Different scope choices and some other stuff.
To add, short or long underslung grenade launchers.

According to IGN, we can even take dogtags. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battlefield:_Bad_Company_2 Learned that from Wiki today.
We could in BFBC1 too...I think that's pretty much been a given since 2142.

The thing that annoyed me about Bad Company was the running. It took like 10 minutes to move about a metre.

At least there wasn't any stamina, you could run as long as you want or until you died or got blocked by an object.

Staying Healthy on the Bad Company 2 Battlefield

A quick introduction is in order, since this is my first Battlefield Blog post.  I’m Alan Kertz, though many of you already know me as Demize99.  As Gameplay Designer on Bad Company 2 it’s my goal to give you insight into the design process on Bad Company 2 and give you the direct inside scoop on all the gameplay details.

So what are my Battlefield Credentials?  I’ve competed in Battlefield 1942 and Vietnam clan matches alongside being a mapper and a modder.  I joined DICE over 3 years ago and since the I’ve worked as a designer on Battlefield 2142 and the original Bad Company.  And now it’s my privilege to be developing Battlefield: Bad Company 2.  Let’s start off this series of gameplay blog post with some in depth detail on Bad Company 2’s teamplay based health systems.

When a soldier really needs to be restored to health fast he turns to his Medic teammates.  The Medic is a special breed of soldier, able to fight just as hard as their brothers in arms, but also dedicated healers.  They keep their teammates in the fight as long as possible and to bring them back into the fight when they're down.  In Bad Company 2 the medic has two tools to use to keep his teammates healthy.

The first tool is the Medkit, a portable first aid station that the Medic can deploy to heal the soldiers around him in the middle of combat.  The Medkit begins working immediately and keeps working until the medical supplies are depleted.  It also works in combat, so a soldier near a Medkit can duck behind cover to quickly heal up and be ready to get back in the fight.  Just be careful where you deploy the Medkit, as even enemy soldiers will receive its healing benefits.

The second tool is the Defibrillator, also known as the Shock Paddles or the Defib for short.  The Medic can use the Defib on his recently incapacitated teammates to bring them immediately back to full fighting strength.  The Defib allows the medic to keep his squad and team together and fighting.  In a pinch the Defib's electric shock can even be administered to healthy enemy soldiers, instantly incapacitating them.

Bad Company 2 introduces a system we call Out of Combat Healing.  Like many features in Battlefield it's a reflection of a real soldier's world.  Every soldier learns some basic first aid so he can patch himself up and get back into the fight.  In Bad Company 2 we represent a soldier's first aid ability via the Out of Combat Heal.  A soldier who's been wounded in a fight but survived will slowly heal himself.  Out of Combat Healing is a not a fast process.  Unlike your Medic teammate it's not going to save you in the middle of a firefight, but it will keep you from bleeding out somewhere alone on the Battlefield.

Out of combat healing actually doesn't sound that bad. Makes sense if they're relating it to soldiers being able to patch themselves up.

Yeah, that doesn't really sound as bad as say CoD4's regenning health.

Still kinda wish they left the needle in though.

Battlefield 1943 Weapons in Bad Company 2?
The Battlefield 1943 twitter dropped a small hint today about the weapons you can use in Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Think you're a Bad Ass with BF1943 weapons? What if I said you'll be able to use your Semi-Auto Rifle, Sniper Rifle, or SMG in BFBC2!

That'd be ridiculously awsm.

That sniper weapon in 43 looks pretty sweet. Might be fun having them alongside the modern arsenal in BC2.

You might need to do some trickery to access the weapons however. Like some wacky registration where you had to play the old games, or you have to preorder to get it.

I'll settle for an M16A4 MWS with a vertical grip and an ACOG. That will do any day. Although a bayonet would be a nice addition to that

You can even score free Battlefield t-shirts and try out Dragon Age: Origins and Left 4 Dead 2!. You don't want to miss it.

And for those of you who still have yet to purchase the smash hit Battlefield 1943 from Xbox Live Arcade or the Playstation Network, be sure to take advantage of our limited-time, Comic-Con promotion. We're giving away free redeem codes for Battlefield 1943 if you pre-order Bad Company 2 from one of our on-site kiosks. That's a $15 value and will definitely help tide you over until Bad Company 2 drops in early 2010.

You can find the EA Gaming Lounge at the Hilton San Diego Gaslamp Quarter Hotel, 401 K street, across from the convention hall. We're here from 2PM to 9PM Friday and Saturday and 12PM to 5PM on Sunday.

DICE Delivers Best of Breed Multiplayer Action on March 2, 2010 With Battlefield: Bad Company 2

STOCKHOLM - (Business Wire) Get ready to storm the battlefield! DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced that Battlefield: Bad Company™ 2 will be available March 2, 2010 in North America and March 5, 2010 in Europe. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will deliver a level of destruction, vehicular warfare, squad play and open world environments never before experienced in a modern warfare action game. By pushing destruction to new heights and delivering a host of land, sea and air vehicles, players will soon witness the best-in-class online warfare experience.

“The variety of weapons, choice of vehicles and scale of destruction in the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 sandbox environment generates countless unscripted and unforgettable moments,” said Karl Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer Battlefield Franchise, DICE. “When Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ships in March, it will deliver the best online multiplayer experience ever.”

Whether online or in the single player campaign, players use every weapon and vehicle to survive and conquer. Players choose from 15 authentically modeled vehicles, each providing a tactical advantage and offering a variety of gameplay options. The new UH-60 transport helicopter can ship an entire four-player squad directly into battle, while allowing two additional team members to wreak havoc with its two mounted rail guns on board.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 players will have a selection of 46 weapons that they can customize into over 200 different, high-powered firearms. There are over 15,000 kit variations possible in the game, giving each squad member the ability to choose the weapon upgrades and combat enhancements that best fits their playing style. Between the weapons, kit combinations and deadly vehicles, players will be equipped with a wide range of gadgets, accessories and character specializations to give them the edge in the heat of battle.

The DICE signature Frostbite™ engine delivers Destruction 2.0, adding a new layer of strategy to the all-out warfare. New to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is the micro-destruction mechanic that allows players to be more strategic on the battlefield by chipping cover away bit by bit or taking down an entire building and watching it collapse with enemies inside.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available on the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the PC.
