why do people keep claiming BC2 is harder than mw2

so my friend let me play it and i find it a lot more easy, i went like 46-9 in my first try :|

Well because you have to work together, you can't do any quickscoping rubbish, and weapons have recoil.

i THINK THAT PPLE WHO PLAY MW2 aren't used to the tactical aspect of BC2 nor the destructive environments they are just used torun and gun but it's actually pretty easy if you think before doing anything

more realistic =/= realistic.

BC2 is more realistic than MW2, fact.

@thread: Who cares which is harder? If you wanna play a hard game, play some Total War or Close Combat on PC. These kinds of games are for fun and entertainment. It doesn't matter which one is "harder" or "more realistic". All that matters is whether you have fun playing it or not.

I especially like in BC2, particularly in Rush Mode, how some games there is basically a bottleneck on the map which creates a "front line" in the battle. This makes you have to work as a team to bust through it. It's just such an epic feeling when your whole team is there pinning down the other team, with a tank or helicopter in support, trying to hold the other team back when you know exactly where they are coming from. On offense especially if your team sucks one individual is not going to break through the line themselves by running and gunning like in MW2 where an individual can just do whatever. You could die 10 straight times and probably not break through on your own in BC2. MW2 doesn't capture this feeling of epic battles at all. In Bad Company 2 it depends as much on what your team is doing. An individual's K/D ratio means nothing. Hell I've had games where I've had much less than 1.0 K/D ratio but I'm the #1 player in terms of points because I'm running up and blowing up vehicles with C4 or getting killed while taking out 3 or 4 of the MCOM's myself. It would be quite easy to have a high K/D ratio in Bad Company 2 if you don't try to take out objectives or if you just sitting back somewhere (i.e. people that snipe from their own base, can't STAND that when I have 3 snipers on my squad all sitting together like useless idiots).2Chalupas

I'll never understand why people even compare them. They are two different types of shooters altogether. MW2 is an arcade style shooter with unrealistic bonuses (and it cant be unbalanced, because everyone has access to the same perks at the same levels). BC2 is more realistic, no perks involved and focuses more on teamwork and objectives. One isn't harder than the other and one doesn't suck over the other. People just gotta chill and play what they enjoy more. Personally I like MW2 more because its faster pace and I don't have to rely on others to survive. Thats just my preference though.

Yeah, it is working as a team. The whole concept of Rush mode in BC2 is built around "attackers vs. defenders". How can that concept be for anything BUT teamwork??? It's incredibly difficult for an individual to break through in stalemated match of BC2, especially on offfense. It doesn't matter how "skilled" you are as an indivudal if the opposing team has a heli in the air, a tank pointed at you, anti-tank mines on the ground, snipers scoped on the chokepoint, etc, then you AREN"T getting through if you act as a lone wolf run and gunner trying to get to the MCOM station. Of course some maps take this to more of an extreme than others (Port Valdez is the first one that comes to mind for me, that one gets crazy sometimes when the defending team gets the upper hand, esp on the 2nd and 3rd sets of MCOM's). Even if you are in a tank you probably will get blown up rather quickly if you try to "charge" on your own. It needs to be coordinated with your squad, or at least wait until you see some other teammates make a move.

I've seen plenty of games in BC2 where the offensive teams run right through and blow up every MCOM in 5 minutes. But when the defense gets the upper hand the offensive team gets slaughtered. I've been in games where I get frustrated at my team being "bogged down" and before I know it I probably die 10 times in a row. (usually what happens is you realize that 8 of your teammates have switched to "recon" class and nobody else on your team is even TRYING to rush the MCOM any more)

I didn't say go Rambo on them. I said it requires skill and not necessarily teamwork. Let's take a game like counterstrike for example. In CS, you run in guns blazin, chances are you'll get shot up. Of course you can't just sit there all day and do nothing right? So you need to go in there from multiple routes (or one route if you expect to just punch through them and camp their base) eventually. Now the #1 thing that gets people killed in CS (from what I've seen) is getting shot by an opponent you didn't know was there. If you knew where every enemy was, it would come down to a shootout between you (and maybe your teammates) and the opposing guys. Because of this, the primary things that will make the difference is who can get the first (accurate) shot off, who has the more effective weapon, and finally who has the most backup. On the other hand, in a match where you don't know where everyone is, you could easily be looking in one direction and get nailed by a sniper from the side. You and your teammates could get flanked and not even know what hit you. Essentially when you know where everyone is, it boils down to who makes the least mistakes and generally those with more skill win.

sorry but mw2 is the definition of unbalanced

however i play it more than bc2 because my friends have it

You're playing against not very well trained people, I did get 79-9 one time, but that's because they had a hard time trying to take me out.:lol:

You actaully have to work well with your team to do well. If your team is just screwing around, your screwed.

Hahahaha!!! Another MW2 fanboy coming to BC2 and the first thing he notes is his kills... yeah typical...JohnF111

Bc2 is alot easier then mw2 becauseMW2 has alot of cheap stuff that makes it harder to counter like killstreaks, perks, etc.
