BC2 vs MW2

I think in terms of pure numbers that people prefer mw2 to bc2. I like how movement through the maps in bc2 is not just one of 2-3 paths determined by the developers. I can flank from weird angles and not have to worry about some guy with scavenger or oma just lobbing 203s around the corner where enemies always come from.

I like BC2 more than MW2, because BC2 feels like a game, whereas MW2 feels more like work.

I've played the shit out of both, I enjoy them both.

Play what you have fun playing, let the haters do their thing.

Usually you don't have to wait for an agonizing 15 seconds to spawn, you spawn quicker than in BC2.

Actually not a bad thing in BC2. What's the use of shooting someone at an m-com or flag so you can take it, if they are standing in front of you again in less than 15 seconds? It would almost become impossible to achieve any of the objectives like you find in a Battlefield game, if you eliminate the defence of an objective, you want that defence to stay eliminated for at least a little while. MW2 is basically geared towards a more deathmatch kind of gameplay, more run-and-gun, in which fast respawning is normal. That wouldn't work in Battlefield, as killing people comes second to achieving the objectives and it being a team-play kind of game.

Dual guns and throwing knives feel like a gimmick to me. Same goes to heartbeat sensors and stuff like that. BC2 has a UAV for this and Recon sensor balls, and you are required to work as a team to be able to use these to their full potential, instead of using some magic-heartbeat-device that tells you where everybody is so you can run in like Rambo.

And you forgot to mention the ridiculous killstreaks in MW2, that allow one person to whipe out everybody without doing anything, which basically ruins the game. If you want a chopper flying over in BC2 to shoot people, someone has to actually fly it, instead of some bot chopper that goes around shooting shit automatically.

I think many of the reasons you like MW2 are many of the reasons people don't like MW2.

• There is a metric fuck-tonne of unlocks and shit in MW2, way more than BC2. The challenges in MW2 are more interesting too!

I feel that BC2 has a reasonable amount of unlocks, and still offers a challenge in ways of medals for extra XP.

• Dual wield handguns holy shat

BC2 pistols are overpowered as is. And not everyone in BC2 is John Woo.

• Usually you don't have to wait for an agonizing 15 seconds to spawn, you spawn quicker than in BC2.

The spawn timer is part of Battlefield. It's something that's been there since 1942 and I personally like it because it allows you to carefully plan where you're going to spawn and with which kit to best help your squad/team.

• Throwing knives what the shit.

What?

I'd comment on the kill cam, but I personally like the kill cam as it currently is in BC2 because it does give the killer a bit of cover and more of an indication of where they are and not an exact location. But yeah, prone would be pretty nice, would be really awesome if it required a skill unlock for wookies too.

I played MW2 for a while on multi-player, the only thing I didn't like about it was that nobody worked together as a team. This is why I got Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

I don't hate MW2, it's just not for me.

The plot sucks less ass. Seriously, what the shit is the plot of BC2? BALLS is what it is.

Pretty sure the BC2 plot is a satire of the MW/MW2 plot...

OPs got his trollface on.

The difference is easy

MW2 - Huge number of trolls, racists, tweens who all use some form of the word "fag" in every comment. A few cool people to roll with

BFBC2 - Huge number of cool people to roll with. A few trolls, racists, and tweens who use some form of the word "fag" in every comment

I loved COD for a bit. But once I bought battlefield I couldnt go back.

I think the main difference is speed more than anything. COD is a far far faster game, both in terms of how quick you/your target goes down under fire and also in general movelment/look speed. This makes a huge difference imho.

The one thing I do prefer in COD is the feel of the guns. It feels more like you are firing something with power than the frankly lame attempts in BC2. However BC2 does win out in general, fix the feel of the guns and it would be the best shooter I have played (On a console at least!)

I'm sure if you took my blood pressure while playing MW2, it would be a lot higher than when I'm playing BC2. The reason why I hate MW2 is the online play, it's an all out rape fest. It's filled with too many exploits, too many prepubescent kids who have way too much time on their hands, whose idea of fun is spawn camping so they can get ridiculous kill streaks. BC2 levels the playing field, it does have it's own exploits but there are fewer of them.

From talking to those I know, most people play MW2 because they aren't familiar with the BadCo games. More than a handful of my co-workers have moved to BadCo and never went back to MW2. It's all personal preference, but the destruction and big maps is awesome.

I'm torn on the killcam thing. On one hand it's great in MW2 to see how someone killed you so you can learn from what happened but also so you can see if it was lag. On the other hand, it's nice in BC2 to see where someone is headed after they kill you so you can tell your team.

I was hooked on BC2 for the longest time but I got frustrated that instead of adding new maps they just added different modes to existing maps. So now I've gone back to MW2 because I never had a chance to play the new maps. If MW2 added destructible environments it would be awesome. It would be so nice to be able to blow the shit out of some camper up in a window.

I also like the environments in MW2 a lot better because they feel more realistic. BC2 has a bunch of cookie cutter buildings and it kind of sucks that they're all the same.

I play both of these games all the time. Which one I play depends on what kind of mood I am in. If I want to run and gun then it is MW2 all the way. If I feel like being a team player and actually having some strategy to my game play then I go with BC2.

Some of my friends refuse to pick up BC2 because they say there is too much to do. They want to just shoot stuff. They don't want to have to worry about vehicles, spotting, dropping ammo or health packs, etc. Sometimes I get into that mode too and go play some MW2 and just shoot stuff.

It's all a matter of preference. I wouldn't say one is better than the other. They are both FPS, sure, but they are still very different.

I like BC2 in every way except 2. MW2 has way more unlocks, and my brother won't play BC2 with me :D

Every once in a while, I just feel the urge to play something twitchier, faster than BC2, and I pick up MW2 again.

In my experience via voice chat:

MW2: kids and retards;

BC2: men

...in general.
