    Like all these games these days, it’s a port of a 4? 5? year old console.

    Assuming it’s a half decent conversion, any kind of dual core machine with a 60 quid graphics card should run it. Makes you wonder how good PC games could be if someone actually did games for them.

    I’ve pre-ordered this on PC but the “special edition” I got for 24 quid has put me off a bit – loads of “special guns” for multiplayer to give you a head start. Bollocks to that, can’t effing abide this idea in an FPS multiplayer games where you get unlocks.

    On the other hand, it does look decent so I’ll give it a chance. Just finished Borderlands though and I’d be surprised if this is half as good.

    I hate this as well, and it’s one of the biggest turn offs for me when it comes to MW2 for example. TF2 is the only game I’ve seen where unlocks have been implemented properly, as any advantage a weapon has over it’s vanilla counterpart carries with it a significant drawback, which means someone carrying a vanilla gun, can counter the advantage by his tactical approach. I really doubt EA put the same time and effort into game balance as Valve do though, especially considering previous games in the BF series, and in particular aircraft 🙁

    I disagree – I love the unlocks in MW2; gives you something to aim towards… (pun intended!)

    The addons for weapons are great too… Admit it – you dont know what you are talking baout!

    That’s not really what I mean Turks, I don’t mind the giving people something to aim for thing, but unlockables which are just better weapons, unbalance a game.

    I didnt find an issue with BFBC1 regarding unlocks, I thought it was rather balanced regardless of what new weapon you had, same with MW2, some own with a pray and spray unlockable uzi, I owned with teh single shot FAL.. it all depends I spose

    Word on the grapevine is one of the maps to be included in BFBC2 at some point will be a remake of Strike at Kharkand (or whatever its name was) from BF2

    Sounds rather sexy that!

    Appears that there will be some WWII maps also in BFBC2.. Looks to be a new map as apposed to a remade one..

    Well been playing the beta for a little while now.

    Its not bad (if its finished when they release it) but its no BF3.

    Will fill in some time, plus i’ve had some good games even when its still a beta. As with anything like this it depends alot on the people on the server.

    Oh and the heli’s are already pissing me off :mrgreen:

    Well if they do eventually kill off PC games by doing cheap ports, I wonder if they will release the next wave of consoles with at least the option of a mouse/keyboard control? It would make them more viable (internet browsing) plus would make them ideal for FPS games…. win win for all ?

    On a side note I wonder if Nvidia/ATI are beginning to get a bit nervous with the decline in the PC games market. There’s no other reason to need £200 graphics cards other than games. Even then the software often lags behind the hardware development.

    360 all the way.

    The demo on 360 is very enjoyable and easy to play 😀

    Pretty sure that video was a console version too.
