| IllegalPaladin said: I haven't been that interested in it. I enjoy (and still play) Battlefield 2 on the PC and Bad Company kind of felt rather 'meh'. Mainly, I believe I would have had more fun in the demo if this was coming to the PC because a controller is not how I want to experience combat in an area with bullets, explosions, tanks, APC's, cars, tanks, a helicopter, and enemy soldiers all trying to take me out. It still had it's moments of chaos where I'm running to the objective and a tank rolls up to try and take me out. Thinking fast, I run into a building or find other cover like I would normally do in Battlefield 2, but now instead of not being able to touch me, half of the building explodes into chunks and I'm not completely exposed again. The new destructible environments are seemingly cool enough with crap allies and enemies destroying buildings to take out the other team. However, I think the 'awesomeness' of that gets a little lost when you realize that the debris disappears the second it touches the ground. Heck, I was playing in singleplayer and shot at some trees to watch them snap and crash to the ground. This was a cool effect until after shooting the individual branches because then once that last branch was gone, the rest of the tree went AWOL and was suddenly gone. I can see the appeal for destructible environments and how having tons of physics objects interacting can probably wreak havoc on a multiplayer game, but I still think the effect loses its luster quite a bit when that happens. Also, playing Bad Company online made me want to play Battlefield 2 again because while 24 people may seem large for a console game, it's nothing compared to the 64 player servers that Battlefield 2 offers. Heck, Bad Company also loses jets and being able to go prone. However, the sound seems like something that have been improved on. Gunshots and explosions sounded intense and worthy of running away from, but I do have a problem with the fact that the mic system is always on because I spent a whole round hearing the echo of the game from another player's mic and unless I've missed the setting, I can't mute players or turn off hearing other people. I just think that Bad Company feels more like Battlefield 2: Lite. Of course, I haven't played other Battlefields that have come to the consoles and I don't know how this game stacks up to them, but this is just my opinion after playing on the PC. |
ya the online was a joke, R2 will have more player.
