The lobby system is the only thing I'm worried about. I want to choose my servers based on ping.
Anyone who gives this less than 8 is smoking crack. This game has changed FPSs for the better, and I can't wait to see the next game that uses Frostbite.

Hey mods, can we get a report button for poor spelling?
1) Anonymous dude on the net says that 360 version is better, but can't be bothered to describe why.
2) Every real game journalist on and off the net says that they are essentially equal.
Who do I believe?
Well, first, XBox360 core doesn't have a Blu-ray yet.
Second, they probably sent the code for printing about the same time as the XBox beta finished, after they got complaints about the lack of conquest, so they weren't able to put it on the disc. It does suck for core players, but I think it's unavoidable in this case.
Says the white guy. Racism ain't funny when it's a joke either.
No...he pointed out that the game was an "homage". Either they don't know what the word means, or they only started playing video games in 2007 and have no f*cking clue how much COD4 copied from BF2.
And how can you say that two realistic shooters are copying gameplay elements from each other? Realistic means they are copying from real life.
I hate stupid people.
You racist f*ck, did you even read the article? Plenty of people like FPSs in Japan, it just talked about why the people who don't like them, don't. COD4 is huge in Japan, AND on the PS3.
Some of you people are stuck in the f*cking stone ages with your portrayal of Japanese people, including Kotaku. Their name is a play on a Japanese word, and they are STILL completely retarded.
If COD4 is the best FPS you've ever played, you've never played an FPS on PC. I think maybe your expectations for BC were a bit too high. Because it's awesome.
Yes, I'm emotional about it. It would be a travesty if COD4, which has a horrible online lobby, short matches, no variety, and no vehicles, were to be considered a better game than this.
Hmmm. She'd probably a bit older than you. She may break you.
Though if you're willing to try, apparently she likes young men.
Edit: Yes, we WILL see.
p.s. I get last word.
p.p.s. BF:BC rocks!
p.p.p.s. I am not nor have I ever been employed by DICE, EA, it's franchisees, franchisers, McDonald's, Dodge, or any of their affiliated companies, spokespersons, ad agencies, or families. I did work at Laser Quest though.
I doubt that most people are with you dude. Maybe the little kids who don't understand how far game play has come since Wolf3D etc., and maybe the nerds who think that graphics should leap and bound rather than take baby steps.
But anyone, absolutely anyone, who has been playing FPSs for longer than 3 years, will look at this game in absolute wonder.
I should say anyone who doesn't have IW's peener in their mouth.
We know what good is, and this demo is g...
I don't understand what people want out of an FPS.
Destroyable stuff? Check. Better graphics than COD4? Check. Vehicles? Check. Huge maps? Check. Hectic fighting that doesn't degrade into spawn camping? Check.
Anyone who thinks that COD is better than BF:BC needs to get their heads out of Infinity Ward's ass, and into DICE's.
Seriously. After playing that demo, I'm BAFFLED by the people in this thread who actually think COD4 is better. I have never been ...
Screw you people who said that this game sucked. It is freaking awesome.
I don't even play MGS, and I think you're a dikh0le.
The Wii's Forever Blue is a great game, and Afrika looks something like it. Though it doesn't take too long to complete, Forever Blue has a lot of replay value, especially for those with kids.
I will be buying Afrika right out of the gate. It looks beautiful.
Dude, I'm white and from Canada, and I'm proud of Obama. It ain't just international, it's interracial.
On topic: I will be buying this.
Yakuza isn't that popular a game, the sales are okay, but only among otaku. It's not in the same league as Metal Gear.
And where have you seen a lot of MGS advertisements? I haven't seen any on TV at all.
I haven't seen any ads in Japan other than in the gaming mags.
edit: Now that I think about it, I think there may be some on the trains as well.
DICE already said that due to the feedback from the beta, they are adding a lot of different things, including conquest.
Yeah, that last WWII shooter set in the Pacific theatre sucked. What was it again? Oh. Right. MOH - Pacific Assault.
Well, that was an okay game. But it was too recent for me to care about a new game with a mediocre (COD4) engine. What was it? 4 years ago? Too recent.
And what was that other game set in the Pacific? Oh! Right! Battlefield 1942 had a couple of Pacific maps! And BF1942 sucked, everyone who has ever played PC shooters knows that the BF series did nothin...
