I thought BC2 was March 2010?

jgreen726 · 28 Oct 2009 at 17:19

I cannot wait for this....BF2 is still the staple! :eek:

PistolPete · 28 Oct 2009 at 17:23

They can't seriously expect BF2 to last about 18 months??
It was hard enough getting 1.5 patch out of them (for what it was worth, the server crashers and PID hackers were back in days and the old problems such as glitching into buildings is still there) so keeping it going without further development will be hard.

jakspyder · 28 Oct 2009 at 17:27

well on paper this looks to be a fantastic game! lets hope they can deliver! guess ill have to start saving for DX11 cards

ScarySquirrel · 28 Oct 2009 at 17:28

How old is that feature list? How reliable?

It is fairly old, but it mixed with newer stuff.

the video is the key thing also the fact PC gamer did a spread on it.

BF:BC2 is in march 2010

If they keep the core gameplay the same as BF2, similiar maps, vehicles, weapons but with better graphics/physics, fixed bugs/glitches/hitreg/aiming, they're already 90% of the way there to the best online fps ever.

[TFU] Thegoon84 · 28 Oct 2009 at 17:36

Every1 seems to have forgotten the AMAZING rank system they had.... i hope above all else they keep that the same.

I'm not worried to much about game play as 1943 is spot on! they missed the mark with bad company tbh m8.

ScarySquirrel · 28 Oct 2009 at 17:41

I know BF isn't JUST about infantry combat, but I do hope they fix the hit detection and give the weapons a feeling of proper power. Hope that makes sense.

BoozerDawg · 28 Oct 2009 at 17:47

We do have 1943 and Bad Company 2 to hold us over in 2010 (Bad Company 2 is looking fantastic, absolutely love the weapon sounds).

Some serious tree swaying in that video

Tombstone · 28 Oct 2009 at 18:01

See this is something which irks me about games these days.

Its being released in March 2011 , is that correct? So thats ...what.. almost a year and a half away. Plus whatever development time they have already put into it. Lets be conservative and say they have only done 6 months work on it so far.

So...2 years. 2 years...and all they can provide is 8 ...8 maps. Thats 1 map designed every 3 months. Surely they can provide more than that? 8 maps just seems so few to me.

BoozerDawg · 28 Oct 2009 at 18:07

Rather have 8 quality well thought out maps that everyone plays rather than 20 and people only stick to 1 or 2

I agree, imagine karkand with 2011 goodness!

This game beats MW2 in every way.
