This is really the cause of the sniper-heavy teams some have complained about: when there's a completely linear map with a ten yard wide stretch of land all attackers have to pass through, it's only natural that there will be a lot of snipers. When we get proper game modes the full game will be excellent.

I've been having a lot of fun with the demo on the 360. 
 
It'll be a day one purchase for sure, but I'm still torn between getting it on the 360 or PC.

@FireBurger:  The engy has the weakest weapons to start. When he gets the ak47-su, trust me, he becomes MUCH better.

I've been playing the PC beta non-stop since completing Mass Effect 2. I haven't gotten tired of playing the same map over and over again and that bodes well for me getting good use out of the full copy.

If only people actually knew how to fly helicopters like in the video. Whenever I board one, we end up on our side 10 seconds later.

I was sold on this as soon as Battlefield  went on the box. DICE is a master of their craft and i will continue to love them dearly. 
 
I am getting it on PS3 and not the PC this time simply because my vid card seems to be overheating a lot.

The beta is pretty fun but I'm still much more interested to see how the single player turns out.

There's gonna be an alternate 'realism mode' setting for all multiplayer gamemodes. Amongst other things, like Friendly Fire On, it will feature much higher damage from any source.
 
So really, there's no problem here.

Rumors have it, that it'll ship with 16 maps. Each with 4 layouts for the respective gamemodes. 10 have already been unveiled by fansites such as PlanetBattlefield.

I love the Battlefield series and Bad Company 2 can be a lot of fun. Unfortunately for myself, I cannot look past the the PC controls, performance issues and design choices. This is one of those games that I want to love more than I do.

No. The progress you made in the demo is separate from the retail game. However with the Limited Edition, you get pretty much all of the unlocks that are in the demo from the start. But it really only takes one evening of game time to unlock everything in the demo anyway.

Preordered this on Steam. Been playing the PC beta. It's awesome. I've also tried the 360 demo. Mostly just for fun and I wanted to compare the graphics. BC1 was one of the reasons why I a PC games enthusiast got a 360.

One thing I miss on the 360 demo, and apparently the PS3 demo doesn't have it either, are the BF drums that play when you drop in as a paratrooper. It's a small detail and they will mostly like add that touch to the console versions or remove it from the PC version, but I love BF's theme song and I get really amped up every time I hear it.

" I've been playing the demo and this is WAY better than the 1st in multiplayer. The biggest thing is shooting guns at people actually kills them not like in the 1st it taking a whole magazine to take someone down. "

That's actually my biggest problem with the demo. People still take way too many bullets, in my opinion. The worst is the engineer. They're no where near good enough at destroying vehicles to warrant their absolute weakness against infantry.  I'll definitely be playing hardcore where the damage should hopefully be better. 
 
Overall, the demo is good, but it still has some issues with controls, and, like I said, damage. Still getting it, but I was hoping for a little more. Also, none of those guns are in the demo...

I have played more of the BF:BC2 demo this week that MW2, which is a complete game.   Maybe it is the novelty, but I like Battlefield more.
