BFBC2: A poke in the eye to IW?
Written by jockyitch

DICE apparently has a few choice words to say about MW2, or so it seems. BFBC2's SP has some rather undisguised dialog criticizing the Infinity Ward's shooter. It was probably tongue-in-cheek and I'm just wondering whether the boyz at IW will still attend EA's release party after they see this? Oh wait, there's free drinks? They'll be there...nvm.

Here's what I'm talking about, thanks to everyone who linked me (esp. Woodwolf, WdGeiger). The first item references the sci-fi heartbeat monitors found in MW2:

 

The second is a reference to the greatly over-hyped snow-mobiles, a very scripted machine that has very limited scope in MW2's SP and does not appear in MP.

"It's not a snowmobile...snowmobiles are for sissies", says the text. Oh, snap. No you didn't!

 

On another note, seems many are playing with the SP already and Greig81 has sent me some pics:

The first is in DX9. 0xAA, 0xAF and with HSAO off.

This one is in DX11, with 4xAA, 16xAF and HSAO on.
