No offense, but that comment was a pretty big fail. We like proper spelling and grammar 'round these parts, plus quoting Yahtzee rather than giving a unique opinion is just annoying. (I criticize because I care)reecedempsey said:

Piss poor is a harsh statement, it's annoying your aiming fucks up when you get shot but it's not piss poor. The sniper rifle is far better than in MW2 and the recoil on the guns means you can almost always get a headshot.imahobbit4062 said:
What did you expect from the scenery? It may disappear into nothing but think of how much bigger the maps are compared to MW2 and MW2 doesn't have this feature.
It would be a pretty big ask to make scenery brake off in a realistic way then stay there for the duration of the match.
The only thing I hate about BC2 is due to the sheer scale it's perfect for snipers, so no matter were you are your likely to be shot at by a sniper.
I only play conquest due to very few people having headsets on PS3, making more team based games impossible.
I think it's far superior to MW2, knfers can't lunge at you, shotguns are usless, no kill streaks, very few "perks" (you can either have more health or more powerful ammo), very few glitches (that I have encountered) and to me far more balanced.
Apparently the perks don't actually do that much either. I heard somewhere that magnum ammo only increases the damage to 125% of what it is normally, which is puny.omega 616 said:
I love this game. I'd say it's way better than MW2. I got to the top level in that game then stopped, because I found that every single time I played I'd come off via a ragequit, even thought I did very well.
MW2 is more arcadey, and surprisingly you die more easily.
BC2 tends to be more serious business. It's also more difficult to do well when you go out on your own (The top kill streak reward is 8, for example).
There are vehicles which work well. It's balanced more thoroughly than MW2. The maps are bigger, and the graphics better.
However if you've just come from MW2 you'll be in for a shock. The game feels slow and clunky by comparison, and there's bullet drop, of course. I got used to it pretty fast, though.
I'd say buy it. I only have it on PC, however. The adjustable sensitivity on here lets me bypass all the slow movements inherent with gamepads, so you might have a different experience if you get it on console.
I think you need to read up on your definition of hypocrite. If he had tried to quote Yahtzee to say that it's bad to quote Yahtzee then he'd be a hypocrite. The kind of quoting he's doing here it just to make sure you read his post.reecedempsey said:

I borrowed and beat (1000/1000 gs too) MW2 from a friend, and I do like it, but I am very intrigued by the "teamwork is important" aspect that I hear from EVERYONE about BF2, my question is what makes teamwork more important in BF2 than in MW2, because everyone says it is, but nobody ever gives a reasonHazy said:

