Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is the second installment in this spin-off Battlefield series. It has a more serious campaign and a vastly expanded multiplayer system.
Them screens are really impressive. Can't wait to see some real in-game footage. I hope for the Beta to start soon. I really want to see some unedited direct-feed footage of Battlefield : Bad Company 2.
Since they're official screenshots, I guess they've been tampered with a little. This generation console games don't have this kind of AA. I guess it will look this good on high-end gaming PCs. But it sure as hell is pretty on the 360 and PS3 too. The demos given at E3, San Diego ComicCon and GamesCom where all on Xbox and PS3. Check out the Gametrailers interview from E3 with some nice (and currently only) direct feed footage of the 360 version in it's alpha state (the demo shown this far is pre-pre-alpha).
I don't know any current game, with that amazing vistas, such highly interactive environments and that much going on, on consoles or PC. Crysis comes close, it has dynamic destruction of shacks and trees, but no ground deformation and less vehicles.
Anyways, the demo is old, it's pre-alpha-state, it's 360 footage taken at E3, where the attendees were playing against EA Romania, hence there is some lag (the RPG at the chopper). Then there is the video compression from recording and encoding for streaming.
Even without factoring all this circumstances into the judgment, it looks fantastic on video already. In fact very close to the official screenshots. I bet, that it will scale to look like the screenshots on high-end PCs. With AA and whatnot.
It's gonna have a singleplayer campaign. Preston, Sweetwater, Haggard and Sarge are still at it. Most likely the whole campaign will be 4 player co-op enabled. I guess the guys from the Bad Company have started off a full fledged russian Invasion of North America with their shennanigans in the first BF:BC.
There's gonna be 4 multiplayer modes. Conquest (classic BF) and Rush (aka Goldrush - my personal favourite), as well as two unannounced modes. Rumors have it, that the Titan mode (known from BF 2142) will make a return. Most believe, the 4th mode will be something along the lines of 'Horde' mode, as seen in Gears of War.
Anyways - BF : BC 2 will be one thight package. One hell of a vaule.
