Dice confirms 3d view and hardcore mode

Patrick Bach, senior producer for Battlefield: Bad Company 2, confirms that the pc version of Bad Company 2 will support Nvidia's 3d view.

Bach also confirms a hardcore mode and reveals some of details about it.

-Alpha5947d ago

Hardcore has been confirmed for ages

TheIneffableBob5947d ago

It's actually playable in the PC beta.

InFAMOUS15947d ago

I never knew hardcore mode was added.. I played the BETA and was turned off, but with harcore mode confirmed I am going to preorder this puppy next week..

ScoobyDrew5947d ago

damn, if only hardcore was in the console versions... that would make this game that much better...

kwicksandz5947d ago

having played the hardcore mode it wasnt all that i expected.

No spotting at all makes co ordinated attacks a bit harder. At least the UAV or squad leader should still be able to spot

no crosshairs on any gun. Makes stationary turrets, shotguns and the tracer pistiol impossible to aim.

on the plus side you feel like you can actually kill some one with an aussault rifle and snipers are a 1 hit kill

id prefer an inbetween mode. Spotting + crosshairs + map but increased bullet dmg

sikbeta5947d ago

Man I'm So tempted to buy a Nvidia 3D kit, 3D for Everything will be Just Awesome

Gamers FTW!!!

Fanb0y5947d ago

Really? I heard hardcore mode was on consoles as well - it just wasn't in our demo.

The one thing I'm really looking forward to is no more spotting. I got way too used to spamming that select button to find my enemies, and it's a habit. I want to actually use my eyesight to find them. Aargh!

S4NDM4N5947d ago

Don't give COD4 credit. They pretty much took out from people who made it as a mod. Harcore mode has been made for pretty much every PC FPS game as a mod.

Project Reality on BF2 was phenomenal, so I wonder how hardcore mode will stack up

See you in the 2d softcore mode...

Yes Im a poor noob :(

Killjoy30005947d ago

It seems like the only Battlefield news is old Battlefield news these days. I need more single player footage.

ironmonkey5947d ago

confirmed for hardcore gamers

chewmystink5946d ago

I have Nvidia 3d vision, we need more game developers to start adopting the emerging 3D tech.
It is pretty awesome when a game doesn't have any issues using the Nvidia 3d vision.
We have to await game profiles to be updated a lot of the times, like Bioshock 2 was meant to support from the get go but it isn't the case unfortunately.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC821d ago (Edited 821d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga821d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics821d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend820d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long821d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons821d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor821d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52820d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602820d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor821d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B820d ago (Edited 820d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

OtterX895d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled895d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa895d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno894d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac894d ago (Edited 894d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast894d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial894d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv721159d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel1159d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon1158d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim1158d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai1159d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane13411159d ago (Edited 1159d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai1159d ago (Edited 1159d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane13411159d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma3131158d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald1158d ago (Edited 1158d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra1158d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai1158d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra1158d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade1158d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra1157d ago (Edited 1157d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno1159d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz1491158d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop1158d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb1158d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole1159d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled1158d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
