Hey Matt,

Saw the post and never realised BBC was available to download a demo. Jumped on to Live last night and downloaded it and consequently played the MP for 2 hours staying up much later that I wished too!

Very very impressed. I was a heavy player of BF2 on the PC (MP) and still occasionally play, it was nice to see it move on to a console and still take much of the game with it.

Will be looking to get the full game soon as I’ve just purchased [LEGO] Indiana Jones.

I played BF1942 multiplayer briefly, and the singleplayer only once thru. BF2 was my favorite, and I racked up nearly 300 hours of online gameplay. The music was outstanding, gameplay fast and fun, and very addicting. BF2142 was a lot of fun, too, but I quickly got bored after roughly 40 hours of online gameplay.

Sucky about your drive. I don’t suppose that’s covered under warranty? Are you going to pay to have it repaired or just replace the console?

I think the motion sickness is to do with the field of view. It seems smaller than usual, which could be what’s making you feel that way. It’s like walking down a hallway with a slanted floor and walls – you would totally throw-up before reaching the end. Same deal here, it’s off by just a bit. But enough to throw your perception off.

Good stuff! It really is a great soundtrack from beginning to end.

I’m going to do a follow-up post going over some of my favourite game, movie, and tv soundtracks. So stay tuned for that – should have a bunch more stuff you’ll likely be into.

It’s hard to compare it to COD4 since their strong points are opposites, or at least they used to be. The Battlefield series has always been focused on multiplayer, while COD is the first in the series to have a wildly popular mp experience. On the other hand, COD has always been known for its intense single player campaign, while BF has had basically a skirmish mode with bots.

It’s a shame that conquest mode isn’t packed into BBC out of the box, but I hear it’s coming in a patch. It’s strange really, seeing how the BF series put that game mode on the map and all.

Xbox 360, of course.

Yeah, the single player is silly, but it’s fully meant to be. I’m not overly fond of the characters, but am stoked to have a fleshed out campaign to play. It’s a first for the series.

I really want to love this game. I’ve played the demo to death and unforunately can’t play the full game because my DVD drive broke a week ago. But the only thing about this game is the fact that the swaying motion when moving makes me motion sick and I’ve never had motion sickness while playing a game.

I’m still going to pick it up, because the multiplayer is pretty damn fun, but I’m going to have to buy some Dramamine to go with it.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. Your review here led me to check it out on Amazon MP3, and the previews there sold me on the album instantly — thanks!

My copy of BBC arrives tomorrow via Amazon and I’m hoping it’s as good as people say it is. I’ve grown fond of Call of Duty 4 and can’t imagine this game is better overall, but I’ll give it a go.

What system did you get this for? I am loving this game a lot, the single player story is kinda silly if you ask me, multiplayer is where its at.
