DICE: Ashamed of Bad Company 2

One DICE Producer only sees the negative when he remembers Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

 

"I don't know why, but I always feel ashamed about the games I'm involved in making," Patrick Bach told The Wall Street Journal.

 

"I can't even bring myself to start up Battlefield Bad Company 2, our last game, because I feel so ashamed. I know it is a great product but still I only see the things we could have done better," he continued.

 

DICE's recent project, Battlefield 3, recently released an open beta and is shaping up quite nicely.

 

"We are focusing on cutting the bad stuff rather than adding and changing things. Instead of adding ideas, we are removing problems, and that is what our testers are helping us with. We have deleted portions of maps, we have skipped passages in the single player campaign. Everything that doesn't meet our standards we chop out. A lot of games fail at that, they seem to think more is better and often, that isn't the case."

maybe he should be assamed of making BF3 a console style game and basicaly unplayable. excpet for the small maps mc2 was the best battlefield game so far and bf3 seams to be the worst from the beata. in the BC2 beta it was awesome and felt like a game that should have shipped while bf3 feels like its a tech demo and still needs a year or so to fix the graphics and maps and UI and to add a server browser.

... the fact that the guns in BC2 had weight, say when you swung around an m60 or an RPG you could almost feel the force you would need to move the gun just to aim and shoot it not to forget the kickback felt really strong but soft enough so it wasnt overkill...
unlike in the BF3 beta the guns have no weight, making it feel like something from cod, and the recoil thats used is just not something i would like to see... also whats with the flashlight?

I had a lot of fun playing BC2 with my bros though. So there's that.
