Anyone know how the voice chat will work? Are you forced to be in a squad to talk to your teamates? Or is it open for the whole team?

I didn't hear a soul all night during my sessions. Granted, I never joined any squads, but no lobby system was provided to chat with players on the last map we played on.

 

[GK86]

It's both Squad and Open chat.

Sounds like the same system then Only able to chat when you join a squad.

EDIT:

It's both Squad and Open chat.

How does that work then? If you're in a squad you talk to them, if you're not you talk to all the people on your team that aren't in a squad?

Pretty much.

Squad chat- You could only talk to the other members in their squad(4 people to a squad).

Open chat- Anyone who isn't.

If you are in a squad, and are the squad leader, you could issue simple orders like, attack/defend this point. And you have the added option of spawning near the squad leader.

are you sure there is open chat for all 12?

Yup. Gordon(one of the producers) said so.

Trophy list

Wow... easiest trophies ever? :/

 

[Keyser Soze]

Wow... easiest trophies ever? :/

Best to have easy trophies than to have people constantly playing the game in strange ways to try and get the trophies...

Stuff like Gears of War made me hate any online centric achievements/trophies where to had to do things a certain way with a certain gun

 

[GK86]

Good. Keep the game about team work, and not about the individual working to get his 500th kill with the plane.

Totally agree. I also like tophies/achievement which you will get eventually just by playing the game. But don't make it too ridiculous like playing 10000 games or something like that.

This. Call of Duty series does it right.

 

[GK86]

Battlefield is taking a page out of their book, for the most part. Easy achievements/trophies. And you could unlock Stamps and Postcards. They haven't said anything about that yet. Wonder if we will have to wait until the game hits to find the list.

 

[big_z]

does the game still have the medals and such that bf2 had?

 

[Wowbagger]

Well, sure, trophies shouldn't encourage you to play unproductively, but, surely, the game could have had harder trophies that required you to play properly and help your team.

 

[Kujo]

Any easy achievements are good achievements in my book

I'm just a bit worried about DLC though. I want this because it's a $15 game, don't want it to end up being a $30-$40 game through add-ons.

i hope this is really really true!

Yep, this is what I like too.

Could have used some Achievement/Trophies like:
Played 25 matches
Killed 500 enemies

I'm nervous about this as well. If there is add-on content, I hope it is bundled together and for a reasonable price. Like some new guns and 2 new maps for 400 pts.

 

[Lebron]

Will there be a PSN demo, as well?


Anyway, I'll be getting it for PSN for the time being. I may double dip if my 360 friends jump in later after summer school. I can't wait to have to swim to shore due to people hoping in the boats and taking off without waiting for others :lol

PSN: Blackstyx

 

[ZeMMiK]

Nah, after this we got sept games, then CoD6 and then Bad Company2
After Sept1 this is a dead end. It is just for the summer.

 

[MMaRsu]

Why would it be though.. I mean couldn't they live together? I already know I'm going to love this, just like Neckbeard said, it's going to be awesome just having a great shooter on your HDD with no fucking around with discs and shit. Just jump in ( heh ) and shoot some guys!

ONE MORE DAY WOOHOO

That's probably one of my biggest draws. Also, it being a Battlefield game doesn't hurt either.

This is just one reason why Warhawk is so damn awesome.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

I hope this game will give an incentive to players to buy Bad Company. Very underrated game, online is awesome.

I don't think Bad Company is underrated..

 

[Neckbeard69]

Holy crap, are we still living in a world without BF1943?

Sheesh! Make time go faster!

I know right?

 

[Raiden]

Well im excited, i really loved BF 2 on PC, and never played this, i do know Wake island from the BF 2 port.

Awesomesauce.

 

[Rapping Granny]

Definitely picking this up, Stopped with KZ2 after the shitty patches, and need a new shooter until MW2.

For the love of god, give us the option to toggle sprint, Bad Company almost broke my analogue sticks because of this.

What system are you getting it on?

 

[Raiden]

360, i have more friends with one and i prefer the controller.

 

[Foil]

I've got about $30 on my PSN account right now so I'll probably pick this up after I see some impressions. I enjoyed Bad Company.

Almost? You're lucky. My left analog stick is always tilting up now. Both Killzone 2 and COD4's sprinting ruined it. In order to keep my character still I have to slightly tilt it down otherwise it's always moving forward.

KZ2 has click to run. No need to hold it down nor forward. Best sprint in an FPS. Sucks This will be hold+forward.

Sucks im gonna be helping my friend move from thurs-sat, so Im not sure how much Ill get to play.

Damn, I thought I was the only one with this problem. both my Sixaxis controllers keep getting stuck in the up position now due to prolonged playing of KZ2, COD4 and now Red Faction: Guerrilla. These devs really need to find some other button for sprint because controllers are too expensive for this click the stick to run crap.

 

[Mutagenic]

Perfect timing since I have tomorrow off. Huge fan of the PC series. Picking it up on XBLive.

Is this a real battlefield (like 1942 or battlefield 2) or a shit battlefield (bad company or 2142)?

Nevermind
"There are a few concessions to the design that DICE has made to make the game more accessible to a wider audience. First, each weapon has unlimited ammo. You'll still need to reload, but you won't have to resupply while in the middle of the game. Second, and more significant, players' health will now slowly regenerate during combat. This change will definitely decrease respawns and might actually encourage retreats from battle. It also means there's no more need for the medic class, so it's been cut. "

shit battlefield

 

[DenogginizerOS]

I would rank my favorite Battlefield games as follows: Battlefield 2, Battlefield 1942, Battlefield: Bad Company. Since this game is using the Frostbite engine that is used in BF:BC, it certainly changes the game a lot compared to 1942. Add to that the lack of a medic and only three classes to choose from, it (1943) is definitely different. But I would not call it shitty.

I get what you're saying since I couldn't stand BC. This seems to be a hybrid of the two styles meshed together.

 

[dem]

Changes like not being able to go prone... or unlimited ammo.. are shit.

 

[DenogginizerOS]

LOL at the Battlefield purists! :lol I have played all of them and with the exception of 2142, Vietnam, and Modern Combat, they are my favorite MP games by a long shot. In fact, I played Bad Company 'til almost 1AM last night and still love that game as much as when it came out (if not more).

 

[MrCompletely]

You mean no dolphin diving and less disadvantageous situations?

Battlefield found it's balance between realism and fun, if you want to run out of ammo while lying in the mud, play Arma 2.

Why should I be forced into a disadvantage by running out of ammo if I'm kicking ass with my gun?

Also, for the sake of clarity, you still empty and reload clips, you just have unlimited clips.

Because now there is no use for the awesome support classes. Sad to see them go but considering they are going for a slightly more casual feel with this one I guess it makes sense.

By that logic, you should never run out of ammo in any game, which is asinine.

with a brief time with no clips (think cool down mode) until your ammo becomes available again.

 

[MrCompletely]

Read what I wrote; it's a balance between realism and fun, this element of the game skews more on the 'fun' side.

BF2 was trying too hard to be realistic in many ways, but by the time they got to BC, I think they started to embrace the ridiculousness that happens in BF games. 1943 seems like the culmination of this attitude, feels to me like DICE is adjusting that fun/realism slider to exactly where they want it to be.
