Did you not need an NDA for thie beta? Sweet...

If the fuckers won't give me a code, at least I can semi-enjoy it through yours

[DJ-Daz]

I've given up on getting a working code.
I've deleted all references to the bestbuy code.
I've stopped following EA, GVD, BFBC2official.

I've also cancelled the pre-order. I just dont want the code anymore.
I'm sick and tired of jumping through their hoops for codes that are gone in 2 seconds.
I think its rediculous that the US get all the codes they want, and we have to fight for every single code posted..


I dont even want the game anymore.

[Symonator]

i thought we all had keys man. yikes.
Well i have been deleted off killzones psn and twitter and it can only be because he has no key?

If so well.. .. very very very childish

daz: the american psn hasnt updated, soon as it does it will be ready, hasnt dave or deddon got any spare usa ones...

[redVENGEANCE]

i have no more spare keys, however someone on my firneds list has 9! i've asked if he got a spare one, watch this space

and yeah killzone_kid, wtf, what is going on?

[DJ-Daz]

I'm annoyed at all the shit we have to go through to get a key.
Jump through this hoop, sign up to this hoop. do this, do that.
WTF is wrong with just giving keys away to anyone who wants one? Like they are doing for the US?

[EUK007]

I share your pain Daz, it's such a fucking pain in the ass doing those things. It's unfair for us (EU) and me too got also frustrated with the fucking codes. :pissed_off:

But not until Dave gave me another key, and it works. YAAHHOOOOOO

I'm downloading right now and tomorrow im off, so i'll be enjoying BFBC2 the whole day. sweeeeet BFBC2, here i come :ninja: :XD

Cheers Dave and to make it up to you, if I manage to be on the opposing team you don't have to worry, coz i'll walk infront of you, kneel and give you my first dogtag.

[codayop]

oh its like that is it?
Only "special" people get Keys do they?

well, I can wait - I know for certain you lot will rape the game stupid and hopefully report the bugs back to them.

hurry up and get some vids posted!
:slow:

Wow BFBC2 Rocks!

I find the Audio and Video Superb and the gameplay seems to be longer than BFBC1. My only qualms are the controls, you need to set it up properly.

On the Controls options, make sure you've adjusted the right sensitivity of your controller. Even on my FragFX which I already adjusted to maximum needs to have some extra tweakings.

On the button layout, select "Alternate"
On the Land Buttons, select "Drive"
These configurations are the same or the nearest button configuration like BFBC1.

Oh and by the way, the UAV is very cool and I have fun playing on it. UAV is very effective on static targets. You've got the eye in the sky + missiles on board. But I can see a lot of TK will happen (soon) who gets to use it first, the same with the noob artillery howitzers in BFBC1.

[EUK007]

Damn it, the game freeze (1st time) :oh_noes:

[EUK007]

After playing a couple of hours, I already got a good numbers of Dogtags. I find the melee combat in BFBC1 better than BFBC2.

In BFBC1 you can really dance (tango) , I mean you can do lateral movements and also do a combination of jump, sidestep and stab. Here in BFBC2, lateral movements is somehow limited. You cannot even do a combination of sidestep and stab.

Moreover in BFBC2, the stab is done in a downward thrust movement. Unlike in BFBC1, the stab is done in a slashing motion so you can move and dance freely.

[EUK007]

UAV if used properly is an indispensable piece of military hardware. You can see the enemy formations from above, so you can direct and re-direct your squad what kind of offensive tactics your squad will employ. It also has a on-board missile, so those stubborn enemy's defensive formations can be easily liquidated.

Unfortunately, UAV is quite easy to take down. You just need a sniper riffle (M24), and one shot from this will make UAV go boom.

I have a few questions for you Mr.007 if you dont mind?
Does the Squad invite system work?
And does it has the infamous killercam?
Just looking at the videos it doesnt seem to have that "diffrent" look that BFBC 1 had...
