I understand that the 360 severs had issues (which are now resolved), but the PS3 had none as far as I'm concerned. So I don't think you can blame EA.

Leveling is necessary, as it encourages players to be more than simple death match players. You get more points by throwing medikits, ammo boxes, repairing, C4ing, motion sensoring, than camping and sniping.

You can do that with a basic point system, a la TF2. I swear I don't even know where all the points I get come from. Experience gaining is a horrible idea outside of RPGs and I damn the person whose head lit up with the idea.

LMAO, get woth the times lad, the current level/ranking in multiplayer games such as BBC2 is fantastic, it keeps you playing for months at a time, best you get used to it as that system is here to stay!

Go play this and don't put shitty mechanics in FPSes.

Leveling system makes FPS fun, just shooting people is boring as piss. You want simple shooting games go back to Dunk Hunt.

 

There is actually a hole point in playing to unlock new shit and it makes everyone different, instead of 24 clones running around all with the same health and guns we can vary it.

No I'm fairly sure Vietnam was better than BF2, though 1942 was better than either of those.

Also out of all the good MMOs to counter WoW you picked some of the worst you could pick? Between horrendous grinding, technical problems, bad concepts, and horrible balancing all of the ones you linked were absolutely horrible representatives of the MMO genre. Then again I guess I should be glad you didn't mention EQ or Lineage.

Pro tip, if you are gonna name MMOs that don't suck go with EVE or Planetside, at least they did something that WoW didn't trump.

I think that you need to realise that, while you don't like levelling up and unlocking rewards in FPS games, the general consensus is that is a good system. If more people like it than don't, it's likely going to stay. You may think its broken, but you are in the minority, so there is no point trying to convince other people.

FYI: Battlefield 2 is a classic.

Yes and following your logic all games should be MMOs or Farmville and just outright fuck the other genres. Far more people like those than any other genre don't they? You are in the minority as well so stop trying to convince people.

FYI: Battlefield 1942 is a far better game nonetheless.

MMOs are the most popular genre? Since when. Me thinks you are wrong.

The point of my post was this (which you seemed to miss): People like the levelling system in FPS games. MMOs and RPGs don't have exclusive ownership of levelling systems. If it was a problem where developers were putting in levelling systems and the players didn't want them, you'd have a point. But, people clearly want these systems, so stop pretending that you're the all powerful, all knowing, gaming god, while everyone else are idiots who play games they don't enjoy. People enjoy the levelling systems, that is why they are there. If you're not happy with them, don't play any game other than TF2.



Call of Duty More Popular Than Halo

They are the most popular genre since more people play MMOs than any other genre, probably more than many other genres combined.

Also I'd wager anything that TF2 has outsold anything that has levelling, meaning that is the more popular system and hence even by your logic you are wrong.

 

@Garnett

You have obviously not played squad games enough if you think 24 people run around with the same guns...

I understand that the 360 severs had issues (which are now resolved), but the PS3 had none as far as I'm concerned. So I don't think you can blame EA.

I'm not saying it was buggy or anything. I just can't get into the game where it is actually fun for me to play. Must be EA games because i can't get into Dead Space either.

Hmmm, that's strange =/ DICE tweeted that the servers are back up, but maybe they still aren't?

The controls just feel very clunky. And most of the people online camp and don't use teamwork.

Have you used the official thread to find fellow VGCharters to play the game with? Have you adjusted the controls? You can set them to Bad Company 2 controls.
