I would certainly get it. The only problem would be my parents, who still have control over me. They have agreed on letting get the beta, but i hope they let me get the whole thing!
And I would also be recording the matches!

Be sure to use your headphones so they don't hear the language.. after watching some videos I'd say it's quite harsh. ;)

Is BF1943 an entirely different game? I know Battlefield 3 will be coming out late 2010 or early 2011.

Ok i think i'm going to get the game, but not right away or anything though. Theres a few new games coming soon I want, but aren't going to get all of them so i have to decide which.
I'm on a student budget so I'll have to wait for the spring time to start earning money again. (I could get a part-time job, but I'm pretty busy throughout the school year as is)

Watch some of the videos and the game will move closer to the top of your list. ;)

Gameplay

Gameplay in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 resembles that of Battlefield: Bad Company and takes place in the mountainous regions along the borders of Russia, among other places. Bad Company 2 will include locations in snowy mountains, dense jungles, and also sandy deserts within both story mode and multiplayer mode.[4] The game allows players to play through missions using any tactics they choose. Like its predecessor, Bad Company 2 features destructible environments. However, more destruction is now possible; players can now completely destroy a building rather than just its walls. Bad Company 2 and Battlefield Vietnam are the only two games in the series to have blood in them[5] without a third-party modification.

Multiplayer will allow players to choose from a set of weapon kits before each spawn, the number of which has been further reduced from Bad Company's five down to four: "Assault," "Engineer," "Recon," and "Medic," removing the "Specialist" kit, whose compact assault rifle and C4 abilities have been split between the "Engineer" and "Recon" classes, respectively.

A customizable weapon selection menu is also new to the Bad Company series (similar to unlocks in Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142), giving players the choice of different ACOGs or reflex sights, including short or long barrel grenade launchers; these are also chosen before each respawn.

Each match will give players experience points, allowing them to level to multiple ranks as they did in the previous series. Experience points will be gained by each opponent killed and destroying the respective objectives. The points gained will be displayed in the screen.

A dog tag system coined from a similar system in Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield: Bad Company will allow players to collect an opponent's tag when killing by melee.[6]

There will be new vehicles in Bad Company 2, such as the UH-60 Black Hawk, a quad bike, a two-man patrol boat, an AA-gun mounted on a light tank and a UAV helicopter controlled via laptop.[7]

If pre-ordered at GameStop, and EB Games in Canada, the AKS-74U will be unlocked for use.[8]

On October 19, 2009, game developer DICE posted a Twitter announcement stating the game will have dedicated server support. This was in response to Infinity Ward's announcement on October 17 that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 would not support dedicated servers.[9]

Also announced on Twitter, multiplayer will allow players to use party chat for each mode. This is another response to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which disables party chat in many game modes.[c


You'll get to drive vehicles in multiplayer mode as well, Cool!

Yeah you didn't know that? You need to watch some of the game play videos.. they are amazing. The sound really stands out to me besides all the other neat stuff. They did a great job with it. Hopefully the game play is fun. I would keep in mind however, from what I have heard and read, it's less like an arcade style FPS like COD and more tactical. In other words the kills might not come as fast but playing as a team is more important.