Only another class can counter-balance your weakness.
For example:
Medics can help everyone up, but they're fucked if they run out of ammo. Assaults can supply that ammo.
Engineers can maintain vehicles, and Recons can snipe from long distances, plant charges, call in mortar strikes, etc.
Likewise, you can pile up 4 assaults into a Bradley tank, but if not one of them is an Engineer, you're going to be eating pavement when you go up against the other tank who thought ahead and stocked themselves with Engys who are able to jump out and repair the vehicle when it takes too many hits.
1. Yes. Just right click on a word with a red line underneath and choose the correct spelling.reecedempsey said:
2. Thank you.
3. I didn't know that. I suppose you learn something new every day. If your having trouble, just ask a fellow Escapist.
Balance is SO important to me, I'm so sick of all the little tricks in MW2, and the akimbo shotguns just PISS ME OFF, if only I could borrow it from a friend first for a test run, I could rent it as a trial, but then you know....if I buy it I just wasted like $10.Foggy_Fishburne said:Alot of opinions against and for BC2. Weird. I thought everyone would agree on BC2 kicking some serious fucking ass :S Oh well, maybe it's not for everyone.
I for one am having a fucking blast! The multiplayer is ton of fun. Balanced weapons, vehicles, everything! Big maps, some with dust, awesome way to prevent snipers from hitting you from anywhere. Gameplay smooth and slow (not a bad thing) you'll have to play very defensive and smart, cooperate with your teamworks. If you want to run'n'gun fuck off back to that piece of shit that is MW2. Destructible enviroments works crazy well, ESPECIALLY against campers oho. You like sniping from that roof-top don't you, you little recon fucker! Well guess what BAM, I just took away the whole building.
Modes are excellent, I stay away from Squad Deathmatch and Conquest. Rush and Squad Rush appeal to me the most as the lines are constantly shifting and new areas of the maps are being opened and available for you to wreck havoc upon. It also centers the fighting between the lines so you don't have to run 5000 kilometers to find an asshole to shoot.
No weapon can claim to be overpowered, hell no. And that's what I absolutely love about the fucking game!!! Finally some balance, finally you actually need skill and use teamwork to win! Some weapons suit better for some weapon but they all do the same thing (yeah you guessed it, kill). Grenades and noobtubes are fucking hard to kill with and the blast radius is pretty small (yet again, a good thing). This means that fuckers can't kill you by just pointing in your general direction but you actually have to coordinate and aim your explosives right. Awe. Some.
Overall the game is fucking amazing. I'm shocked, I've been a CoD fan since Infinity Ward was still doing Medal of Honor but after MW2....... I really just want to forget about that game. I'm so proud of DICE. Adapting the game fantastically to PC with dedicated servers and Punkbuster!!!! You know what that means? I haven't met a single cheater all the time I've been playing
Basically, if you like action fps, teamwork, vehicles, balanced gameplay, no cheaters and you actually have to be good with a weapon and not just use an overpowered bullshit dual shotties with a broken perk setup, then this is the game for you. There's really no Zeus damn reason you shouldn't buy it
PS. Man! This became a rather long post! Almost a damn review
We don't need to talk about the singleplayer, that was a disgrace both as sequel to Bc1 and as a MW2 ripoff.
The Battlefield Multiplayer on the other hand is a matter of opinion I guess. The issue I have, is battlefield games only get fun, when you have a couple of nice and capable people to play with. But with those people, any game from quake to cs/mw is fun aand you will kick ass. Thing is, joining a random game on the internet, you rarely have those people, however if you don't have them, the Bf-multiplayer experience goes down the drain. And where one or two decent players can make a difference even in a 32-64 player modern warfare game, in battlefield you'll get flattened by a tank / 5 snipers / a tube with unlimited ammo the second you seperate from your team.
As a group, you can have fun in any game, but if your going solo, its hard to have fun in a battlefield game.

BFBC2 is an instant buy. Balance is in, destructible environments matter, vehicles are fun, squad play is encouraged, there's quite a lot of variety in individual class strategies... hell, if not for IMA SNIPUH retards on Isla Inocentes I'd call this game perfect.
And the PC version is vastly superior to the god awful wreck MW2 was. All in all, best gameplay value for my money I got in years, and I don't even like FPS as a genre.

1. If you go one-on-one with a vehicle you will almost certainly lose. Unless you're really good.
2. Due to the way the game is set up (Defibrillators, ammo boxes, motion sensors, rocket launchers; each class has it's specific use.), people tend to run around in small groups.
3. Again, unless you're really good (Or me =P) you'll almost certainly get killed by the larger group.
4. Partly 2, sticking with your teammates gets you healed, resupplied, revived, and backed up against vehicles.
5. There's cross-class support. The engineer, for example, has a rocket launcher. Anyone can carry a special pistol that puts a homing dart on a vehicle. The engineer's rockets now track the vehicle.
6. Each class makes up for the weaknesses of the others.
7. You can combine vehicle perks when inside vehicles. You could have two guys in a tank, one with armour+, one with reload+, and both those effects would be applied.
There's just this general idea that working together will help you win. It's also more fun that way. On top of that you'll get more enemies working together because that's the premise of the game, so if you go lone wolf, you're toast.
