Battlefield Online? - Page 2

Righto, played for half of a round or so. This definitely tries to compete with TF2 and I must say it was great fun! It's fast paced, the players can take quite a bit of damage before they die. The sounds are great! Laughed my arse off when a burning brit ran past me screamin "OUCH OUCH OUCH!".

The tanks dont seem to be the usual kill-it-all death machines which is always nice. Graphics were nice too, very similar to TF2. Just too bad there was no planes in the mission.

Ow and getting into the game was pain in the butt. It seems that you cant just go to the folder, find the exe and click it, it wont connect. Instead you have to go to the BFH's site and click the big arse yellow "PLAY NOW" button, which then checks for updates and launches the game with no problems.

IMO, this is a great possibility for EA to get atleast a tiny bit of respect back from the players, but I'm sure they will mess it up with something like "Give us 10€ and you get this gun that shoots polar bears that then proceed to kill every farking one in the map, making you the best player of the server".

I'll be waiting for the full thing alot, had very good time crashing a jeep to a Sherman and trying to run like a sissy away from the tank.

Did Dowly turn into some kind of professional game reviewer when I wasn't looking?

You clearly were on a long trip to Mars. Dowly is the new official reviewer here at Subsim , and his analysis is far superior to those quacks at Gamespot and IGN.

Ummm... f**knuggets.

EDIT: I think I might clarify this abit. I dont review games nor do I wish to. Reviewers play their games with and open mind and all that poo. I play my games, remember what I PERSONALLY didnt like or did like in it and might just say it here. Anyone who decides whether to buy or not a game based on my "review" is stupid.

Let's take an example, Men of War. It plays pretty similar as Soldier: Heroes of WWII. And that's what I didnt like it, it's too similar. And add the bad voice acting (if a company cant hire proper voice actors, IMO they arent really trying to make a good game) and few things, it sucks in my opinion. But for someone who doesnt care about the little bits (points at Stabiz) enjoys the game.

A second good example would be ArmA, as a 'new game' I'd give it maybe 2/10, but it's fun to play, it has almost nothing new compared to OFP, but it's great fun in multiplayer. And with that, I can forgive alot of the singleplayer faults it has.

It's alla about personal opinion. Some like that type of games, I like others, and what I have to say about them, is 100% my opinion.

True, your opinion is unbiased , and that's exactly why I read your reviews. Because there are rumours that some of these reviewers at gamespot and IGN are actually paid to do a decent review

Anyway, those remarks of mine were clearly over the top and not intended to be taken seriously. Meanwhile, post some screenshots of BF ONLINE or make some videos

I actually recorded everything from my first try on BFH, but sadly, my FRAPS has been FUBAR for quite some time now. The output is crap, stutters etc. etc. so I deleted the recordings.
