• Sniping on BF: BC2

It's probably going to be a lot like sniping in Battlefield Vietnam once actually applied in-game and nerfed through a patch after complaints
There is lot's of bullet drop in the game.
Been thinking about preordering this for a while, and making a squad with a few of my friends. This game good for that, or will we find ourselves spread out across the map, and not really communicating at all like in MW2?
[QUOTE=Lord of Ears;19817364]that's not the worst when you die from fall damage there's a box that says "EPIC FAIL" in all caps at the top right top left*[/QUOTE] Does it really matter?
I love how they just explode when they die
[QUOTE=Chaohord;19823228]I love how they just explode when they die[/QUOTE] What?
[QUOTE=hexpunK;19821996]Consoles aren't that weak[/quote]Yes, they are. mainly Xbawx.[quote] The shader is probably to make it look more like the location it is set, and to make things like textures look correct, if I remember seeing the models without the shader applied, it looked a bit crappy [b](there isn't much detail in the skins, and the models aren't as smooth as they look with the shader).[/b][/quote] That's the goddamn point. They have to use low detail in skins in models, to make poor consoles able to run it. To cover that up, they use the shader. It's not their fault, but the consoles it runs on. [quote] Rendering a wide open map and these models is literally nothing if the engine is coded correctly, if it isn't then the game would run like shit, which it doesn't.[/QUOTE] Actually, that's the most demanding part of rendering. Making it somewhat simple, and covering it up with a shader, is much easier to bear for the renderer. [editline]05:55PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Lucinice;19822913]Does it really matter?[/QUOTE] This. I don't really have to see memes and overused phases, but when I do, it doesn't really bother me.
[QUOTE=JerryK;19823269]What?[/QUOTE] He means the massive amount of blood that comes out.
Mainly Xbox? You know the PS3 and the 360 are nearly the same? You can hardly tell the difference between them in the performance tests. And consoles really aren't that weak.
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;19823348]He means the massive amount of blood that comes out.[/QUOTE] Wasn't that fixed later on?
[QUOTE=johanz;19823574]Wasn't that fixed later on?[/QUOTE] Ya they said they already fixed it.
[QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;19823348]He means the massive amount of blood that comes out.[/QUOTE] I like the massive blood.
[QUOTE=JerryK;19823448]Mainly Xbox? You know the PS3 and the 360 are nearly the same? You can hardly tell the difference between them in the performance tests. And consoles really aren't that weak.[/QUOTE] I didn't really studied the differences between them, but I know that Xbawx has 512 Mb of the main memory. That alone strongly restricts amount of content loaded at once - big maps with lot's of content need to be simple
At the OP's video someone gif that awkward moment at 1:00 (where he turns around to see some random guy behind him) [editline]05:29PM[/editline] [b]stalker![/b]
[QUOTE=JerryK;19823448]Mainly Xbox? You know the PS3 and the 360 are nearly the same? You can hardly tell the difference between them in the performance tests. And consoles really aren't that weak.[/QUOTE] PS3 does some things better than 360 does, like raw processing power while 360 has better memory. They both are shite if they can't run a game without cutting the resolution natively below 720p, when it's below that and stutters below 30fps its pathetic. BC2 looks great though.

Only thing I don't like about this game is the sniping, it doesn't sway, it just stays perfectly still.. which means no challenge for sniping.
The little triangles look fucking dumb.
People the triangles is actually a brilliant idea if you do some research on them. This guy probably may have made sniping seem easy, but it seems to me missing is easy too. I think they should add a sway too it to make it a little more difficult though
So easy, even your kids can do sniping. Maybe it's just because they highlighted the good moments, but snipers look like they're gonna be the worst.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 : Sniper Duty 2 , Modern Sniper insta-kill 2. All servers will consist of 80% snipers, 10% vehicles, and 10% everything else.

[QUOTE=RaDiVaX;19827655]Oh my god, you're a genius! (no)[/QUOTE] I'm just speakin' the truth bro.
[QUOTE=seano12;19827205]Battlefield Bad Company 2 : Sniper Duty 2 , Modern Sniper insta-kill 2. All servers will consist of 80% snipers, 10% vehicles, and 10% everything else.[/QUOTE] More like 50% Snipers, 30% Tanks camping your comm stations and 20% people not killing the fucking tank.
Your forgetting people tking over the uav.
When I played it was mostly 30 % snipers, 25 % assault, 20% engineer and 25% medics Sniping isn't that easy the guy just picks off non-moving snipers while spamming the spot command (Which was fixed after the beta) When I snipe I'm constantly on the move and I try to find the best shot at the enemy and that includes every enemy. Sneaking up on tanks and killing medics that revive your targets. Sure my score may not be 30 kills 1 death 25 headshots, but at least I'm helping my damn team.
What really gets me about this game is the sound. Graphics are great and all, gameplay looks like classic and wonderful BF2. but that sound, it just is so wonderful sounding.
Agreed, all of the sounds improve the feeling of chaos in the game.
