My thoughts on the game so far:

The game has been alot of fun to play. I played alot of the first game, and 2 seems to be alot more polished, although with its issues. The graphics are amazing, and noticeably different than the last one. Smoke effects are great! The clarity and sharpness on the battlefield seems to be better too. I see alot of comments about only having one grenade, but with the upgrades you get you can pretty much tweak your character loadout any way you choose, to carry more of whatever you need. I would have liked more weapon choices (same weapons as 1!) as newer weapons would give the game a different feel, but I'm not complaining, the gameplay is where it's at, and there's alot of it! The game lets you be invincible if you are good enough! There were many times I either revived a fallen teammate more than once, to go on and claim a match, or just tore up the opposing team, with a tank, or by holding a position effectively, and pretty much felt like a bad mamma jamma. It really does give you alot of satisfaction in playing well. The ability with the new 2.0 engine to destroy buildings to the foundation is yet another way to play! You can take boxes in all the regular ways (Rocket launcher, C4, tank, or placing a charge) and also level the building right on top of the box! Great addition! The different phrases your teammates say (American side for me only, as they are understandable) are really thought out and add a depth to the game. They include such things as telling your teammates you have dropped a medpack, or an enemy was spotted, to the need for antitank. I know the first one included this as well, but they are more diverse here, and when you play it you will see what I mean. I enjoy the fact also that the attacking team gets a UAV or airstrike throughout the game, from A-10's to soften the target as well (You can shoot the UAV out of the sky for +100 points by the way). Too many things that I have experienced to explain as I played this game, and can't wait to play some more! The only thing that I have experienced a dislike in is the Recon class. As with the first game, sometimes when I know it's a headshot, or it should have been a kill, it does not kill them. The bullets should be more powerful or something. Makes the class not even enjoyable for me, although I know others enjoy it. Can't wait till it hits retail! Hopefully by then I will have a new PS3, as the one I play on now has a broken Blu-Ray drive (thank you downloadable games!).

I love it but its impossible to play at 480p, there was a patch for it after it installed, I can only hope for another as its real rough on the eyes.

Glitches and other stuff that should or shouldnt be the way they are



1. Sniper rifle not reloading til you let go of the trigger is convienient for working in sniper teams so you can spot while your parter is take his shot. think it was meant to be this way, not sure though.

2. Alot of the animations are glitchy when you throw the track balls and or grenades it generally just shows a brief flash and your grenade is thrown

3. Every round seems to be a tracer round, in an actual container or ammo only every 5 rounds is tracer it makes it easy to see where sniper fire is coming from.

4. Mortar strike does not always refresh sometimes you have to switch weapons multiple times before it does start to recharge

5. where are the damn full sized choppers

6. Lag occasionally someone will blink across my screen and kill me even though I've unloaded a full magazine into their face ( could be people lag switching not sure if anything can be done to deter lag switchers... )

7. I realize this is a beta but there are some serious rendering issues with some of the textures I.E. Vehicles so on and so forth

I'v played a fair few matches on the beta and I am very excited for the release of the game. I'm loving the building destruction and the UAV. The game looks awesome so far as well, i can honestly say i'v had no lag issues or graphics glitches while playing, the game just looks awesome and the animations are cool. I know one of my mates is having a few problems being kicked out of games every single time he plays not sure if anyone else is experiencing this?

I agree kill cam is bad, and driving the tank it it hard to know what direction ur turret is after a turn or 2 as there is no centre up graphic like say BF1943 vry confusing, as for the graphical errors ill put this down to it being a BETA, but I dont know what above was saying with game smoothness and grenades, But runs smooth on my ps3 and 20meg connection, and I havent seen the grenade glitch yet.


I will get back when i have tested for a week.
But so far looking like a gg and 1 I would happily recommend to friends.

i love the game i think it's pretty real i love the sounds the best. they are amazing. as for the people who don't like the snipers. that's how it is in real life try shooting a bolt action rifle and looking down the scope while reloading. they just wanted realism and once you get the next sniper it's not a problem. That's one of my favorite things about the game that they included that. that's just my thought, i'm not trying to upset people.

as for glitches
1. agree about kill cam that's why i play hardcore on COD
2. better bullet damage with snipers, other guns i have found ok especially the pistol love that, but not over powerd
3. maybe to make it fair put a "battery limit" say maybe 5-10 mins on the uav, cause, including me, people can be up there for the whole game (except when the bases move) but it can be very frustrating be killed by it all the time.
then you could create unlockables for longer time.

I have been playing Beta and sniper damage needs to be increased dramatically to compensate for the slow fire rate. If you don't get a head shot the guy is not going down, and rarely will you get a second shot.

Second, increase the font size or at least give us the option to do so ourselves.

Great Game folks.

Seriously is anyone else having server problems with the beta?!?! I have been trying to finish a match for the last couple hours but keep getting the "Connection lost" message at the main menu. It almost seems that I have bad luck with EA games on the PS3 because I was having the same problem with the first Bad Company. I was never able to finish an online game without "loosing connection." It really sucks because I have never had a problem with any other online game for PS3; Killzone 2, Uncharted 2 (retail and beta), Socom (beta), Resistance 1 & 2 (retail and beta), MAG (beta), MGO (retail and beta), LittleBigPlanet, even BlazBlue I haven't had any connection problems with. I really hope there is a way to fix this problem...

Hi all, when you connect through PS3 and enter game, is this a dedicated server you are playing on set up by EA.
Cheers
