Any more opinions?

O just saw this on the Battlefield website just feel like I should throw it out there, DICE is releasing VIP map pack 7 soon on BFBC2, which comes with the Harvest Day and Oasis maps from BFBC1 and 2 new maps for free. Since I love Harvest Day just had to throw that out there.

Are you playing on PC, PS3 or 360?

Bad company 2 for multiplayer definately. Its alot more intelligent than black ops. Black ops is only filled with 10 year olds, and what you do when you encoutner an enemy is: Prone --> spray in target direction. If not you will most likely get killed on every corner.

Its a fucking meat grinder.

And you will always be a lone wolf, all people care about is KDR, not winning or losing.

If you enjoy shooting Zombies whilst playing as JFK, Castro, Nixon, McNamara, an Arrogant American, a drunk Russian, an honourable banzaiing Japanese-man or a psychopathic Nazi, then Black Ops. If you like blowing shit up Bad Company.

Get Black Ops. BFBC2 steals so many set pieces from COD4 and MW2 there is no point getting it if you have already beaten COD 4 or MW2. Black Ops is a rather fun game with the most pointed story for a COD game yet. Not as good a story as COD4, but very good. Defiantly worth the 60$ and for sure better than BFBC2.

I don't know what rock you have been living under, remind me when COD 4 came out because i swear BF2 came out before that and cod 4's multilayer was pretty much a stolen rehash of bf2 + DOD. If you buy either game for single player you are crazy because neither has the staying power of their mp brethren. if you would rather play Mp then stick to bfbc2 the vast majority of the bugs have been defused and it doesn't have a for sure onslaught of pointless DLC that will come out 3 months down the road for an outrageous cost. On another note you would like to use a rehashed version of COD4, WAW or MW2 engine or an actual engine that will test your system to it's limits i.e the frostbite 1.5 engine. it's your choice ... last thing do you prefer (cluster ASDF) matches or strategical matches)

Bad company 2 came out about 2 years after Cod 4... MW2 and BFBC2 came out almost together with MW2 coming first. Also, some of us enjoy story and multiplayer means very little to us. Just subjective opinion.

I LOVED the first bad company game (destructible environment FTW!), but I'm not sure if I should get black ops.

Which should I get?

(if Black ops has MW2's 3rd person, then I'll get that, no questions asked.)

EDIT: I have decided to get both, but Now I want to know which to get first.

I hope you're getting BC2 on PC at least. If not, then what the hell?!

BC2 has tanks. Easy to drive, fun, balanced TANKS.

/Thread.

BC2 is just more epic than Blops could ever hope to be.

BC2, it's cheaper, the plot is better, the online is better IMO, I just hate claustrophobic level design in realistic shooters, the maps are big, the classes are interesting, and really overall it's a better value.

I would get Black Ops first. It's still relatively new, and no one has found that many exploits yet. With Bad Company 2 though, Rush as defender is basically unbeatable, as people just charge the crates with C4.

Bad Company 2 is probably a slightly better game, but I'd get Black Ops simply because Bad Company 2 is kind of dead at this point. I tried to play over the weekend and couldn't find a game with more than 4 other people. Not good for a huge team-based game.

 

[Worgen]

Id go with bad company 2 but I like a game that is more tactical and being able to shoot people with tanks is nice, instead of always being killed by the fucken auto aiming chopper, every single TIME GAHHHHHHHHHHHHRAGE....


so yeah, bad company 2

I was playing on xbox 360. Come to think of it, the relative emptiness may have been due to the release of Black Ops. Actually, that was almost certainly why.

probably a combination of that and the 360 match making sucking, having a server browser is really handy especially if it lets you queue up for a server

I hate to bring it to your attention but bf2 stands for battlefield 2 mate and it was released in 2005. oh how sad it is to not play multiple platforms or follow other releases on other platforms...
