Battlefield Bad Company 2 demo hits on Xbox Live and PSN until 25th February. Players who miss the demo will wait until the full version comes out.
After playing around 3 hours or so, I must conclude that it is a solid multiplayer mode. BBC 2 itself doesn't offer something that we haven't seen before, but they are definitely taking what works from other FPS and blend it into one.
For example: The squad system are from MAG and Battlefield 2. Each squad consist of 4 people and there are 2 Squads each in Sabotage mode. The attacker try to bomb the objectives while defender try to prevent it.
There is class mode that you can choose. Assault, Medic, Engineer, and Recon. When you die, you can spawn directly to your squad mate, which is good and makes squad team close to each other. This obviously they take it from Killzone 2.
Also from previous BBC, there are lots of vehicle to ride and shoot to and can take down a building, it adds a lot of strategy.
And when you combine all the good elements into one, what do you get? A very solid multiplayer game. BBC 2 stands somewhere between MW2 and MAG. It is not as tactical deep as MAG, but it gives more action than it. It is also not as paintball style than MW2, but enough to let you easily flank the enemy and get into some action.
I was deeply impressed by the detail in BBC 2, when there is an explosion near your, your gun will flinch and makes you aiming unstable for a while.
From what I've seen this could be a FPS game that we are going to play for a while. Seems that EA lives up their words that they going to match MW2 success.

The fact is, Squad system is not from MAG, MAG's squad system is from battlefield. "Battlefiled 2" had many of MAG's systems in 2005. but MAG successfully used them in a much bigger game than "Battlefield 2".
ReplyDeleteNote that "battlefield 2" is different than "battlefield Bad Company 2".

*shivers with excitement*
Yes MAG successfully used them in bigger game, and BBC2 should take a note on this one. I never play Battlefield 2, so I experienced squad system the first time in MAG and it truly impressed me.
ReplyDeleteJust got the copy yesterday, maybe will go and see the multiplayer in detail tonight.
