Despite the two games similarity as modern day shooters but Battlefields focus on bigger maps, vehicles and destructible terrain makes it so both games compliment each other quite well.

Why choose when you can have both?


I agree. hopefully I'll have enough money for BF2 when it comes out!!!

Battlefield wont come close to MW2 online. MW2 will destroy it in both sales and quality

Please explain.

no killstreak(biggest fail right there), takes more bullets to kill an enemy, harder sniping, less types of online games, no spec ops (there for lass value).

 

i dont need to explain sales, do i?

Yeah, it's a big fail not to include tactical nukes if you get 25 kills in row, you deserve to win the match...

I can't compare with MW2 as I never played it, but the majority of people complain that it takes too FEW bullets to die.you mean the noobs?

Harder sniping? Really? TBH, I thought the sniping experience was very easy but fair.its harder than MW2's... Pull of gravity requires additional skill, but the scope was very steady, and the fluid animation and hitboxes prevent stuttering heads and bodies.

I think 4 game modes are enough for a multiplayer game, no, not by a long shot , and while there are no spec ops, I think playing as squad against other squads of real people is more fun.thats the matter of opinnion

 

Anyway, it's also important to mention the pros, as I believe that the "sacrifices" Bad Company 2 made are vastly over compensated by the value added by its unique features:

 

Big and varied map. Mixture of urban and open areas. Prevents players from simply throwing a grenade in the beginning of the round and getting a kill. Allows creativity, stealth, and emphasizes flank maneuvering with the space.agree...

Vehicles. Adds an entirely new gameplay to a FPS, and again, makes Bad Company 2 more diverse. You can be a poor infantry man, but be a great chopper pilot. Adds another demension of strategy and cooperation. Getting beat by the enemy? Request a tank pilot to assist the infantry. Tanks coming? You have to coordinate to plant mines, ambush with C4s, use Rockets, mortars, etc.AC-130, helicopter, Pave Low, Harrier >>>> all vehicles in B:BC2

DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENTS. If the big and varied environments didn't add enough emphasis on positioning, destructible environment finishes it. Every game can be unique, as you can create your own paths, destroy entire buildings, etc. No longer can you remain stationary behind cover, but constantly be aware of who the enemy is, and what they have (If there's a sniper you shouldn't have to worry about a Grenade or a RPG... but maybe a mortar).

 

No, you deserve to win a match if your entire team wins. Being a bad ass on your own doesn't help, if you're not defending crates or capturing flags.

Yes, that was exactly my point. The newbs complain in Bad Company 2 that it takes too few bullets to die. I think it's perfect. A good 2 seconds of full burst at the torso and they're dead. Not too little as Kylie Dog said, not too many as noobs are still complaining.

I don't think being harder is a negative, as long as it is fair.

Alright, let's agree that however many Modern War 2 has more than 4 modes. I think that's enough, but MW2 beats it in this respect.

Errr, do you actually get in these and pilot them until your vehicle is taken down, or are you talking about some temporary kill streak thing? Although I never played MW2, I do know the basic outlook of the game... and I do not think that the vehicles that are supposedly in MW2 compare to those in BC2.

 

  No, you do not. It is something that appears, and just gives you a shitload of free kills.

I think it could be possible for BF to eventually overtake MW2. Me personally and most of my friernds are tired of playing a unpolished game. After see both the game footage and that list Akvod posted showing what has been fixed ..i think this game can gain alot of ground where MW2 is losing it.

Dear EA,

Good luck overthrowing Modern Warfare 2 with Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Having the multiplayer beta on the PS3 rather than the console with the biggest FPS fanbase in the World was a brilliant first move towards that goal. Lets hope you finally have gotten your footing this generation before someone comes in and does some house cleaning to do it for you.

Yours Sincerely,

Legend11

EA talks too much. This game would be EXTREMELY lucky to post half the first week sales of MW2 during its lifetime. Not to say it won't be a good game..but it doesn't have a chance in hell at this.

I know they will not overthrow them in terms of sheer sales. It just will not happen. But Dice has already proved to me that their games are better than any CoD game. They did that with Battlefield 1.

I am looking forward to Battlefield 2. Will probably pick it up when it hits the bargain bin.



DOLBYdigital on 26 January 2010

I agree with the simple answer.
BF:BC2 quality will be better but there are far too many fools for the sales to be better.
Most console gamers like the same old generic and simplified shooter experience.
Still very impressed with what I saw in the PS3 beta and will be starting the PC beta in 2 days!!
Its basically BF3 but without jets and boats and possibly commanders (although PC version is supposed to have 'expanded squad play' whatever that is?)

Sad about the no mod support but adjustable config files for servers are better than nothing.
Also wish the multiplayer was up to 64 players but 32 is acceptable although I hope the rumor that
they will allow server admins to run games with 40 is true. In BF, the more the merrier and crazier the games get ;)

 

 

@ Wagram

If you haven't played/bought BF2 yet then I highly suggest it since you can get the complete version with all expansion packs for pretty cheap. BF2 is still the best large scale, squad based FPS on any platform next to BF1942. If you meant Bad Company 2 then nevermind  ;)   Look forward to Battlefield 3, the true sucessor to BF2 in 2011.
