MW2 vs BFBC2 arguement is getting old.

I mean seriously They are both great games and I'm tired of people saying they hate MW2. People only say this because they aren't very good at the game or they complain about being killed by campers when I myself never have a big issue with camping IW fixed all the early online glitches. MW2 is a awesome game high action high intensity game that why the smaller levels work better.

BFBC2 is also a great game and if your been playing MW2 like I have since it came out its nice to have something new. the maps are huge and are very cool to travel especially with vehicles like Quadbikes my personal favorite. the destructable envirments are also very exciting and play an excellent role in the combat. However the controls in BFBC2 are not as good as MW2 and the game is not quite as sharp MW2 is must faster paced.

Anyways the point of this thread was just to explain too the people that debating on buying either one soon. I have seen many threads where people jump on there complaining about MW2 and BFBC2 is their savior when the honest truth is they weren't very good at MW2 its been getting really riduclous sometimes.

Saw some hate too, made me want to play MW2.

Thanks man atleastI got somebody to agree with me lol

So you have determined that everyone who is bashing on MW2 sucks in MW2? Do you have the proof for that? Videos? Screenshots?

yeah..... ok.... lol

I don't own BC2, but I can tell you right now that it surpasses MW2's mp in many ways you may not agree. They are both FPSs of course, but BC2 is much more tactical and more realistic that does not have that arcady, turbo soldier action that MW2 has. Personally I don't like the turbo soldier type of action cause it looks ridiculous after lookin at others playing online. BC2 looks very polished compared to MW2, as you can see IW hasn't really done a great job releasing the game. It was only a matter of time when people found many glitches within the game (Prestige 10 anyone?), plus the horrible p2p connection, NO dedicated servers for *BLEEP* sake!

In the end though it is about personal taste, you may like the arcady action of MW2, while I like a more realistic tactical shooter like BC2 or KZ2.

They both have their advantages. I agree here

I havent heard anything about any fight involving those 2 games. All ive heard is that MW2 sucks which im starting to agree with because I cant play a game without someone hacking.

I loved COD4 and played it for hundreds of hours

They wrecked MW2 by making it too noob friendly, not to mention the game is glitchy and laggy like hell

I agree, it annoys me when people start arguing saying which one is better. Iend up siding with MW2 most of the time because all aof the haters.For single player they are both awesome, didn't enjoy the multiplayer for BC2, so I'm sticking with MW2 :)

I have a 2.0 kill death ratio and 36k kills on MW2... its multiplayer is shallow and unrefined compared to BFBC2 imo.. its the FPS for casuals.. PoisoN_Facecam0

See! Thats what the guy who created this topic means, you come aross as arrogant thinking you know best. If you don't like MW2 multiplayer, great for you. Millions like it, so no one is going to miss you :roll:

I find it funny that you post this...

I actually prefer BFBC2 over MW2, which I've been playing all the way up to BFBC 2's release. I had been playing for 2 days, and a friend of mine wants to play MW2 because he'd never played online. So he plays and goes 0-10. Then I take over and get him to 12 -10. Then I play another game, couldnt stand watching him destroy my K/D ratio, and go 19 - 6 after he died 4 times.

I love BFBC2 because of the unlocks and the vehicles / environment. It's also much more fun for sniping. Not everyone who prefers BFBC2 is terrible at MW2, I just find that it's a more enjoyable experience. MW2 is an arcade shooter, where BFBC2 isn't so much. They are different games in a sense, you can't compare the two on exactly the same level.

as someone who loves mw2 and has been playing since release I'm going to tell you why bc2 is the better game. I'm only talking multiplayer wise, as what COD brings to the table for single player as well as having co-op really sets it apart from bad company.

Destructible envrionments

Better graphics

Vehicles

Much much much better sound (impressive cuz mw2 has always had good sound)

More players (especially on pc version, but I enjoy the ps3 one a lot as well)

More realistic gun fire/recoil/gravity effecting bullets at longer distances

Combat knife is much more realistic

This next one is really subjective but NO PRONE. IMO prone is important for mw2 because of the size of the maps,but it also really encourages camping. I personally don't like when people complain about camping in mw2 because these people are usually morons who only play TDM and not objective based games. Of course camping/cruising the outside of the map is the most effective in TDM because the entire game is based around killstreaks which brings me to my next point.

Killstreaks detract from the realism of the game because not only are they stupidly overpowered vs the average terrible player, but after I get my killstreaks in a weak game...I usually want to go die so I can start loading them up again WHICH BRNGS ME TO MY NEXT POINT

DYING is insignificant in mw2 except in tdm and even then it's fairly meaningless. DYING MATTERS in bc2 both on offense and defense. Spawn placement is KEY and spawning on your squadmates inherently makes it more team based and gives it a gritty, war like feel.

