Don’t mistakenly judge this against BF2:MC, that was very poor and compeltely unrelated in game expereience to BF2 on the PC. Anyone who played BF2 on the PC and watches the video trailers of the game play for this game is going to get pretty excited. Although limited to 24 players (not 64 like PC) it seems to have the same level of detail/ submersion by the looks of it. I do hope it delivers as BF2 on the PC is still the game candle to which I hold most military online shooters.
Fingers crossed here….

EA - half-arsed shite as usual. Don’t bother EA. Just don’t bother. Go peddle your wares someplace else.

It’s an EA release so no thanks. Even though they ‘backed down’ over the weapons DLC I’m still not interested. EA can kiss my arse! Besides… my experience in Battlefield 2: MC led me to question the whole idea of ‘team based’ warfare games…. BF2:MC on X360 was full of individuals who wouldn’t know a team mate even after being fragged by one! Does the PS3 suffer from this too?

Meh. Looks a bit like CoD and a bit like Warhawk. I don’t like to pre-judge, but really, what’s the point in another game like this?

No news from Playstation Day?? top work from the ’semi-official blog’ once again… being a european gamer sucks balls, even the US playstation blog contains more news about Playstation Day than this blog and they’re over the pond…

on topic Battlefield looks nice but its a really oversaturated genre so it will have to be really special to convince me to part with my cash!!

Another game from Elecronic Arts to be release on XBox360 and PS3 at the same time. Based on past experiences I predict that the PS3 version will look inferior to the XBox360 version and will have a crappy frame-rate.

The few trailer & “blog” entry videos that have been released over the past months for this title have been worth downloading from the various PlayStation Stores. The original trailer with the voice-over describing two characters as “brothers” was particularly good, especially when the Samuel D. Redford character respondED to the narration. The multiplayer aspect is to support up to 24 players on dedicated servers, and was beta tested on the Xbox 360 between 25 March & 28 April this year by players subscribing to IGN’s ‘FilePlanet’ or by pre-ordering the title at GameStop (US), so at least the online Microsoft platform games should be glitch free.

Check out the site [ FindAllFive.com ] for details of how to unlock specific weapons & to watch/download any of the five weapons videos.

PS. The video footage of “Mirror’s Edge” from the PlayStation Day event (as seen via PS3Fanboy.com hosted on GameVideos.com) is well worth looking at as well (again, another Electronic Arts/Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment [DICE] produced title).

BFN,

@jimmy/tone

Been playing quake wars for PC for god knows how long now

As for Bad Company - hoping it will bring the Red Faction Geomod wonders that I have been waiting so patiently for. All these years not even red faction itself properly lived up to that hype.

I feel it’s only fair to say something about Bad Company - saw this on Gamer TV, it looks pretty sweet - I’d need a demo it see what it’s really made of, there are so many of these sorts of games with us already AND due over this year.

@mobiletone - seconded, Quake Wars is one I’m extra keen on getting my hands on
