale. Bad Company is a very nice change, and is fun and addicting which at the end of the day is what it' s all about.

Yeah the vehicles are fun and the destrucatable environments are wicked especially impressive in multiplayer. The game isn' t all bad, it does have some good points. It' s technically a great game.

I just can' t believe there are only two game modes, and one of them needs to be downloaded? Where the fuck is team deathmatch? If you want to make a multiplayer game without team deathmatch...don' t. TD is the foundation of every multiplayer FPS, you can' t have an online fps without it.

What were they thinking?
