Battlefield: Bad Company 2 xperia exclusive - Xperia Play General

Anyone tried this game yet? It's from EA and there were no big announcements for it.
It is a first person shooter and they "fixed" the right touch pad.... I personally think they should give option of swipe turning and hold to turn.. I'm hating the hold to turn option.

I Haven't tried this game but I prefer the hold to turn control myself.

Looks pretty cool, but from what I heard, the gameplay sucks.

poor controls, poor graphics

downloading, will try the 60 mins trial first..

What are you talking about? The graphics are killer for a phone. And the controls are great. The game gives you option to choose between "real analog stick" and "swipe to move". What more do you want? Give it time and i promise you you'll get the hang of it

The right stick is INSANELY hard to use, it feels basically like they designated the right stick to be a small touchscreen....so youre swiping just like you would on the screen as opposed to the emulation/feel of a real analog stick....SO annoying/hard to get used to

wow, can't believe I'm one of the few that can work it just fine. I think this game controls great using default style.

Are you using the right stick to aim? you don't find it incredibly jumpy?

Onlive Android app

Anyone on GB roms tried yet on vibrant? Reviews look pretty cool of you have fast wifi. This is the second app (Skype ffc video call being first) that makes me miss GB.
I second that. I use it on froyo and can do everything but play games. I wanna know if on GB if you can play the games?

There are about 30 games that have touch controls, the rest are controller or kb/m. I believe more games will get touch controls in time. The touch controls are specific to each game like specialized button layouts and some games like Split / Second have a slider instead of a button, to mimic pressure sensitivity. That means each game has to be set up and tested individually to find the best layout.

i guess if they make some generic xbox360 like controls for all games it would save them much hustle and make touch compatible games come out faster , also they should push all the on screen buttons to the edges of the screen cause some games are like having controls all over the screen , kinda annoying , but the idea itself of the whole onlive thingy is great cause it takes mobile gaming to a whole new level provided that a good internet connection is available....

MC3 does any one else feel like the run should be L and aim should be dpad up instead

MC3 does any one else feel like the run should be L and aim should be dpad up instead of the other wqy around
I agree that run should be something else but aiming has to be L. Running could be triangle and dpad up enable kill streak.

I got over 300 kills so far and only 1 death in multiplayer. Controls could be worse, ask the guy whos thumb was in the way while i shot him in the face 50 times.

That sounded deliciously cruel.
I feel like they could've made it like shadow guardian where circle is run(and with that said, I'm happy as hell to see that it aims nothing like shadow guardian). I'm actually kinda getting used to up though.
and lmao @ torturing touch screen users. There was some dude on my YouTube channel just cussing about the unfair advantage xperia play users get
Sent from my Herotab C8 using XDA App
Interestingly , we're the ones with a disadvantage , in a way.
Its like the mouse v analog issue, they can turn faster and aim more accurately whereas we can aim more precisely,
Then the fact that we have a clear screen kinda dissolves it ,
from tapatalk on xperia play.
Aiming should be up? What the f*ck are you smoking?
a big NO
triangle could have been throw grenade not change weapon since it's already done by the D-pad
and circle should have been sprint, just like in Rainbow Six, and not throw grenade
L is well good for aim like any other FPS game, it makes good combination with R as shoot

Discovered small "easter-egg" which may surprise you ;)

Take your Xperia Play box in your hands and look at the main side (big XPERIA PLAY and two photos of the phone). Look at the second, right photo and look at the place near right trigger. See little engraved Camera-shape?
It means that the right trigger might be planned to be used as shutter button for our Plays but in some reason this idea was withdrawn and original Plays are without this engraved shape. I wonder why
Surprised? I am
Cheers!
You are correct. Nice find.
I am just surprised that this function was not included in the phone. Seems like a basic camera function on a phone like this.
Yeah awesome find dude. I am also surprised this was not included on the actual phone.
My right button trigger takes photos, you guys now theres a mod for it on these forums right?

