Battlefield 2 Movie

Having played a lot of BF: Vietnam in the last few days, I have a few concerns:

While it's cool to have jet fighters and helicopters, it really sucks ass to be killed by them time and time again. In fact, the air vehicles in Vietnam are nay invincible--they can withstand upwards of 3 heat seeking rocket hits. Not to mention they can just shower you with missles and chaingun fire before you can even get a shot off. Please Dice, oh please balance the vehicles a little better this time. Especially if certain maps are only going to give air vehicles to one team...

Secondly, bring back the medic class! WTF were you thinking with Vietnam's pseudo build-your-own class system? Some of those combinations are pretty worthless, and the lack of a medpack makes me cry :( Part of a good team game is a squad helping each other out--especially when the maps are so large. You have to be able to heal in between encounters to make it fun.

Other than those two items, BF 2 looks fucking awesome. Those destructible environments are going to add a lot to the strategy. Though I fear it's going to make it very hard for infantry to seek cover now... Maybe to counter that, the tanks at least should all require at least 2 people to work effectively--one driving and one manning the cannon. A third person could even be the machine gunner. I think that would not only make the game more realistic, but encourage teamwork and cut down on people being left behind when all the vehicles are gone.

But anyway, I digress. Get this badboy out so we can play it!

Looks great.

However, one soldier getting nailed at nearly point blank range by a tank should gib into a mess of bloody chunks instead of flying away intact, like he was smacked by battering ram or something.

Having a war game without blood is just ludicrous IMO, if not down right irresponsible - and at the very least - retarded. (I'm looking at you MoH and BF.)

One of my personal gripes about BF:V is the transport helicopters being so lame. I'd like to see them lower the amount of people in the helicopter to like 4 people, to balance it a little bit (6 guys capture a flag very quickly) but make the guns either easier to aim, or shoot faster/do more damage. Right now it is all screwed up. You can't tell where anything you fire from the helicopter is really going. Trying to gun on the helocopters is rather suicidal. You almost always get owned by small arms fire.

Any mirrors/torrents?

damn its looking even better than I expected from the first bits of media released, lets hope the gameplay is as good as the graphics =)

Funny how the self-shadowing on the F-15 seems to turn off at one point partway through a closeup.

What about the helicopters?

Call me old-fashioned, call me a luser, call me whatever you want, but I prefer the wild and reckless flight model of the DC helicopters over all of the tamed down versions we've gotten in other games.

I like the feeling of being in direct and absolute control over everything. I realize it's not 'realistic,' and I realize the DC copters have a huge learning curve, but I still think they were more fun and more versatile than anything else.

So...have we heard anything on the physics models for the copters or planes? Have we actually seen any copter flight videos (other than the 3rd person blackhawk that's dropping guys off?

(I haven't watched this video yet...have to go home first.)

Um wow. Yeah... wow. That looked fucking great!! Can't wait for this game, and I'm glad to see it ran very smoothly unlike the last vid they released.

Bourne Supremacy, the game? Oh. Well this footage wasnt too much different than stuff we have seen already, but still very cool.

man this looks amazing !! i cant wait to get in a jet fighter :D
i just hope it plays/feels a bit better than the previous games.. more like an FPS than the feel of a locked 3rd person game; also i hope it loads better and i get on a server.. BF seems to switch screen res and black screen and load and load and black screen so many times before i actually make it ingame and then i disconnect cause it tok too long

Woohoo, that clip kicks ass, impressed with the level of detail.

Can't wait to get into one of those fighters.

Shacky cam? =)

Wow, it looks awesome
