    I liked 90% of what i just saw, the other 10 is not clear enough for now))
    …Is there going to be a beta for it?

    Wow I barely noticed the effect on the ground. Idk if its snow and wind moving in the streets around 1:50. It looks pretty kool though

    Yes, it is a parachute, if you pause it there, you will see ropes.
    And I can even say, that the parachute has a circular form with a hole in the centre!
    You can also see that a couple milliseconds in the bottom of the screen before he spawns.

    You can also see a burning Blackhowk at 35 seconds, maybe that’s where he jumped from?

    You can notice he plays as Russian – one of the spawn points is named DICE CAMP ?)))
    4 classes ASSAULT, ENGENEER, RECON, MEDIC.
    He played engeneer class in the first time, then switched to recon.
    I can see that engeneer class has 9A-91 rifle from MECs, AKS-74U rifle from Russians, something that resembles a SCAR, I don’t know if it is a prototype, or a production model (BC1 had a first gen prototype) and there is also a shotgun without a buttstock maybe a TOZ-194 or a Franchi SPAS-12.
    Engeneer will have a primary weapon, a sidearm and a rocked propelled grenade launcher.
    His sidearm was an US M9 Beretta, and a Russian RPG-7V

    Recon has a primary weapon, a sidearm and an air strike ability? (small square – binoculars?)
    Recon has a selection like this – US M24 bolt action rifle, Chinese QBU-88 self-loading rifle, a SCAR rifle and a Shotgun?

    also you can see people being killed with AUG, m16 and other bad company weapons.

    Hmmm, I think we’ll have much fun with those Quadbikes!
    Is there a killcam or even better –> spectator mode?
    I saw something like this in the video.

  • Gustav

    Yeah there is a killcam in that video =)

  • Leki

    killcam has been getting loads of negative feedback in the EA forums, 90% people hate it.

    its not really a good killcam like say call of duty4/5 as it doesnt show you a replay of you getting killed it and how it just lets you watch your enemy after he has killed you. So then you just see where he goes and then go kill him as you have the advantage of knowing where he is.

    i think thats really bad.

    I have to agree with Leki – a killcam showing you the actual kill and not more is ok, but not a cam following the enemy, this would be the first time I see such a thing (spectating the enemy).
    Hm…well I think this won’t make it into any League’s rules anyways.. :-)

    But a real spectator mode would be greatly appreciated by everybody, BF2 would have done much better in online TV shows with a feature like this because its much easier for ingame reporters to actually show what’s going on.

  • Gustav

    I’m with you on that one, I dont want my victims to see where I am going after I killed him =)
    But since I’m not on BC2 I cant say what they are going to do!

  • unit_one

    They can make this kind of a killcam.
    You get shot, the camera falls on grownd and then slowly pans in the direction where is your enemy. But it will not show him, only look at that direction for a couple of seconds before fading out.

  • M0t0rBreath

    I agree also. But the TV gaming show where they competed played with vehicles. I think it would fit the show better if it was infantry only. I vote no killcam, it takes the strategic part of the game out.

    Still 1 full (OMG how long this is!) year until release of Bad Company 2 … plenty of time to polish..
