Having played both versions, the 360 demo runs better and has superior hit registry. The amount of smoke in the game is frustrating, too. It seems if a team mate so much as sneezes there's a blanket of smoke covering my vision.
The audio is fantastic, FWIW.
I'll probably get a refund before release date from Steam.
I got in the BC2 MP beta without pre-ordering the game, and thank crap for that. The game is a spit in the face of every battlefield fan there ever was. I've played and loved every battlefield game except vietnam, and BC2 is a disappointment in every way imagineable.
A) You can't prone,
B) Your health regenerates,
C) A little thing pops up on your screen when you kill someone "+50 POINTS FOR KILL",
D) YOU CANNOT GO PRONE. YOU MUST SNIPE WHILST CROUCHING. GFG
Oh, and it crashes every three minutes. And the server browser crashes the game instantly.
And you have to log into your account, and then select your soldier, every time you want to play. Why can't it just seamlessly remember my account and soldier? Why must I click like fifteen meaningless buttons?
Ugh.
If you want modern warfare 2 with player-controlled vehicles, by all means, get it. Otherwise steer clear.

I've been having a huge amount of fun with the beta. It's got better infantry combat than the Battlefield series has ever had, plus they got rid of the jets. I really like the intense, chaotic nature of the battle and the destructible buildings and objects are ridiculously awesome. Blowing open a wall with a tank to get at the objective inside is wonderful fun. The graphics are great and the sound is some of the best sound in any videogame ever. They cut down on the number of classes, making them all useful in a fight, and my only objection is that they removed prone, which really doesn't matter all that much because who really cares. Most games don't have prone in the first place.
prone is a useful feature in that type of game imo.
I may wait until the demo is out as I do not have access to the beta at the moment.
Thanks for comments.
The combination of the destructable enviroment, the sound, the action it all blends into something that's really enjoyable from the moment you start and all this crying about it ruining the series and wahhh there's no prone blublub console port are just crying for the sake of it. They made up their mind to hate and judge it before they played it with an un-biased opinion.
It's still in beta and they're still fixing it. I imagine the full version will be 10 times better than what it is right now, and that's damn good already.
<ul><li>Improved Vehicle Armor: An up-armor package is mounted on all vehicle types, decreasing the effect of both explosive and penetrating warheads, significantly improving vehicle survivability.</li><li>Supreme Vehicle Firepower: Additional weapon packages are mounted for the driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expanding the range of targets the vehicle can successfully engage and destroy.</li><li>Vehicle Motion Sensor: Use this electronics warfare package to locate enemy units in direct proximity to the vehicle.</li><li>Tracer Dart Pistol: This magnetic dart attaches to any vehicle surface, allowing squad members to track, lock on, and fire rockets onto moving targets even beyond line of sight.</li><li>M1A1 Sub-machine Gun: Reliable but heavy this classic weapon is a powerful force in the hands of any Battlefield veteran.</li><li>M1911 Pistol: Highly customized M1911 are favoured for its dependability and the power of its large .45 caliber round.</li></ul><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Hmm gameplay enhancing items for the pre-order peeps and I heard something about ww2 era weapons for BF1943 owners (not yet on PC dammit)
ww2 weapons are cool, but as for the rest... I'd rather just have black armor :P

The Vehicle Motion Sensor thingy on vehicles is basically a wallhack :P
BTW. I can't play the game because for some reason, after I start it, it just sits on the login screen. Don't see a cursor or anything. Anyone know about this?
No, all those things are unlockable in the normal game by normal people. I've already got half of them and i haven't played the beta much.
It's not a demo, it's a beta. The codebase is old and busted.
Its still as clumsy and broken as the old one only now we've got silly toy helicopters and such to deal with.
Good effort but no dice. (Zing!)
I know that. "Codebase is old and busted" I don't what you mean.
The codebase for the beta we're playing is a few weeks behind where the actual game is at, meaning it's lacking a lot of improvements that will be present in the final product, plus all the changes/fixes/tweaks that they are going to do as a result of having the beta.
How is it supposed to track your stats for your unlocks if you don't log in?
I dunno, with my Live! username? that's what other games do
Or it could just not track my stats, it's just a demo after all
I'll probably get it for the Campaign Mode, and the variety of maps and modes for Multiplayer.
I'd like to query this one. Tycho, are you definitely able to get all the items listed in the Limited Edition in the normal one?
I have them all unlocked! Okay, I actually am one level away from the Tommy Gun and I don't have the Tracer Gun yet either. But I've got the rest! RIGHT NOW!
err...dont forget its the beta..they might just testing the items on everyone to make sure they wont destabilize gameplay, and/or to make sure peoples will see that stuff and preorder the deluxe package aswell.. and then, beta is over and poof your items are gone.. no longer unlockable... it all happend more than once
The very best thing about this game, and something that hasn't really been commented on yet, is the atmosphere. This game feels like a first person version of World in Conflict. Explosions are everywhere, people are constantly shooting, it's a very immersion and chaotic environment yet I don't ever feel helpless or trapped and the fighting remains focused and entertaining.
I'm also fortunate enough to have upgraded my computer (i5 750, 4gb DDR3, etc) so it looks and runs very well. The vehicles are powerful but not overpowered, unlocks come in at a decent rate, and I'm having loads of fun.
