The new Free to Play Battlefield game is BF2!

[WhipperSnapper]

I used to be pretty skeptical about free games myself until I tried a game I'd never heard of before called Savage 2. It's a free-to-d/l-and-play melee-style FPS game and it's a blast. I play it when my other favorite game doesn't have any online activity since Savage 2 has activity 24/7.

Got my key a few days ago. Pretty meh so far, but it's beta. Lots of lag and stick figures moving around with frozen animations, but when it works its fun. I miss going prone and wish they had taken a more nuanced approach to fixing that problem. Overall it looks ok, but not phenomenally better than BF2. All in all I'd probably rather play the original.

Got emailed a code today, I'll probably try it out after playing BF2 Vietnam.

i'd be more interested if they gave us the 100 player korean version instead of this gimped one

Got in on the beta, but I've yet to play a single game. It just won't connect.

 

[minmaster]

yea it locks up when you try to connect quite often

I guess EA has completely given up on BF 1943 for PC?

 

[minmaster]

they're not commenting on 1943 for PC at the time. everytime it's asked, they say no comment.

i might be wrong, but i think 1943 for PC might be integrated into BF3.

I'm looking forward to giving this a shot. Got my key today, so I have a couple of days before Vietnam comes out. Strange time to give out the key though...I would have played it more if they gave it to me sooner.

EDIT: OK, its pretty bad. As others said its more like Alpha. I had no issues with connecting, but lots of lag, resolution settings dont work. Mouse cursor sometimes going one way while crosshair going in the opposite direction. Its also really slow. Hard to tell the difference between walking and sprinting. RPG rockets have a huge falloff...wont go straight past maybe 30m. Its too bad they dont port the BF2 maps over to BFBC2. It was fun being on Karkland again, although its maybe 2/3 the size of what it originally was.

Key received. Account created. Downloading in progress.

Expectations are not good considering the previous reports.

But free is free - and these "Free" games usually are good time fillers when they work.

It's F2P alright, i've spoiled myself enough with AAA titles nowadays that the F2P games now taste like dog food, bad dog food. BC2 is well worth the $7 and is a lot better than this. Just another pile of scrap that EA puts out to make cash.
