Battlefield Bad Company

[Guest]

I'm sure people will still play. Hell, I'm just now starting to put quality time into the game. And there's no reason why DICE/EA can't make adjustments. The mistake I think they made with BC is not coming out with Conquest sooner. People played the hell out of Gold Rush because it was the only mode, so if you don't like Conquest it is kind of tough to want to go back to Gold Rush. That's just my opinion, though.

I've never played TF2 but I won't go anywhere near Halo 3. If TF2 gets the love here I will get it and get rid of CoD4 (I've wanted to get The Orange Box anyway).

edit: just watched some TF2 vids on youtube. WTF is that?! LOL. Looks complicated as all hell. Maybe it was the mode the guy was playing but I saw wrenches and building sentry units and whatever else...enlighten me, please? :)

I really hope so, I've been playing the demo over the last couple of days and it sure is fun. I miss my Battlefield 2 days on PC, truly an epic game when played right. How does the new Conquest mode compare? After reading some posts, initial impressions don't seem too positive :(

:laugh: Team Fortress really isn't as complex as it appears. It's essentially CTF, but there's wide array of playable classes each with their own traits and style of play. Some are suited to defence, other offence.

I highly recommend you check it out. Is there a demo available on Steam? I wouldn't bother with the 360 version. The lag is horrendous and the scene is practically empty last time I checked.

Thanks for the game last night,

Sorry I went quiet all of a sudden. I usually just shut up when the rest of the house is sleeping.

I'm considering getting BF:BC. I'm a huge FPS fan, and I love pretty much all decent FPS's out there, and still regularly play: Cod4 (PC and 360 versions), Halo3, Shadowrun (360 version), CS:S, SoF2 (going really oldschool there! :p) on a regular basis. I do have BF2, and i played it a moderate amount, but I never had any friends with the game, and so I got lonely and bored after a while. Seeing as a load of you guys have the game and seem to play regularly, it would probably be a better experience than BF2 :)

So the big question that remains is: Is it a worth buying at the moment?

Yes, totally worth it. While Conquest mode in Bad Company has it's issues right now, it's still fun as hell. And Goldrush mode is awesome. Tons of people are playing it, and it's just fun. And I'm am a hardcore PC gamer who has played every PC BF game ever made (including Vietnam, which I still think was underrated) and enjoyed all of them immensly. But yes, it's worth buying it. And when new DLC comes along, I'm sure it'll be terrific as usual, since DICE's DLC (going by PC here) is usually terrific stuff.

[LOC Veteran]

Ah well, but I wouldn't mind playing it some day :)

We still need a new game to mess around with!

What about Unreal Tournament 3 on the 360 or PC? It's awesome stuff, I love playing it on the 360 actually because I don't suck as bad on the PC (go figure) and there are alot more players on the 360 than on the PC (sadly).

We could also play Call of Duty 3 (I know, I'm the only one who enjoyed it apparently). I find the MP for it is quite fun.

Im going on now, if anyone wants to play :)

GT is 'horsecollar'

[Pheee]

I just ordered my copy, and I should have it tomorrow (Saturday) so I will start level 1, but nevermind, will have to catch up.

[LOC Veteran]

I don't know if we are already on each other's friends list or not Pheee, but my gamertag is in my signature, feel free to add me if you want :) I'm only level 10 or so (and I suck anyways) so I'd be more than happy to play with you when you get it tomorrow.

[se7en.hu]

^ I saw that you added me :)

If Im in Recreation does that mean I can only play with others in that zone?

Im downloading conquest mode, luckily it fits on my memory stick :p

Ok LOC, on you're head be it if I don't enjoy it!

I'm kidding :p but thanks very much for the reply, it's convinced me (didn't take much did it.) I'll order it tonight, and hopefully I'll get it Monday and be able to play with you guys :D

My gamertag is Mr Vampy - Im also on the Neowin Clan friends list thing, so if you're on that you can find me through there as well :)

@Se7en - Nope, you can play anyone on any zone you want, the zones don't really mean much (or anything that I know of actually)

[se7en.hu]

thanks mate. :)

[Guest]

I'll also be ordering this soon, so there's a slim chance it'll arrive tomorrow.

Yeah I added you yesterday sometime before my PC became all screwy. And you can play with any zone, but you are "more likely" to be paired with people from the zone you choose. That's how I understand it anyways.

Trust me, it's an awesome game. Even if you don't like Conquest all that much, Goldrush is funnnnn. In any event, I'll add you to my friends list :)

Nope, I don't think we have :(

My tag is ynnnoj, send me a request (I'm at work right now).

[se7en.hu]

I think there's an update to install too. Were you not prompted when you loaded the game?

[se7en.hu]

Nope. Strange :/ You dont need a HDD do you? Im thinking maybe its not working cause ive downloaded it to a memory stick..

[DirtyLarry Veteran]

I think so maybe, where do the game updates go otherwise? And I am asking genuinely as I have no clue?

And let me say this, especially to Munky, do not give up on Conquest Mode just yet.

We played it more or less right when it came out yesterday, and indeed people had no clue what they were doing obviously.

Last night was a completely different story, as we had upwards of 30 minute games. People were finally playing it right.

Oasis is still a joke, it is still a terrible tragedy they made it so bases can be captured, but I have to say it was a totally different experience in a matter of 6 hours from people knowing what to do and people not knowing what to do.

Finally @ Munky, wasnt your initial impression of Conquest playing with Sethos? You know he hates every game! :p

[Pheee]

Cant wait to play this and now with Free DLC out, my order was dispatched already from shopto, so should have it tomorrow ;)

Any games going on tomorrow?

Wouldnt the update automatically save to whatever you have specified as your storage device? Thats what I would think...I have no clue either.

And I was going to say the same thing to Munky to not give up just yet. But coupled with the slow internet link here at work, and Neowin still getting "optimized" from the server move, its been painfully slow to do anything.

We had some decent games last night, which seemed to have changed alot due to people knowing what they were doing. Sure, you still have your Team Deathmatch Campers, but for the most part, everyone seemed to be playing it right.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

I will stick around a while longer for you guys. As long as we can switch between Gold Rush and Conquest, and not only play Conquest 24/7 now.

I don't give up that easily on a game, especially one I've played for years like Battlefield. I wanna help you guys reach Rank 25 and I want to reach 100K points as a personal goal anyways.

[Ji@nBing]

Fighting the urge not to tbh! But yeah I'll be on soon and give it another go. I've still to try End of the Line in Conquest. I doubt it's gonna change my mind much, but I'll play a few rounds of Gold Rush too.

I'm trying to think of another multiplayer game to fill the gap Conquest has left..

COD4 is just...meh, I couldn't get back into it when we played.

What about Halo 3 :woot: :p

UT3? I nver got into BF for some reason, and Halo3 is just boring. I haven't played much UT3 online yet, but UT is always good for some fun.

[Pheee]

LOC, yes I have you on mine, my gamertag is 'Pheis' slightly different as my Neowin account. I also have Pheee, but its a secondary account for when friends come over.

Will look out for you online.

Thanks

360 or PC though?

[se7en.hu]

Yea the Conquest mode thing (80mb file) saved to my Memory Stick, but I never got prompted to install a game update.

I dont think its cause I need a HDD for it cause XBLA trials work off it (memory stick), so I spose this should too :/

I dont know dudes, seems pretty wierd. Any ideas?
