I'm not sure how different the PC beta is, but I downloaded the BC2 demo on my 360. It plays a lot like 1943 and I assume BC1 (haven't played that one). There was only one map, it was snowy and one round an entire team defends while the other has to blow up 2 command centers and then keep moving up 2 at a time. Defense gets infinite tickets while the attacking team is limited the number of tickets. If the attacking team can get to the end and destroy all points before losing all tickets, they win. If the defending team can hold the points and the attacking team runs out of tickets, they win.This is the only map and play type on the 360. It's fun and I like it, but I definitely would like more maps, plus I'd like to edit my controls on the 360 controller to button configurations that aren't available. I know I'd be able to do this on PC.
pc beta is exactly the same (other than being able to edit your controls).Its still better than Bc1 because it doesnt take 3 clips to kill someone.its a very good game. you'll like it on whatever platform you choose. The map from the Ps3 beta was better. Too much white in this map IMO

I'll still likely get the game on PC if I buy it. I just hope my PC can run it.
 
I <3 BBC2 Beta, 360 version had no lag. Switcher and I joined up for two games and all I can say is MW2 is dead to me. A half hour ago I had no expectations and no hype for the game, now March 2 seems like it is crazy far away.

So you are forfeiting? :useless:
 
It seemed relatively easy to get pinned down at certain map points. Needed communication which isn't there in these public games to break out.

I am loving the sound so far. It feels amazingly immersive.

Getting about 45FPS at 1920x1080 on my HD4870 and Core i7 920

I like how there's no kill cam, but you do see who killed you.

I used Fraghaus's free TS server tonight and I gotta tell you, TS 3.0 sounds very nice.

I've unlocked a few guns so far and they all have a good feel.

I've flown the AH-64 but not gunned with it.

I've flown the Blackhawk

Vehicle Main Guns have a very short amount of rounds you can fire without a cooldown. You can't just spam the chain gun on the bradley. You have to really have a good target.

Also, splash damage from vehicle guns seemed really low but I think alot of those are unlocks.

They seemed to have vehicle unlocks a la Call of Duty: World at War, e.g. reload times, turret speed, et al.

I don't know how much I will keep playing this same map over and over. but I want to try to get in a match with friends. I only see two servers in my server list even after a refresh. There is no way to put in an IP address either. They may have done this on purpose.

I noticed alot of people are sniping, which on these maps and game mode is encouraged. Even still, the maps are huge and big enough that even with the linear progression there's plenty of room for flanking.

I'm pleased so far

Never, but I haven't touched MW2 since our last 2v2 match. The game is alright for me. I still like gears better, its just I enjoy bull ####ing with ifbgs more than playing a game I like more solo. But this game, the sounds alone are awesome. Still haven't driven much or sniped, but I dig the medic class.
 
In! No issues, Steam had it all downloaded and installed when I got home from work. Got a knife kill and 5 head shots first full round (probably first time I'll have that ever, heh)

Pretty cool, but won't be on except late night (really early morning) until maybe Monday. I PMed GS, but let me know what Vent/TS you get setup with and I'll get that going, and I'll try and figure out who my teammates are so I have a better chance at avoiding TKs

Looks pretty cool so far, I bumped it to high at 1680x1050 with no lag whatsoever.

Sup fellas... Long time no see... Well this game has got me excited and ready to frag again. I am downloading it now. If you guys want, feel free to use the TS3 server at www.fraghaus.com. Its free!

Server Address: ts3.fraghaus.com default port

If you need Teamspeak 3 it can be downloaded from:

http://www.teamspeak.com/
Holy CRAP!Well, I did get us a Vent server to use. Vent, and this one in particular. is top notch audio. Up to you guys. PM me for the Vent info
Holy crap indeed. When was the last time we had a CNUTZ sighting?
There is no nade spammer like the CNUTZ
LOL! Hey, they but those grenades in a game for a reason right! :lmao:
 
I had alot of lag issues. I pre-ordered the game from Gamestop and downloaded/installed independent from Steam. Gonna try again tonight to see what its like. Hopefully, it will be better.

 
the chopper gunner spot is absurd. Tons of splash damage from what i could see. Ran off like 10 kills in 2 minutes

All infantry weapons need to have damage pumped up. Its way too low

Tried running with some high settings and it was playable (again, rolling with the 2 year old 8800GT). I had some hiccups, but it wasn't terrible.

Agreed. It still takes almost a clip of full auto at close to point blank range to kill.

its really a shame, because it was perfect in the Ps3 betaI guess they toned down damage to compensate for the increased accuracy that comes with shooting with a mouse instead of a controller.

At least its still a BETA and they have time to tweak it.

I'm not gonna lie....i miss all the diferent unlocks from MW2. Adding in diferent scope, barrel (silencer) and grip options would add a lot to this game.

