official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Sethos]

Can't do a text file, or a google doc maybe? That way people can add their own name if I'm not mistaken?

No idea what a google doc is but a txt file would just prompt for a download, I tried doing an excel sheet as well.

Will give PDF a look.

Great suggestion, I have however never done a PDF file before, how do I go about that? - I also need something I can update quickly through Dropbox, for an example.

Can't be bothered jumping through hoops and obstacles every time I need to add a name.

How about PasteBin? Obviously people can edit and delete it but hopefully we can trust people enough not to be arses with it. Here is an example of one now BF:BC2 - Soldier List i just made, it can also be password protected so only a few people can edit it for example if you wanted to add protection.

If you want to make PDFs just download this PDF Creator, installs a PDF Printer so just type something up in word/whatever and print using the PDF printer. Works really well. Use it for all my dissertation and uni work.

Perhaps someone is up for making a list of some sort, whatever works and isn't possible to edit by the public because that WILL go down in flames.

I'll just add a section to the original post containing the link.

Of course they need to be able to update it regularly.

I'll do the soldier list. I'll get it online now.

[Sethos]

In that case; my Soldier's name is "Sethos" - Surprisingly.

I'll add links to online stats (I'm assuming there'll be such a thing?) once they're online.

How does ppl who have played the demo compared this to MW2?? MP that is of course.

[Spookie]

Spookie is my soldier name. :D

Added it to the bottom of the thread, unless there's some other suggestions.

I have on suggestion for the PDF though; perhaps add a "Country" or "Region" tag? Like EU, US, RU etc. so we know where they are from in case you want to join a game they are playing

but don't want to suffer from the cross-ocean lag, then you can always skip to the next member nearest your location.

But great work in any case ynnoj (Y)

I got a question regarding MP.

If I purchase this game on PC. Can my brother and I play it using two different soldier names? Or is it like one CD key per soldier name? And can I also get the DLC map packs for each soldier name? Or would I need two PC copies

Thanks in advance!

But otherwise I'm HEAPS excited about this game!

You could get people to add their details here:

Then get the list here:

Nice idea. Will add that now based on the information from Neowin. If they don't provide it or it isn't stated, I'll leave it blank.

From the beta, you can have multiple soldiers per key. I'm assuming it'll be the same for retail.

Done. I don't have Photoshop on my MacBook :p

Has this got screenshot mode like BF:BC did? That was awesome, maybe now they can add the names to the soldiers in the pics too.

[WastedJoker]

It's after 12am..can I post some screenies now?

Looks gorgeous WastedJoker. Can't wait for my copy to arrive. I may try and get my uni work out the way so when this arrives its smooth sailing :)

Can we get some opinions on the SP, no spoilers obviously but what you think of it.

[Manson_AAN]

woah crap they look good and you're running it between 30-77 fps!!! :o

hehe the second last picture reminds me of Favela from MW2.

Looking awesome!

(how many hours is SP?)

[WastedJoker]

BFBC2 SP is better than MW2 SP, imo.

Longer playtime, the set pieces are busier (if somewhat less inventive) but the frequent transition points can somewhat spoil the overall effect.

Playtime was around 8-10hrs (didn't measure - I'm not a particularly good FPs gamer though. Hardcore gamer could do it in 6, I bet).
