This Tuesday will ignite yet another conflagration in our war-torn club. We're just ravenous when it comes to simulated hostility and explosions! That day, March 2nd, marks the emergence of Battlefield:Bad Company 2. As is standard, an asylum OTC server is obligatory for our members to remove themselves from the harsh din of unregulated servers and administer our lovely tenets of hugging while fragging.

What, then, is this new and potentially frightening title? Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a first-person shooter developed by DICE - known best for their siring of the past Battlefield games. It places emphasis on squad combat, vehicular warfare and destructible environments. - Squad Combat - If you're in a squad - and you should be - you'll accomplish much more than the lone wolf. The ability to spawn on your teammates facilitates vanguard insertion so that you may always work as a cohesive force. Further, helping your squad members generates more gain for yourself through squad-related rewards and for your team through targeting objectives.
- Vehicular Warfare - Varying forms of locomotive destruction add a welcome repose from the arduousness of leveling buildings on foot. They also introduce new opportunities for approaching any given situation. Burdensome gun placement need to be demolished? Breach its flank with a haphazardly propelled high explosive shell from a friendly or hijacked tank.
- Destructible Environments - Rounds begin with buildings, fortifications and other structures intact. As your skirmish progresses, they will succumb to a battery of explosive forces. It contributes to the clamorous setting of conflict and, as described in "vehicular warfare", is sometimes an alternative channel to victory.

Cail of the Haruchai: "BF:BC2 has found a perfect balance between vehicular and infantry combat. The size and scope of the one map we have seen so far create endless possibilities, so I'm definitely looking forward to the full release" Con Cac: "A high adrenaline rush of action with a great emphasis on teamwork. The game needs some minor improvements from the beta but hopefully it is all taken care of by release." Jorsh: "The beta was great fun. The game hold definite promise. If we can play 1 map for hours at a time for 2 weeks I think it speaks for itself how good the game is." Pixie: "Well, I really like the squad based mechanics. The ability to always be right beside your friends really helps with teamwork I think. As well the ability to use your parachute while jumping off a building is equal parts hilarity and awesome. On one hand you're glad you wont jump to your death, on the other it's more than likely someone will spot you and shoot you out of the sky." We all hope to see you in-game! |
