Battlefield : Bad Company Series

Is the only way to get each of those guns exactly what it says? So e.g. I can't get that first gun unless I preorder?

That's crap if that's the case, I remember BF2 being ruined by guys using guns you didn't get with the original game, those with more money than sense had an advantage over everybody else - I remember ClassicD mentioning it as well, it was ridiculous.

Thats a bit shit but i'm still getting it.
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

That's the thing, I don't mind if you can get them when you're level 25 or whatever, but if you can never get e.g. that first one without preordering, and it's a good gun, then that's bad.
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

Some of the Americans who have the game and have the 5 are saying that they're all shite or that they are all surpassed by the guns you can unlock yourself as you rank up anyway.

Seems there are only a few places in the uk you can get the pre order code from as well and EA weren't aware of that - so as the UK pre orders have been screwed up, EA are going to release the guns at a later date as free dlc.

I phoned my gamestation a month ago to pre order and they said they wont take pre orders as they have been allocated a huge stock - when i asked about the codes for the gun they said they've been told nothing and had no idea if they would be giving the guns away with the game like they had with forza and Grid.

I think the 'gold edition' guns will be a bigger problem on release

That's fine then. :)

When BF2 was out, they released an expansion (I forget the name) with new weapons and maps, and those who had it could use the new weapons on the old maps with the people who didn't buy the expansion. And some of the guns were great compared to the standard ones - so those with the standard game were getting killed over and over by the ones who bought the update. It was a bad situation that was never rectified (in the time that I played the game at least), another one of the things that stopped me playing the game.

Really looking forward to this one though, can't wait for Friday.
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

Heads up for tomorrow - This game has a nifty little extra for online play.

If you press up on your D-Pad the game takes a screenshot and uploads it to the EA Bad Company site - just log into your stats and the images should be there for you to share
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

the reason why i say bf bc is nowhere near bf2 level is because its simply a cut down version of bf2. i wont buy this game for £40 for what it is and here are my reasons

  • Cant be a commander and organise different squads to go here and there
  • No custom squads where you can create your own squad and order squad members to perform different tasks
  • lack of fighter jets
  • from what i seen in the demo, maps are too small
  • no warship boats you can control and destroy?
  • finally. only 24 players max in a server. wtf bf2 was 30v30 with minimal lag whilst the 360 version on a 24 player server lags like hell
  • no conquest mode straight out of the box? that's a standard freaking Mode for battlefield!

only thing bf bc has over bf2 is updated graphics and destructible environment.

Stop whining ;))

I for one hate playing games on my PC (Apart from Footy Manager :DD) and you usually have to have a super duper one to run games well - which probably cost at least £1000.

So I am happy with it - I have been playing the demo the last couple of days and I haven't noticed any lag at all (It was lagging over a week ago - but seems to be sorted)

The only thing that they should have implemented was a button you could press to hear the rest of the people on your side - not just your squad.

I haven't played the PC games so it doesn't matter to me.
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

bobby i can bet a load of cash that your current rig can play bf2(3year old game) on its highest settings without any issues :P

you dont need a £1000 pc to play a 3 year old game :D

Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

Jonney moaning about lag oh the Irony :))

and that was on a shitty demo server now its fine

i hope they have added a button (EG up on the D-pad) so you get a message on the screen or radar asking to be picked up and ask for health ect
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

My current rig had no chance at running BF2 - it ran every game i ever played and tried to play up until BF2 came along and then it was a no go area. After that i had the choice of 360 or upgrading the pc so i went with the 360.

You can't really compare this to any previous BF games for a few reasons - it's a totally new engine and designed to be a completely new game using the battlefield name. Think GRID using the Colin McRae engine and using the 'Race Driver' name.

"only thing bf bc has over bf2 is updated graphics and destructible environment."

That'll be why the game is lacking a lot of other features you ask for like gigantic MP maps and jets and more players. 360 players complained about the lag on the demo... imagine the lag with a bigger map and more players... plus you then run into the problem of gigantic maps with players dotted around miles away from each other ala GTA IV.

Did the upload photo thing a few times and cant find them anywhere on the EA BC site as usual.

Unlocked a few trophies which is very cool and reminds me of the achievements popping up every so often in games

Great stuff so far - I'm completely out of my depths at the moment with the new maps. Some are massive compared to the demo map and A LOT of them are heavily in favour of the defending team.

Quick notes

NONE OF THE DEMO UNLOCKKS CARRY OVER

You have to re unlock your guns/extra items again :(

a guy on the xbox live threads says do this for your pictures;

'Go to the bad company website log in then paste this URL into your browser:

http://badcompany.ea.com/myphotos/xbox/Your gamer tag here/

If you have spaces in your gamer tag then add + where the spaces should be: ie. Your+gamer+tag+here.

It looks like it's still kinda under construction but at least now we know where all our pictures go. Enjoy.'
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

Laggy at the moment as they've not got the EU servers running properly yet but should be fine within a few days - when its not laggy its awesome although some maps are heavily in favour of the defending team
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

both versions are laggy has hell. alot worse then the demo's i know this because i went round my mates house to try it on his 360 after getting mine and it was very laggy. i laughed at him and said ha its just like the 360 demo. my ps3 will be better if its anything like the demo :)

went home and played it, wow its just has bad has the 360 one. ice skating all over the place. its not enjoyable atm because of it but i can tell that when tehlag is fixed it will be the best MP game on teh console till fifa 09/PES09 comes out

Well i played for ages and didn't get any lag.
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

there is lag in most games i join,shooting a rocketlauncher does not work properly,you cant stay on a a spot, drifting al over the place,and running has high degree of slowdown,the demo on ps3 was without lag,and now this?
but i believe when they solve this its going to be a great addition to my gamecollection.
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

I've only played 7 games - had 1 that was unplayable due to lag where everything i did would jerk back and forth - 3 or 4 that lagged on and off but were playable and 2/3 that were flawless.

I've ran into a few bugs that DICE haven't fixed yet from the demo as well (spawning in the sky, recon missile screen glitching, error when swapping wepaons where same weapon appears)

I've spotted a few stat/rank whores as well online - in 1 match i spotted a group of 3 huddled around an upturned jeep repairing it - so i called in a mortar strike to take them all out... a few seconds later they respawned and it was like nothing had happened - they just went about re setting up the jeep and repairing it - i ended up getting a mate to come over and snipe them for the rest of the round until they quit just before the end. Very very pathetic.

Deconstruction is fast becoming my most hated map because the defenders have such a huge advantage on it and not enough players know it well enough to form a decent attack on the gold.
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

PS3 servers are back online with bugs fixed - just played for 2 hours and not a single problem

I'm wanting to love it as much as I did the demo but shooting someone 124 times only for them to run off and stab me in the back is getting on my tit to be honest.

And it really needs a kill-cam, sometimes I don't understand how the hell someone killed me.
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

I agree about the lack of consistency with the weapons - I've unloaded almost a full round at someone who has fired back at me with a pistol and taken me out with 3 shots.

The shotguns also have long range abilities which is stupid.

-

I remember them saying they didn't want a kill cam as it would give away the position of the enemy snipers - but at least they could have given us some sort of camera points in the direction you were killed or something to let us know how we died
 
Re: Battlefield: Bad Company (360 / PS3)

yes this game needs a "hardcore" mode similar to cod4. one shot kil please not this emptying my whole mag just to kill ONE person

Pains me to say it but if it carries on I won't keep the game, at least in CoD it's literally a couple of shots, run and gun or otherwise.
