BC2 Impressions

So what do you think now the full game is out.

I'm loving iot so far, runs smoother than what the beta did on the same settings too.

One bad thing though it certainly doesnt seem to auto balance the teams, one was getting a hammering for most of the night last night and constantly had a good amount less players than the other.

Oh and Is it just me or do we only have the one mode on our server?

Epic, quite frankly

Single player seems very COD4 (well COD5 for the first mission ) but theres nothing wrong with that. Performance is up 10fold on the beta for me - everything on high at 1080p with that HSAO thing on it runs and looks much better than the beta.

Multiplayer performance is up for me to - no lag spikes and everything feels generally more responsive. Liking the 4 maps I've tried - the vehicle combat is old school battlefield - engies + teamwork are a must on all vehicle maps.

Only annoying things are the plainly awfull server browser search and filter options - they just don't seem to work (including favorites/history) but I'm sure that this is either a bug that will get swiftly fixed or due to EA's servers being overloaded.

Generally very impressed with it - obviously I knew what to expect from the beta but the improvements have been so drastic that it feels like a new game

Agree with everying Munster syas. It really is an epic game if I'm honest.
The maps seem well thought out the destructable buildings add to the variety of every map you play. Weapon balance seems OK although no doubt that will play out more time we spend on it.

An excellently they have sorted the hit ratio out which means where u aim it actually hits. Oh and the M60 for the medic is amazing

Love it so far. It is fast paced without over doing it which I love. The destructible environments are so fun and opens up a lot of more tactical ways of taking a flag. Is it just me or is the sound on this game AMAZING compared to others?

only minus is what other people have said, the server browser and filter options there. another thing that has bothered me a lot in ALL BF games including this one is that it is almost impossible to chat while playing. For some reason you can't chat while waiting to respawn and if anyone writes anything it is gone in 2 seconds.

Last but not least, I LOVE the knife in this game!!

Yeah the sound is very good - DICE wrote thier own sound engine from scratch and the game mixes sound via your CPU without using your soundcard (which is one of the reasons this game NEEDS at least a dual core).

Though what is it with bfb jumping ship all the time. Im in a full squad of bfb, then they all leave and they set up another full squad. then i'm the server with bfb and they all leave and jump ona totally different server....

Just installing now, hope I get more than the 15-20 fps I was getting in the Beta lol...

I really REALLY like it this far. Fell in love with the beta and it's better and better every day.
It's a good thing I have my new gp-card.

Too bad about our server though... there was a guy called something with abbygabb who seemed to cheat all the time..

Only played SP so far, really liked it although it was very short, shorter than MW2. But I want to go back through and get one more collectable weapon and destroy some more COM stations. Thought it performed very well on my rig, I was worried that my GTX260 wouldn't run it at 1920x1200, but I turned off HBAO and put shadows on Low and everything was fine. Will try putting shadows back up to Medium or High later and see what that does.

Will be up for some MP tonight.

Yeah, in general it's cool. However....

1. Server browsing is really p*ssing me off. You can't even add anything to the favorites because it takes ages.

2. Why did they bother to give us all these unlocks in the limited edition? You still need to unlock them if you want some other unlocks. And I unlocked them already after only 3 h of play yesterday. Bullsh*t!

3. Besides it looks and feels more like a console game but other than that it's fine.

Yeah, I have special cheats already. I'll share them with you after I get a bit bored
