Battlefield: Bad Company 2

I have done the greatest thing ever...and Ryu was with me and witnessed the awesomeness....I call it...Jihad Quad... 5 c-4 packs and ram for a tank and bail at the last second and detonate it. I got a Multi kill with this score
Vehicle Dmg +30
Destroy Vehicle +100
Kill +50 X3
Engineer outside reparing +50

Try it sometime its actaully really fun...except when u get sniped,shot, or a tank cannon or mounted MG to the face >.>

Not exactly out of bounds. Hopped in the chopper. All seats are full. I take off but it's the first time I actually fly a helicopter. Crashed headfirst into the ground. I bailed and everyone else got 'suicided'. Even now I still can't fly for shit.

Shawn and I where laughing like crazy.

Hey Shawn. How about we stick a few C4s on the UAV next time :)

Hell yeah man!....but Thats if i dont blow 500$ bucks at sakura con lol I'll buy it when I get back most likely >.> then UAV jihad some people lol Remember we dominated Sniping on that snow rush lvl lol they got raped...but we still lost

good luck on that. I can't keep the money in my pocket when I'm at conventions.

Busy, must rank up.. damn internet! *crashes heli*

Is this game good? (I am thinking of buying) well better than CODMW2?

Just like he said. I haven't played MW2 but played MW1. If those games are identical then all i can say is, in Bad Company you have to think *at least a little* before you do something, while in MW you just *Up and go kill everything mindlessly*. Personally i prefer Bad Company due to more complex gameplay. Things like: destroying enemy helicopter by sniping its pilot, Destroying a house and killing everyone inside, planting AT mines everywhere and feel tank whores raging when i suddenly get exp, those things arouse me more than just killing normal infantry with classic ways.

Not as fun though as just letting Destruction 2.0 do the killing.

I hate mines even the best tankers miss them when they're placed in ditches, luckly you can blow them up :D
Personally I like killing a tank solo with the RPG gives you the satisfaction that you beat two idiots in a tin can with a tube.

Here is a nice combo:

Primary:
F2000 Assault
40MM Shotgun
4x ACOG Scope

Secondary:
MP-443 GRACH

Oh and I just noticed, how many MW2 diss joke are there in the game?

Javelin Glitch:


Hearbeat Sensors and Pussies:


Snowmobiles and Sissies:

One of the worst multiplayer FPSs I've played to date.

Here is my rant:

Maps

There are about 10 maps. They aren't too bad and it's a nice refreshing change from close quarters combat from MW2. The problem is, the game usually treats you to about 5 of them. Probability means jack. Not only that, the maps' tactical layout usually don't differ much from one another.

Shooting & Damage

I don't know where it first originated from, but most of you who have played MW2 know about the hits indicator that appears whenever you hit a target. In this game, it only works about half the time, if that. And that's when it feels generous (Mostly happened with snipes). If it's not feeling up to being the game it was designed to be, you might be unloading a whole clip of LMG on a stationary target without the game registering that you're even hitting the target. This game eats your bullets for fucking breakfast, lunch and dinner. So bring a lot of ammo.

Additionally, the game either isn't letting the enemy damage you too or the game just hates to notify you that you're getting damaged, because I could have someone shooting at me for quite a while, and the damage indicator doesn't tell me jack shit 'til I'm near death. Have fun being buttfucked without ever knowing you've been penetrated.

Sniping

I was actually looking forward to sniping, as I like sniping in MW2 and a friend (Xel) said sniping is quite overpowered in this game. When I first jumped in as a sniper, and brought up the scope, there was no sway which gave me an even bigger incentive to agree with Xel's comment. Until I came across my first enemy. I soon realized the only 1 shot 1 kill I was going to get was with a headshot. That's fair, but the sniper rifle was a painfully slow as fuck reloading bolt action rifle. We've got a sniper rifle that can blow apart tree trunks (I must say the game does have a cool destructive environment), but I cannot get 1 hit 1 kills unless headshotting a person, with an extremely slow reload rate. I realize skill is the first and foremost factor in sniping in any game, but the rate of the reload was ridiculous. If I was having a bout with two snipers, I would be fucked regardless of my skill. "Why not run, or go prone?" you ask? Well, running might work if there aren't other snipers around, but going prone? You can't go prone in this game, which brings me to the next part.