Yes. That mod bugs out on me though. Ceases to function often so I rather not use it at all. Point is we shouldn't have to mod to get that function. It must have been officially planned at some point.
Yeah, nice find.. the L and R buttons look a little curved too
Whats even more surprising to me is you can pinch the screen and have an overview of the widgets, and you can shake it
Found that by chance when it was in my pocket :S

Yeah, pretty cool function. I've discovered it too, unexpectadely when I was testing multitouch. It causes a little jaw drop and jealousy in my friends' faces and they say the want it too on their phones (SGS 2, Galaxy Tab, Optimus 3D). Mwhahahahahaha >:-D
Also using two fingers is very helpful in scrolling up or down quickly if there's lot of a text or menu buttons (ex. Settings or text communicators, doesn't work in web browsers). You have to place them next to each other but not very close and slide both fingers up or down to scroll very very quickly. The position of displayed text is adequate to the position of the fingers - the end of options/text at the lowest part of the screen and the beginning of options/text at the highest part of the screen. Tried this on SGS and Optimus and these phones doesn't have that function, strange.
Try it if you didn't know about that

Yeah but it records HD in the 3gp container instead of mp4, bit annoying
It shouldn't be so, but pressing x takes photos.
That little camera icon and the Hdmi thing makes you wonder what else they got rid of.

It worked but what does shaking do? What's the point? Not only the shaking, but the pinching/widget overview thing?

Shaking isn't needed for anything but tapping on a widget will bring you to that screen suppose it could save someone about a millisecond rather then switching screens

how in the heck to use play's touchpads in games?....

I been playing nova 2 and shadow gun on my play 4 and how in the heck do the touchpads controls work. It just seems like it doest register well is there a proper way to using them.
I end up using the d-pad for movement and use the right touchpad for camera movement but even with that touchpad only still have a hard time using it. anyone know what up? thannks

Hey, Shadowgun and Nova two do not require any special settings touse the touchpads. Either try re-installing the games or you may have a issue with your Play.

Sorry I'm not to clear, the touchpads work but what the key in using them?
There is no key they're just lame. It does take getting used to.

I found them so bad and usable that I haven't touched them in weeks
I think it depends on the game.
Onlive and Minecraft uses them well, but most others don't. I think the trick is to treat them like miniature LCDs. The apps that use them poorly tend to treat them as touch sensitive buttons (u,d,l,r).
I just pretend like it's a thumbstick and slide my finger around from the middle. Seems to work ok. Not a fan of the touchpads. They work, but why they did not make a mini-stick like the PSPGo is beyond me.

Connect your Moga in Mode B. Once connected, start an app/game that you want to create a profile for. Once in the game, long press the Start button and overlay will appear on screen. Part of the overlay will be a toolbar with various icons on. Drag the function you want to assign to the screen and place it where you want (LS = left stick for example). Once you have placed something on screen, long pressing it will bring up a menu that allows you move the item or select other functions. For the analogue sticks you can use buttons Y and A to increase or decrease the size of the stick which will change the way it responds in game. Trial and error
thanks man, now time to play armoured aces on the tv happy days !

Cool
I was hoping to use the mapper with Modern Combat 3 but for some reason the Kit Kat update seems to have killed that particular game - it crashes after checking the licence which is really annoying...
I'm having a weird issue where I have to move the analogue stick up and down for left and right when a game map is in use. Is there a setting somewhere which will correct this?
UPDATE:
Figured out it's just on Real Racing 3 (I haven't got many games installed yet) and I presume it's down to the gyroscope problem which TN7 owners seem to have.
Hopefully RR3 will get a fix for that. Quite annoying though, as using the analogue stick on mapping instead doesn't seem to fully turn the virtual steering wheel so I can't get round corners, ha!

In case anyone is still interested, RR3 implemented controller support into the game. My Moga Pro works well.
The only issue is after the last OTA update from nvidia, the game is pretty much unplayable. All audio is horrifically choppy and the game feels a bit laggy too.
To say I'm really cheesed off is an understatement. I do love that game
According to me, EA does not love a Taiwanese Tegra, Nvidia
