Battlefield Bad Company 2 Preview

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited EditionBattlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited EditionBattlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited Edition
Until The release date on March 2nd 2010 I  will post as much information here as I can find for Battle Field Bad Company 2 aka BFBC2



Click here for Info on the new BFBC2 Squad Deathmatch Mode

The early unlocks for Battlefield Badcompany 2 are:
Improved Vehicle Armor
Vehicle Alternate Fire
Vehicle Motion sensor
Tracer Dart Pistol
M1A1 SubMachine Gun
M1911 Pistol


This is the the ruined industrial environment of Panama Canal.
From The video we can see a number of weapons available in BFBC2 and also some things like awards, I break it down for you below the video.

Panama Canal Gamplay Video



First of all it looks like they are playing on the xbox 360 because of the d-pad icon when they change to the RPG.

We can see that you can collect dogtags in BFBC2

Weapons that we can see from the scrolling kill info and that we can see are:

M9 Pistol
Type BB LMG
RPG AT
Scar L Carbine
M24 Sniper
XM8 Prototype
Combat Knife
PKM LMG
M1A1 Thompson
T90 MBT
9a-91 avtomat

Tanks:

M1A2 Abrams

Awards That I noticed are:

Combat Efficiency Pin
Combat Exellence Pin

When they showed one of the parts in a tank it had a lock on it, then they showed a part where a helicopter(not sure but seemed that way because it went sideways) Launched a missle at a locked on tank. If they are related this could be how the sniper laser designator works. Also there was acft on the screen, all i could find out about that is that it means: aircraft  In the upper left hand side it says "feed" That's what makes me think it is done by laser designator or it could also be done the way a predator is launched in MW2.

They have also included ATV's in Battlefield Bad Company 2. At one point an atv is filmed from a guy with a rocket launcher, so I thnk that he was on the back of an atv. That would be nice although it kind of reminds me of Halo.
They are showing conquest mode on Panama canal but I hope that they still have gold rush. That was a great part of Battlefield Bad Company. It kind of set them apart from the rest of the fps titles.

If you notice anthing else in the video please leave a comment

When you play the beta, you will find that there are a multitude of different more or less effective tactics that you can use on Arica Harbor for both attackers and defenders.



If you look closely on the level features, and use your creativity with destruction, you will soon see the results of your battle plans.

1st base

Near the border control gates, you will find tank ditches on each side of the road where you can place your tank for a dug in position that lowers your profile in the terrain, and adds protection for your tank from oncoming fire.


2nd base


Destroy just one hole in the crate house towards construction site, and get a great view on the objective where you can kill enemies that are rushing in, trying to set a charge. Don’t destroy more of the wall than you absolutely need

3rd base



In order to get into this position unseen by enemy, one thing you could do is to use a military tactic called ”mouseholing”. To do this, destroy the wagon side walls close to where you spawn on the bridge, jump inside and start destroying walls only on the end of each wagon until you can see wagon containing the objective. This will create a relatively safe tunnel to the target that you are to protect.

Destroy the walls of the train wagons enough that you can get a strategic position inside the neighboring train wagon, overlooking the objective. Not only are you protected from mortar strikes, but you also have cover to protect you from oncoming swarms of enemies in there as some of the train's cargo is still intact.

4th base



As long as the plank stack is not destroyed, you can use the stack to jump up on the container, and have cover and a good overview of the objective.


5th base



Destroy the walls of the construction site towards the barracks (one steel plate and one brick wall). This will turn the barracks into a real nice strategic position where you can guard the objective on the second floor of the construction site as you now can see it from the barrack windows..
Here is a vid From The Beta



Some of the unlocks that you get with the limited edition of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, out March 2nd 2010.



What does a typical day for a squad in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 look like? How about avoiding RPG fire, assaulting an enemy position and destroying a gold crate as a typical day? One thing is clear, sticking with your squad can be the difference between success and defeat.




The circle of death continues for the next chapter of the successful Battlefield: Bad Company series with the first trailer for the upcoming Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The core tenant of the Battlefield franchise, vehicle warfare, rings true in this latest video from the DICE team.



The first in a series of videos showcasing Bad Company 2 multiplayer.



This is a great video with one of the producers(gordon VanDike) from Battlefield Bad Company 2. He talks about the amount of work they put into the campaign, Dice did the whole campaign themselves with the Frostbite engine. He also talks about the weapons and kits, the scopes can be changed out.(great) Whole buildings colapsing, unlocks and character build up. Squad's can be private and the spawns have improved so you don't have to spawn with the guy three sections back at the artillery. Ambiance has improved also. Enjoy the video, see you on the battlefield march 2. Ps I am looking forward to getting some Dice Dogtags.


Here is a video abou Battlefield Bad Company 2, I can't wait graphics look great. A lot of the weapons look the same but that is ok I am very comfortable with BFBC the way it was.







This is an old battlefield Bad Company 2 vid but I think that it is funny when one of the guys is down they use the paddles to revive him and he just jumps up and starts running.LOL


Damn it I am still mad that the beta is only on the PS3 hopefully they will release a demo for the 360 early, here is what they have to say about it:

Starting on November 19th the Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2 PS3™ beta features the huge Arica Harbour map where up to 24 players fight across a variety of different conflict zones. Get a preview of the action in-store with this gameplay video and then head over to www.Battlefield.com for further details on how you can get a beta key.
