Anti aircraft guns are no where to be seem and next to useless.

Stinger, Mobile AA tanks. Unlockable Heat seeking missiles for the AA vehicles. Play better and unlock them...

Passenger gun on heli seems to have no effect on tanks.

Passenger gun on heli is actually pretty good at killing tanks if you aim at the right places and hit with most shots it takes 2 or 3 burst to disable a tank. But you can unlock guided missiles, and TV missiles for the gunner position......Shoot some more people and you will have access to these.

Vehicles don't have the same solid feel as in BC.

Unlock reactive armour, smoke, optics, Faster auto repair etc etc to make tanks better. Also dont be foolish and drive into an enclosed space where 3 rpg men are hiding


Far too much writing on the screen (count downs for flags etc)

Slightly maybe. Seems fine at 1920x1200 though..

Enemy players have two logos above their heads. A triangle and a star. Tried shooting both but still don't hit the player.

Not much i can say here except... LOL and ROFL.

Capture flag area seems to be massive making it hard to find the player and put a stop to him and his devilish ways.

Seems no bigger than BF2 was.. Its fine.

Two sets of dog tags. One with your name which is fine but another BS tag that you can customise MW style.

Errr so what ?

The screen goes all fuzzy with pretend interference on the menus screens.

Its a menu... who cares?

The old end of game summery was much clearer and more useful on seeing how well you got on.

If you are taking about BF2, then i agree.

I can not see the multiplayer been lacklustre mate to be honest because this is its strongest point, survival looks well cool and teaming up with a decent buddy then i think its a few hours of enjoyment.

Multiplayer would have been where i spent all my time on but like i said im so looking forward to Survival just as much.

Blimey Death where have you been for the last 9 years?

Is there an unlock that will improve the field of vision???

Guess you're not playing on a PS3 then

Yea thanks for that.

Haven't played BF2 for years, compared to BFBC2 it's massive.

Nothing to do with the feel of driving them, they just seem to float along rather than the more planted feel of BFBC2.
Thanks for the tip about the PRG men :/

One of the things I enjoyed about the battlefield series was that it wasn't bloated out with [censored] like extra tags AKA MW style. Personally I couldn't give a monkeys if someone has an extra tag with some picture of a gun or something else that means nothing to the gameplay.

See you in 2020

I typed out a 5000 word review and then deleted it by accident. You lucky lot.

So I'll sum it up:

Visuals are poor. Not terrible but not what I was hoping for. And I'm talking MOH or Homefront standard. Too much on screen for the consoles to cope with I'm afraid. Less would have been more for the PS3 I think.

Controls are very badly weighted, but that is a trait of all the BC games I have played, so I was expecting that. I kind of feel they're set up with a mouse in mind but who knows. All I can say is the swing is completely unbalanced. And before anybody comes out with the "realistic controls" retort, it isn't. It really isn't. Unless of course you attend the Alan Carr school of marksmanship.

But wait for it....I quite enjoyed my first four hours with it last night. Co opus ridiculously difficult but fun. That will probably become far easier when the controls start to feel native.

Single player? Ripped straight from the pages of BLOPS in it's approach. It's ok, and I thought there were some great visuals/lighting. The volumetric smoke type effect was awesome. But it was too good for the backdrop on the PS3 and stuck out like a sore thumb!

And I don't mind my campaign "on rails" if it brings the bog cinematic sequences. But this really felt "ON RAILS", and was almost trying too hard. I am enjoying it though and it may improve as I get further in.

Overall I would say that on the next gen console (if they re weighted the steering!) this would have me converted to a BF3 fan. But for now I'm afraid I think MW3 will be the better game this generation.

Definitely agree there mate.

Get a PC.

FPS on a console ? You have no right to complain.

Of course he does it's made for PC's and consoles

I tried the AA for ages tonight. Complete and utter waste of space.

Looks like the ranking system is too low. Played against level 30, 25 and 20 tonight.
I liked the fact that I have been playing BFBC2 for 271h 54m and am still only level 38

Oh well it's a shame when a game fails

One thing I will say Swanny, is that the hit detection is good. You've all heard me bleat on about FPS MP being unplayable for me. I know, yawn right?

Well I am pleased to announce that this game couldn't feel further away from that!

Other PS3 games have had dedi's and have still been unplayable. It's the server browser that has made all the difference. It would be nice to narrow it down further with some numbers, but hey ho.

I think COD will have to step up to the mark on the consoles next time out. If it played like this I would be a very happy bunny. I might even give it a miss for MP by sticking to spec ops and survival mode and keeping this as my online fix for now. Those PC gamers have obviously had it good for too long, it's time for the console kids to get the browser option aswell.

What do you think of the visuals Swanny? I like the graphics and detail overall, it's just the definition seems pretty rough around the edges. And on the bigger maps it gives gaming pensioners like me eye strain.
