Well the gameplay in Bad Company 2 resembles that of Battlefield: Bad Company and takes place in the mountainous regions along the borders of Russia among other places. Bad Company 2 will include locations in snowy mountains, dense jungles and also sandy deserts within both story mode and multiplayer mode.But how much different it will be from the original?

Zedux5271d ago

I had lots of fun playing BF:BC can't wait to play BF2! Specially knowing EA is giving PS3 treatment for the PS3 version!

Saaking5271d ago

I really want to get into the beta. The game is looking like so much fun!

Ziriux5271d ago

Yes, the mountains will still be present, this time a bit more variety of course. I'm hoping to see some new games modes, a nice Team Deathmatch, would make the game pleasant to those who prefer such.

ABizzel15271d ago

His voice made the video boring. It looks very good, not KZ2, but very good. I just have to wait until Nov. 19th and play the game for myself.

StanLee5271d ago

I'm really looking forward to the beta. I think I'm the only person who can't stand Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer. The game is even more imbalanced than the last game.

CyberCam5271d ago (Edited 5271d ago )

I also hate MW2 multiplayer (I'm playing it now because I rented it). I find it way too fast and way too many ways to get easy kills, all you have to do is camp for your kill streaks the get more easy kills with your kill streak reward.

The p2p network code it uses has a second or two delay, which makes the game frustrating as hell... the kill cams will show you that every time.

The good news is that I give it back on the 18th and start playing BFBC2 beta on the 19th!

StanLee5271d ago (Edited 5271d ago )

Where do I begin with my complaints; what's the use of stopping power when each gun kills in 2 or 3 bullets and you remove juggernaut which balanced stopping power, Killstreaks are imbalanced, the game rewards terrible players and doesn't penalize players for deaths, the maps are still imbalanced, the spawn system is still terrible, care packages reward noobs especially paired with Hardline, Scavenger pro means they haven't rectified grenade spam even if they now only give players 1, there is no teamwork or working towards objectives as everyone camps to get to a reward streak, the guns have little or no recoil or sway, what the hell is the point of SMGs since on most maps they're worthless and etc, etc, etc. Fcuking game sucks. You'd think that with all the complaints I suck at the game but my K/D is 3.54. It's impossible to suck at this game IF all you care about is kills and that's exactly what this game encourages.

Ravage275271d ago (Edited 5271d ago )

that is exactly what i was afraid of. I never liked the killstreaks in the 1st MW and IW decision to focus on it completely killed off all interest i had in the game.

While there are undeniably some people in KZ2 MP who only goes for frags and ignores objectives, i'm mostly able to find teams that cooperate(tact throwing spawn points,medics reviving,engnr defending..etc) to win. Search and Destroy,with a good team, is always very enjoyable and intense. Not to mention that it is immensely satisfying when you win against a stronger team with teamwork. Sadly, i rarely encounter this during my experience with COD4 :/

BLuKhaos5271d ago

Like the penguin dude below you said, you're not the only one.Some people like mindless n00b spammage while others like us, love team based tacticle games.Just be happy that they have MW2 to keep them distracted and away from good games.

Well On November 5th, 2009 DICE announced a beta for Bad Company 2. Players will be able to have access to the beta by preordering the game. The PS3 version of the beta will start on November 19, while the PC version will be available in December. So not too long!

Saaking5271d ago

I signed up on player4.de or something like that. Hopefully I'll get one of those keys.

Dark_Vendetta5271d ago (Edited 5271d ago )

Everyone who hasn't got his code yet:
register at 4players.de and go to this site:
http://store.4players.de/2....

Click on "Jetzt vorbestellen" and type in your ID. Few minutes later you'll get an email that you ordered your code. Still 6400 left
Code will be sent the 16th Nov. Beta starts 19.11

Ziriux5271d ago

This is a great game, with great gameplay, big environments and good plot. Unlike MW 2, this game should by getting some hype as well, Battlefield is probably one of the most under rated FPS games out there overshadowed by others such as Halo and Call of Duty.

gameseveryday5271d ago

Multiplayer will allow players to choose from a set of weapon kits before each spawn, the number of which has been further reduced from Bad Company's five down to four: "Assault," "Engineer," "Recon," and "Medic," removing the "Specialist" kit, whose compact assault rifle and C4 abilities have been split between the "Engineer" and "Recon" classes, respectively.

mr mintleaf5271d ago

from playing BF2 (xbox, xbox 360) were parachutes, fast moving jeeps (C4 jihaad purposes), and TEAM WIDE CHAT.

I know I know, ..."play BF2 on the 360 then if you like BF2 so much"... Brothers, I would if I still had a 360. it died for the 3rd time wah wah. I'm now happily gaming on a PS3. Just sayn, that in an attempt to make a new game new, and original to an extent, they eliminated some key elements that made BF2 so friggin fun. Like GTA-style fun.

My point: I hope to see at least parachutes make it back. My other point BC2>any otherr shooter.

Go DICE.

peace

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga57d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics57d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend56d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long57d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons57d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor57d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5256d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60256d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv7257d ago

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor57d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B56d ago (Edited 56d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

EA’s best multiplayer games have now shut down for good

OtterX131d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled131d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa131d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno130d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac130d ago (Edited 130d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast130d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial130d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv72395d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel395d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon394d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim394d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai395d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai395d ago (Edited 395d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341395d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313394d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald394d ago (Edited 394d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra394d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai394d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra394d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade394d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra394d ago (Edited 394d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno395d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz149394d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop394d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb394d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole395d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled394d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
