Bad Company 2 = Trash

1. The campaign was awful. It was filled with so many cliches (explosive barrels placed everywhere, etc), plot holes and mindless shooting galleries. I couldnt even believe how Dice could have let this happen.Forgettable characters, forgettable missions, forgettable scenarios...forgettable game. Lets not even touch on how pretty much all the buildings were COPIED AND PASTED.Lol are you kidding? Only like four types of buildings? MOST OF WHICH WERE PLUCKED OUT OF THE FIRST BAD COMPANY? Wow...just wow.

2. EA's servers are god awful. Constant "rubber banding" occurs (this is when you take a few steps forward and slowly slide back or teleportto where you were originally, VERY FRUSTRATING and I have a 54mbs connection) ontop of the fact that your bullets only register half the time. Use a shotgun and you'll see what I'm talking about. You'll shoot someone in the back pointblack and it wont register at all.

3. If you plan on having fun in the low levels, then forget it. The last thing I'd call this game is an even playing field. I find it disturbing how people cry about Modern Warfare 2 being an uneven playing field while pardoning Bad Company 2 when itis the exact same thing. There are perks just like in CoD (Magnum ammunition = Stopping Power, Ceramnic Armor = Juggernaught, Explosives Package = Danger Close, etc) and unlike CoD, new players are COMPLETLEY SCREWED. All you'll be doing in the low levels is dying, dying and dying. Even if you're skills are actually pretty decent, you'll still be getting screwed over all the time. The starting weapons are COMPLETELY USELESS, except for the M24 for the Recon class.

4. Sluggish controls on the console version, the maximum sensitivity is low, assumablybecause Dice doesnt want you to witness this game's terrible frame rate.

5. Clear inbalanaces. So let me get this right, there is absolutely NOTHING overpowered about having tanks that can fire their TWO-shot-to-kill turretsINCESSANTLY with PERFECT accuracy ACROSS the map? Just destroy it? It takes about four rockets to bring down a tank (the engineer class is useless). Use teamwork? Well 75% of the people on your team will either be snipers or medics...what happens once you destroy it? It respawns four seconds later...

6. Oh and like in Call of Duty, this game has a magical knife that allows the user to lunge half a mile through whizzing shrapnel, stab somebody in the leg and kill them, all while getting shot at by 5x56 NATO rounds.

7. Shotguns are more effective then snipers. Putting slugs on a pump action shotguns allows the user to ONE HIT KILL people from ACROSS the map since the slugs are somehow not affected by gravity like all the other weapons. Dont believe me?

• Choose the medic class so you can heal yourself (assault works too to refill ammo)
• Pick a pump action shotgun as your primary
• Use the slugs "perk"
• ???
• PROFIT!

8.Just like in CoD the game features INSANE spawn camping. Look at Laguna Alta for example. You can go into thebases of the opposite team and just mess everyone up who spawns. Just park yourBradley APC outside and PROFIT because guess what? There's only onetiny narrow exit out of each base so if you're that unlucky guy that just got tossed into a game where the other team has capped all the flags, you're pretty much screwed. Wow Dice just wow. Another EXCELLENT design choice.

9. The game store allows you to purchaseDLC ALREADY ON THE MOTHER FLUPPING DISC. Nuff said

10. Team work in this game is an ILLUSION. I have no idea what you fanboys aresmoking. Watch carefuly. Watch as that Recon sits there in that bush refusing to disarm the bomb, despite the fact that he's two meters away from it. Watch carefuly as the medic refuses to heal you and insists on spamming his machine gun. Watch carefuly as despite being in the same squad and having the same objective, the two idiots who spawn on you run in the opposite direction, towards the tank so they can spawn trap and butt rape the other team to increase their K/Ds, instead of arming the damn bomb.

11. Pretty much everyone plays as the Medic class...or Recon. Why wouldnt they? As a Medic you'll have a gun that does high damage, fires with 0 recoil and comes equiped a never ending 100-200 round magazine. Oh and did I mention you'll have the ability to heal yourself and torture your team-mates by reviving theminfront of the tank that just blew them to smitherins and thus forcing them to die again 2 seconds later?

12. No lean, no prone and no selective fire. On the PC version, you have to HOLDcntrl to stay crouched. WTF?

13. Only around three new weapons were introduced (GK, m93r, An94 Abakan)...and no, the M1 Garand and Thompson dont count because they were just copied and pasted from BF1943.

14. There's nothing to do once you hit level 22. Our criticism for Bad Company was that they should have increased the rank cap (it was 25 I think). So what did Dice do? They increased it alright...BUT NOW THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NO INCENTIVE TO RANK UP BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING TO BLOODY UNLOCK FROM 22-50.

Any "lol u jus angry cos u suck" comments will be shrugged off. My K/D is 1.4 thank you very much. Not the best, but its better then at least halfof the people who play this game:D

You may not like the game, but saying it's trash is just asinine..

Also, if Bad Company is trash, what is Modern Warfare 2?

So do you think MOH is going to be any better or worst?

I hope they can fix the lag because I don't see how they are going to make the expansion pack sell.

Ok ok I was over-exaggerating. I'm actually enjoying this game. But some of you guys are parading around the place and acting as if its the best damn thing that has happened to shooters, all while ignoring its glaring flaws.

who's forcing you to play this game. me... if i don't like a game i just don't play it.

Sounds like you just suck. I played on my friends account to unlock stuff for him from rank 1 and I can still get a positive K/D easily and arm/cap objectives. Sure, the knife may be broken, but it only happens sometimes, and the AN-94 is way too powerful, but that's supposed to be fixed with the next patch.DragonfireXZ95

From sites like Planetbattlefield they say that the PC version has lag too. I am playing BC2 on my 360 and I have lag and teleporting that it becomes really bad sometimes and I'll like to quit the game. DICE use to make really great shooters but now I think they are going down hill.

Thats because they never played the previous battle field games, also for the campaign the reason it was terribly cliched is because it was making fun of FPS stories its not serious at all DICE arent a singleplayer Dev they make multiplayer and they are possibly the best at it, but badcompany is not even near their best work.

[QUOTE="xhawk27"]

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"]\ I'm in the MOH beta, it's much worse. Plays just like CoD4, arcade noobness galore. And all my friends and I are going to get the expansion pack, because BC2 is a pretty amazing game.DragonfireXZ95

There's a server filter to only find servers in your region you know. And you really have no right to complain, I live in Australia where the Internet is utter crap and I get under 100 ping.

[QUOTE="DragonfireXZ95"][QUOTE="Kimbo_Slyce"]The lag IS THAT BAD. Unless ofcourse, you live in the same neighborhood where one of EA's servers is....try using a shotgun. Have fun shooting marshmallows.

Kimbo_Slyce

I haven't played any BF games online since BF:2142 on the PC, primarily because EA servers are probably one of (if not the) worst game servers I've ever had the misfortune of playing on. Until EA sort this out (or use the Xbox Live servers) then I can't see myself buying BC2 or MoH anytime soon.

Sure, Mw2 may be pretty arcade but you can at least enjoy a relatively lag-free game.

An ok campaign + the best multiplayer experience available = great game to me

SDM is a campfest, the other modes are great, especially Rush. But unless there's an objective, there will be major camping all around. Stay away from SDM.

1. The campaign was awful. I think most people buy Battlefield games for the multiplayer.

2. EA's servers are god awful. I've never had any lag.

3. If you plan on having fun in the low levels, then forget it. I unlocked everything a long time ago and with practice every weapon is a killing machine, it just takes experience.

4. Sluggish controls on the console version, the maximum sensitivity is low, assumablybecause Dice doesnt want you to witness this game's terrible frame rate. I actualy think the sensitivity is too high and it has a very silky framrate when everything around you is blowing up.

5. Clear inbalanaces. So let me get this right, there is absolutely NOTHING overpowered about having tanks that can fire their TWO-shot-to-kill turretsINCESSANTLY with PERFECT accuracy ACROSS the map? Just destroy it? It takes about four rockets to bring down a tank (the engineer ****is useless). Use teamwork? Well 75% of the people on your team will either be snipers or medics...what happens once you destroy it? It respawns four seconds later... Tanks are very easy to take out unles they keep moving, which makes it harder for the driver to aim.

6. Oh and like in Call of Duty, this game has a magical knife that allows the user to lunge half a mile through whizzing shrapnel, stab somebody in the leg and kill them, all while getting shot at by 5x56 NATO rounds. Since the last patch the knife is broken, you can stab at somone 3 times at close range and nothing.

7. Shotguns are more effective then snipers. Putting slugs on a pump action shotguns allows the user to ONE HIT KILL people from ACROSS the map since the slugs are somehow not affected by gravity like all the other weapons. Dont believe me? Slugs are still a pain in the arse because of the huge recoil and slow reload. They'll never beat a sniper rifle with magnum ammo at long range.

8.Just like in CoD the game features INSANE spawn camping. Look at Laguna Alta for example. You can go into thebases of the opposite team and just mess everyone up who spawns. Just park yourBradley APC outside and PROFIT because guess what? There's only onetiny narrow exit out of each base so if you're that unlucky guy that just got tossed into a game where the other team has capped all the flags, you're pretty much screwed. Wow Dice just wow. Another EXCELLENT design choice. Agreed

9. The game store allows you to purc haseDLC ALREADY ON THE MOTHER FLUPPING DISC. Nuff said Agreed

10. Team work in this game is an ILLUSION. I have no idea what you fanboys aresmoking. Watch carefuly.

Watch carefuly as despite being in the same squad and having the same objective, the two idiots who spawn on you run in the opposite direction, towards the tank so they can spawn trap and butt rape the other team to increase their K/Ds, instead of arming the damn bomb. Agreed, but it still has more teamwork than most games.

11. Pretty much everyone plays as the Medic ****..or Recon. Why wouldnt they?

Oh and did I mention you'll have the ability to heal yourself and torture your team-mates by reviving theminfront of the tank that just blew them to smitherins and thus forcing them to die again 2 seconds later? Medics die more often than any other ****

12. No lean, no prone and no selective fire. On the PC version, you have to HOLDcntrl to stay crouched. WTF? No prone or selective fire keeps the pace and weapon balancing up.

13. Only around three new weapons were introduced (GK, m93r, An94 Abakan)...and no, the M1 Garand and Thompson dont count because they were just copied and pasted from BF1943. Agreed

14. There's nothing to do once you hit level 22. Our criticism for Bad Company was that they should have increased the rank cap (it was 25 I think). So what did Dice do?

Yeah I hear that DICE is taking longer to patch for the PC than on the consoles. If I had a better videocard I would get the PC version.

Actually, I can't look at it, it won't update. :P

But, I'm not questioning it, I didn't know you were playing the console version at first.

I played 1 round on the 360, and I got first on the team and it was my first and only time playing. Seems like a lot of people don't know what to do to help the team or rack up points.
