Thread: The Multiplayer

I have played the multiplayer for a little while now, and I'm really enjoying it. There are a couple of features it does lack, like being able to view your ping in-game, but overall its a nice, well made game. In my opinion Call of Duty 4 has competition. Check out the Singleplayer post for more information on the story and game workings.



The game controls take a little time to get used to and you have to adjust to the new weapons and vehicles. This like the collapsible buildings really make the game interesting. You can't be safe, even if you hide! There are four game-types;

Squad Deathmatch - Squads with up to 4 players all play against each other all at the same time, like Team Death Match.
Rush - One team defends M-com Stations, whilst the other team attacks it.
Squad Rush - Like normal Rush, but in squads of four players, two M-com Stations, each team has to attack the enemy station whilst defending their own.
Conquest - Like Capture the Flag, the enemy team has to take control of the other teams flags, whilst you have to take control of the enemies.

The rank up system is a lot like most games, you rank up by getting kills, special kills and doing new things. Whilst you rank up, you unlock new weapons and perks.



The game is a little buggy in places, but with patches they will be fixed. The Punkbuster INT failures have already been sorted with a server patch. There are three ways to connect to a server, through the Server Browser, Through a Play Now system or by joining your friends game.

The Game Server browser just displays a list of all the active Battlefield BC2 servers, displaying their name, game-type, map, players and ping. You have a filter to for Game-type, Map, (un)Ranked, Not Full/ Empty, No Pass, Punkbuster. As well as a search feature. You can get full information on a server by clicking Server Info from the drop down.



The Play Now system will find a set of servers that suit you, you choose a game-type and a map you like and the game will find a server close to you that is not full or empty.



You can join friends through the friends tab on the Main Menu, the information shown, is very simple, the Friend Name, Server, Map and Players. From here you can also compare you and your friends statistics.



Game servers have a maximum of 32 slots. There are a wide selection of maps, from small ones to large open ones. Snow, jungle and desert. Parachutes, tanks and quads.

• Panama Canal
• Laguna Alta
• Atacama Desert
• White Pass
• Laguna Presa
• Valparaiso
• Isla Inocentes
• Arica Harbor
• Port Valdez

The game has a pretty nice stats system built into it, recording you kills, deaths, accuracy, your best weapons, etc..



Killcam displays the location and statistics of the person who killed you. At the end of every game you get a report of the game, showing the best players and your stats.

I like that they implemented 2 possibilities to join the game, somewhat trying to make IW and activision bite their nails hehe. btw what's the max number of slots supported?

32 slots is the maximum.

I would get it, if i was you. I really like the game, the multiplayer is very good, and the singleplayer has some pretty fine gameplay.

Blunks - what's your in-game name? I could add you and play together if you'd like to.

Sure add me.

Will add a little bit about the friends system tomorrow