 
I enjoyed the Frostbite engine considerably last night. Being able to destroy cover that the pesky infantry used in the Bradley was :moneybag:

The games did seem to devolve to everyone being either an engineer for anti-armor or sniper, but it's just beta for now. I found a perfect sniper roost in trees in my last game - pulled off like 10 kills without any deaths before we took that base and had to move forward.

 
the other classes are very useful, especially once you unlock some weapons.

much easier to rack up big points with the med-pac and ammo box drops. They both rack up points very fast, especially if you're resupplying/healing your own squad (double points)

edit: and honestly, this map really is poorly designed. Not a fan at all. The para drop in is annoying and all the wind/snow blowing around makes it dificult to shoot.

If you're an attacker, the shark move is to push hard down the left side right off the bat. The right side is too bottled up and you have to blow up 4 or 5 fences/walls to get to the objective.

Really? That good?Going to have to DL the beta then. How do I get it?

I swam all the way to the docks, climbed a ladder, snuck around and started up one of the bombs. I figured no way I could hold this alone, but my squad (I was not the leader) spawned on me and we owned.
 
There is a LOT of potential here. My biggest hurdle is just going to be adjusting to the new gameplay. Just like it was weird going from 1942 to BF2, it will be similar with this one, but nonetheless, this game will almost certainly own. :popcorn:

go to totalbf2.com and follow the links to myinternet services. They have a ton of keys. you could also pre-order the game on steam.I may have an extra beta key (signed up for one last night and got a response). shoot me a pm if you cant get one. I'll give it to you if my brother doesnt need it.edit: if you're playing on the xbox, i think you can just DL the demo from xbox live.

Ah, so it's just a demo and not a BETA. Thought it was kind of late to be having a beta if it's dropping in a month.Yeah, 360. Never got into PC gaming. Too much upgrading and what not for me.
 
Played amazingly well at 1900X1900 with max settings on my i5, 4 GB RAM and GTX 260 last night. That said, still anxious to get my hands on a 5850. :thumbup:

 
I'll be playing this on the 360 as well. I'm going to be downloading the demo. I played BF:BC1 and really liked the multiplayer. It's more stripped down that COD4 or MW2, but I like that. The destructible environment is great as well and adds a degree of realism that MW2 lacks. Also, no Marathon, Lightweight, Car Package monkeys.

 
There is a LOT of potential here. My biggest hurdle is just going to be adjusting to the new gameplay. Just like it was weird going from 1942 to BF2, it will be similar with this one, but nonetheless, this game will almost certainly own. :wub:
Did you play MW2? This is like playing in molasses.Also, is it just me or crouch not a toggle, you have to hold down the crouch key to stay crouched. ADS is a toggle though, so that's good. I am having to re-think all my keyboard commands based on the crouch thing.
 
i notice the crouch thing as well. Very annoying. hopefully that can be fixed.

Also need to figure out where the hell i'm gonna put my knife. i tried it on middle mouse button and that didnt work at all. I had 4 or 5 occasions last night where i mixed up knife-pistol-rifle (used to be 1-3 on the keyboard) and ended up with the wrong weapon.

As much as i dislike actually shooting on the console shooters, switching weapons and moving is much easier.

This is also why I never bothered with PC gaming. It boggles my mind that you guys play these games using a keyboard.

shooting with a mouse is just a million times easier for me. In first person shooters, i might be starting to like the controller better for everything else.

What is ADS?

Agreed about the crouch. I about had my hand seize up on me as I was sniping away. :lol:

Yes, I played MW2 from launch for a few weeks, then said screw it. Too much like Halo for my tastes. Yes, I would also agree that the run is maybe a tad too slow. However, full military gear is also pretty freaking heavy so that might just be realism.

I put mine on F like I did in MW2. G for Grenades.

On the 360, crouch was a toggle. I just wish I could remap the controls so I can spot out with the right stick button or the left bumper (instead of the select button) and have grenades on the right bumper. It was really odd going from the BC2 demo back to MW2 last night. I hate that I'd have to buy the game just to see if it plays well on my PC, but that's pretty well standard for PC gaming. :rolleyes:

You guys need thumb buttons on your mouse.

:blackdot:THose extra 4 buttons are :unsure:
 
i have thumb buttons. I've got the Logitech G9. 2 thumb buttons and a middle button.

However, i like to use one of them for crouch and one for reloading. The middle button (the scroll wheel) isnt the easiest to push so isnt really an option for knifing.

I think i may put reload on the middle button and the R key (you can assign it to both) and just use whatever is convinient. Then i can put knife and crouch on the thumb buttons.

1 button knifing is the suck. I hate that they put that in (although its obviously not the nuissance that it is in Mw2)
