New Battlefield 360 Info, new screens included Options

[KAGE360]

i have to admit that even though there is still room for improvement, they have enhanced the graphics better then i thought they would. even though i havent played any other then the xbox version (ugly as sin IMO) i have always taken an interest in the series (PC versions). if they can really crank up the graphical quality of this game and give a 50 player limit or more then i may look into this game once its released.

50 isn't enough for you? Damn. Call of Duty only supports 8 and its a top seller.

Having much more the 50 would be hard to find a balanced game imo. Sure the option would be sweet, but I don't think it should be considered a factor in the buying process.

I'll be keeping my eye on this one

i meant 50 or more, thank you i fixed it. it could be 16 for all i care but from the demo i have seen the level are rather large so unless there is a descent amount of players, i think it could be a boring game because you would never find anyone. i love CoD2 and have enjoyed online plenty of times, when i first read about the 8 player limit i was dissapointed but the game is very balanced and fun even with the minimal limit.

even more screens added...

again looking better then what i expected but there is still much room for improvement as its clear that they are still using assets and material from the last gen.

I was hoping for a port of the PC version, not the last gen console game. The PC game is perhaps the best game ever in my book (I've logged crazy hours playing it), all my friends upgraded their pc for it and bought a microphone headset etc. It's just gaming bliss.

BF2 MC that I tried on the xbox was pretty meh, kinda sacrilegious even. Not a bad game but not BF2 either.

BF42 and onward has always been a multiplayer game with massive action, vehicle physics (both land and air), precise and skillful gameplay and chaotic fun. If BF2MC on the 360 fails to deliver those components it will fail.

I want it to succeed because I love DICE as a company but this whole modern combat thing is something EA has forced upon dice after they took over the company. DICE probably would have not made this console game if it werent for EA and thats not a good thing.

And like KAGE said, 24 players is pretty pathetic. It just means the levels are miniscule to keep the action tight. I'm used to 64player combat on the PC version now and its hella fun especially in the city maps.

The 360 has THREE CORES where you could dedicate one core entirely to calculate the predictions for other players and vehicles (the main reason that slows down a PC the more players are in a map), it wouldhave made the perfect platform for a PC port of the game with little to no slowdown no matter whats on screen.

yeah if they can make it into anything close to how bf42 was for the pc when it first came out, than i cant wait to get it. modern combat was definetly not anything like a bf game...im hoping they shy away from that and go back to what worked in the original.

Isn't it made by EA?

Nice catch...and I dont see what all you have against EA anyway. Madden is probably my favorite series of game!

[Master X]

EA kicks ass, I dont know why some of you have that fuck EA signiture. So what if they make some crappy games, lots of developers. BTW I play Battle Field 2 for PC almost everyday, my favorite PC game. I will definitely buy the Xbox 360 version once it is released.

Master X! dude, thats my text in your sig!!!!

Looks pretty good, not fantastic, though. A couple of those screens are REALLY dark, though.

i just bought the expansion pack for battle field 2, frys had it for like 24.99 2 weeks ago and i jsut got around to installing it. hope its fun, i spent like 800$ upgrading my pc for this game! not for it, just to improve it, man it looks gorgous. anywho....

I think Battlefield will support 24 players. And I don't think call of duty was a best seller cause of its multiplayer.
