Bad Company 2 = Complete Garbage

How can a retail release be worse than the beta? Some of the obvious problems I have noticed with BC2

A. Occasionally cannot even connect to the EA login servers

B. Getting randomly kicked from maps after loading in. This will happen several times in a row

C. My veteran unlock (The M1 Garand) disappeared and is no longer available

D. Alot of the servers have HORRIBLE lag. I had a 600 ping on one, with most others having pings in the 300s

E. SStatus updates take forever

F. It seems more difficult to kill people now, requiring several shots

G. The server browser is busted, not properly displaying server pings and being slow to refresh. Although every BF game has done this

H. The first mission in the campaign is absolutely terrible

Battlefield Bad Company = Pure awesome

- Great sound editing

- Awesome online play

- Great gameplay

- Good level design

- Team work is needed

- Nice graphics

- Singleplayer better then I expected

- Runs very well

- Havnt been kicked out of a game or crashed to desktop yet

"H. The first mission in the campaign is absolutely terrible"

Why? is there something wrong with it, or you just don't like it?

One persons garbage is another persons treasure...

The first mission is like they tried to go for that cinematic feel of CoD but didn't succeed. The gameplay is also clunky in the first mission. It's also just ridiculous the way things unfold. A powered boat 2 feet under an enemy without them noticing? Give me a break.

While I think both games are good, MW2 is just not as good imo. Bad Company 2's sound and environments feel better. I feel that multiplayer is pretty different. MW2 maps are mostly pretty small while BC2 is more like an actual battle. I like driving UAVs,helicopters,tanks, and whatnot.

I agree, I think BC2 is overrated.JigglyWiggly_

As for the Login issues, that's EA's servers being overloaded.

The server crashing has been fixed as I just played in a server for 6 hours straight without crashing.

I personally think this blows modern warfare out of the water, but it's definetly not a perfect game... there are no perfect games.

You title should read "Bad Company 2 Release = Complete Garbage"... you haven't said anything about the game really.

I think the game is amazing; large battles, destructible environs., vehicles and meaningful teamplay.

The onlien is awesome and the singleplayer is good fun to. Definatly reccomend this game.

I personally feel like everything in Battlefield is better then COD.

This is way more team oriented then COD has been lately, another reason why im enjoying it more.

Bad Company2 also is more rewarding, it takes longer to master it, so at first it might be a little frusterating, but once you get better its fantastic.

[QUOTE="zomglolcats"][QUOTE="dakan45"] Hmm, if thats so, then its funny how people expected this game to be the next coming on jesus and it has so many issues just like mw2. Second the reason i dont like mp, is because its hard to kill enemies, they miss that cod feel that weapons are effective and players die easilly. Also now you say its even harder to kill them :cry: Finally its sad that the compaign is not as good as cod.dakan45

If you are buying this for the single player you should pass, the multiplayer is where it shines.

Then again, the single player IS good but I won't finish it because SP is not what BF games are about, so ... if you like war games just buy it lol.

Agreed, if it was like MW2 I would just play cod4, BC2 is a new experience - enhanced even.

I love the teamwork aspect of it.

This made me LOL. I mean you do not like a game because you can not get the hang of it? Please! I also think they were trying to miss the CoD feel, THANK GOD!millerlight89

It made you lol because you did not understand it ;) Unlike you i dont like much fps that you have to shoot someone many times. I think i have pointed that before in stalker. I would have prefer weapons being more effective. It has nothing to do with "getting the hang of it" It has to do with the fact that the gameplay is designed in a way that it will take plenty of shots to kill someone. For example in arma 2 it takes quite a few bullets. But many people still cant get the hang of it and keep dying!! It has to do with how the gameplay is, for example if you compare counter strike with cod, in counterstrike its harder to kill enemies. That however does not make the game harder. Infact it makes it easier because in cod if someone shoots you, you are dead but in counter strike you can survive quite often. Ofcourse there are headshots but i am talking about weapon damage and recoil.

See how you had a wrong assumption from what i really meant? As for :

"I also think they were trying to miss the CoD feel"

Thats where you are wrong, if anything they try to make the game like cod and compete with cod. They said that and if you play the singleplayer compaign you will hear various cod jokes and the missions remind alot the way missions in cod are! If anything, they were trying to make it "feel" like cod.

f you are buying this for the single player you should pass, the multiplayer is where it shines.Then again, the single player IS good but I won't finish it because SP is not what BF games are about, so ... if you like war games just buy it lol.haberman13

Well i am mainly interested for the singleplayer because i loved bad company 1 singleplayer, i thought the gameplay in the compaign was even better than cod4.But it seems that they tweaked the gunplay for the pc version. In ps3 beta the gameplay felt much like the original but from the pc gameplay i have seen, it seems like they made it somewhat harder to kill the players, like they messed with the weapon mechanics or statistics, damage and recoil. If thats the case then i will propably get the console version.

Thats my dilema, wish there was an actual demo, because i could not sign for the pc beta. Atleast i can rent it on ps3 and check it out.

It doesnt take tons of shots to kill someone in ARMA2, you can take people out with one to two shots......
Same with Counterstrike... I get killed many times with one shot..

