Aftrunner Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Ok the Infinity ward/CoD guys could learn a lesson or two from this. The BF BC 2 community manager was asked why certain features were present in the PC version of the game. Alright Sulla, here is a discussion on the issue from DICE's viewpoint on a range of topics. DICE feels that because the console versions of the game is at such a lower resolution (1280x720), compared to PC resolutions (as high as 2560x1600), that prone was breaking the fast paced action of the game and that it was too camper friendly. When DICE played with prone on consoles other players were nearly impossible to see while prone (until it was too late), and the matches often resulted in a camping festival between the defending team and the attacking team, complete with smores and campfire songs. The overall atmosphere felt slow, and the game wasn’t at its full fast-paced potential. When DICE played the matches with the prone turned off, it forced camping players to put more thought into their hiding spots, and it gave the attackers less of a disadvantage being able to see who was shooting at them and resulted in more fast paced gameplay. People like yourself can go on and on about how in real life prone is the most important battle stance in a firefight, but obviously this isn’t real life, and you should play ARMA2 or something if you really want it, or purchase the PC version . Now, the reasons the PC platform are getting seemingly “better” features in the game are a result of DICE ignoring the PC user base for the past 3-4 years and this is a homage to the PC platform, and also because it’s a lot of things that PC users simply deserve. If you have played games on the PC for the last ten years you would know what I’m talking about, otherwise I won’t even try to explain... Also, k1ll8 saurav is completely correct about the difference of player’s between PC and consoles, and dedicated servers for PC’s are a must for any game like this on a PC platform, so don’t take it the wrong way. I don’t know DICE’s stance on clan support for the console version at this time, they have been back and forth on the topic and I don’t know why. If I find out I’ll let you know Regarding player count on the pc…PC’s for obvious reason have much more powerful tech, thus allowing much more flexibility with things such as increased player count, so it would be flat out stupid to not take advantage of this and make the game more worthy of being on the PC instead of a direct port from a console version. You may say that this isn’t fair, but it really is and everything balances out (hey, we don’t get a slick Xbox LIVE interface and if I wanted that then I should play the xbox version). If you wanted a more powerful game, you should have bought a more powerful platform, plain and simple. Prone- I don’t consider prone a real feature to get all excited about for the PC version, but I suppose people like you have proven me wrong. Regardless, as of right now prone is not going to be on the console version and I gave the reasons above. Last but not least, the PC platform is usually expected to put up with a lot more “crap” compared to consoles. While consoles may get the game on a certain date, PC users typically have to wait much longer for the same game, but in turn, they get the game for a lower price because there are no licensing fees like consoles have, and typically they get a few more perks thrown in compared to consoles just for good measure. PC customers are a much tougher crowd then consoles are so we have to appeal to them in as many ways as possible, but why not? They deserve it after having a steady history of constantly getting the shaft. Also on a side note, If it wasn’t for the PC platform you wouldn’t be playing the game on consoles right now. Anyway, regarding prone -because there is still plenty of dev time, there is a slim chance in can end up implemented in the game... but because of the reasons I stated above I want to emphasize that it is definitely a slim chance.

nash Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Whoa! Love for the PC. /hugs DICE. Will not diss a BF game again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrl_alt_del Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 I am bit confused. Is prone in the PC version in or out? Wondering which version should I go for. Never played a BF game on PC before. Are the dedicated servers any good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Battlefield on the PC is tits. I remember killing BF2142 like crazy online. Most of the servers I played on were like 100 - 150 ping, which btw is totally playable contrary to what a lot of you may think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrl_alt_del Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Ahhh good. Maybe I will go with the PC version then. It still months away though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 Yeah. Also the PC version is gonna be DX 11 right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrl_alt_del Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 DX 11 is it? I have no clue! I would be playing it on DX 10 anyways. Are any of the characters returning? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nash Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 DX 11 is it? I have no clue! I would be playing it on DX 10 anyways. Are any of the characters returning? I think they all are. At a recent AMD conference they did mention the fact that DICE's Frostbite engine would be DX11 for PC so... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler Posted October 21, 2009 Report Share Posted October 21, 2009 You're vouching for a game that features renegade army soldiers who aren't the least bit patriotic and seem to care only about the gold. Don't get me wrong, I love Bad Company but it's quite out of character for you, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they were patriotic theyd be to America or UK not towards India, they are not our soldiers so it really does not matter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 (edited) they are not patriotic towards any country, they just care about gold. If u have made an image, please stick it to it. and can u drive cars and stuff innit ?? Edited October 22, 2009 by Nemo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarketTantrik Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 and can u drive cars and stuff innit ?? Wrong context for that slang usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctrl_alt_del Posted October 22, 2009 Report Share Posted October 22, 2009 Yes, drivable vehicles are a big part of any Battlefield game. So will be the case with Bad Company 2 as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is what the wiki article says -- Criterion Games have been recruiting developers to work on their next project titled "Black: Second Mission", which contradicts their statement earlier that there are "no plans" for a sequel. and gamespot has this page -- http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/black2/index.html So maaaaaybe. But not really in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
