Most of the maps in BC2 are terrible, some were alright for Conquest. BC2 just wasn't a great Battlefield game.

Guy on the left looked like a fucking zombie.

Hope they actually use all the fancy lighting stuff for MP, doesn't have to be day and night versions of all maps but having early morning/late afternoon versions in addition to the standard midday setting would be good.

I have never bought a game like this....

... but this looks amazing. As long as I get to play both sides. None of this one sided view of contemporary warfare damnit

This is the best looking game from a technical perspective

If this game has a true day and night cycle why wouldn't they have several TOD variants of each map so that every time you play the same map it will be set during a different time of day?

Rush, barf. Although, I won't mind if the rush maps are just retooled Conquest maps and not the other way around. Conquest comes first, jank shit ass Rush should come fourth.

Now we can handle this like some gentlemen, or we can get into some old BINGO shit.

I respectfully disagree with you, Tekno. What are you going to do about that?

Keep telling yourself that, Halo. DICE rewrote the engine for the purpose of not having that.

No way. Conquest is great in BC2. In Rush, players just stand back as a sniper and call in mortar strikes to bring the buildings down housing the crates. All it turned into. Conquest over Rush any day.

I bet if DICE was allowed to speak openly, they would totally say they regret letting EA buy them.

I often forget people care about SP in these kinds of games.

I wish they'd separate the two. SP and MP that is. I'd buy just the MP for a lower price tag.

That wouldn't work, you never want to connect to any server more than 300-400 km away.

Crazy talk. We have GAF servers for lots of games, and they typically are not anywhere near me. usually on the East Coast though, and that's fine.

Hell, the GAF KF server I run isn't even in the same state as me.

Do people seriously expect 100% destructability for every single building, if so you'll be very dissapointed come launch.

TOD = DLC.

Now you can play these maps in other modes even though every normal shooter does this on launch! But we call it free DLC so love us!

In any game with decent hit detection and netcode the difference between a far away server with a large ping and a nearby server with low ping (that also doesn't have 47 isp's between you and it for maximum packet loss) is huge.

There is a reason why people have always spent 25-40 a month on clanservers in cs, so they could enjoy smooth consistent gameplay.

Have you ever even played at a lan party? The difference between that and 100ms of terrible latency is massive.

Our standards differ (a lot) I guess.

Let me clarify my first post: It's a lot more feasible to set up a few 16 player gaf servers for different areas than to try n fill 64 player servers with gaf people local enough to not turn it into a laggy experience.

But hey, it's battlefield, if they manage to deliver something of the same quality as 1942 and bf2 then the game will probably be huge enough on here and have enough legs to maybe keep 3-4 servers semi populated outside of peak hours.

That's a pretty big IF though considering dice's track record this gen.

A good 64 player server does not come cheap, so unless you are able to reap the benifits of that quality server I don't see much draw to invest in it.

Conquest done right is amazing. Rush can get to a point of stale mate with countless deaths dying to campers who are dug in hard and well. Now if that happens on conquest, I'm off to another point where there are no snipers picking me off getting to the point. Conquest always keeps the game moving and fun.

I find conquest tedious. Once you capture a zone and leave, 2 minutes later you need to run back. Rush gives me a feeling of way more an accomplishment as the whole team is defending the parts.

I'll play on anything under a 70ms ping. Living in SoFla you don't have a lot of options. I usually play on servers in Atlanta.

BTW, your post comes off as really douchey.

I'm not sure where he got the idea I was talking about playing on servers that had 150ms pings, as he implied.

<70ms ping is perfectly fine for battlefield-type games.

Have you ever even played at a lan party?

That's douchey. I know it's the Internet and all, but still.

Anyways, back to the topic at hand.

wow.. what? BC2 is still one of the best recent FPS. I'm still playing it everyday, with full games. It just looks amazing. I have no doubts that BF3 will be the next best FPS.

I really hope they release some system requirements soon. I might just have to upgrade something again to get this running the way I want. I know I'll need a new tower or better fans to keep things cool.

I never got the dislike for BC2. The number of servers I see shows that it's popular. I much prefer that style of gameplay over CoD (do enjoy playing BO though). Rush mode keeps things very interesting, especially when sides are set to randomize. Conquest is fun but for me it depends on the map. Conquest game tend to go to long at times. Sometimes I can't finish them if I come in at the start of a new match.

Guessing you must have stopped playing, the last VIP pack gave 4 new maps. Some thing other top tier shooters don't do. While its rivals don't even support their game past post release as there to busy making their next game.

I completely lost faith in Dice's ability to do conquest anymore so I'm fine with Rush in BF3.

Something I don't get. Just use the old maps used in past BF games, people love them. Just bloody make them, take my money!