But the real thing that separates bc2 from mw2 is something that's hard to touch upon because it's pretty tangible but summed up very nicely in the gamespot review

The online multiplayer in this modern military shooter is a standout, featuring huge maps, incredible destructibility, powerful vehicles, and excellent sound design. These elements combine to foster the sense that you are fighting on an actual battlefield, making many other online shooters seem more like combat arenas than believable war zones.

You really do feel like you're out in the world making these pushes and defensive stands where every decision counts. You have so many options on how to play it's disgusting. It's a level of immersiveness that MW2 will never be able to compete with.

And that my friends, is why bc2 is the better multiplayer game.

I will say that mw2 has always had the aiming/shooting mechanics down, and if you're looking for an arcadey shooter, or somewhere to play a quick round, it's your best bet. I haven't touched it since I got bc2 though, and I doubt I will unless my friends want to play it.

I love how the OP wants the debate to stop so he openly pours full on the fire by starting this thread and comparing and contrasting the two games. They're both great games but they're both great in different ways, we get that. I find myself just as annoyed by all these threads as the next guy but I've never legitimately heard a good argument for why one is better than the other.

1st one is good, but graphics is soso. It has too much contrast, so it's either too dark or too bright in BFBC2,and detail is washed out on those part. We call it poor dynamic range in photography. Beside that, frame rate is soslow comparing to mw2's 60 fps. It also has more grpahics glitches than MW2. I perfer killstreak over vehicle, and I have seen ppl in the same team fighting each other for vehicle. or they just wait in vehicle spam area. player #, well BFBC2 has dedicated server, so it surly has much better connection than mw2 which makes it capable to handle more players. However, I enjoy more on a 10-12 ppl game than 20+p games.

Guns, well BFBC2 do have more realistic gun machenics, but MW2 has more realistic gun impact. It takes more shots to kill someone in BFBC2. A lot of ppl perfer realistic gun impact.

Yeah, but it's not going to stop, watchya going to do?

Yeah it is getting very old. But at the end of the day i know MW2 has a stronger online community and will be around a lot longer and more popular then BC2. So my opinion to side with the better game was well placed.

Stronger as in more people right? Cuz it certainly isn't stronger in intelligence and team co-ordination. Bad company 2 just fosters that really well.

Of course there will always be people playing mw2, but bc2 is in no danger of dying for a long long time

It's Cliched to death.

It's cool to hate popular things online.

True. i used to think MW2 was great till i played BC2 and CoD4 again.

I loved COD4 and played it for hundreds of hours

They wrecked MW2 by making it too noob friendly, not to mention the game is glitchy and laggy like hell

i feel the same way. i played cod4 for hundreds of hours too but i cant into MW2 for some reason.

I hate how much MW2 sells when it's so average.

It's even more casual than Madden...

Yeah totally agree, MW2 takes one person with luck to run in and carry a team to a win, while BC2, people like that will be raped by an entire team working together and doing the game PROPERLY.

Eazy1891

I bought this game because i loved the first MW. Millions of people bought this game because of how good MW was. No having lots of people doesn't technically make a game good, but it does in MW2. People play MW2 because it still is the best FPS online experience out there. Just because the majority of these fourms say otherwise doesn't make it true either. My opinion is my own, and i truly believe MW2 is the best online shooter out there, not because this game has the most players, but because it's fun.

I personally didn't buy either. One, because there is too many other fantastic games coming out this year to waste my time with pure shooters; and two, Medal of Honor comes out in September, that was one series I always enjoyed and would love to see it bring Modern War to life.

Actually, the game makes you work together. It isn't like MW2 where you just run around aimlessly and go commando. And it isn't like MAG where you MUST instigate and work together perfectly to get the most enjoyment from the game. The way the maps are structured, the way the mechanics are, the rewards gained from working together pretty much make everyone play as a team. For example, you get a lot of points if you're a good Medic, even more if you heal/revive your own squad. Same goes with ammo kits for the Assault kit, lot of points for helping people out, even more if they are in your squad. BFBC2 makes you crave those points, and in turn you play the best you can, as does the rest of the team.

I have never seen such a fantastic multiplayer that doesn't force teamwork, doesn'tforsake teamwork, but inspires teamwork.

So? Does it matter what the intent is? Who gives a damn if a Medic teammate is helping you because he wants to or not? He wants his points, I don't want to die. Done deal. You're talking about actual intent, an interest in the other players. I don't really give a damn about the other players (except for the friends list, of course) just as they could care less about me. Such is the way of every online multiplayer ever conceived. But that doesn't matter; everyone tries to be the best, and as a result, help eachother. Have you actually played BFBC2, or are you just formulating your own opinion based on others'? Cause it sounds like you really don't know what you're talking about.
