and... how was it?

it was awesome. graphics are brutal compared to what im used to on pc (jaggies!) but the game is really fun. ive been determined to get better guns ever since i was dominated by a high lvl player who had a much better gun.

 

[Sadaiyappan]

Thanks for the info...do you mind my asking where you saw that info? Was it scrolling on the screen in the Beta?

It seems a few of you are involved in the PS3 beta. If you can help me out for a few minutes, it would be appreciated.

I have a FAQ for BFBC2 in the PC Gaming forum: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2020118

On another internet forum, someone posted a link to an older version of my graphic showing all the available weapons and specs. Subsequent comments indicated that I may have incorrectly labelled the primary and secondary weapons (what's the difference?). Also, they seemed to say each of the specs were assigned on one of the three available "slots". Can you help me label them correctly?

PM me if you are interested in helping.

Or, it would also be appreciated if you could just peruse it and offer any corrections or suggestions, based on your experiences. Thanks for any help you can offer!

The graphics look better than BF:BC, but still look like they're missing some textures.

The grenade tossing needs some work. It looks like you're throwing a balloon; it floats through the air. I also wish your character can carry more than just one grenade.

The M24 is a little wacky when it comes to the reloading. After each shot you have to release the zoom button for the reload animation to kick in. You then have to press zoom again. I don't think it worked that way in BF:BC. I think it was automatic after each shot.

The sniper rifles seem to be underpowered. Two shots to the chest with a QBU-88 and the tango survives? Right.

Assault is a decent class. No real complaints there. I haven't played medic, but it looks to be good with that MG.

The new building destruction is cool. After so much damage, the building collapses and all of the individual building pieces stack up on top of each other. I used that to my advantage during on game by climbing to the top and finding a little hidey-hole to squat in and popping off unsuspecting tangos.

Kill cams? Fucking kill cams?! I was looking forward to this game. Not now. Pass.

I can't figure out how to use the health packs that people drop, how do you do use them?

Stand over them when you are hurt, I think. The game has regenerating health so the health packs are only good when you are injured and are in imminent danger of being killed.

regenerating health.....oh man, that sucks....

 

[coreyb]

its so easy to die so its not really a problem.

It's not like most games. If you're seriously hurt, you'll stay that way for a good while. THEN it starts to regenerate, which is also pretty slow compared to most games.
