Hello everyone,
I've been playing BC2 again recently and I kept getting an odd feeling that the game was alright but not as good as it could have been. I mean, I played every BF game from 1942, Vietnam, 2, and 2142 and love every single one of them but when I play BC2 I do have fun but I also feel as if I should be pissed off for some reason. After thinking about it, I have come to some conclusions as to why I feel this way and was wondering if anyone else shared these gripes in regards to BC2.
Good:
Stable community
Interesting Perks/Upgrades
Decent destructability
Alright campaign (For a BF game)
Bad:
Bloom: Why is it when I'm in the desert I can't look out of a tanks targetting reticle without being blinded or having a very hard time seeing anything?
Gunplay: It's fast and fun at times but it removes all feel of this being a "realistic" or even a modern engagement and just a relative of MW.
Vehicles: Alright I understand vehicles were overpowered in previous games but come on, they shouldn't die as quickly and should be able to turn the tide of a battle more easily. Yes modern infantry do have capabilities to destroy a tank but not every unit would contain the weapons to do so. Add in that the majority of tanks also have counter-measures to anti-tank weaponery that infantry do carry. Helicopters are fly-by-night (No pun intended) vehicles in which the majority of players will launch with out the driver and either drive it into a tank or bail mid-air to get to the battle. An Apache is not a transport helicopter and shouldn't be treated as such.
Explosives: This is my biggest gripe with the game. I can understand infantry having grenades on them as most modern armies equip their infantry with such weaponry. However, that doesn't take into the count the rocket spam and the mortar spam that can completely ruin your strategies. I understand destructabily is suppose to even the playing field from campers and such but god help me when a building is actually more dangerous to be in then being out in the open due to the wall exploding in your face every five seconds.
Knives: Stabby Stabby..... Ok, I can assume that a knife would be able to take down a person pretty quickly if you snuck up on them. (BF 2142/2 for instance) The thing that urks me is that when clearing I'm out a building, walking through a door, having a cup of tea all of a sudden I'm in killcam mode due to some guy who instead of being quick with the trigger finger was quicker with the knife button. Come on, the knife should be a last resort weapon not the bloody weapon of choice.
Lack of Commander: The matches all see to be run around, kill a bunch, and sometimes capture. Yes I loved this in games like UT2K4 but it doesn't belong in Battlefield games. This game should have more coordination and objectives. Add the old perks of removing Mortar strikes from the average dude and giving it to the guy who is coordinating an attack while also using spy planes to get enemy positions makes more sense to me.
Anyways, enough ranting for one day. Yes I enjoy the game but every time I load it up these gripes are always in my face and making it less enjoyable then it should be. Anyone else have the same problems?