No Prone

What. The. Fuck.

The game devs excuse was that they wanted to reduce campers which is bullshit since the best killstreak I've gotten were from camping. Complete bullshittery.

Nube Tube

Don't even bother. The shit coming out at the end of the barrel isn't a grenade, it's a giant piece of shit that's aged a year since there is absolutely no splash damage. Probably a last minute addition that people could have done without. Should have used the time to implement a fucking prone system.

Vehicles

The thing for sure I thought was going to be good in this game. Wrong. If playing Rush (the preferred mode in this game for most people), usually the Attackers are the only ones with vehicles. Meaning, if you're on the defending side, you're fucked as the vehicles can tank impossible amounts of anti air shit you throw at it. So watch your K/D ratio go down to hell as you get mowed down over, and over again as the enemy spawn camps you in the air.

Well that's the end of my rant. Hopefully, I have saved a few handful who have bothered to read this rant in buying this horrible game.

Hmmm what can i say...

Maps

It's sad but i agree with you here *about the point that not every day you get to hang out on every map*

Shooting & Damage

Have you ever wondered why weapons stats have *Accuracy* ? Well guess what, if you shoot the enemy from a close enough distance, you will get the results you want.
And besides, you might wanna try using burst, not holding the button until the gun is empty.You don't notice when you get shot? Simple answer : Lag. because that kind of thing never happened to me on PS3.

Sniping
I've seen what's the meaning of *sniping* in MW1 a.k.a. i'd be better off with a machine gun, it's the same after all.You just don't need to frustrate yourself with breathing.

In here on the other hand, sniping is a unique stuff. Something that's made like it should be made. Try to raise that rifle while it weights somewhere between 1-10kg and change the magazine in like 3 sec, i would like to see you try that. And besides if you choose *Hardcore* mode you don't really need to aim for the head anymore.

No Prone
That indeed sux....maybe, i dunno, i always run around *as a medic engineer and assault* i don't have time to prone lol.

Nube Tube
I'm not sure what that means but by your explanation i can guess that it's the secondary fire on Assaulters weapons. Well they are hard to control *at least for me it takes alot of time to properly target it where i want it to hit* but the damage is decent enough.

Vehicles
Ever heard of an *Engineer* class? Well guess what they can use these things called...Rocket Launchers. And not just that, i myself prefer Anti-tank Mines, they seem to be more effective *2 mines destroy hardest tank with the driver having tank armor up skill in no time*. If you are so afraid to defend an M-Com against vehicles, then Engineer is a class for you.

That's about all i wanted to say.. Oh and you might wanna see this.


By the way, just finished leveling up every class. Now i can finally enjoy changing classes when my heart desires while not worrying about missing on some exp.

Yes, burst firing is not new to me, but notice that I mentioned that it was an LMG meaning longer sustained fire means better accuracy (Wierd ass game mechanic in BF games). Also, it was at quite a close range. Also, note that I mentioned a stationary target. Leading a target had nothing to do with it.



Never played MW1, so I wouldn't know, but I guess they fixed the issue properly in MW2 because the balance is quite good.



I think it funny that all BF players like to bring up realism yet when you bring up unrealistic factors in the game, they usually wave it off. But I digress, what I'm really arguing is not about realism, I'm arguing gameplay and balancing.



I do realize that bolt action sniper rifles should be slow on reloads, and that it's more realistic. But what I'm arguing is gameplay mechanics. I'm arguing that they did a horrible job at balancing the classes. Just my opinion I guess.




It's not about control, it's about the splash damage. If the grenade in this game has a good splash damage, I expect a grenade launcher's grenade to do at least be close to the splash damage induced by the normal grenade.




Yes, I do realize there is an engineer class, which is only good for vehicles. I don't think I want to bother with a class that only specializes in vehicles therefore I don't get the missile launcher that takes 100 million points to unlock that actually homes in on its targets.

I noticed that both of you skirted around the main problem I mentioned which are air targets. Quite hard to take down with any other launchers besides the homing ones and impossible to do with anti-tank mines.
