So what's the point of the Carl Gustav then?

[Destiny]

Shooting at people I guess?

I just found this snippet in the Bash & Slash "MW2 State of the Union". As usual Jockyitch seems pretty bang on:

BFBC2 will pick up some of the discarded hardcore community, but more than likely, it will just share them. BFBC2 will not compete with MW2. It's a different game. Some of the social (clan-based) gamers and tactical guys will head over to BFBC2, while the lone-wolfers and andrenaline junkies will stay on MW2. The games are different.

Different enough to realize that there really is no direct competitor to CoD.

Up-market FPS's are very expensive to make and it is that very high barrier to entry that has meant that only two companies are seriously competing for marketshare: EA and Activision.

Lately, only Activision has shown the ability to make visceral, heart-pounding excitement that appeal to a vast army of gamers.

This has made Activision a defacto monopoly in "purist" shooters. EA's Battlefield franchise adds a large mechanized element that carves out its own niche, but I'm talking about foot soldier versus foot soldier combat.

I think he's defined the difference in the games almost perfectly. The two are very different experiences, hence why after several months of being an 'adrenaline junkie' (shame he can't spell), I find the gameplay of BFBC harder to get into. I guess it's just going to take some time.

^ Bang on. That is exactly what I've been trying to say all along.

All things battlefield week 6 blog post!

Demo video!



And also found an AWESOME pic on their Twitter

[TheDR]

If only that picture was bigger
I'm really looking forward to the release.

[amazin]

wait, how are you guys using guns like the colt and F2000?

the demo only has basic guns and the first unlocks for each class

[Pav:3d]

^PC version has extra stuff in it :(

[TheDR]

PC = Beta testing (Rank 11 Limit, so all the unlocks up to Rank 11, the rest have stuff like 10000500 to unlock )

Console = Demo

I can't wait to see what they have fixed/added for the PC, I'm hoping it will be good news.

The CG's better for attacking buildings and infantry, while the RPG packs more punch against vehicles.

[Kalo]

Or for hitting Helicopters.

[deltaepsilon]

Helicopters being flown at decent altitudes by good pilots are nigh impossible to take down with RPGs or CG's, they either have to do something really stupid like land amongst a bunch of enemies, or fly slowly at a low altitude.

Though once, I managed to kill a chopper at medium altitude and its two crewmembers by firing an RPG straight in its general direction, pretty damn lucky shot.

[Destiny]

Well I managed to guide a TOW into a guy who spawned who was parachuting down and...boom. Forgot to take a screenie though.

Was in a fire fight as an Engineer. Pulled out what I thought was my colt 45. Twas a tracer dart instead! That guy ran so fucking fast when he realized what I had done. It's incredibly satisfying to RPG someone running around an entirely different corner.

[Destiny]

Woah, that's even more cruel


Anyways...something random.

How about "Both are equally good in their own respects and should stop going into each others territories. I'm talking to you DICE."

[deltaepsilon]

Anybody else think the Saiga-12 is really kick-ass?

[Destiny]

Yeah the Saiga 12k is awesome, but I picked the XM8 or something when I got it because I want to shoot at those pesky helis too

[Foxhound]

Does anyone know how to get the RPG and Gustav to actually lock on to tracers?

[Destiny]

I'm not really sure, but I theorize it's when someone/thing has been traced and that orange box will appear with a distance of x meters, from what I've seen personally via RPG scope. I didn't shoot though, I thought it was part of my specialization.
