A tour of Battlefield: Bad Company 2's multiplayer
by JC Fletcher 
{ Nov 12th 2009 at 10:00PM } 
In the G4 video after the break, producer Gordon Van Dyke provides a running commentary of direct-feed multiplayer footage, demonstrating the kind of gameplay you'll be able to help tune (and also enjoy) in the PS3 multiplayer beta. Or, to put it a different way, there's thirteen minutes of direct-feed Bad Company 2 footage after the break. Hardly needs any more dressing up than that, does it? Enjoy it -- no tips required.

Must... Play... Beta
Luckily my key is in a safe place. That is, until someone hacks GMail.
jbloss @ Nov 12th 2009 10:40PM
Well, that was easy. Thanks for the code.
jbloss @ Nov 12th 2009 10:41PM
made you look!

This game is going to be INTENSE.
bumblo @ Nov 12th 2009 10:47PM
That sniper is pretty bad ass, he killed the dev about 3 times and proceeded to knife everybody in the room towards the end haha
Durden @ Nov 12th 2009 11:22PM
Intense for sure! The sound design is absolutely amazing in the video. I just hope it gets a lot of the MW2 audience. Most people, I think, want to play 1 or the other instead of giving both a shot.

Why the hell don't they just call it "Battlefield:The Mutiplayer That Should Have Been in MW2"? It's pretty obvious that it doesn't have a damn thing to do with the original, so call it what it is already and lets be done with it.
zenaxe @ Nov 13th 2009 12:29PM
They could call it "Battlefield: Modern Warfare Too".

One things for certain. It didn't come from...
*dons sunglasses*
a bad company.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Nov 12th 2009 10:08PM
What the hell is wrong with you?
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 10:09PM
...I don't know. It all started when I embraced the dark side...
The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] ATDFs Financier and Batman @ Nov 12th 2009 10:10PM
didnt someone already do a "Bad Company" line?
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Nov 12th 2009 10:11PM
That's not the dark side.
You just haven't seen any sunlight since your first post on Joystiq.
CheeziePotato (Super Saiyan of the ATDF) @ Nov 12th 2009 10:15PM
I joined the Dark Side ever since I saw The Phantom Menace. That movie made me feel bad that I was a Star Wars fan.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 10:16PM
Paah! I play games! The only light I need comes from LCD's...
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 10:17PM
You know, what is everyones favorite Star Wars film?
For me, it would be The Empire Strikes Back, followed by Revenge of the Sith..
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Nov 12th 2009 10:23PM
What does any of this have to do with Bad Company 2?
...
My answer: Anything other than 1, 2, or 3.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 10:24PM
Since when do the comments have anything to do with the topic?
And, yes, I'm buying Bad Company 2. On my PS3.
CheeziePotato (Super Saiyan of the ATDF) @ Nov 12th 2009 10:30PM
1. Empire Strikes Back
2. A New Hope
3. Return of the Jedi
4. Revenge of the Sith
We need the theatrical version of the Star Wars trilogy in Blu-Ray. No fucking changes, Lucas.
HAN SHOT FIRST!
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 10:33PM
I think I'd go Empire, Revenge, Return, New Hope, Menace, Clones.
The romance dialogue in Clones was just fracking terrible. Really I and II don't even count as films.
I believe Lucas is aware his changes weren't welcome. Some of the updates were all right, though.
Han did shoot first.
CheeziePotato (Super Saiyan of the ATDF) @ Nov 12th 2009 10:38PM
I still have my VHS box-set from the 90's and I love it so much. The DVD box-set was a disappointment to me being an original Star Wars fan from the 80's.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Nov 12th 2009 10:46PM
Since when do discussions have anything to do with the topic?
Since people first started discussing topics.
No one gives a shit about Star Wars in a thread about Bad Company 2.
Maybe I'm just losing my mind. I'm just getting sick of seeing your useless comments on every single article and majority of them having NO contribution to the discussion.
You're like a troll minus the attitude.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 10:48PM
My comments aren't useless.
Will your refrain of constantly attacking me ever end? Now, those comments are useless.
SpyderTaco (PSN: Ar4chNova89) @ Nov 12th 2009 10:50PM
God dammit.
I hate to say it, but I finally know how tmac feels about me.
...I feel so dirty now.
CheeziePotato (Super Saiyan of the ATDF) @ Nov 12th 2009 11:01PM
@Spyder
Sorry to offend you with my off-topic posts. On-topic: Yeah BC2 looks great. Going to get it for PC when I get a new gaming PC next year, but till then I'll be playing the shit out of the beta.
Happy now?
mahouneko @ Nov 12th 2009 11:35PM
Bradwart, how could you miss the "YEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!" part of that?
Liquid man @ Nov 13th 2009 4:37PM
YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!
brian @ Nov 12th 2009 10:08PM
... what is this milky discharge coming out of me....
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 10:09PM
Umm...milk?
isItjustme @ Nov 12th 2009 10:34PM
Wow, did we really have to take it to the next level...
bumblo @ Nov 12th 2009 10:46PM

