Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Sup bitches! BFBC2 released officially today. On Steam, the download won't activate until about 1pm EST. I personally am very excited to pwn face.

I will of course continue playing GA, mostly for AvA on Citadel. If you wish to know any details, I'd be happy to provide...

Fuck it, I'm bored. I'm going to provide details.
  • Large(comparatively to say, MW2) scale multiplayer battles on BEAUTIFUL maps that are also quite big. The max people on a server on the PC version is 32 players, to my knowledge. (Fuck yes?) EDIT* As opposed to the limit of 24 players on PS3 and 360.
  • Multiple realistic features:
    • Fully destructible map. That's right. That means that if you plant C4 on the side of a building, that wall is GONEZO. Grenade launchers will blow off the side of a bus. RPG's placed properly may be able to level a small building. If you go to http://www.battlefieldbadcompany2.com/videos and look through them, you will see a few examples. The best evidence of this would be in the video titled: Battlefield Moments Episode 2. Watch this video. It shows a glimpse of the game mode 'Squad Rush.' In this game mode, there are a few points on the map that you must take control of, set an explosive and defend until the sucker blows. The attackers have a limited amount of respawn tickets(75, I believe). The win conditions for the defense is either the timer running out, or burning through all of the attackers tickets.
    • BULLET DROP!!! What does this mean, you ask? Well, Hurf Durf. It means that when you shoot a bullet gravity is applied to it. It also means that you have to lead your target, exactly as you would in real life. If you are a long range sniper, no more of that Halo shoot and insta kill nonsense. On youtube, a good example of this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYyt-puk9a4. As you can see, when he sees a target he first judges the distance and adjusts accordingly. He raises his shot as needed, and leads as needed. This was one of the selling points for me, without a doubt.
  • DX11? Wtf is DX11? This game has the capability of running on DX11, with its soft shadowing and all. A full tutorial of all the PC capabilities that make it wipe the floor with console versions is also on the BFBC2 video page, the video is properly titled: PC Walkthrough. It is also the first video that shows. Very comprehensive capabilities, and it truly lets you utilize your computers capabilities, without limitation. In this video they have said that they 'unlocked FPS,' so if your computer wants to run 200 FPS, by god it's going to run 200 FPS.
  • I can't go too far into the "Video quality" capabilities, but just watching this video and having messed around in the controls on the beta screen(I prepurchased on the 26th, ONE DAY after beta closed lol), I can attest to the fact that it is going to give you exactly what you want to see. They don't just have resolutions, they have multiple of the same resolution size running at different speeds.
  • Getting into the actual gameplay, I am rather limited on information. I will, however, be sure to update once I become more familiar. My knowledge as of now, there are four 'classes' to adequately meet your playing style, they are as follows:
    • Medic: This class focuses on LMG's - RPD, and other big ass guns. Each class has its own 'offhand' or two, and this one has something similar to a med crate(toss it on the ground and it increases recovery of people in it's radius) as well as a reviving system. I can't remember what the hell the things are called, but you'll see them in hospitals. They get a charge, you put em on dude's chest and shock him back to life. Very very cool system.
    • Engineer: This class focuses on SMG's if I'm not mistaken - Uzi, etc. Their secondary weapon is a repair gun. If a tank is damaged, you can actually go up to it and repair it.
    • Assault: Assaults use all your general machine guns. M4A1's, and the like. Their offhand is similar to the med crate, except with ammo. Toss it and people around it can reload once more.
    • Finally, the Recon: If it isn't self explanitory enough, recons are snipers. You snipe people. You blow up things with explosives. That is all. I will be having sex with this class in all likelihood.
This is only a very brief introduction to BFBC2. If you want more information before I know enough to give it, go to their site and look at their videos, they probably have a dozen if not more showing different aspects of the game. Youtube also has a copious amount of wealth, as always. GL&HF! Prepare to rape face!



EDIT* ZOMG 95% downloaded. I'll be sure to fill you in further if new deets come about.
