Interesting.

 

40 players per team = interesting, as does battalions.

Hopefully the new 3D engine will resolve some of the nagging little geometry/visual bug issues.

 

Will probably be multi-platform though, we'll no doubt be playing with/against teh Xbox kidz.

Isn't a battalion between 300-1000 troops? =)

unlockable different types of camouflage... sounds nice...

...

will PR incorporate BF3 or move to another platform, I wonder...

Good we can teach the little maggots why a mouse and keyboard pwn! The console users are target practice.

 

I'm really looking forward to this. I have really enjoyed the BF series bugs and all. It's pretty much exactly what I want out of a game. Realistic looking stuff with a bit of an arcady feel. What I'm most excited about is what the mod community will do with it. Forgotten Hope 3 and a new PR with updated graphics and a new physics engine. Does anyone know if this engine supports destructable building and enviromental stuff?

 

I'm really, really looking forward to having a go.

yeah I hate playing xbox dudes on xbox as I suck at the controller.

 

The game better not be 'dumbed down' for console. Dunno how they'd get all the keys (how many does BF2 use - I count at least 26) into console form.

I reckon some of them will be context sensitive, but have no idea as to how it'll be implemented..

Pretty sure buildings are destructable. Have seen the preview for the new game they are bringing out on X360 which uses the same engine this will have.

its going to be cool in Dx10.

It is not in fact Battlefield 3, it is Battlefield: Bad Company on PC. Still gonna buy it though. Probably will be time to get a new system by then too.

As I said in my clan forums;

80 player maps means 60 retards and 20 real players

large amounts of unlocks

it looks like it will turn in to a mix of 2142 and bf2v.... hmmm i hope the game play is good and not just alot of stat padder who get there accounts really really good then can owned every one else on the map by them selfs

“Soldier” feature, looks like MMO-styled characters and avatars

whats MMO- is that the console type build your own look?

(Soldiers with pink mohawks? or 70's styled porn mostaches)

True but thats ok I suppose, just a 10 v 10 with bots filling out the numbers.

 

Bad Company is a single player only game from what I have heard and only available for Xbox.

 

It sounds good but I am surprised that they only increased the player count to 40 per side, I was expecting about 50.

 

I think their idea of a battalion is just multiple squads being stuck together under the command of a 'super' squad leader.

 

I don't really have too much hope for the vanilla version of the game though as BF has been almost the same since 1942, with later versions just having better graphics and more weapons/unlocks/assets/etc. People will still run/jump/prone too fast, it will still take most of a mag to kill someone, Sniper, AT and MG will still be standard kits which means there will be far to many of them on the field. And people will still whore the jets.

 

Though it will make a perfect platform for PR 2 and we can all sit around and talk about how FH 3 is not out yet. :stick:

Damn it I want my Spitfire!!!

 

Edit/// If it wasn't for all the Wake only or Karkand only servers in Australia I'd still play BF2 once in awhile like when I'm drunk.

I would imagine that it might be something like SOLDNER