The Dark Wayne [Planeteer: Power of the Batusi] ATDFs Financier and Batman @ Nov 12th 2009 10:11PM

That Guy @ Nov 13th 2009 3:32AM

Mr.ESC @ Nov 12th 2009 10:09PM
I would like to know something about the single player campaign.
After all war,war never changes.
Darth Bradwart, The Dark Lord of the Sith-ATDF Co-Founder @ Nov 12th 2009 10:11PM
According to Kojima, was has changed...
CheeziePotato (Super Saiyan of the ATDF) @ Nov 12th 2009 10:17PM
I don't want the nanomachines.
Jonathan @ Nov 12th 2009 10:16PM
Probably buy from me, I'm just caught up in so many shooters right. Still poppin' in Halo 3 and I just got MW2. So many good games coming out lately. I really need a job.
Jonathan @ Nov 12th 2009 10:22PM
Probable**
Damn I suck in English
RKN (Steam ID: nerdydesi) @ Nov 12th 2009 10:27PM
Quite you do.
Otis Whitaker @ Nov 12th 2009 10:33PM
All I want them to do is make the controls less dreadful than they are in BC1 and 1943.
Seriously, vehicle controls? Make no sense.
Analog sensitivity?
Again, works against all console FPS logic. They're WAY too sensitive, and if you lower it to a point in which it's acceptable, it takes a million years to turn around.
Don't get why I'm the only one who feels this way, but I do :/
Otherwise, I'm just going to get the PC version.
gonintendo @ Nov 12th 2009 11:05PM
I think the idea was that youd aim in the general direction of the enemy and the pull up the sights and fine tune the aim. It pretty much made hip firing useless and imo made it more fun, because it gives you time to react to an enemy that popped around a corner.
WiNG [XBL&Steam: WiNGSPANTT] from lifeinagame.com @ Nov 13th 2009 10:35AM
The vehicle controls are great in 1943. Unless of course you are really bad at flying, then they're not that great.
Otis Whitaker @ Nov 13th 2009 3:35PM
no no no no no.
They control great, but the buttons you use are absolutely stupid and make no logic button mapping sense
Joey @ Nov 12th 2009 10:33PM
Got my key too. Can't wait! I hope I'm not going to spoil the game for myself too much by playing the beta, but I can't resist! I hope there's some good mods that come out for this game like Battlefield 2.
bumblo @ Nov 12th 2009 10:35PM
I played BC1 to death on the PS3, so this is a must buy for me. Nothing is more satisfying than blowing up buildings and walls and watching the bricks fly around everywhere.. I think I'll go preorder now, any idea if gamestop has a beta code available for people that preorder?
xsfx @ Nov 12th 2009 10:48PM
This is all the Modern Warfare I'll need, thx.
ThorSkaagi @ Nov 12th 2009 10:52PM
I preordered BF:BC2 from GameStop ages ago on the PS3. How will I get the beta key?
johnnynumber5 @ Nov 12th 2009 11:03PM
maybe call the gamestop you ordered it from?
