In that case...I should be blown away

I will be interested to hear what it sounds like on 360. I'm sure it will sound fantastic, but PS3 games generally have better sound quality.

DL'ing now. Can't wait to play it later today.

On the 360, as far as the sound goes, one highlight for me is the surrounding gunfire. The other was when the helicopter flew over my head. They also do a great job of making things sound far off. I'm not sure how to explain that, but even when you are deployed from above, you just have this "approaching" feel. Very nicely done.

Try getting into a firefight that leads into a building. The sound in this game is a thing of beauty. Makes me feel as if I'm really in a war.

finally was able to connect to many games in a row and wow.... improved in every conceivable way from BC1... I absolutely love this game already

it feels like a real battle, enough space between kills to not feel like MW2 -kill, kill die, respawn, rinse repeat (or die, die die, kill ) - yet enough action to not be idle or bored.... improved accuracy and less bullets to kill, better graphics, more effects and particles, unreal sound, squad oand kit options and leveling upgrades.... wow wow wow,.... if they actually support this with new map packs (unlike BC1) this will be my online shooter for a year or two

indeed ... from the IGN preview

It looks impressive, but it sounds even better; Bad Company's greatest asset was its sound design, utilising DICE's pioneering HDR Audio technology to create gunfights that were told with unprecedented fidelity. The science behind it is simple, the results absolutely spectacular – and it's naturally been bolstered for Bad Company 2, the game boasting a soundscape that's beyond compare.

anyone else having issues with stats/experience messing up?

I leveled up and now I'm level 1 again
