Default gears 2

gears 2 multiplayer sucks. way too over the top with the blood and guts. and terrible matchmaking. and it's just not fun.

not to mention the single player was stupid at times. it went from great to stupid. to good to stupid.

battlefield is much better.

the weapons sound and feel great. just need to add a few more and another 2 maps this fall.

5. That is rather expensive and DICE doesn't have the time or the money to keep pushing new maps out. Imagine if you were a programmer and your employer said "Ok guys we've got a constant deadline! We MUST push out a new complicated Map for both Consoles, Both Modes, and the PC EVERY MONTH. No questions asked!", half the DICE Development team would quit. Not cool.
I agree with whats said here. I was playing the new Brothers In Arms yesterday, and the headshot I pulled off actually made me cringe (slow-mo and all...). Against alien species I have no problem with (Gears...), but seeing something in that detail even on a game is a little too much.

Weapon sounds on this game are excellent. Sniper rounds echo loudly in a building, but in huge valleys ring off, and the same goes for all the other weapons. DICE did a fantastic job on the audio.

A map a month would be difficult, but a couple of maps every quarter wouldn't be. And now I come to think of it, havn't DICE added 8 maps to the game already in little over 5 months?

One thing I really would like to see on the next BC is weather effects. Modern Combat was incredibly atmospheric with it's effects, and I'd like to see a repeat on the next Bad Company, DICE!

I got to say, I'm quite a fan of blood 'n' guts, though not over the top. I think CoD4 had it about right. As you can see, I'm not a 'youth' and I'm not interested in mindless, gratuitous gore, but it really does add another level of immersion when you get that visual stimulation of seeing a team-mate shredded by a weapon.

I've been playing the Killzone 2 beta, and the blood 'n' guts in that is Amazing!!! Really outstanding... Not OTT...

There are many aspects of Bf:Bc that feel too much like an 'Arcade Shooter' IMO... It needs to feel more like... a battlefield.

I'm not knocking it though... Great game.

It is my opinion that some of the weapons could sound better....keep in mind the sounds I am talking about are the sounds that probalbly wouldnt be as accurate as the sounds that are being used in this game. Just a matter of opinion I guess.
Making new maps is what they do ...just asking for more.
Blood and guts. I would say that most games are adding blood for the blood lovers.

I wanted to add one more note. Online play is nearly flawless. It is so nice to be able to get in and out of games with very little down time. It doesnt get much better.

Thanks for the GAME.

Peace

Please for the Love of God, More Maps for Gold Rush. And no more spawning with the jerk on the howitzer, It takes me 10 minutes to run across the damned map, (coz no more vehicles spawn back there eventually) and I usually get sniped by another jerk hanging out two stages behind the fight.

Otherwise Love the Game.

I agree with the spawning issue here. At the minimum you should be able to choose to respawn somewhere near the closest crate that was destroyed at the last base or your squad. It can be disheartening running for two minutes only to get killed as you almost arrive.

Being to careful might not always save you... in case you havent already found out. Thats funny. Not - just the name of the game.

Default For the developers: best wargame game out there!

This might turn into a mini review, but I have to say that after playing the competition, I truly believe Battlefield:Bad Company is the best war fighting simulator out there on consoles. (I would give Battlefield 2142 a nod for I have it on my Mac). I would rank, for PS3, Battlefield: Bad Company #1, followed by Socom: Confrontation, followed by Call of Duty: World at War.
But really, Battlefield is way, way above the others.

Battlefield is the most realistic war-fighting simulator. It transcends first-person shooter. The largeness and layout of the maps allows for, necessitates real strategic thinking and game-play. It isn't just about speed of play, but how you play. Vehicles and destructible buildings makes it the best, too.

A few considerations for future maps, versions of the game:
1. A game mode for PS3 where, like for BF 2142, there is a home base that cannot be captured. Maps where just holding a majority is hard enough. (Maybe I'll just fire up my Mac.)

2. Civilians. negative points to the team if a civilian is shot. They would rush across streets. Get in the soldiers way generally, but have civilians in the "battlefields" since the battlefields are civilian areas. Not many, just a few once in a while. On a road here and there. Fleeing the fighting, etc.

3. Now that there is Par for the course on a golf course, have small details in urban maps like a basketball hoop in a parking lot (destructible). Just for show and realism. Some graffiti here and there.

4. player made games, like nothing but urban maps, or 20 rounds of par for the course. I hope that kind of interface is being worked on, since it's great using it with Battlefield 2142.

Best of luck.

A loyal fan.

Well all in all I like this game I just have one big problem thats been really ****ing me off and thats been the grenade launcher. I mean yeah its good against walls armor and the sort but the launcher vs human is rather bad. There has been countless times espically since ive been going for the launcher trophy that if I were to hit you point blank in the chest or right next to you and the enemy still lives and I die because im reloading. Even though if I were to hit dead on from 10 meters or more sure they go down but at a range closer than 10 it fails. Im sure that its not a dammage problem just a hit location problem because hey if a 203 round blows up on you or 2 feet next to you it spells death not a walk away unharmed so just giving a heads up

actually it's really good vs people, you just have to be good with it...

the radius is small, so be accurate, but if you hit it deal between 75 and 90 damage (depending how close it hits) 1 burst from most rifles will finish them off after that.

