So they have defib paddles in BFBC2

**Exploding_Silver** · 10-25-2009, 08:31 PM

a few random thoughts here,

My estimation is there will not be a commander spot

I think the way the SL will work is that they create the squad and can lay down orders, although spawn is on any squad member

I hope there is SL to SL channel of VOIP

Pre-ordering seems to give you some ''head-start'' items. For me it seems that they're available to all but by pre-ordering you get them at launch:

The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited Edition delivers six special customizations early to give players a day one advantage in multiplayer matches. Four vehicle warfare unlocks will immediately enhance the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 best-in-class online vehicle warfare experience, delivering extra firepower, radar, and armor for the vehicles. Additionally, the tracer dart attaches to any enemy vehicle and allows RPG-toting teammates to track, lock on, and destroy their adversary. Seasoned veterans of Battlefield 1943™ will be able to immediately re-acquaint themselves with two classic and highly powerful weapons, the M1A1 submachine gun and the M1911 pistol.

The full list of six unlocks are as follows:

Four vehicle warfare unlocks

· Improved Vehicle Armor – An up-armor package is mounted on all vehicle types, decreasing the effect of both explosive and penetrating warheads, significantly improving vehicle survivability.

· Supreme Vehicle Firepower – Additional weapon packages are mounted for the driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expanding the range of targets the vehicle can successfully engage and destroy.

· Vehicle Motion Sensor – Use this electronics warfare package to locate enemy units in direct proximity to the vehicle.

· Tracer Dart Pistol – This magnetic dart attaches to any vehicle surface, allowing squad members to track, lock on, and fire rockets onto moving targets even beyond line of sight.

Two classic Battlefield 1943™ weapons

· M1A1 Submachine Gun – Reliable but heavy this classic weapon is a powerful force in the hands of any Battlefield veteran.

· M1911 Pistol – Highly customized M1911 are favored for its dependability and the power of its large .45 caliber round.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available on March 2, 2010 in North America for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, the PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and the PC. The game will be available on March 5, 2010 in Europe.

I'am also very sad that this game (too) will ship to Europe later

, dice you have betrayed us all!

Oh and video featuring em all:

And yes there is somekind of otus clone featured, hope for IDS? Hope not :P

Vehicle Motion Sensor – Use this electronics warfare package to locate enemy units in direct proximity to the vehicle.

Bleh... although a dev doesn't make it sound too bad.

The visual effects for the Tank radar was only to convey how radar would works since showing it in the game makes little sense unless you're playing. How it works is you only see the normal red enemy icons on the mini-map only.

DICE love their wallhacks...

I'm liking the vehicle tracers though, should be fun to shoot an RPG like a javelin - straight up in the air, only for it to land a few miles in the behind of a tank

.

I'm still torn about this game, it seems to be treading that fine line between "mega-awesome game I'm gonna enjoy ruining my RL on" and "unbalanced, horrible, broken mess." Every time I think this game is gonna rock, some disappointing news gets released, then they reveal something awesome, then something disappointing, and the cycle keeps going...

**oniell121** · 10-29-2009, 06:14 PM

Thus far, I've loved everything about this. I'm really looking forward to it.

**DocGuo** · 10-29-2009, 07:02 PM

I can tell you have not played BF:Bad Company...

Their is alot of swearing in that game!!
And a lot of « slackassness » too :¬)

Is it true its gonna be 12v12?

Because that doesn't sound like Battlefield to me.....love a lot of what I'm hearing, but I was not happy when 2142 took it from 32v32 to 24v24. It seems like they're trading the nature and essence of BF for...destroyable buildings and eye candy.

Um... 2142 can run 32v32...

This is the player count for consoles, but...

You may say that this isn’t fair, but it really is and everything balances out (hey, we don’t get a slick Xbox LIVE interface and if I wanted that then I should play the xbox version). If you wanted a more powerful game, you should have bought a more powerful platform, plain and simple.

We still don't know exactly how much it will be. Here's hoping they may be keeping quiet and then come out with a big reveal of 64 players - that would be awesome.

P.S. If I'm getting your hopes up and they eventually get dashed, that's not my fault.

And as Draken said...huh?

That is what I heard on the video linked by Mixa. Three squads of four men each.