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"]I agree, I think BC2 is overrated.millerlight89

Good to know, but i thought they made the beta to test the game on the mp stability? No? Just me making a wrong assumption then ;)dakan45

Well yeah, but a beta can only test for so much. EA's server load in the beta was nothing compared to what it is for this launch.

It's not like the beta was for nothing, though. They implemented a *ton* of suggestions with regards to gameplay.

I was a hardcore CoD/IW supporter up until they started selling their souls and making worse games with each newer release. I enjoyed BF2 alot but I have to admit that I am enjoying BFBC2 as much as Crysis in SP mode so far. I didn't enjoy the demo online but am hoping they will add coop and polish this game up.

The graphics, physics, storyline and gameplay have kept me playing and wanting to keep playing. I think they made the game feel more like a FPS than BF2 ever did.

I find myself entertained and having fun... In SP anyways time will tell about my MP experience.

Yeah the game sucks IMO, I loved BC1 and even preordered BC2. The beta was a huge disappointment, everybody who played the beta and went to the forums would tell you those problems were present a month ago and the devs refused to do anything about our concerns. Those forums were also full of fanboys saying it was only beta and that they would change it, well they didn't and those fanboys moved here to tell you that you're an idiot for not liking their game. OnFive

I respect your opinion, but I was in the beta and the devs actually did improve on a lot of stuff. Number one was game performance. I went from steady 40fps on max (DX10) to a steady 55-60fps on max (DX10) and the actual game does have those higher resolution textures they promised. The game looks great!

I'm not here to say the game is perfect (because it isn't), but it's a damn good game and probably one of my more favourite FPSes in the last two years. It's only been out for 2 days now and the servers are having way less issues. It's hard for the servers to stay in perfect condition when x million users are pounding at it at the exact same time.

What do you expect from a consolized game? 04dcarraher

This is true.

BF2/BF2142 are better than this game. BF3 will be the one to buy.

Bad Company 2 has been really great so far. The multiplayer is extremely fun. I'm only a bit of the way into the single player campaign; It's pretty good, though a little rough along the edges so far.

Anyone remember the quote in BC2's single player where they make fun of the heartbeat sensor?Pvt_r3d

I almost spit water through my nose on that... The commie, pinko, hippie pilot is funny also.

How can a retail release be worse than the beta? Some of the obvious problems I have noticed with BC2

A. Occasionally cannot even connect to the EA login servers

B. Getting randomly kicked from maps after loading in. This will happen several times in a row

C. My veteran unlock (The M1 Garand) disappeared and is no longer available

D. Alot of the servers have HORRIBLE lag. I had a 600 ping on one, with most others having pings in the 300s

E. SStatus updates take forever

F. It seems more difficult to kill people now, requiring several shots

G. The server browser is busted, not properly displaying server pings and being slow to refresh. Although every BF game has done this

H. The first mission in the campaign is absolutely terrible

and thats why im glad i have an xbox 360 so i oont have to deal with PC bugs i cant stand those sometimes.

Servers are overloaded. Performance issues are to be expected with the launch of a title this big. People will have forgotten all about the terrible launch issues within a few days.

B. Getting randomly kicked from maps after loading in. This will happen several times in a row

EA fixed this early today. Unfortunately not all of the server providers have applied the patch yet..but if you filter out servers with "R4" in the title, you can play on those servers without issue ("R4" servers are confirmed as updated.) This also only affects certain accounts *NOT* everyone. I know because I was affected by it, but none of my friends were.

C. My veteran unlock (The M1 Garand) disappeared and is no longer available

Yeah, happening to everyone AFAIK, myself included. This bug isn't really bothering me though..the tiny clip makes the weapon impractical to use anyway. Stick with your unlock weapons.

D. Alot of the servers have HORRIBLE lag. I had a 600 ping on one, with most others having pings in the 300s

Do you not understand how ping works? Play on severs near your area and you won't have pings issues. Jesus.

E. SStatus updates take forever

You mean the server browser refresh? It's not that bad, but I will agree that it's a bit too long.

F. It seems more difficult to kill people now, requiring several shots

Lol, no. Damage has been significantly increased (something like 25%), and the game's hit detection is also much better. You're the first person I've seen claim this.

G. The server browser is busted, not properly displaying server pings and being slow to refresh. Although every BF game has done this

Run the game as administrator and you'll see pings. EA/DICE are working on a proper fix.

H. The first mission in the campaign is absolutely terrible

Why are you playing the campaign again..?HooahDOc

I wasnt to impressed with the Bad Company2 beta, but the full version is very good.
Conquest mode is way better then Rush and also they put the worst map in the beta.

Also singleplayer is better then i expected, great job DICE.

Not on BF2 level, but still very fun imo online.

It's a tighter BF2 experience, the environments, sounds, graphics, guns and destruction are all better... BF2 had bigger maps and planes, I don't think I could go back.

PR is good though, this is more arcadey than that obviously, but more fun as well IMO.

Yea , i know its more arcade than PR :D

Ill probably will wait for some sort of sale tho (49 euros for the game ?! a bit too much)

PS. PR is insane fun with team-mates who know what they are doing :P

Bad Company 2 is complete crap in my honest opinion

The Franchise should have ended with only Bad Company, now there is a 2nd one!?

Oh boy, just like Call of Duty has gone to hell..
