Like modern warfare 2, its all good marketing. Don't get me wrong the game is good but the hype will die a month after release because it isn't that good.
Red Orchestra: Heroes of Stalingrad though should hopefully be out this year, which will be 'that' good .
They say it's closed, and yet, they give away thousands of free keys for everyone.
Good. What's wrong with the graphics? I agree, not as good as I thought, but not awful...
Strange, yours was the only one not working.
You can hardly call it marketing, when CoD4 was released everyone already fainted of the fact that CoD6 was coming, and all the vids/pics and commercials on tv(!) made us think it was the awesomeness, but it isn't.
For BC2, I havn't seen any big marketing yet, no online ads, no big news, infact, apart from the blog and twitter, I didn't hear a thing from this game.
Also, I had this idea to make like a 'clan' for LFS users. If anyone is interested, or just wants to play with me, add me on msn(on my profile), pm me or add me on xfire ; bose321 (also ingame name).
From what ive encountered so far with only a few rounds of online gaming im not impressed. I mean it is a good game and all but nothing special besides very nice sound wich really gives you a feeling your really there.
Now the videos of the game are really making it coming out way better than it really is... and as always the entire "shooting a weapon" experience is typical BF style(shooting a mag into a person and he still wont die).
It´s a good game and with some tweaks, like less HP it could be exellent. Now MW2 is a really good game that besides the spawnsystem and server selection(or lack of it) system.
I really do hope the beta is misleading and the "real" experience is better
Usually I'm not fan of games like these, first time I tried it, I though, wtf this is crap, but then I was bored and tried again, and now I'm so addicted.
Finally found the .ini to start it in a window (where it works perfectly in to the end of a game which boots me to desktop), but a very solid and quite fun experience... Died more often than I can count, and hit almost nothing out there, but quite fun nonetheless... As in every BF, you have to find a team that can work together or you'll be steamrolled... Thus, public servers probably won't give you the best experience you could have with the game, but something like a LfS-forum game could turn out very entertaining...
I miss prone, but it isn't the showstopper some make it out to be...
@AcesHigh: I wouldn't change the hitpoints of the footmen, but increase damage for the rifles (except snipers) a tad, everything else seems well balanced already...
Myea, i got a bit of money here and im thinking of to buy the game. Pre-order i mean. But i would want to try out the beta tho. I havnt played the game yet, but im addicted to it already
Just buy the game, its great fun even though it has some faults... after playing the game yesterday i agree that HP isnt the problem really... its that regulair weapons dont do enough damage.
Still even though i consider it worth buying i can honestly say its very "hyped" right now and it isn´t that good that it´s got me impressed. I just hope the actual game do blow me away when its released. But if the game is anything like the beta i would say it´s not gonna become GOTY 2010, and if it does! 2010 is gonna be a bad year for computer games.
Is there anyone who would trust me hes account? Just to try the game out, i dont have much money to buy random games so i must be sure about it. Also, im gonna cut my wrists soon if i cant play it
