Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Gameplay Trailer Mans the Guns, Snipes, 'Splodes

by Alice O'Connor, Nov 19, 2009 8:10am PST

Eighty-eight seconds of uncut Battlefield: Bad Company 2 footage are on display in a new trailer from DICE featuring tanks, sniping and a spot of explosive demolition.

The action occurs on the map 'Arica Habor', the sole level in the multiplayer beta which begins today for PlayStation 3 pre-orders then in December for all and sundry on PC.

Published by EA, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 arrives for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on March 2. Pre-ordering also nets you a "day one advantage" through six multiplayer item unlocks. A multiplayer demo is planned, presumably arriving before the release.

I have a couple issues of concern.

1. based on the video it seems like bf:bc2 has a lot of wrong weapon animations. For example, the bolt action sniper rifle - you don't normally give up your cheek weld on the gun when working a bolt.

2. What will the anti-cheat for this game be? Hopefully not punk buster, because that is a pretty bad one. In 2142, the servers were riddled with cheats and exploits. There was a long period of time where a commander could call in orbital strikes every 3 seconds. It took a really long time for a patch to that issue. How can we be assured that EA and Dice will improve on their track record?

This game looks like it has a good chance of finally getting the Battlefield series recognized and on military FPS fan radar in the same manner as a COD title. From what I see this looks better than COD:MW2. I don't think it will outsell MW2, but it is going to sell a buttload more than BF:BC1 did, and maybe start to get into the blockbuster sales category.

I wonder if you can have an AK type rifle with wood or bakelite furniture (I realize thats a retarded thing to get excited about...but I love wood on my AKs)...also kudos to them for including some of the newer Russian weapons like the crazy 9mm heavy ass assault riffle rounds the Russians are moving toward (I think I spotted a Vintorez http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vintorez in one of the vids). I wonder if they'll have a Groza in it.

Regardless, I'm pumped for this game!

I very much dislike gameplay videos captured off a console. The player movement/camera is so damn stiff. It feels unnatural as there's no looking around like you can do with a mouse and keyboard. Very robotic looking.

DICE has really come a long way with the player animations though. They've done a great job with them, compared to the older BF games.

dont know if anyone else noticed but, the map they're playing on is an enhanced version of Backstab from BF2: Modern Combat. oh the memories of playing that map for HOURS on end on the original xbox. it was a crap game with clunky controls and a half-assed story line but for some reason i got hooked.

just thought i'd throw that out there. btw, BF:BC 2 is a collector's edition 1st day buy for me. big fan of the series and this game looks INSANELY good! cant wait!

Holly shit, this game is EPIC (no video from this game never stops to make me go "Holy shit thats rad").

I really think this takes FPS to a new lvl, it just looks so organic freeking hot. I am sure this will be a dream on the pc in DX11 and all the other trimmings.

No one take offense to my next statement (I do love Modern Warfare 2 its an excellent game).

I truly believe (hope I am right, I am just speculating) from what I have scene and read, I believe that this will level MW2, just like its destructible environments, you heard it here first, my current thoughts are this game will be the FPS to set the new standards in all areas.
