I hope the sound is as amazing as it was in the first one.

I liked the first Bad Company though I couldn't help but feel lost on the battlefield most of the time.

I heard that this game is using DX11. Is that true?

BC2 is using Frostbite 1.x, and that uses DX10. Frostbite 2, which will be BF3 and all future titles, uses DX11.

That's a presentation one of the DICE devs made. Interesting how much work is put into the engine.

Damn i was so excited when he said gunship, i thought he meant an AC-130. : (
I wish that was one of the perk things, instead of the single laser guided (shitty) bomb drop or the artillery station, imagine flying in an AC-130 CoD 4 style!

it wasnt the aiming so much, it was the way there was that odd sort of limit on how far you could aim it, or if a tank knew you were bombing him and just backed up a little and you couldnt maneuver anymore

reminds me of late nights playing Desert Combat, loading jeeps into the AC130... flying with a full crew, loading the jeep with C4, driving said jeep out the back and blowing the crap out of whatever was below...
oh fun times....
there's A LOT in DC that i wish they'd bring over (jets, artillery/spotting and of course the maps....)
oh memories...
*looks for 1942 install disc*

They havent said much about the single player except it'll be a bit more linear and more concentrated action, and that it'll be the same 4 guys from the first. It'll probably still keep the humor, what would the single player be without that? That's what made it unique and enjoyable.

I love the frostbite engine, I wish more games have the destructible environments. But I don't care for how the game plays online, the hit detection is AWFUL, you will empty a clip on a dude, launch a rifle mounted grenade, and he turns and kills me with a pistol.
Also since the game has tons of vehicles, they have to be huge, spawn without a vehicle nearby, you are gonna have to hoof it for 5 minutes, only to be taken out by a sniper.
But who knows, it could be fixed in the sequel.

In Conquest in BFBC it could be tough to get around in maps like Harvest Day and Par for the Course. But now there are 3 capturable flags in Conquest(you can see it in the vid at the top), so I think the action's gonna more....compressed? Can't find the right word for it... with only 3 flags there should be plenty of action going on at all of them.

or maybe just be a sniper and camp the vehicle spawns. every time someone runs up to a vehicle, BAM! headshot. move positions, repeat process.

You're aware that in Battlefield the bullets have travel time, right?
