Bad Company 2 Squad Deathmatch

This game looks better and better every time I see a new video.

I'm really glad they are putting in new game types, and the 50. cal with red dot = customization is endless.

 

Yeah, this looks interesting. New multiplayer options are always good as long as they don't take away from Gold Rush. I'm too much of a lone wolf to partake in other squad centric gametypes.

 

I have played the demo last night for a good few hours, it's.. meh.

I don't really see it as a bold step forward, and new gamemodes like this are hardly difficult to include, these should have been available in the first game.

The graphics are definately an improvement, but like the transition from Vegas 1 to 2, making the game much sharper actually makes it appear less believable and realistic. Bad Company 1 had a very noisy and humid appearance, and it was a trick on the eyes but it worked. With this game, it looks bare, and environmental effects look alone within a very stark location.

Yes you can customize any weapon, and on the demo there are 3 scope improvements and another optional one (usually guard rail or accuracy improvements) The scopes vary, with the sniper ones offering a bonus from 2 to 4x, then to 8x then the red dot.

There are also kit enhancements such as more ammo, better armour, faster movement, but they aren't that noticable and are easy to achieve, so theres little strategy to that.

The game plays exactly the same on gold rush. Obviously the maps will be much more varied and exciting, but i still feel gameplay is too slow for me. You need to invest a good 30 minutes into a game, and gameplay varies so much with random people that one game you could be running around doing nothing, then the next you could be going crazy getting 50 odd kills in a tank.
