BIA: EIB is still 1000 times better than call of duty 2 for XBOX 360 for multiplayer. I have owned BIA EIB for about 1 or 2 years and love it. I purchased CALL of duty 2 as was very disappointed as it reminded me of every other mulitplayer game Why?

1) Tactical use of squads.
WWII is a squad based war. Call of duty is just players running around killing each other.

2) Objectives. BIA are much more realistic. Call of duty objectives are lame and boring.

3) DEATH matches. This is stupid. People running around killing each other. This never happens in real wars, involves no intelligence. This is meant for 10 year olds with no thoughts.

4) Maps. Call of duty maps are mostly like a puzzle, turn the corner and kill the guy.

i am a big fan of BIA because of the tactical use of your squads and the omission of "spray and pray".

I just got Call of Duty 2 for XBOX 360 and while the graphics are very good, the multiplayer is not much different from every other multiplayer game where you run around the map turn and corner and bang, you kill the guy or he kills you. Not only that but Call of duty 2 lets you switch teams during the match, which makes no sense to me.

I hope BIA HH is nothing like Call of duty 2 in ANYWAY.

After reading on a website that you have no control over squads make me nervous. Does anyone know yet?

new CoD multiplayer on CoD3 seems interesting, but BIA HH seems just like MP battles of up to 32 ppl, i think if BIA HH can find a permanent audience of Gamers on live i think itll be great,too many ppl are loyal to CoD right now. AND i must mention this...first BIA's game out 2005... COD got most award before it came out,#1 franchise for the next gen... thats cuz The Outfit sucked... and BIA was the Highest Rated WWII franchise.... im tired of these sneaky numbers CoD gives on their Cod3 trailer

Dude,first:welcome to the forum!!!
*back to topic* I have both CoD2 and EiB
I only play EiB MP for chatting with friendz etc. not playing seriously.But CoD2 is sooo much better at the MP scene.It has Deathmatch(classical in MP scene)Team Deathmatch,Capture the Flag(classical)Search and Destroy(classic).Without these,playing MP at any game would be boring.And the thing with tactics at MP.In MP,as far as i know,every1 acts independently,without any tactics or leaders.I forgot to say the thing with 'stick togather' or 'cover me'.And I hate at EiB MP the servers.Only 4 places?at Cod2 maximum is 100.At EiB there's no ping or rating.
That's all.Yer opinion is respected by me! Wink

well theyr really mixin up CoD MP and if theyr smart enuf to make CoD3 at least up to 16 ppl this time it might contend with BIA but if BIA really holds 32 ppl i would definetly play that over CoD, BIA does need a MP class system since there are mortars maybe u could actually make a mortar team that requires at least 2 ppl to operate, or a machine gun crew or machine gunner... i think if they added elements like that to BIA it would be an unbeleivable experience... or at least like GRAW be ablee to customize ur soldiers face, it looks creepy when every1 looks the same, or with the new camera vision for 360 be able to map ur face to ur character like rainbowsix is planning

ok just read an article about CoD3 on IGN...mP sounds impressive Sad with classes an diff abilities.... vehicles like tanks an motorcycles and new game modes....an up to 24 ppl onlinee...if this all happens i will buy the game, sounds real fun. i dont know much about BIA MP an if the kind folks at gearbox could give us a rough estimate i wouldnt have to drewl over CoD when it just went into production not too long ago... even the singleplayer looks interesting on CoD....hopefully gearbox can be creative,bcuz im really lookin forward to BIA HH.

I'm not being fanboyish, but the only thing I think COD3 will do good is the other nationalities being playable. If you watch gameplay videos, you'll see that the up-close fights are dumb (slo-mo is not cool anymore, dips!), and tank control is noit what it used to be (why use binocs to target a window 10 yards away (it's called pointing!). Maybe I'm just in a bad mood, or maybe I'm right, either way BIA=Better than COD.

The Outfit isn't really a franchise cuz there are no other games(yet). But let the guys at COD show biased(right word?) facts, that means they have nothing else to show. THEY'RE WEAK!!!!!!! Demonic

I´m agree with all taht was saying by sawboy2, BiA´s multiplayer is more funy and realistic than CoD´s multiplayer, if you try make a tactical movement in this game one of your teammates ****ing your tactical movement a killed or your squad and yourselft.
And I don´t like the CoD´s objetives.


"they have enlisted with us, the have embraced our cause spontaneously and voluntarily , because was the cause of the freedom. They was truly combatants of the freedom. Many of them fall.The graves of their deads lay outs the glorious and painful route that they followed from Normandy to Berchtesgaden, and the survivors had got the proud and satisfation of finished the war in the Nazism´s shrine"-Capt.Raymond Dronne, refiring to the Spanish that formed LA NUEVE

Hi All

New to the forum, old to BiA. I know it was said that MP was to be diff, but I would like to see it change alittle to more of a traditional MP (12V12 TDM, Conquest, Flag ect). I tried playing a few times but moved back to CoD2, BF2. For me I like to see BiA:HH MP have no more AI's and its real player behind the other characters on your team but with still useing tactics and commands from the Leader but the game will have to force gamers to work togeter by giving points, If you get a team of loanwolfs and complet all the objectives and kill all the enamy your team should still lose because they didn't work together. Don't get me wrong I do like to use tactics even in MP its just the AI's I don't like for MP, Working together wins you 1/2 the Battle. A Squad leader could say to the 50cal team "Move to that postion" yellow smoke will pop-up, and on the 50cal teams compass its a yellow area that they can set-up in just not on the smoke alittle freedom to move in but if they move out of the area the game could say if you stay out of the "yellow" area your team will lose points give the option to have mics in the game to talk to your team and squad leader and say to the leader "I need to move up I will have a better postion".

Sorry for the long post.
thanks

that seems too complicated, but i would like the CoD2 crouching system, like if ur crouching ur silent an running ur loud, that way there could be stealth along with MP, to ambbush an enemy in secret, i always seem to crouch in CoD an always hear other ppl, an id like that in BIA

That would be good, but I would like to hear some rattling sound of the person when hes crouching, I think you would atleast hear the sound of his clothes moving and the ammo hes carrying.

BIA:EIB is the best WWII FPS Multiplayer game because of the BOTs in both MP mode and COOP mode, i have to say that is the big reason !

and i also hope in BIA:HH under the power of new Unreal3 engine , BIA:HH 's BOT will be back , and will be better (more active in all locations of the maps) Smile

The Best MP Game in the world without Players is useless. As repetitive as CoD is, it Has Players, and lots of them. Morning, Noon, and Night. 24/7

That what BiA needs . . . Lots and Lots of Players.

I'm excited that BiA:HH will bring them in !

the fact that a website is poutting out such nonsense like "you cant control your sqaud" is pathetic, its exactly the same game play as in EIB and RTH30 only thing ios you need to you twice the tactics and its 100 tiomes better and realisatc.
