Bad Company 2

[Dan Vito Corleone]

This on anyone elses list?

 

After the fun of Battlefield 1943 I will be getting this at some point purely for the online. It's way more expansive than MW2, it offers something that little bit different I reckon.

Just watched this and think I'll wait to see what it plays like if a demo is released.

Battlefield Bad Company on the Xbox was a very enjoyable game but I always found myself going back to COD 4 because I felt bad companies online let it down. The multiplayer games tended to be laggy and the variety of game types was disappointing. However, the graphics, gameplay, SFX and everything else was superb. If MP was to improve then this is surely a contender for game of the year.

 

Games to get this year: Bad Company, Red Dead Redemption and Arkham Asylum 2. The list keeps growing!

I'm quite looking forward to the new Medal Of Honor (Honour), that is due for release later this year.

Thats some awful voice acting right there (on the first video)

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Medal of Honour should be the biggest challenge to MW2 I'd say.

 

Incidentally, 2 leading employees at Infinity Ward were sacked this morning. Adds fuel to the flames that Infinity Ward and COD games are finished.

I thought it was back to Treyarch for the next installment of CoD, and that IW had an agreement in place to do MW3 in 2011.

 

Still, nothing would surprise me, only so much you can squeeze from a franchise like this.

Just checked PSN, I missed the bloody BC2 demo. It ended on the 25th of Feb.

Treyarch are doing this next one, Nam I believe, but what I got told from a reliable enough source was that Infinity Ward aren't happy with Activision as they felt they hadn't given the agreed loyalties, so they were looking at contacting other publishers for MW3, and Activision have hit the roof and enforced some dismissals.They are horrible, RRP upping, shit peripheral producing cunts.

I see. I wonder who has the intellectual rights for the MW series? I'd have thought that Activision would hold the aces in this department?

 

I've heard/read that this years CoD will be set in Nam, there's a website out there somewhere that claims to have the weapons list already, I'll see if I can dig it up.

Above all Dynamite, only EA can take Activision on.

Says it all really.

[RedKnight]

Activision wanted other companies to be able to work on Modern Call of Duty games as well as Infinity Ward, who weren't happy about it.

[Kopite Pete]

When you shot people do they actually die, unlike in COD where they just turn round and knife you.

[Yozzer]

Anyone got this today and is it worth buying. The reviews for it have been excellent as I would have expected.

[Dan Vito Corleone]

Generally in the high 80's review wise.

Infinity ward cod's rule compared to the others, they're probably worried about other companies fucking a good thing up. That said they games make more than movies these days talking about 100's of millions at stake.
