Will it be a worthy opponent compared to MW2 or would it just seem pants?

Is there a demo out for it at the minute?

no demos now, they finished, on PS3 yesterday. pc peta is closed. xbox demo gone too, i believe (not having a dogbox, i dont know).

as for being an opponent to MW2, it blows it into the weeds, especially on line.

buy it, best shooter for years. with the best on line I've come across.
 
I play the ps3 beta in January and I though it was awesome, lots of fun!

saying that i havent played MW2...

looking at them both its gonna be BBC2 for me :)

if 1943 is anything to go by, buy it =]
 
Oooh sounds promising!

Whats this business of 'dogbox' raptorrex? You not a fan then? :lol:
 
Im not huge into MW2 as I dont enjoy dieing every 3 seconds but there is a lot of good things about it. I will be playing BC2 on tuesday first thing as my girlfriend works at a video store so I get dibbs. I used to be able to take games home before the release date but the game companies game down on the video stores for doing that.
I have some of the map bonuses sitting here waiting to be used and atleast 1 spare one for anyone that needs it. Its for 360 but I can get a couple PS3 cards too if someone wants one.
Ill let you know what its like on tuesday

It is easier than MW2, you can get more kills/ less deaths but personally I prefer MW2 as it is a harder competition.

The biggest problem I have with it is snipers are 2 shots for a kill (except one for headshots) which is annoying. And also having to scope out to reload the next bullet.
 
It's too easy, I think MW2 is better, it takes more skill, although saying that they've made it too easy, COD 4 is and always will be the best.
 
avoid the PC version of BC2. its aweful, so many bugs.

ive paid £30 for it and havent been able to even play single or multiplayer on it! havent fired a shot!

oh and not to mention, now my cod, battlefiled 2, BF special forces and command and conquer games no longer work. its really screwed my computer up. and yet EA just hide when you have a problem. you cant even ring up and call them a c*** as the ban you!

1943 was awesome :) but I think the main reason why was the price.

BC2 feels too clunky to me, plus I was'nt too impressed with the graphics.

I was expecting it to be a MW2 killer, but I dont think it will be, not for me atleast.
 
Do you not find that sometimes it's impossible not to die on MW2 though.

Maybe you're just good and should just carry on, can't give a great opinion as I haven't played it yet. Just don't want to buy it after so much time on MW2 and be heavily disappointed.
 
BC2 and MW2 in my opinon are two different games entirely.

I've got to about 4th prestige on MW2, played it for months, and loved it. Its completely crazy and I loved running round with the intervention getting point blank kills etc.

But BC2 is so awesome, because its a real team game. I play with friends, and it is far more fun, as you need to work together to win. Yes, its more clunky, yes its not as graphically awesome, but it feels more "realistic" (I use that word losely!), maybe the word I'm looking for is rewarding.

I used to play Battlefield 1942, and vietname etc, and BC2 is a real step in the right direction for making these big open multiplayer games more exciting. Its not a case of respawning miles from the battle with the new squad system, and soldier classes are far more assorted, with extra gadgets.

Although I enjoyed MW2 alot, I think it went abit too far in the killstreak area, and relied very heavily on fast paced action. BC2 relies much more on strategy, positioning, and group tactics. No you cant no scope with a sniper rifle while jumping, you can't throwing knife a guy for 1st blood, but you can have alot of fun =)

As for the singleplayer, dont bother. Its definitely a multiplayer only game, the singleplayer is boring at best. MW2 does win here.

lol, yeah. you need "Top Recommended" spec to even run this game on pc. as for "messin up" your computer. its, usually caused by the machine not being up to the job. as opposed to the game being a problem. but, i just gave up and bought a PS3.

BFBC2 has changed from the beta. its as smooth as 43, or any game, both on-line and on PS3. and it has turned out the be a "proper" COD killer. things like free maps, and upgrades, FOREVER (according to DICE). just add to its charm. you do need a 10+mb bb connection though. it limps with a Vermin 10mb connection, but fly's on my 20mb.
I've played all the COD, on PC. fine games! they pale against BFBC2.
if this sort of game is "your Bag", you wont spend a better £40.

only real warning is, make sure your LCD has a Big contrast range. 30000 or more. 10000 leaves you blind in dark areas.
