Anyone looking forward to this? I really like BC2, but haven't been playing it long.

Call of Duty will go head-to-head with Battlefield 3 in 2011.

The third game in the series, which will be shown to press during the Game Developers Conference in San Francisco next month, is set for release this coming fall, Electronic Arts confirmed.

The publisher revealed the first teaser trailer for the game on its official website tonight. The trailer, which contains no actual gameplay, displays quick cuts of helicopters, ground troops, tanks and fighter jets.

Additional details courtesy of the official Battlefield Blog confirm a full single-player and co-op campaign, jets, prone, and 64-player multiplayer for the PC version. The Frostbite 2 engine will power the game and a Limited Edition will be revealed around GDC.

Developer DICE confirmed earlier this morning it was canceling the release of Battlefield 1943 and the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Onslaught pack for PC.

Black Ops was done by Treyacrh who have always ridden IW's coattails.

Black Ops looks like a cartoon to me when playing it.

I will never buy a Treyarch game again. It's complete amateur hour over there.

Would this be the copy of BFBC2 to get?

It says, "also includes a VIP code granting access to a multitude of downloadable map packs". I assume that's talking about the Vietnam expansion?

It does get you additional maps, but not Vietnam.

The Vietnam pack is an add on that's about $15 I think.

yea they were pretty good over the last year by releasing new maps and new game types on existing maps for free if you had the vip edition.

Vietnam is separate, but it really is like a whole different game.

So if I'm just getting BFBC2 to get me up to speed before BF3 comes out, do I need the extra DL content? I may just save a few bucks and get the original version.

I just bought BFBC2 as well...

If your playing online I would say yes, if your just playing the game through then no. Online play is limited when you don't have the add-ons because you can't play in all the maps, but I would say you can probably skip Vietnam all together unless you really want it.

I also highly recommend this video to help you in BC2.....no offense intended either, it really would have helped me in the beginning.

You should get BFBC2 for two reasons:

1. It's a ****ing awesome game.

2. You're going to need the practice for when BF3 is released. Like COD, BF is one of those games that has an extremely high learning curve thus for it really to be fun you need to be one of the better players. Since everyone is pretty good it takes really knowing everything about the game that much more important.

Usually with these games i suck for the first couple months and then get as good as most of the other players. But by that time my K/D is already ****ed so I end up with it hovering around 1.00...

I want to be north of K/D 1.50 for BF3. For that reason I think you should get BFBC2.

I would get everything except Vietnam.

Vietnam is really fun though, but try the original first to make sure you like.

BF3 is going to feel very different from BF:BC2 because it'll be running on a brand new engine, I'd imagine.

Apparently you can turn your head in a different direction than your body.

I'm probably taking "Homefront" back tonight (what a turd) and picking up BBC2; never played any of the installments.

Don't expect it to be anything like COD, it's completely different. The shooting and killing part is a lot more clumsy, and you WILL need people you know to play it with. It's not very fun to play by yourself. It's a great game, though. The BF series is right up there with the best of all time, a real pillar in the history of games.

thanks; good info; didn't realize you needed folks to play with etc.

Don't get me wrong, it's totally playable by yourself, it's just not very fun it your team isn't working like one. BF:BC2 is ALL about good teamwork and it's build completely around that aspect.
