Ok di interviste,screenshot,video quello che volete ormai su BF2 ne escono 2 volte al giorno.

Tanto che ormai mi pare di averci giocato da 2 mesi.

Sapete tutto del gameplay ormai,io non ci sto + dentro da quando sono curioso,questo che era partito come un gioco clonefattomeglio (e mi sarei acontentato! ) di Desert Combat si sta man mano rivelando un gioco GROSSO....ma tanto grosso...nella sua semplicità.

Quando ho visto i video del clan LRRP mi è venuta la pulce al naso...una gran bella pulce,la fanteria, sembrava di vedere Counter Strike.

A quanto pare la similitudine non è sbagliata.

Ora,ho saltato (vuoi perchè non è neanche il suo forum) volutamente migliaia di preview,ma questa è leggermente diversa,è fatta da un ragazzo di 20 anni che se anche è il webmaster del fan site n°1,cioè Total Battlefield 2 ,restano sempre le impressioni di un ragazzo qualsiasi che non lo fa per lavoro.

IL tipo in questione è questo e si è pure portato a casa una 6600GT al torneo Nvidia di BF2

Prima fa un breve prologo di quello che ha dovuto sorbirsi per guadagnarsi una delle postazioni di BF2

Since Battlefield 2 was first announced in 2004, I’ve watched its every move. I’ve seen every screen shot and video, and I’ve read every article at least ten times over. If you frequent the IGN forums, you’ll know that I’m in love with a game that I’ve never played (before today that is).

Battlefield 1942 built the framework for the ultimate multiplayer war simulation. Planes, jeeps, tanks, boats, infantry combat, artillery, incredibly large maps, whichever way you wanted to wage battle, you could do it.

1942 was way ahead of it’s time, but that doesn’t mean that it had a long way to go in several key game play aspects. There were always several flaws in the game, the largest being the cumbersome and stiff infantry combat system. Teamwork was practically nonexistent, with Rambo’s running rampant on every server. After playing BF1942 and DC for several years, I was ready for something better.

For me, BF2 seemed like a dream game that had every feature I could possibly want. DICE promised to integrate teamwork into BF2 unlike any game before it. It would have a command structure that included a commander with access to powerful and helpful tools, a legitimate squad system, and built-in voice communication. Rankings would bring long-term substance to the FPS genre. Players could make a name for themselves over years of game play. Other prominent features would include beautiful graphics (as well as dynamic lighting), a physics system, and laser-guided bombs.

After spending around three hours with the game over the past three days, I can safely say that BF2 has exceeded my expectations, and for someone who expected an astonishing game, that means something. Before I get into my impressions of the game, I wanted to share with you guys my experience at the E3 show here in Los Angeles.

There are three locations at the expo that are showcasing BF2, and those include the EA “Ring of Doom” room, the Windows gaming area, and the nVidia booth. There are 32 players playing the game at all times. There’s always a huge waiting line for access to the controls, so there’s never less than 32 people playing. Over at the nVidia booth, a BF2 competition started on the second day of the show. There were six players at the nVidia booth competing against the rest of the people scattered around the show floor. I was one of those six players.

The big prize was a 6600 GT, and second place would receive an Intel P4 3.4 GHz. Long story short, I won the 6600 GT. I came in first place and was absolutely thrilled. There were over a hundred people standing around the area watching us play on six large monitors above the stage. Here are some shots:

Ora passa al gioco (Pek il nostro traduttore simultaneo farà una traduzione di sicuro...io posso tradurvelo a grandi linee e qualcuno avrebbe da ridire anche se il senso non cambierebbe di una virgola)

GAMEPLAY
As I mentioned earlier, I was worried that the clunky infantry combat from the original BF1942 would make its way into BF2. That isn’t the case at all. Present in BF2 is a fast, natural feeling infantry combat system. The closest game the infantry combat resembles is Counter-Strike: Source, which is a good thing. Another worry I had was that the lag from the previous games would return, otherwise known as “rubber banding.” This doesn’t happen at all in BF2. There’s no need to lead your target either to make up for the lag difference. When you killed your opponent, they’d fall to the ground w/ all the realistic grace provided by the rag doll system. Player models are beautifully detailed as well. The sniper in particular is great to look at. I saw one hiding in the bushes and barely made the distinction between the bush and sniper. Snipers are going to have a field day blending in with the expansive BF2 terrain.

