I'm new at this forum and I don't know for which console I should get BIA. I got the ps2 but I heard the graphics are not really good. I'm planning to buy the xbox during Christmas that's why I'm asking you this.
I just want to know which is the best option.

Screw you, man. The only good thing you X-Box suckas have for you is Halo and Halo 2...
And PS2 graphics aren't "horrible" at all, they look just great to me and are equivilant to Xbox's.
PS2 all the way!

The only mistake in my life is getting a PS2. Thats why im getting xbox for christmas. Also the Playstation 2 at least for me and many others. Has a disk read error problem that can occur. Why buy it for the ps2 and then after a month it stops working cause sony is gay? Anyway xbox controllers are much better. Xbox no doubt about it. Plus if u play online. PS2 will have noone at all :P

LMAO! Wow, you are pretty arrogant. Flaws in your post:
1.) PS2 Online will, beyond all doubt have more people on Brothers in Arms in the first few months due to the recent WW2 shooters that have not been able to offer online play such as "Call of Duty: Finest Hour." This is one of our ONLY tactical first person shooters besides Ghost Recon 2 that will even have online capability.
2.) Disk Read Error only happens when you don't take care of your PS2. That's Sony's fault how?
3.) You can send in your PS2 to either trade it in for a new one or get it repaired for free at Sony HQ in California or take it to your local Game store and they'll repair it for about 10 bucks.
4.) I've had my PS2 for 2 years and have never once had a disk read error...You say it happens to you in a month and it quits working?

well I didn't say the ps2 graphics are that bad. Unlike the BIA screenshots for xbox I've seen the ones that were supposedly from ps2 looked pretty horrible.
Does anybody know what console where they using during the E3 demo?

Pretty sure they were using XBox in the game demo...UbiSoft LOVES there XBox...
The PS2 graphics are currently being polished and should look pretty much like "Medal of Honor: Frontline" or "Medal of Honor: Rising Sun"'s graphics.
EDIT: Found a PS2 gameplay pic at gamespy. Check it out: http://media.ps2.gamespy.com/media/676/676385/img_2376609.html?fromint=1
Doesn't look bad at all!

I didn't like MOH so much. It's not so bad but in the end it is just another run and gun video game, there is no tactical stuff. hey redfoxbandit do you know how much the difference will be between the xbox and the pc? cause I got an average pc, not a super computer
and the games look better on my ps2 console.
That screenshot doesn't look that bad. But i've seen better ones. I just don't know from which console were they taken from. You guys know from which console were the gameplay screenshots on the bia offcial website taken from? PC or Xbox?

i would say either version because if you had a Xbox you would have an enjoyable WWII shooter and if you have a ps2 like me you will hwave a experiance that surpasses medal of honor

Uhh rite wutever. Call of duty Finest hour is like 8th on xbox live and i have taken care of my ps2 always kept it clean everything put away when im done. Wasent til a few weeks ago there was a forum topic on the internet. Someone said they looked at there ps2 manual and found out it says you should unplus the console when not in use. Uhh okay now that is gay and would be sony's fault. Anyway do whatever you want. Im getting it on xbox and xbox kicks PS2 *** (with exeption for GTA:SA).

Wrong, Brothers in Arms, along with almost any multi-platform game, will look better on Xbox than PS2, sorry to burst your bubble.
"2.) Disk Read Error only happens when you don't take care of your PS2. That's Sony's fault how?"
Wrong, I kept perfectly fine care of my PS2, and it started getting disc read errors on everything. Fixed it, but that required me going into the PS2 and voided its warranty. Yay!

Thats what i was saying. Just look it up. You will and when i say will i mean WILL find lots and lots of people with the disk read error. Now go to www.gametrailers.com (http://www.gametrailers.com) look up Ghost Recon 2 and look up the PS2 vs Xbox version trailer. Watch it. At the end they do a side by side comparison of ps2 (on the left side) and xbox(right) the ps2 is all jiggity and not smooth like the xbox version.

Almost all of the media (screens, vids, etc.) are from the XBOX. However, there are about a dozen PS2 screenshots, links below. Then compare that to the E3 Demo (xbox), or the newest trailer(mostly XBOX, some pc). There is no arguing that the XBOX version will look better due to superior hardware.

I thought the bia graphics were not so bad on ps2 but after I saw the gameplay screenshots (link above) I was very disappointed. MOH: frontline looked better. I will definitely get this game for xbox.

Well I am not sure that's the final build of the PS2 version since the people who ported Splintercell to the PS2 are working on the PS2 version of BIA. However, I am certain graphics will be much better on the XBOX version opposed to the visuals of its PS2 counterpart.

Hate to break it to you, but that is an early PC build of the game.

I read they have already finished the pc and xbox version but I'm not sure if they are still improving and polishing these versions or they are just working on the ps2. does anybody know about this?
TennesseeTitans

They are not done. Gearbox is still hard at work on the xbox and pc version. Another developer is porting BIA to the ps2. Both the pc and xbox versions are being polished, refined, tested, and are having elements added. Don't worry, the devs aren't all sitting around playing the finished product while waiting for Ubi to finish the ps2 version, ... I hope.

that's good news! I thought they were already finished. It's good to know the devs are still improving them because I've seen some glitches in the demos and in the trailers. hope they tweak those little details.
