Whos pre ordering or will be buying it. I know it doesn't come out till end of the year, but it looks good. Bit of a bf/cod mix. For those of you who haven't seen the trailers

Gonna play the beta (hopefully) and then see. I've heard a rumour that Fileplay/(Multiplay) will be handing out beta keys at some stage and someone did say about the 21st, which of course is tomorrow. However I have not yet been able to make my Multiplay contacts to squeal. They always have been tough nuts to crack.

[Samo]

Do you have to have pre-ordered to play the beta?

[Miller]

At the moment, yes.

[m@ (matt)]

did anyone else get a beta key?

i only got 1 last night but i played for a little while and apart from the usual beta problems (mainly lag etc) it seems really good

[Kal-El]

can you blow buildings up?

[m@ (matt)]

you can blow off bits of building but i haven't seen a building actually destroyed yet (that doesn't mean you cant btw lol)

[Kal-El]

If you can blow them up I might get it! lol

[m@ (matt)]

it feels smoother and far better developed than BFBC does, to me its pretty much what BFBC should have been minus building destruction, and i'm almost certain you can't blow buildings up at least on either of the 2 levels they've let people play on, which is a shame but oh well

oh and tanks are still way to easy to destroy

[Kal-El]

another important question, are there helicopters?

[Jonny]

the importance is over-whelming!

[m@ (matt)]

HAHA well theres no helicopters in the 2 levels they've let us play but i have no idea if there will be

lets hope *crosses fingers*

[Miller]

Fileplay have a new set of Public beta keys. Get them while you still can!

I doubt they will have helicopters or any vehicles for that matter, except for the campaign stuff.

Played it for a couple of hours and i'm not that impressed at the moment. I really only saw the city map which wasn't to good. At the moment a fair few players lag round, probably just dumb ass americans playing on Eurpean servers! or Russians, but oh well!

You cant blow up buildings and you cant really do any type of damage to them but tbh as the maps are small like MW2/CoD4 maps you wouldn't really want the destruction level Bad Company 2 has.

The game feels stiff like Bad Company 2 were you cant strafe run and that as you can only run by pointing your mouse to where you want to go. You also get the brilliant magic bullet were you run behind a building yet end up getting killed like you've been shot through the wall!

The matches are also quite campy. The city map has lots of different objects to hide behind and there really isn't any open spaces.

It just looks like they've copied MW2/CoD4 and whacked it on top of the Frostbite engine and turned destruction 2.0 off and failed! cause it just feels a bit messy. The graphics are pretty good on Medium settings and it looks like its a game ready to be shipped tbh! However it does feel like there are some issues in the foundations. So it needs improving in my eyes, and I hope the other maps are better. Least its just the beta.

[m@ (matt)]

hmm thats odd Miller cause i've had very little lag in game and haven't seen much either, as for vehicles theres tanks already in the multiplayer, which is why i said i wouldn't be surprised to see more.

i agree the City map is not really that great but alot of people seem to really like it and at least you don't get killed as soon as you spawn like COD lol and to be fair once you've learnt it a bit its not really camp, i get alot more kills from not camping. but tbh it sounds like you really need to play the other game set some more mate cause its a helluva lot better and the map is easily as big as the 1's in BFBC although i definitely agree they need more destruction but i hope thats coming seeing as its only beta.

also i've been playing it quite a bit recently and i've got to say the hit detection feels a lot better to me than BF, especially when your firing from the hip in close range which is something thats always annoyed me about BF oh and the machine guns aren't stupidly accurate which is always nice lol
