While the majority of gamers are waiting impatiently for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, I find myself looking forward to Bad Company 2 more. Something about the wide-variety of vehicles and completely destructible environment appeals to me far more than the limited Modern Warfare 2. Electronic Arts has revealed their plans for the Limited Edition and thankfully there are no night-vision goggles to be found.
Everything contained in the Limited Edition can be unlocked by normal players throughout the course of the game. However, ordering the Limited Edition will give you access to the following on day one:
Four vehicle warfare unlocks
* Improved Vehicle Armor – An up-armor package is mounted on all vehicle types, decreasing the effect of both explosive and penetrating warheads, significantly improving vehicle survivability.
* Supreme Vehicle Firepower – Additional weapon packages are mounted for the driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expanding the range of targets the vehicle can successfully engage and destroy.
* Vehicle Motion Sensor – Use this electronics warfare package to locate enemy units in direct proximity to the vehicle.
* Tracer Dart Pistol – This magnetic dart attaches to any vehicle surface, allowing squad members to track, lock on, and fire rockets onto moving targets even beyond line of sight.
Two classic Battlefield 1943 weapons
* M1A1 Submachine Gun – Reliable but heavy this classic weapon is a powerful force in the hands of any Battlefield veteran.
* M1911 Pistol – Highly customized M1911 are favored for its dependability and the power of its large .45 caliber round.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available on March 2, 2010 in North America for the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system, the PlayStation3 computer entertainment system and the PC. The game will be available on March 5, 2010 in Europe.
Battlefield 1943 blew the doors off the XBLA Marketplace, selling a mammoth 600,000 copies in just three days to become the fastest selling arcade game in the platform’s history. It’s a well-deserved success for a truly awesome game that finds me returning night after night for my fix.
Unfortunately, not all is well in the world of Battlefield as a few glaring problems are increasingly annoying the shit out of me. Worse, EA/DICE aren’t copping to any issues and are acting like too many other game companies by simply burying their head in the sand while they count your money.
If you are new to the Battlefield series and are looking for tips and tactics, then I recommend you read the original Battlefield 1943 Strategy Guide. It covers the basics like class loadouts, how to fight as a squad, securing objectives, etc. With the fundamentals under your belt, you are now ready to raise your game to the next level. What follows are several tricks and tactics I use that consistently find me racking up tons of points and ruling the leaderboard using nothing more than a tank.
The Tank is my primary tool of destruction, though if you don’t know what you’re doing then you won’t survive long using one. On the battlefield tanks are usually the primary target for enemy attack, getting hit with grenades, mines, bazookas and grenade launchers which can quickly tear apart your vehicle. However, with these tactics you should be able to roll right over your opponents and on to victory.
Battlefield 1943 has finally arrived on XBLA and PSN and that can only mean one thing: tons of n00bs who don’t know what they’re doing are clogging the servers. Fortunately, that means easy points for those us who are well-versed in the Battlefield series. On the downside, these n00bs will invariably be on your team, making victory a long-shot at best.
Time to shed that n00b label, people. Having a solid understanding of what you’re doing and how best to get it done benefits everyone. Enough intro, let’s get to the good stuff.
Classes
There are three classes in Battlefield 1943 for any style of play: read more…
I’ve been waiting for Battlefield 1943 since it was first announced and thankfully the wait is almost over. Battlefield 1943 is a downloadable game hitting Xbox Live Arcade on July 8th, with an appearance on the PlayStation network the following day. DICE is delving into new territory with this release and if it turns out to be a success then we can expect other developers to offer up AAA titles at budget prices.
Unlike most titles offered on XBLA and PSN, Battlefield 1943 will look, sound and play like a retail game. It uses an enhanced Frostbite engine that powered Battlefield: Bad Company, though it has one important new feature: complete structure demolition.