The core idea behind BF2, just like every other BF game, is the combination of the different areas of play. The experience you feel between the infantry combat, ground vehicle combat and air combat needs to be seamless. You need to feel like you’re actually controlling a living, functioning character or vehicle. You need to feel as if that character or vehicle carries weight and power in the world. In 1942, it felt like you were controlling paper airplanes and soldiers made of wood. Back then we lived with it, but once you play BF2 you’ll realize how poor the characters and vehicles in 1942 felt.

In BF2, when you fire a tank’s cannon, you feel the feedback of the launch. Your screen blurs and your speakers buzz when you’re too close to an impact. The explosion itself gives of a radiant burst of flames and smoke. Vehicle parts fly into the air and bounce off the world realistically. One such experience came when I destroyed an APC that just happened to be on a hillside. When it blew up, its carcass rolled down the hill bouncing off the rocks and trees realistically (no crappy, phony object interactions ala 1942). It’s the kind of thing that’ll just make your jaw drop when you see it in person.

The choppers are different than those found in DC. They’re a bit easier to control, but not by much. If you let go of the controls for a few seconds, the chopper won’t immediately crash to the ground like in DC. It’ll hover around for four seconds, giving you the chance to launch a laser-guided missile via your black and white “missile T.V.” When you fire the rocket via this screen, you can control its path with your mouse, gently guiding it into your target. I missed a few times, but then I finally made contact with a tank.

Plenty of people have said that the squad system and commander system in BF2 wouldn’t work. They said that people would continue to Rambo for years to come. Not true at all. Even at E3, where people only had brief play sessions, commanders were sending out UAV drones to scout for enemy players (which would show up as red dots on your radar), dropping supply crates, and raining down artillery strikes on enemy bases. Seeing an artillery strike happen on a nearby location is unbelievable. Shrapnel and dirt fly into the air and tear the ground apart. It’s such a cinematic experience that no other game has ever accomplished on such a large scale. Squads were being formed to support the push for more territory. I didn’t expect this at E3 given our short play times, but they were definitely being used in full effect. I can’t wait to see multiple squads on a team while using voice-over IP to enhance their tactics and sense of camaraderie.

Overall, the game play in BF2 is incredibly tight and intense. It never misses a beat. DICE has come a long way from 1942 in their attempts to try and bring the player closer to a world that truly replicates the modern war experience. There are so many useful and incredibly fun new features in BF2 that it just blows the mind. It’s like they saw all the flaws in 1942 and rectified them for the sequel.

GRAPHICS

Some of the recent non-official screenshots would lead you to believe that BF2’s visual quality has taken a nosedive. The problem with those screenshots was that they lacked light maps and were run in a low resolution with low effect settings.

For the past few days, I’ve been playing the near-final version of BF2 with light maps intact and on 1280x1024 w/ all settings cranked. The game looks incredible. I would go as far to say that BF2 is on par with HL2, if not a bit better simply because the maps in BF2 are much larger than HL2 and there are for more things happening in the BF2 world.

Also, screenshots do not do this game justice. You need to see it in motion to truly appreciate it. The animations bring these beautiful worlds to life. After you disable a bridge with your C4, the wood planks splinter and splash into the water creating little waves along the surface. As the planks fall, they bounce off of each other and knock against the rocks below. I was driving along the side of a mountain in a buggy behind an American tank and Cobra chopper. The chopper hovered above the tank and kicked up dust all around it. It cast its shadow over the tank below it. It felt like I was in a war movie of some kind. Clouds rolled overhead (yes, the game supports weather systems) and the sun shined down over all the moving objects. Below the mountain road that we were driving on, a firefight was brewing in the valley below us. There were so many things happening around me that I couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by the grandeur of what I was seeing. Being a DC veteran, I’ve seen similar scenes, but nothing in that game looked anywhere near as good as this.

