this is probably just my retarded look on things, but i think that the beta multiplayer looks kind of like counter strike in a small way. like theres different classes, and the way the characters move is kind of similar. im not saying they ripped CS off at all, just making a simple observation

that would be the last game i think it looks like

I'm gonna take a wild leap here and say, based on its legacy, every modern multiplayer military FPS experience since Counter Strike has taken a little something from it, inspiration wise.

I thought you were going to say Modern Warfare for a second. I would have agreed. It's got a bit of MW formula in it and I think it's awesome. Take what worked well in another game and make it better by adding more things exploding.

I see no relation at all to Counter-Strike in Bad Company 2.

" that would be the last game i think it looks like "

Yeah...no..

Yeah i mean, CS doesn't have classes, respawning, or aiming down the sights. Not to mention vehicles. So it sounds exactly like counter-strike to me.

Counterstrike was nearly as spread out so... no, you're wrong

Ummm....no; no I do not believe that is correct sir.

Counter Strike doesn't even have classes...

It did have the little save spot so you weren't rushing to get all your weapons when the round started, maybe that's what he meant...but it's not really like classes..

Is there a no vehicles mode in Battlefield at all? That quick look showed me everything I hate about that game. 
 
Spawn 
Look around 
Get owned by a tank 
Spawn 
Looks around 
Get owned by a helicopter 
 
Wash. Rinse. Repeat. Eject. 
 
It would be seriously awesome if not for the vehicles.

Hmmm.....Well you shoot guns in both.... 
 
Yeah I see where you coming from.

" @Dr_Feelgood38: what do you think its similar to in MW? "

For one it dosnt have gltichey hitboxes and a ak47 cant kill someone from cross the map with one bullet . I played way to much CS in the past .

This is the most retarded thread I have read in a long time.

This has to be a joke. Right?

The only way I can see CS in BF is because I see CS in MW. And you know... transitive property.

I think it looks like Tetris.

I don't think they should have weapons in a game that is a spiritual successor to Tetris.  No wonder I keep getting killed when I spawn.  This game is broken.

CS doesn't have classes.

MW2 riot shields?
 
Counter-Strike already done it.

Ive been playing cs for about a decade, and played about 30hrs of this Beta....
 
I found some similarities in the two, but none that I would say are exclusive to only these two games.  The second part of the map which is the urban area does have a few spots that could be straight out of dust2 in the way that you can play them, but I think that's more the CS player in me coming out in a different game.  Some areas of the map do kind of have that grainy middle eastern vibe that is prevalent in cs, but I think its more of a coincidence than by design.
 
Actually now that I think about it, I hope when this game ships I see a lot of counter-strike influence, maybe then I can finally stop playing that fucking game.

To me, BF is more like TF-meets-CS (with other additional elements such as vehicles and the wide open spaces to make them viable). I used to be a hardcore TFC player and began hating CS when it practically stole the TF community. I wanted to get into CS but I felt like I was betraying TFC (I was a weird kid). Once I found Battlefield at BF2, I was forever converted.
 
MW series feels more like a super refined CS-meets-Quake.

it's not like counter strike in any way other than that you shoot dudes with modern guns.

Counter Strike is just about as far as you can get from Bad Company 2. I know everybody else has already made it clear, but: 
 

• Counter Strike has no respawning
• Counter Strike has no classes
  
• Bad Company 2 doesn't have you buying stuff at the beginning of rounds
• The movement in Bad Company 2 is fluid, whereas it is stiff and made to not be distracting in Counter Strike
• There are no vehicles in Counter Strike
• The maps are much smaller in Counter Strike than in Bad Company
• There is no regenerating health in Counter Strike
• etc.
  

The HUD and bright desert makes it feel a lot like GRAW imo.
