It looks pretty good on my monitor... granted it's down sampled to 720p. This video is a better example, BC2 is 720p anyway.

So how would any of you guys rate this game compared to BF2 on the pc? Is it better, or worse? What parts need improving?

What do you mean? That's a Youtube discussion thread. ;)

Dunno, I don't think many, if any, of the active GSYrs have played the Beta. Reading the reactions on GAF though DICE seem to be onto something very good (never trust GAF hype). The spotting system might need some work, seems way too easy to just spam the button.

I'm waiting for the PC Beta but it's been pushed back to Jan.

Hard for me to say since I haven't played it, but I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that it's not quite that simple. The basic gun play looks great, perhaps better than BF2's, but BF2 probably has (had) better movement and more varied gameplay. Above that, however, BF2 puts more of an emphasis on teamwork and cooperation it seems. Bad Company uses a consolidated jack of all trades approach to classes. There's a bit more depth and variety to BF2, I reckon... but that doesn't mean that this won't be a fun game. Less variety in gameplay, perhaps, but still... good... I hope.

Hey GriftGFX- Did you say that there is health regeneration in this one? If so, that blows major you-know-what. One of the things I liked about BC1 is that it kinda forces you to work as a team, and diversify the classes. Hmm...

Yea, there is... I hear it regens slowly but it's still a bit of a bummer. If they really needed to give every class the ability to go lone wolf, they should have given everyone a morphine injection or something :)

One time use.. ya know.

That's correct.

The shooting is way better on BC2 than BF2. But it's worst on the class department. Missing Spec ops, Support, and the old good Commander.

Hate the Attack class carrying ammo, and giving medics the LMG's, this basically cut the support class. And giving c4 to Sniper, took spec ops out.

The gameplay seems fun, even though it's only one map, after near 30 hours i got bored, and now i only want to test the PC version. The attack/deffend map was fun, but hard to say more, since only 1 mode and 1 map. And still didn't see nothing about air vehicles.

You can Spawn on any alive squad member too. The map is quite big, but since it's objective based to move forward, no more sneak in to the end of the map to capture a flag. Miss the squads splitting and each trying capture distant objectives, hopefully it has big maps like from BF2.

I love the destruction too, no more hiding behind walls, boom!

Personally i enjoyed the beta much, and can't wait for PC version.

Yes, there is health regeneration. And as a medic player, i don't think it's too bad, it recharges quite slow too. I still get lots of points from medic kits, they are still useful.

Do you have a 1080p+ monitor? It looks pretty great to me. Granted the video is pretty heavily compressed and BC2 doesn't look great in 1080p, but their streams are just fine.
I have a 720p and I can tell you the 720p version looks like ass compared to high quality 720p.

EDIT: That video with the dog looks much better.

Ok, here is a good one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7D9cp302yY

Well, the gameplay is average but it's in 1080fuckingp, since when did Youtube become the market leader in terms of quality? Never imagined a day when free internet videos were too hi res for my LCD. I probably should start crying now. :)

fake edit: Just googled it and it seems that it's just been added recently.
looks, plays and sounds amazing. can't wait to take a brake from mw2 small maps and run and gun gameplay.
Posted by LEBATO
1080p? That looks awful, it still look like a streaming video to me, and I've seen better. They can call it 100000p, but at that quality it's meaningless.
it's amazing how you always seem to have something negative to say! dude, it's STREAMING REALTIME 1080p video! you can't possibly expect better than this! it's awesome

Here is a new map and a new mode. Don't really know whenever I like it (hopefully it doesn't become too popular), I just want to play conquest...

yah. but still it looks fun to play with four clan mates :) also, it's good now and again have some innovation, otherwise we'd still be playing CTF.
in fact my favorite mode was for many years conquest, and after playing gold rush with the first BF:BC1 don't want conquest again. personal taste i guess :)

I like the new mode. Looks really fun. I think one big problem with MW2 for me is the modes just aren't all that appealing.

No, but good new modes is great for gamers. A new game with retreat gameplay is called an expansion pack, ala ODST :P

It really depends how the population splits on said modes. Having one mode never hurt BF2.

Is the beta only for pre-orders? I hate Gamestop. I'd rather be forced into buying a month of failplanet.

The system specs were released a while back, and yeah, they're pretty daunting. Hopefully my measly dual core can handle it :P

I'm sure there is a way to get your hands on some codes that doesn't require you to sell your soul to the devil. :)

But it's kinda obvious that Betas these days are more of a way to promote the game with strong word of mouth (a reason for IW to not have a Beta for MW2, because it already had that). The way they are given out doesn't suggest otherwise.

There's going to be a demo on the Xbox 360. Fail.

The squad deathmatch mode sounds a lot more interesting after watching the most recent interview on Gametrailers. I've always been a fan of multi-team modes in FPS, which is an area that remains largely unexplored. Multi-team custom games have always been a lot of fun in Halo, even though I've rarely encountered them in Halo 3. Can you even do multi-team CTF? I seem to recall doing as much in Halo 2 but I could be mistaken.

It also seems like this 4v4v4v4 (or whatever) mode will put a heavy enphasis on infantry combat, something that BF fans have always demanded. The guy in the interview mentions that there's still one more mode to be revealed.