Le impressioni finali

FINAL IMPRESSIONS

I went into E3 with the idea that I should treat BF2 like any other game. I tried looking for the slightest flaws, but I came up empty handed. In all honesty, the only issue I found with the game was that stationary missile launchers (the kind behind sandbags) had a hard time taking down enemy tanks. I had to fire eight missiles before it finally blew up. Beyond that, there’s really nothing wrong with the game. I’m one of the more picky gamers out there, and if a game has even the most unimportant issue imaginable, it’ll annoy me. BF2 does so many things right all at the same time and on such a large scale that any minor flaw can be overlooked. I’ve been a gamer since the first days of the NES. I’m 20 now, and I’ve played many hundreds and hundreds of games. I’ve honestly never had this much fun with a controller. This is my dream game, and I’m sure there are plenty of other people out there who feel the same. I’m just pissed that EA has to keep the game from me for the next three weeks (the demo will be out around June 10). It’s like being an addict and having your drug of choice yanked away from you for what seems like an eternity. Many gamers remember the feeling of playing the Wake Island demo from the original 1942 and being completely blown away by an experience we had never felt. BF2 will bring us a similar incredible feeling.

Pare a sentire tutti che la DICE (e la Trauma Studios) sia riuscita a fare un gioco mixato alla grande.

Un gioco che per prima cosa NON PIACE ai Rambo...niente solisti,per seconda cosa le mappe sono ben mixate nel senso che ci sono punti da mezzi blindati,punti da aerei e quartieri da tenere con la fanteria.

La stessa fanteria è graficamente fatta benissimo ma allo stesso tempo il gioco è veloce come Counter Strike.

QUANTO MINCHIA MANCA?
io cmq devo resistere a cambiare solo per questo gioco...

Evangelion · May 24, 2005, 10:49am

amme tira tantissimo, però odio sti giochi dove c'è già tutta una comunity formata chiusa alla tribes dove te arrivi già tutti uberskilled

Lo comprerò per giocarci a scappatempo
esami

Phoenix · May 24, 2005, 10:54am

2 chicche per i tanks :

1 Movimento torretta-cannone indipendente dal movimento mitragliatrice capocarro........alla COD insomma

2 Il capocarro che usa la mitragliatrice della torretta.......si sa che dura poco !
A meno che nella sua postazione abbia la possibilita' di abbassarsi quando qualcuno lo prende di mira...
Insomma un bel crouch nel momento critico....
In BF2 si potra' fare...........

TheWorld · May 24, 2005, 3:00pm

mmm nn vedo l'ora di provare la demo.. potrebbe diventare il mio prox gioco da fare seriamente.
A tutti i veterani di battlefield: in italia come stiamo messi a clan e competizioni varie? Secondo me il gioco renderebbe molto di più fatto con un clan serio, il prob è che trovare na 30ina di persone per una cw nn deve essere la cosa più facile del mondo

Katarn999 · May 24, 2005, 3:41pm

Certo la recensione di sto tizio è del tutto soggettiva...già all'inizio dice di amare il gioco prima di giocarci, quindi che valore può avere? Non mi fido, preferisco giocarci prima di dare giudizi...

Spero cmq che le CW non si giocheranno piu di 8vs8 o 10vs10. Vi posso assicurare, avendo giocato a Tribes2, che organizzare CW 14vs14 era un bel casino: per esempio disconnesioni varie, gente che non si presenta, organizzazione molto piu difficile, clan formati da tante persone (almeno 20), quindi meno clan in generale, gioco che non troverà mai spazio nelle competizioni internazionali/lannare tipo WCG ecc. ecc.
Insomma immaginatevi tutti i problemi che possono derivare dall'avere un clan di 8 persone o fare CW con pochi giocatori e raddopiateli almeno...

