Used to play bf2142 loads back in the day, just lost interest and especially seeing as I played it on my pc, tech gets upgraded every few months so that 200-300 you spent on a new graphics card means bugger all 3 months down the line

Ah, I'm getting tempted now. Was going to give it a miss (PS3) going by early demos, but if it's that impressive I might have to get it.

been playing for 3 days now on pc lol, if your comparing it to the original bf2 and not bad company 2 then yes its better but i still prfer bf2 gameplay, its kicks bad company 2 arse though

only thing i dont like, carnt create own squads so carnt have games with friends in squads as you carnt pick and choose, clan tags are only 4 letters which is shit other than that the game is just immense in everyway and its chaos no matter where you go, maps are huge graphics are unreal

duno on ps3 tbh max 24 player servers isnt it, pc is where its at on 64 man servers

Bollocks. The multiplayer on Battlefield is miles better than the Call of Dutys. I enjoy playing COD online but Battlefield is just better plain and simple. Bigger maps, more players, vehicles...

i got it today for xbox. not overly impressed. Saw trailers etc online and thought it looked mental. Even with the hd pack installed it doesnt look nowhere near as good. Not fluid, lots of screen catchup issues going on. Aiming doesnt seem fluid. Might go and trade it in tomorrow. Really thought it would be better than this.

Thats because all trailers and previews have been the proper/pc version.

I've had a quick go on the multi player team death match version as i play the hardcore version on black ops, fucking hectic is not the word, trying to learn new maps is a pain and the jump the yanks and canucks and the rest of the world got on us is a joke.

I loaded into a map earlier ran out two feet looked around and thought this is prime for a spawn trap, 5 minutes later guess what happens....

dont play team death match

idont know what battlefield have put it on there as thats a cod thing

tbh if you try and play battlefield like you play cod you will never got on with the game, battlefield requires a lot more skill and thinking than cod as you have so much going on around you where cod is just run around and shoot people one player game no team work

thought so....... shame they advertised it like it was from the 360. As for the need to install a hd pack, the graphics are good, but not that good if you know what i mean. other games with one disc look just as pretty.

I afraid i fell for the hype.

oh well, bring on cod.
