Multiplayer is great on the bad company games!!!!
I am looking forward to the full game; lag on the demo has been sorted now, server issues

I never played the original BC. Downloaded the BC2 demo yesterday and thought it was ace. Not sure what it is about it but I prefer it to CoD tbh. The fact you actually have an objective as oppose to just having to kill the enemy is good.
I didn't experience any lag btw.
Will buy when it's out.

Liam - totally, its more of a team game and the objective (blow up the whatevers) makes you work as a team with people you don't know
I also think its more free than CoD

Are there any more multiplayer game types instead of just blow these things up or defend them?
Alpinestarhero
01-02-10, 10:25 AM
bad company 1 (obviously lol) - that has two game modes, blow up / defend gold crates, and also capture the flag.
You might like to try Battlefield 1943, which is soley online play only and is capture the flag. Only three maps, and three weapon sets, but stupidly adictive...you'll be going back for headshot after headshot!!!!

Will you be on Wed or Thurs, A* for some .ORG representing?
Alpinestarhero
01-02-10, 11:16 AM
Yes, yes I will.
Together we stand united against the americans / japs (whichever side we're not on) and we will defeat them!
(i'm refering to BF 1943 here, but we can do bad company 2 aswell)
roooaaarrr!!!
anyone else wanna play?

Played a few hours of demo. Not sure I like it.
Controls feel really really stiff - you can't dodge left and right (sidestep) while sprinting which just makes me feel immobile. There's sniper rifles and LMGs but you can't go prone to fire them properly (it also means you can't properly sneak around through all the foliage). There's hardly any feedback when you damage someone or you get damaged (I just shoot and shoot and suddenly get 'Killed an enemy: +50') and the aiming controls feel twitchy which given how powerful the guns are and how accurate you need to be spoils it. Vehicles are fun and I'm enjoying being an engineer like I always did in BF games before, but in all honesty it seems inferior to Frontlines: Fuel of War (and that's what, two years old? Three?)
TBH it seems like a redundant game to me. Medal of Honour: Afghanistan is out at the end of the year (also with multiplayer by DICE) and should fill the Call of Duty/infantry combat niche. Battlefield 3 is in development too and is the proper combined arms soldiers + vehicles game. This seems to be in the middle and doesn't really serve a purpose.
I like it when u get used to the controls and play with the sensitivity it works for me.
5500 points scored last night as a medic i only killed 15 people that round :P
i love it, multiplayer is awesome, maps are huge and the vechiles are always a nice touch.

Had a quick go again last night and was the victim of some major lag, which meant I only got about 6 kills before giving up.
Save for the lag it seems like a great game.

I need a new router.
When I played at the weekend I just plugged th Xbox straight into the modem since nobody else was in, but when folk are in I plug it into the router so they can use the internet.
Been meaning to buy a new router.
Interestingly tough there was no lag for me on 1943.

ISP is Virgin and router is a rather old Netgear jobby.
I'll haev a proper look when I get home tonight.
medic still has to be the best kit, most points, not bad guns, and the paddles!

Alpinestarhero
03-02-10, 08:38 PM
im online now for the next hour or so at least
Jury still out on this one. When going back to MW2, it feels much quicker than BF does and I too have issues with the immobility of running about. Maybe its a little more realistic in that you cant really aim to shoot whilst running but it slows the game down because of it.
Lack of prone doesnt matter a great deal as I rarely snipe but its noticeable. I do like the maps though and the camaraderie and teamwork involved which is much unlike MW2 which seems to be very selfish unless in a team. Will give it a few more hours..
On another note, anyone have a copy of World at War which they want to get rid of?

I didn't do very well in the three or so games I played last night.
I did good in the first game, then I remember you can kill somebody with the heart paddles so I spent the rest of the night chasing people with the paddles.
Alpinestarhero
04-02-10, 09:09 AM
i envisage a game of BC2 where everyone goes around killing with paddles
Loving the demo so far, loved the Battlefield 1943 XBL arcade game too, it's pretty much the same.
add me and we'll have a game! TheVoodooBanana

I won't be online till next week now, but I suggest we have a paddle squad.
I'll be online tonite abit plus trying out the new AvP demo as well!
it's ok can't help thinking they've just stolen the control scheme off killzone 2 though it handle's identically but killzone's better you'd have thought they'd get the mw2 control scheme it's not bad though probably not buy it though avp seem's a lot better demo too me.
metalangel
07-02-10, 02:31 PM
Controls are terrible. LT to accelerate but LB to go backwards in a tank? Why not just let the left stick do it all? Why not just let us define what each button does instead of choosing from the two crappy options (technically four, but the other two are just lefthanded ones)

played avp last night its goof but ill have to decide when the game comes out, bioshock 2 on tuesday that will be immense.
AvP demo is good once u know the controls and how everything works (ie how to find the pred weapons).
It should have a training area first.
On BC2 demo its awesome managed to fly ontop of an UAV and got 82 kills in one match 4.25 K:D ratio woot.
Need more people playing this!
metalangel
09-02-10, 03:13 PM
How does the little UAV helicopter work? It doesn't seem to have any weapons, I just flew around, looked at the enemy, watched an enemy Apache crash trying to shoot me down, got bored, gave up.
I'm pretty sure it has a gun/cannon as I think I have been killed by it
It has 2 weapons right bumper is a little chaingun its very useful and if yer good at flying deadly if people are spotting for u.
The right trigger is a laser guided missile with a reload timer. Its awesome for killing tanks etc just hold down the trigger keep the square on yer target and boom!
An interesting thing i discovered last night with some friends if you have the UAV and theres an enemy chopper, ram it! It may sound daft but you'll destroy the enemy chopper and remain intact yerself.

Oh, that's what that was doing! I wondered what the red box meant.
A lot of folks are commenting that the game has been ruined by the structure of the maps - that Battlefield games should be about a huge open area, but the new maps all seem to be long, claustrophobic ones.
I dont feel that way. I can and do frequently get around the enemy and hit them from behind. It could be slightly more open but in general i dont have issues with the "openess" of the maps.
people will always moan. game is pretty good imo

bioshock what a bag of overrated **** that game is uhh it's arty farty look at the 50's design no it's just a **** unscary boring version of condemned only not as good.
TheOnlyNemesis
10-02-10, 06:10 PM
completely disagree with that, downloaded bioshock 2 last ngiht/this mornin and it is fantastic
how the first game was so boring and unchallenging maybe my expectation's have been set too high with game's but i play a lot and that stunk imo.

10-02-10, 06:26 PM
Bioshock wore out its welcome in the original game... after the twist the final third was extremely tedious, combat was boring, all that Pipe Dream to hack stuff, and the finale was absolutely terrible. In all honesty you could have a pretty complete Bioshock experience by just playing the demo, and pretending that at the end all those GAWD DAMN SPLOICERS break through the glass and kill you.
The sequel is not much beyond a retread.
I just got bioshock 2 and dantes inferno free with my new elite hopefully they are good!! Needed a new hard drive to replace my 20gb one so got an elite for 200quid 2 free games, bargain if u ask me.
TheOnlyNemesis
10-02-10, 06:46 PM
Dantes inferno is the best hack and slash for a long time
yeah dantes inferno actually does a great job impersonating god of war the combat is quality some of the monster's are just plain weird the level design lack's in a few place's but overall i really enjoyed it.
I like bioshock 1, ill have to see what no.2 is like then.

Project Natal is supposed to be out later this year so maybe theyre dropping the cost of Xbox's to meet it.

I have no interest in natal the same way i dont consider the wii a console for proper gamers. I want to play shooters/rpgs whatever with tight controls and good plotlines or intensive mutliplayer.
I dont want to jump about my living room like a crazed monkey pretending to drive or play baseball. Unless i hear outstanding reviews with software to back it up natal is a no go for me. Plus i dont see how you could have accurate controls when yer not holding anything. For example do i emulate a gun by making one with my hand like i did when i was 5?!! No ta.
Rant over!

The demo they showed of Natal controlling Burnout Paradise looked terrible. not to mention your hands would be ready to drop off after holding them in that position for so long (see also: those stupid 'steering wheels' for Mario Kart Wii, and Totemball on the 360)
Besides, why pretend to play sports when you could just go outside and do it for real?

oi i've got a wii it's what i'm using to write this with can't do that on the xbox though it does have a lack of serious game's i'll admit that there are some though resi 4 being the main one that spring's too mind ps3 beat's both of them though as a real gamer's console sony seem too be the only one's willing to go out on a limb too support innovative title's along with the main aa title's.

Its a novelty, a gimmick (tho resi 4 is very good) i dont want to see it affect mainstream gaming. Sadly as the nintendo office is now wallpapered in money that may change :(.
Btw i own a ps3 also and they are great for first party titles its just a shame its so complex to program for so cross platform games are crap (see bayonetta).
true it's more complex too code for however as shown by first party developer's it can be done and too a amazing quality so it's laziness or lack of skill on the developer's part ahem valve lol but you just have too look at game's like uncharted 2 and the upcoming heavy rain the latter would not have been published by anyone else as for the wii it is a novelty and a wasted opportunity at the same time just my opinion the xbox i see as a happy medium.
i have a wii. gf plays it a bit, i just cant be ars*ed most days, no good adult games on it, all for kids

iv got it on the ps3 and i hate it , it doesnt come any where near mw2 , no kill cam so u cant tell how laggy it is, guns feel terrible as well , the mag online beta was even worse i think mw2 has raised the bar so high no one comes close

Personally i found after the intial wow factor mw2 is shallow and pretty crap (not comparing sp here, tho mw2 sp is bad as well).
Akimbo shotties, massively overpowered killstreaks, tiny maps, no teamwork or tactics. Dull. I had nice stats but i cant enjoy it nemore my copies getting traded (£15 quid and i'll post it to someone on the org).
O well to each his own!

The one thing that I like about Battlefield games are the vehicles. I really like tanks and helicopters, but I get the feeling Bad Company is more focused on infantry combat. I also HATE the controls for the tanks in Bad Company.
Ever play Frontlines? Made by the guys who did the Desert Combat mod for BF1942.

Lol I just had an amazing match on BF 1943.
Cant remember which map, but I spawned at one of our flags as a scout... dropped some claymores or whatever they are and waited out of sight for the enemy to stand next to them so I can set them off.
First it's a guy on his own. Then a tank and a dude - also diffed these guys.
Then a tank rolls straight past me without noticing me and about three guys all stand around my bombs as well as the tank. Bye bye.
Went the entire match without firing a single shot and only died once.
So much more fun than running round as an infantry or rifleman