Sta di fatto però che questo sembra essere l'unico gioco multy interessante all'orizzonte e quindi sicuramente lo proverò sperando di trovare qualcosa che finalmente riesca a sostituire il vuoto lasciato da tribes

si parte molto svantaggiati non avendo giocato al primo BF?

acct-eliminato.107 · May 24, 2005, 3:54pm

Non aver giocato a Battlefield non è un handicap non aver giocato a Desert Combat un pochino lo è,più che altro perchè è divertente.

Il succo del discorso è che se ti piace il teamplay allora hai maggiori possibilità che il gioco ti piaccia se ti piace invece un quake 3 o counterstrike la cosa la vedo dura perchè li in mezzo tu sei NESSUNO,ci sono i frags certo ma puoi farne 200 e non voler dire nulla alla fine,anzi forse porprio perchè hai fatto 200 frags la squadra ha perso vuol dire che non hai partecipato alla conquista o difesa dei punti che tramite un sistema di ticket fanno vincere.

La recensione è di parte ma se vuoi ti posso linkare quella di IGN,Gamespot e tante altre dove NON trovi quasi nessun punto negativo.

IGN dice anche che a meno di sorprese nella 2° metà dell'anno che partono un pelo + avvantaggiate, BF2 diventerà gioco dell' anno.

Evangelion · May 24, 2005, 4:06pm

Dopo tribes forse un altro gioco degno...
No io pensavo al fatto stile tribes o css, devi essere già forte, ci sono già i megaclan completi
ecc ecc ecc

Poi lo comprerò ho voglia di un po di sano multyplay

acct-eliminato.107 · May 24, 2005, 4:22pm

Se volete la rece di IGN cmq (molto + esaudiente logicamente)

La trovate a questo link

Un piccolo quote curioso

The other big difference between the maps is the players. The US takes a part in every map in the game. Seeing as how everyone hates us more than each other at this point, it's not really too surprising . Both opposing factions (the Middle-east Coalition and the Chinese) have different weaponry to choose from, but as it is with all games of the type, weapons, vehicles, and technology are comparable even though they have different visual styles and weapon behaviors. The MEC has a much more thrown together look with technicals and a mish-mosh of weaponry. China has a mix of proprietary military technology mixed with old Soviet era tech giving it a unique feel that is also strikingly deadly.

Katarn999 · May 24, 2005, 4:25pm

Io cerco proprio un gioco di sto tipo, dove il teamplay conta in genere piu del singolo, come era appunto in tribes e che non ho ritrovato in nessun altro FPS finora giocato (ho provato CS, DoD, CoD e altri, tutti giochini stupidi che dopo neanche un annetto già mi avevano rotto le palle)

8PUS · May 24, 2005, 6:51pm

io anche. Compriamo Battlefield in gruppo e lo sostituiamo a tribes?

Speed_399 · May 24, 2005, 6:58pm

se si potesse avere uno sconto comprandone una partita da 20 o 50 ci metterei la firma

ecc461bfc3b5ce211fea66861c03ac52 · May 24, 2005, 9:09pm

nel frattempo butto le mani avanti

non so se qualcuno di voi conosce i Team Matrix...

beh fatto sta che siamo a un buon livello internazionale per quanto riguarda DC.
Ovviamente saremo su bf2 e credetemi che se andate su www.matrixclan.it trovate scritto "Supported by EAgames" (qualcosa vorra dire no :flame: ) (se nn vi fidate cliccate

)

Beh morale della storia se siete appena arrivati nel pianeta di BF1 o 2 che siano, stiamo cercando gente seria per giocare alla grande tra i primi d'europa e primi in italia (come gia siamo su DC

)
Se siete interessati a un clan gia' bello spedito e pieno di succose anteprime di BF2 fischiate su 124483043(icq) o mandatemi un PM

ciao ciao :ciao:
