    Now I know I wasn’t the only one struggling on that last mission lol. I very clearly remember that mission being an absolute nightmare when I was younger playing on the ps2. I never beat it no matter how hard I tried. Also you were too harsh on this game. “Doesn’t need to be played anymore,” Nah man not this game. I would gladly revisit this game every now and then.

      I thank my father buying that battlefield disc when I was 6 years old. It is the best best game I’ve ever played. Unfortunately, after some period of time, disc had some scratches that caused the game to hang after certain level. I ( 7 years old) was very sad when I realized I wasn’t able to progress to the next level because of scratches disc had. I would buy ps2 and this fucking amazing game if they are available on sale

    This game was way ahead of its time, the ideas were ahead of technology. It must have been made by veterans to be a "game" because of certain concepts. The sniping was fun, the recoil system was practical, the vehicle operating was realistic for a controller played game. Id love nothing more than a remake if this game with its original concepts.

    To be honest, this was my first FPS shooter i ever owned on PS2. This shit was the best game i've ever played. The game was just so much fun. The campaign was difficult enough (for a 8 year old). Online was the place to be with wacky mechanics which were hard to master.. and the maps... Backstab, Bridge too far or coldfront.. Damn.. So many memories..

    Good review overall tbh but I think you were too harsh on certain parts, especially when comparing it to games that came *after* it. The soundtrack was excellent back in the day, and you can totally see how they just threw a bunch of ideas on the game and see what worked. The influence of this game on later BF titles and other games was quite big.

I've never actually managed to finish a visual novel despite my best efforts, and even something like persona which is sort of a hybrid I couldn't push through. I won't say it's a hard no as I'm always open to trying new things, but I'll say Danganronpa is a low priority for now, but thanks for the suggestion :)

And with 34 already i Wonder how i could get some reckords 9 years ago, because i already age to much do some thinks again.

  • @AA-sj6qn

    I beat the last mission by using a glitch in the game. When enemies aren’t on screen the damage they cause you is much much less. Thus I would look at the floor while walking all the way to each objective.
    I went to the silo site on the right first. Then, from the position you parachute down on, went leftwards and hit the next silo site. Through repetition over a few hours I managed to find the perfect routes to take each time.

    • @RamblingRhetoric
      @RamblingRhetoric  3 роки тому

      I hardly trashed the game and this video at no point was focussed on the multiplayer as the multiplayer is now dead. I am in no position to comment on the multiplayer at the time and there is no way for me to play/review that element of the game. But this was by no means "incredible", especially for an Xbox360 title, the same year saw CoD3, GRAW, Just Cause, PREY and Lost Planet among others. Compared to these games BF2:MC leaves something to be desired.
      The conclusion of the review is that it's interesting and by no means terrible but it's showing its age and not in a graceful way like its contemporaries.
      Ultimately the review is an opinion, the game filtered through my own subjective biases coming from an extensive background of playing more games than I can count. But if you think this review was "trashing" BF:MC then boy howdy are you going to be surprised when I play an actually objectively bad game.

    No game gets suppressors right, in real life suppressors without subsonic ammunition are really loud and do not sound like in any game or movie ( exept of some tactical/ sim games. I can say if you like classic battlefield gameplay ( i dont mean Battlefield 3, bad company or those games.. I mean battlefield vietnam, battlefield 2 and 1942) the game is the only game that brings the feal of thopse games in a campange (exapt of bad company 1 maybe).
    Yes the game has searius problems, but in this time battlefield was not like its today. Back then battlefield was a bit klunky, much much much slower, much much less health, no casual hp regeneration and based more on tactics then on dump rambogameplay like in the new battlefields. And Battlefield modern combat feals like the classic games just in singleplayer, but sadly the ai isnt the smartest, but still reacts more on the players actions then in todays campange.
    So if you like the classic games dont wanna mod so you can play them online again, or just doesnt have a pc anymore, the game is now on xbox one backwarts compatible. And you can buy it for 2$ so you do not loose anything for trying.
    And it was common for many games back then to not have aim assist and the aimassist today is just ludacris. And you have to use more of your brain , and not just have to run in a straight line, beeing handholded and treated like a braindead, just to see the next michale bane cutscene wich comes every 2 minutes and you cant control while its happening

Thanks for covering it! It gets left out of a lot of the BF discussions! (Even if it wasn't totally perfect.)

    I redid that shit over 150 times and I still couldn't figure out what to do. Then I went to the bathroom while there were no enemies around and forgot to pause. And my allies just won the game for me and I still didn't know what I did to win, so I had to redo it again

No other game since is anywhere close. I never even thought of that. BF2 was better because it didn't have auto aim. The controls were true to actual player skill. I am actually happy they turned the severs off for online play. It was so addictive I barely did anything else for years. I even had 3 tv's and sony's so my friends could play at same time. Kids today have no idea what they are missing.

    To honest it felt weird probably because you are playing on Xbox. I played both Xbox and PS2 version. It's so easy to kill enemies in PS2 and although it is easy to die, you can actually played the entire level without dying. That's not the case in Xbox. Your character will start to move only half a second after pushing the joy stick to one direction. The shooting is weird in Xbox as well, while playing on PS2, as long as the grey circle covers the enemy on sight the enemies will take damage. In Xbox, you are required to shoot them right where they are which means if they are moving, the bullets will almost never touches them. Then again some might not like the PS2 version simply because the shooting, and damage taken by the enemies is very unrealistic although I did find it fun to gain non-stop killstreak in a single level. You don't have to play very risky if you are playing B2MC on PS2 but in Xbox the character movement and shooting makes you subconsciously wanting to get closer to the enemies just to get a kill, and that's why you kind of have to play recklessly. Anyway, that's just my version of the experience. Like your content btw, keep it up. Cheers.

    Seems like they didnt know that they were doing a console game, but were developing for pc. That lack of QoL is either lack of experience at the time, or tunnel vision.
    That matrix wooshing would be fun in other games if done correctly; wonder if anyone even remembers about this mechanic showing up in other games.
    Basically, it needed alot more polish, 2nd opinions, and playtesting. That "difficulty" ramp-up is stupid. How did they not think that having no actual medics was a good idea?
    If this ever gets "rebirthed", it needs alooot of cleaning and tweaking; or just yeet it to the modding gods and let them do that for you. It has some potential. The matrix gameplay alone has something going for it, you just need to leverage it.

    The final mission is beatable you’re just bad. If you think 10 minutes isn’t enough time, try playing the PS2 version. I beat that version multiple times and on that version it only gave you 5 minutes to destroy both silos.

      That was because the PS2 version is much easier. I literally went head on, whereas in the 360 version, you have to sneak on the outskirts of the map to reach a silo.
      Also, the train in End of the Line is a bullet sponge in the 360 version. In the PS2 version, it almost never gets past the first MG. The 360 version is just broken.
