anyone seen pics of this game yet??

it looks easily as good as COD4!!

Its also out on beta, so is anyone playing it??

i was into bf 1942 big time its still an awesome game today

a whole host are boycotting, due to the fact that EA are gonna charge games £x for the game, then charge more for extras!

And not just for skins etc, but things that actually give an advantage, which imho is unfair, no?

has anyone got a beta code for the 360?

Currently bashing through this, not as good as a pure shooter as C.O.D. 4 but the extra breadth, I.e. vehicles, destroyable scenery, big maps also the different classes that in multiplayer that allow you to score for being good at your classes' vocation rather than the usual kill everything of online multiplayer do make it a good game.

BF2 is unreal, my bro, a friend and I play online at once and it's brilliant!

I'll have to have a look at Bad Company!

Charging for things that give you an advantage is just wrong. If you can unlock them in the game, or pay to have them now... that's borderline.. Hope the hosts can customise their servers to reduce the impact of this on gameplay.

That has so far failed to materialise you can get a new game mode for free if you want but thats it.

BF vietnam was where it was really at!
Tried the x360 demo of BFBC and didn't really get grabbed by it. Frankly, after COD4 everything else has quite the job living up to it.

OK so I wasn't grabbed by the demo but when it came up for £11 or so on HotUKDeals a couple of weeks ago I thought I'd give it a proper chance.
Singleplayer is OK but still doesn't grab me.

However, MP on live is simply staggeringly good. Let me tell you I am a huge fan of COD 4 and 5 and thought nothing could come close to bettering it at MP.
I was wrong. COD has recently lost a lot of lustre for me. I'd been trying to achieve a 2:1 KD ratio and simply found myself becoming bored. The same maps, the same tactics, the same kill locations etc.

When I finally fired Bad Company into MP mode I was stunned. The maps are huge and the breadth of gameplay options makes it a different game every single time.
Basically each huge map is divided into five zones. Each zone has two Gold Crates that must be destroyed which then unlocks the next zone. It's attack and defend.
You can plant/defuse charges (a la DE in CSS) or use conventional attacks. So you might choose to bombard the gold from 300m away in an Abrams tank, which works well until some sniper laser designates you and in comes an LGB (which the sniper guides in it's fall using a missile cam). But when the tell tale beep tells you it's incoming you can pop smoke and race off as fast as the big lumbering beast goes - hopefully the smoke has concealed your actions long enough to deceive the sniper who only has limited steering ability of the LGB.

There's soldier classes - each having merits and different weapons and unlockables. Support is my favourite. You can call in mortar strikes and also repair vehicles and fellow troops/yourself. Also you get a big hefty SAW (o equivalent) to play with.

Add in choppers, jeeps, boats, grenade launchers, wire guided missile launchers and destrucible scenery and it becomes a real blast!
Taking the cannon at the nose of a chopper and it's like Death from Above from COD but in real time, against real players.

The scenery is very detailed and everything can be blown up. House walls, doors. Not one boarded up window cannot be blown out and used as a sniping spot. The levels are just massive and very well designed.

Team play is paramount and I've been surprised to see how many people on 360 are genuinely good team players. There's no trash talking so far and I have to say the experience has been the best to date on the 360.

Now that it's just over ten quid it's got to be worth a punt!!!

This video seems to sum it up perfectly:
