Battlefield:Modern Combat

[Padre]

Not sure if everyone caught that EA announced "Battlefield: Modern Combat" is coming out for the PS2. For a PS2 game it looks... ok/decent.

My biggest unfounded gripe - other than FPS-on-consoles - is the use of ranks. I say unfounded because a) the screenshot is probably some beta and b) I have no idea what the ranks really "mean" in so far as the game is concerned.

I really, really really wish they'd make that a function of BFV. Check this BF:MC screenshot. You'll see the rank chevrons, leaf and stars next to players' names.

From what I understand, the ranking system for this game is going to work a lot like the stats tracking sites currently out there for various games (like UT's Stat site). Instead of rewarding the player with an arbitrary number, the stat tracker translates all your kills, flag caps, and what-not into a rank that will show up next to your name. I am assuming said rank carries over from one map to the next and from one session to the next, unlike Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory which was based on a single session.

Sorry for the double-post, but I seriously wonder if we'll actually see Desert Combat for BF:V. I have a feeling that DICE and EA have other plans (new game) for Trauma Studios. Anyone else know more about this?

I guess that makes sense. With the PS2 they can control the numbers, since only Sony servers can support the game. And since you brought it up I'd like to see something like the UTStats for BFV. I know there was something for BF1942 and I'll imagine there'll be something for BFV soon enough...

I imagine that since Trauma is still super dedicated to DC in the BF42 engine they'll stick with it AT LEAST until it hits v1.0. Current release is still v0.7.

Here's what I posted about Trauma's appearance in Computer Games Magazine:
