Actually, it's made by the same developers (most of former 2015 development team = Infinity Ward).WrongSprite said:
I guess they have the right to rip themselves off.
In Battlefield 2142, you can unlock two sprint perks and change the level of armour you have to increase sprint time.Rednog said:
The sniper can actually go nearly invisible.
They must be copies! Plagiarism! Plagiarism!
Precisely. Most games out now take some premise or gameplay elements from previous games.WrongSprite said:
Wow... You fail at logic... and game history
Also; to put it out there; I sincerely hope Bad Company 2 doesn't get massive success, I don't want the MW community ruining a respectable franchise with all the glitching and cheating that goes on there.

This is true. Where on earth OP got the idea that it would regenerate, god knows. If it was due to the lack of an on screen health bar, please see the original Operation Flashpoint.Kazturkey said:
Somebody already made a whole thread about the new Medal Of Honour, yes a whole damned thread over an overhead gunship mission.
Halo Reach perks won't be too similar to CoD perks because the 2 games have completely different playstyles. Halo is much more about running at them, beating them round the head and jumping, whereas CoD has a use for such concepts as cover.
If a game has regenerative health it's a MW clone, if it has a health bar it's a clone of a game with a healthbar, surely there are finite ways you can represent getting shot. It seems there is a culture nowadays to complain about anything which is an adaptation of something else - which is everything.
Were we not to do this, we would scrabble about trying to think of completely new and often hopeless gameplay mechanics, which the grumbly gamer would then complain about instead, saying it should be more like COD. Its the circle of life. Can't we just enjoy the games for what they are, gradually improving the genre as we build upon the strengths of other games?
Look back at a game like The World is Not Enough for the PS1, the controls are functional but incredibly wooden by today's standards. Games like the original halo, and the early call of dutys were built on those mechanics, allowing a finer and manipulation of the character within the game. Case in point, using R1/RT to fire rather than, of all things 'X' which was hopeless. Now, we have a choice. Should we keep our control schemes similar to call of duty, which work excellently, or should we return to the old wooden ones of yore, in order to ensure we do not "clone" a more recent development?

I personally think that making the regenerative healthbar for the new BF:BC2 is a great improvement over the "injector" of the first part of the franchise. Most likely this has been at least inspired by MW2 but that shouldn't make it a bad design choise or something to look down on. BF:BC2 differs a lot from MW2 although they share some aspects, but what I'm saying is that if you borrow something, borrow it from the best... That's only common sense
