Multiplayer is in my opinion complete gash. You spawn, you run around for 8 seconds, you get shot and die, rinse and repeat. You have to hand it to the BF series devs they know how to make a game last. If i wanted to run around dying every second i'd play counter-strike.[/quote] ^^^^^^-------QUOTE QUOTE -----------QUOTE------------------^^^^
The trick is , shoot the people b4 u get killed ,and u wont die in 8 seconds. I can do it and im rubbish at fps games on consoles..



any way.. in my opinion this is one of he best games ever made , the graphics in hd are like playing a fmv,admittedly the single player can be a bit one routed, but i love it .
But i have the xbox version and the online is great when it works but there seems to be a problem some where.Sometimes it works fine and others it either freezes in the lobby or just dosnt let u join games.Ive spoken to a few xbox owners and it seems to be not just me getting this.Any 1 else having these problems?.
Is the ps3 version any better as i might do a trade in if they dont fix it soon?

I last fair while on the multiplayer and that's saying alot lol. Depends on the game type you're playing. Deathmatch, by definition is mental. Go for the team based ones. Domination is team based capture the flag.

I like the way you can custom your guns and get 5 profiles to (possible) create. The big difference in being able to shoot through walls, just because you duck behind one doesn't mean you're invunerable, takes a bit of getting used to....

Also try this, in game enable the console (an option in options) the hit the key above Esc, ` (the back tick) and type in cg_fov and give it the max it can take, hehe

Well he did comment highly on COD4, even though he's an EA employee.

...but I wanted to know (whilst slurping on my can of red bull to wake me up) if BC would be the same in scales of graphics, game play, online gaming, bigger maps (including urban warfare), driveable vehicles, flyable aircraft, destruction on a huge scale, etc. From what I gather, COD4's online maps are small, compared to the current modern combat maps, which is shocking in my opinion, but those on the other site that I visit keep saying COD4 "Rocks" better than Modern Combat ever has; and probably better than Bad Company.

Only thing is, we can't compare COD4 and BC together as it isn't out yet!

CoD4 is kind like CS in a way. The maps are small but there is that much in them you don't really notice the size. One of the MP maps is the one in the single player game where you've to C4 two APC's in the missle yard. The map is only the yard, nothing else. Its tiny but you never notice it.

Man the story is intense, I pretty much don't have to do anything since my AI team pwns everything in sight hahaha

I love Online mode though, it's insane, addictive, and challenging...the level up system feels good.

At the moment a random mixture of HQ/SD/Dom and the odd TDM. We were initally just running HQ, but i found a way to mix game modes without a restart. So for eg you would be playing something like:

HQ vacant
SD map crash
WAR map crossfire
DOM cargoship

and so on...

The server is fully streaming to PBBans as well

It takes so long to find a game and when you finish one you get "server full"

Really? I think it's difficult at first. I've played 2 and a half hours online and am only rank 7.

Great to see the kill cam after then you see they somehow shoot you when they are reloading and somehow kill you when they shot everywhere but you

^^ What are you talking about? Lag maybe?

Also you have to take into acount the wind resistence they put on bullets. Kinda like when you're Cpt. Price in story mode, and have to kill that Ukrainian leader, you have to judge your bullet path also by where the wind is blowing.

But I don't have the problem you do, whenever someone kills me I see them shoot me after in the Killcam...

On a side note, I've been killed like right after respawing, and I've also killed someone that way aswell, jusr respawned right next to them and let the heat go.

I do that all the time on BF2MC. They kill you to capture the flag, so you hit your controller like a demented serial killer on lucozade; respawn right next to them before the flag goes their way, then you let rip in every darn direction, hoping to get lucky and bump them off, before they realise you're next to them, lol.

On another note, I've given into the comments on this site and another on how good the game is and bought the 360 version.
