Midway’s Take on Battlefield 2: That’s so FAKE…

No Comments »

Midway lead animator Steve Bowler takes a look at how Battlefield2 successfully integrated real world military technology, and, less successfully, how it paid its dues to unrealistic game conventions…

I don’t know how to say this. This bunny-hopping thing? Needs to stop. Counter-strike pretty much got it right, where you’re allowed one functional jump, and then you’re stuck where you land for about a half-second to a second. Not only is seeing four guys jumping up a beach while you’re trying to shoot them frustrating, it’s also completely ludicrous. Jumping in sand barefoot wearing nothing but swim trunks gets tiring for most folks in no time flat. Now try it in combat boots, full fatigues, and 40-60 lbs of equipment strapped to your back. No, seriously, try it. Okay, but now sprint first. Hang on, to make this simulation more accurate, I’m going to have to shoot at you. No, no, it’s okay, just wear this body armor…

Only 90degrees away, and yet I almost never look out there.
