Battlefield 2: Bad Company and Battlefield 1943 announced

[Phobia]

Granted I am not playing the beta but I was watching videos on youtube of the game a lot today and it looks and plays very very similar to Bad Company 1. Graphic upgrade and a small damage upgrade is about all I see. Am I wrong with this assessment??

Yes, it's similar, but videos don't tell the whole story. DICE has made a lot tweaks and additions that make it a much better experience than BC1.

• Tighter controls
• Regenerating health
• Hit detection vastly improved
• Greater bullet damage
• Better ballistics - you have to account for bullet drop now.
• No more instant zoom or no scopes
• Sniping isn't a one hit kill unless it's a headshot.
• Better balance between scopes and iron-sights.
• Getting hit throws aim off
• Medics aren't useless since they now have defib paddles.
• Flyable UAV instead of attackers controlling an artillery placement to rain down shells in a specific area. Powerful, yet easy to take down.
• ATVs - fast, agile and very useful to get to vantage/sniping spots.
• Specializations (perks) - Nothing to crazy, but all are useful and balance each other out.
• Parachutes
• Flexibility with additional customizable kits
• Kit specific leveling

What do you mean by bullet drop?

Gravity has some effect on the shots you fire.

Yea, it is a gigantic update...very good..but without other types of matches, such as TDM etc. I don't think this game will be able to keep players' attention...hopefully...

I just wish you didn't have to get out of your scope to reload with snipers-big disadvantage. I also feel like thhat one of the bolt action sniper rifles should have been a one shot kill to the chest(some kind of random multiplier so it isn't every shot to the chest of course..or else the balance would be ruined. But when a guy goes behind a rock and his health regenerates...annoying.

Previous Battlefield games didn't have trouble keeping peoples attention with only one mode. Conquest has some TDM sensiblites to it, but Battlefield would lose a lot of what makes it unique if they added a traditional TDM mode. Also, the maps just aren't simply built for it.

[AnArtofWar]

Well what I really mean to say is just a wide variety of different types of match types. Not really TDM.

Besides Rush and Conquest, we know there will be 2 other modes.

Interview

Quote:

In an interview with IncGamers, Dice’s Gordon Van **** let slip that the new modes will focus on teamwork. “[W]e also have two new game modes that we're not disclosing all the details about – but I will say that it's completely based and focused on squad play,” he said. “That, I think, is going to take it to the next level, and people really need to stay on the lookout for when we release those details.”
