Bad Company 2's multiplayer is making MW2 look silly, IMO.

I am not surprised people are starting to hate MW 2, it has become too popular, all popular games receive this backlash, which does annoy me a little actually

MW 2 is a very different game, it is very very fast paced, whereas there is more strategy to Battlefield, and I actually found it a bit empty in the game I played in the beta. A vehicle based online mode is obviously going to make a very different experience to one without vehicles, but having vehicles does not make it better. The WaW games with tanks sucked

yeah keep telling yourself mw2 is a great game. And also keep telling yourself bfbc2 sucks even though you have probably never touched it.  People arent saying mw2 sucks because its so popular, they are saying it because the game is bad.

 

now as for bc2.... it totally destroys mw2.

 

lol alright then....

 

If that's the case, out of all games, why do people keep placing MW2 as a direct competitor against BC2? So they both have a modern setting. Guess what? Modern war themes are pretty burnt out now. There's tons of them all over the shooter genre. This really should be BC2 vs. Warhawk. Even UT3 is a better comparison. Last time I checked, Warhawk had massive maps with a variety of vehicles. I guess we should start comparing Gears of War to Halo since they both have a futuristic setting that involves fighting aliens?

 

The whole "BC2 destroyers MW2" thing is becoming so common now, and it's only out of bitterness. People are so angry that the game is doing so well. They get whiny about campers and proceed to impale their TV's with the controller. Some favor BC2 because they want MW2 and IW to be taken down. Sure they're pricks when it comes to being devs, but they also make great games. This is VGchartz though - the attitudes of developers really get to some of the people here and influence their decision on whether to support/buy games.

 

Arena-style UT-like Twitch/reflex-based shooter   vs.   slow-paced large/open-map vehicle/infantry combat.

 

Nice comparison. Right? Makes sense to me!

I've played both series since the beginning when they started out on PC before they got dumbed down for consoles. They both provided completely different experiences and that hasn't changed. Putting BF up against CoD:UO is the only reasonable comparison seeing as it was the only one that had large maps and fast transport vehicles such as jeeps for getting around. Tanks didn't feel like a shit/lazy addition like they were in CoD:WaW.

 

Really though, quit being bitter children and do a proper comparison. You're a fool to think BC2 will topple MW2. As much as I love both games, you're silly ( >_> ) if you don't know by now which game the casuals will eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner...
