Bfbc2.

some of us started talking about this in the CoD thread.

i haven't played it myself, but the few that have said they prefer CoD over the BFBC2. My little brother complains about the boards being too big.

HEY!!! I sent you a friend request that you have yet to answer!!! Friend me you jerk!!

you're probably right, but then people will only be snipers, whereas in CoD there is a healthy mix between snipers, ARs, and assholes using akimbo 1887s.

Might get this really soon.

I'm a huge fan of BFBC2 (PC).

I believe that he game has greater depth in gameplay than a MW2 type shooter. It also has much more team and goal oriented maps and modes, with the Rush being a very good battle type simulation. The sound is incredible and battles really come alive. There are a wide variety of weapons and gadgets with upgrades, without any one being imbalanced like you often find in MW2. Vehicles, while being a source of great power, can easily be neutralized by just a few players working together with tracer darts, rockets, mines, or C4. Sniping isn't as rampant as previous versions due to the lack of "prone", forcing players to move around more often as it's easier to be spotted. The socialize button, allowing you to mark enemy units for all your team to see (on map as well as on the HUD) also allows you to help curb enemy attacks and notify the team when heavier weapons are needed to take down a tank.

Yes the maps are large but that's mostly to accommodate the use of vehicles and to create a larger theatre, there are smaller maps available as well, with 32 people playing it rarely feels "huge". The game isn't quite as "smooth" as MW2 but I think it adds a gritty feel to the game, with the camera shaking from tank shells and mortar fire to being hit by enemies preventing you from getting a good bead on your target. The squad system helps to really make a cohesive unit, allowing you to spawn on squad mates and gain more points for heals, ammo, repairing, and reviving your members.

My only gripe really is the occasional disconnect from EA online; something that's been going on since launch and still hasn't been fully addressed

In the end, BFBC2 and MW2 are quite different in styles, with BFBC2 providing a larger scale battle simulation which can get very frenzied compared to the more close quarter run and gun of MW2.

I can't wait to unlock the M-14....

I've heard that everyone just uses a sniper class and camps without even trying to capture the objective. So if you are trying to get to a certain point you just get pegged with sniper fire. Very stat whorish MW2 style of gameplay. For some reason I'm still willing to give this game a shot.

BF are more fun in organized team matches since there are more game play than a FPS like COD or HALO. however PUB games usually filled with snipetards

I find multiplayer to be slow as molasses, which I've since learned is typical of Battlefield games - perhaps because there isn't a server close by. I really enjoyed BFBC 1 on the PS3 and the second version is a letdown on the PC.

The single player campaign is quite fun though - characters are fun.

It's true that there can be a lot of Recons out there sniping, but I find most of them to be pretty ineffective and easy to neutralize when marked, vehicles, mortar strikes, grenades etc will find them. Eventually they get tired of getting blasted and change classes to get things moving.

I find myself playing Recon when my team is lacking them, I usually spot enemies and call mortar strikes on MCOMM stations when charges have been set to prevent the defenders from disarming, while picking off the occasional enemy.


The MP can be excruciatingly slow or rapid fire frenzied depending on the map and the teams. If players are very objective oriented they will form balanced squads, hop on vehicles to get to objectives, and go nuts trying to win it. Last night I was in some VERY heated battles (Rush mode) where things were getting down to the wire, I actually found myself perspiring from the tension and slight adrenaline rush.

I do have to say there have been times where a server is full of duds and that is a load of negative fun. I just look for a different server at that point.

Not sure how the gameplay is on PS3 or 360. I haven't been able to play a Console FPS since Perfect Dark on N64...

Got this yesterday and I'm enjoying it. Reminds me of older FPS, kind of like pre codMW. It definitly has elements that are missing from MW, drawn out battles, go ahead and camp but your wasting your time, you won't get points.

If we must make comparisons I would say MW is like the counter strike series (I love CS and hate to compare the two) arcadey, fast or slow depending on players, even if the map or game type calls for objectives. The players usually control the pace.

BFBC2 is more reminiscent of the older games yes even the COD series before MW. A diverse squad is necessary in order to win especially in rush. I don't get many kills but still manage to hover around top 3 in points, supporting team mates and completing or attempting objective.

And BF:Vietnam was the shit.


Anyone on xbox want to add me?