I don't know how many times the GL saved my life, I would be down to 3 rounds in my magazine, middle of reloading when an enemy comes around the corner, switch to GL, fire, switch back (still only 3 rounds) and finish them off.

Happened like 5 times in ONE DAY

also, there is no minimum range on the 203's...

its small radius can also be a boon, I have opened walls 5 ft away (and got a kill from an enemy on the other side!) without getting hurt.

Like I said, You have to be accurate with the sucker, but it IS powerful.

Also, it is generally accepted that no 1 shot kills with the GL is a good thing. For one, there is no way in hell they would give us SIX of the things if they were 1 shot capable, second.... n00b tubes are for losers.

and like I said, its not that hard to quick switch back to your rifle to finish them off (or quick switch to GL so someone you just shot can be finished off quickly)

Default I need direction!

Don't know if this had been mentioned yet but how about a compass? It would make alerting squad members to enemy location easier.

Default STATS Issue!

Hi, thanks for all the assistance and thanks for such an amazing game!

Ok, my problem...

I turn on the game and goto Multiplayer and check the stats where mine and my friends are together, my name is showing 5 times now and all show 0 points but my friends points etc are there and their names are as they should be.

Where have my stats gone and why is my name showing 5 times now?

It's fine on this site just not on my PS3.

Thanks, any help on this is appreciated.
Regards
TJSeven

yeah I agree with you that the noob tube is a horrible wep to just run around with but Im not complaining about no 1 hit kills its the hit in the chest and walk away that ****es me off. hitting people i have no problem with but ive been going for that launcher trophy and I mean yeah hit a few feet away and live i can deal with but if I were to hit you in the chest and you live is the thing that makes anyone say "wait a minute how did you live?" thats all im saying

Battlefield badcompany is a great game but there are so many things that could have made it an amazing game. Simple things like being able to lie down, being able to create a class. There should also be another aspect of the game, like a split screen mode. Adding new things every once in a while keeps things exciting, whether its a new weapon or a new map. These things would make the game alot better.

Have to agree 100%+ on the grenade launcher. Hits on chest or head should equal instant death, FULL STOP. Main bugbear is trying to get the damn 6 kills IAR with it, absolute pain. Have been trying for days, all I achieve is mega negative kill/death ratio, tonnes of assist points for my team (who finish the guy off after he kills me after not dying after being hit point blank with grenade). I must look like such an idiot to the opposition who must be laughing at this idiot running around with the grenade launcher all the time. Yup, in normal play it is easy to finish off opponents after grenade fails to kill them... But then you don't get the bl**dy trophy.

One other glitch is the bullet proof nature of the chain link fences. In Final Ignition an opponent and I emptied a clip each at each other with the fence in the way with no ill effects. After blowing the fence with a grenade he was dead in a sec. What gives? I've seen this too on other maps with chain link fences too.

Also wood and corrugated iron do not stop bullets at all (especially not .50 cal), but in the game can be hugely bullet resistant. Can the devs fix this please?

Please fix the situation with the servers ASAP. I have no idea what updates you guys made recently, but they have apparently had a negative affect on some people's ability to connect to the EA servers. For the last 12 hours, I have been unable to connect to the EA servers, and I'd, at the very least, like an official statement about why some of us may be experiencing these problems. I have had zero complaints about this game until today. Please rectify this situation ASAP so that I will be able to continue spreading the praises of this otherwise wonderful game that you guys worked so hard to make. Thanks.

Please fix the freezes, almost every day BF BC is freezing.
Occasionally I am getting a black screen in stead of the map. This heapens when I'm waiting to get spawned again, it also happens when I used my laser dsignator and "fired" the rocket.

if the GL could 1 shot, even with a direct hit, I could use it in CQC far to easily. I would be dropping demo's when they should be dropping me.

It does 90+ damage on a direct hit, seriously, its NOT that hard to switch over and fire a SINGLE BURST to finish them off.

Now that my connection is fixed, I only have one more gripe...

I'm becoming more and more convinced every day that this game is tipped a bit to much in the favor of defenders on Gold Rush mode. It's way to easy to hold a position or protect a crate as long as you have a semi-competent team. I'm not exactly sure how you guys could fix something like this with a patch, but, for the future, just remember to give the offense more options when it comes to assaulting a position.

Otherwise...awesome game. Keep up the good work.

I do wish their was prone but that wont happen.

i know how much easier would it be to hide if i could just lay down and nap a little. Snipers get sleepy waiting for a target.

LOL So true. They even sometimes sleep through the entire battle.
