Sym, you can't be that upset over the Beta. It was a TRUE Beta, not what companies have started doing over the past several years, and a demo which they disguise as a beta. Also, that build of the game was finished in late August, giving them nearly 2 whole months of time to continue working [around the clock] on stuff. On top of it all, I saw a list of shit they had already fixed at the end of Beta and it was everything I had complained about/seen complained about, and then some.
Also, what is buggy about Bad Company 2? Maybe it's because I play it on XBOX, but I've experienced several updates for it. Even one a few months ago, which is surprising considering how close to BF3 it was. DICE does care about their customers... notice how they released FREE map packs for Bad Company 2. Think you'll ever see Infinity Ward/Treyarch/Activision do this?
I know I'm sounding like a fanboy, but I'm not; I've bought every CoD game since CoD4. (however, I'm pretty certain I'm done with that franchise)
Yeah I know its a beta and all that...its just that, to be completely honest, even if the game had the graphics of The Witcher 2 I would still find the thing unplayable.
It's horrible through and through. The new class system is horrible, the team spawning is horrible, the maps they chose to get me excited (the train station one and the 64 player bigger one) are to be honest, rubbish, boring, bland, just plainly uninteresting environments - destructive or not.
BFBC2 was massively buggy BUT...it was an AMAZING game. I hate COD games, they are the worst example of an over commercialised gaming industry built solely to satisfy 12 year old boys. BFBC2 is far more adult - but even with that it was bugged out to fuck. No points after death rule springs to mind - with the first YEAR of the game being played and losing thousands and thousands of points because a tank with four people rolled over your landmine just after you took a completely unrelated shot in the head somewhere else. And yeah...I was playing BFBC2 on the xbox 360....
It was things like that, and the team points exploits, the spawn camping, the over abundance of snipers, and the worst of all of them - and this is a problem still evident in the BF3 beta AND bfbc2 - is that you can't under any circumstances, join a game with more than 4 people in it after 23:30pm. Ridiculous.
Avoiding this game like the proverbial plague. Pre-order cancelled a LONG time ago, and am glad I did. Skyrim FTW! Dice, in my opinion, just don't give a fuck. They release "free" map packs that were already on the disk. They incentivised the used game market to buy it new by offering these free maps thereby harming the used game market further (not that this is the only time this has happened, but straw, donkeys, backs). The game modes with BFBC2 were limited and always have been, and most of their new "maps" were just new versions of old maps in different game modes.
They also removed the suicide bomber thing for a while, not sure if they put it back in. But what a great idea, load up an ATV with C4, drive into the enemy base and blow yourself and everyone up around you...it's not like that's not a really clever way of adding a new level into the game. But nah...Dice didn't like that one!
yeah, not impressed unfortunately...I'll for sure, 100% be skipping this game...also the gamepad thing is a pain in the bottom to me, and that issue aint gonna be fixed by anyone. The PC games industry is more than happy to let a massive amount of people fall by the wayside simply because they want a superior quality gaming experience. The amount of people plugging in xbox controllers to their PCs whilst playing games on a 50" plasma TV connected to their PC, is more than anyone really cares to consider. Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people use an xbox gamepad to play PC games. Gamepad only servers would have been nice. But no.
And don't even start me on that abortion that is the battlelog. HTML based web server browsing and partying that doesn't for even a second work properly with an anti-virus installed. Awful.
