Guess what. I love Battlefield. It's the kind of franchise, which has devoted fans. I guess all you're capable off gobbling down one game after the other and thus can't understand my devotion. Once you've played 1000+ hours of any franchise - be it Street Fighter, Starcraft, WoW, CoD or whatever - you will understand.
Anyways - get the fuck off your 'whatever - man...' horse. "
" @CptChiken said:You may have played more total time than him but he's played the entire game. And he seems to have enjoyed it quite a bit. So go play it as long as a 10 out of 10 lasting appeal score deserves. Stop being so angry that someone else only thinks this game is simply great." @Seppli said:" @FiestaUnicorn said:btw just asking but are you working for dice because you really really really REALLY seem to bum off this game, judging by the number of threads youve made about it "Since a majority of us here has acutally played the Beta and Demo of BF:BC 2 - of course we can.

"Did I walk into an alternate universe where 9 out of 10 is somehow a bad score? "
First of all, I'm not angry. 8.9 overall is a great score.
Anyways - there's no explanation given in the review why the sound design is a mere 9.0 and not a 10. The general opinion being that BF:BC 2 has the best or one of the best sound designs in the bizz. Same goes for the lasting appeal. The number has been pulled out of an ass without a reasoning. I see plenty of reasons why it should get the perfect 10 in those two categories from what I've played from the game thus far.
Especially considering IGN gave MW2 a perfect 10 for its sound and its lasting appeal, I am not the only one thinking it's 'effin inconsistent.
Why is everyone freakin out about the score? It's freakin IGN, their reviews almost always suck, we all know that. And as soon as he said Bad Company was annoying in the first game, and then began to compare it to MW2 you should of realized that it was obviously gonna be a standard IGN review: Bullshit.
Seems like Jeff is going to put out his review soon then, I saw him on IGNs Squad. As for the review it has a reasonable score, i don't know what the single player is yet so im going to have to figure that one out by my self but the multiplayer is intense and is way better than MW2, that is why I'm getting it.
Although its a very good score i'd like to know what makes MW2 better. Campaign is roughly same length and sounds of about equal quality. Multiplayer sounds fantastic just like MW2 is (in a different way albeit).
The 8.9 score seems like a very nerd rage page view move, I mean the game got 4/5 9's and just one 8 in the closing comments (and some of those sound wrong, sound only an 9? Lasting appeal 9 even though the quote with that is
sounds like a ten to me)This is the kind of multiplayer game you can go back to for months and months without getting bored.
" @FiestaUnicorn said:I agree with this. I mean MW2's gun sounds are like pea shooters compared to this game's sound quality.Since a majority of us here has acutally played the Beta and Demo of BF:BC 2 - of course we can.

I've got 250h of playtime on the beta and demo combined. It's very likely I've already spent 10x more time on BF:BC 2 than the IGN reviewer. Lasting appeal a 9.0... ridiculous! "
IGN isn't a single person you know. It's composed of many different reviewers of different tastes, views, and opinions. What one reviewer may consider a 10 the other may consider a 9. You're obviously a battlefield enthusiast judging by the playtime you've put into the game but that just means you felt a much stronger liking for the game than the reviewer did. How is that wrong in any way? He's simply doing his job, telling you how he felt about the game. I guarantee there are others who feel the exact opposite as you, thinking the praise this game is getting is unwarranted. And there are finally those who think its about right from what they've experienced. The general consensus is that the game is good. That should be enough for a fan. Those who were going to buy it before the review are still going to buy it. Bad Company 2's rep isn't tarnished by an 8.9. This whole debacle isn't because IGN sucks as a review source, it's because of the 7-10 review scale that has existed since the 1-10 range was introduced and the amount of gamers out there who use reviews for entirely the wrong reasons. In this warped world, a 7 is terrible, an 8 is good, a 9 is amazing, and a 10 is scoffed as overhyped.
First off let me start offf by saying that was a very well put together review. It focused on the strong while pointing out the weak. My problem is while BF games in general always look so fun and the online intense. However as soon I actually start playing, I soon realize thats things are not the same. while yes it is possible to have intense awesome moments there will also be a lot of time my team does not want to work together and we get constally killed by tanks ect by a the other team(in the demo anyways). So I think I will still have to give this a rent first. See if it was just the crate gamemode i did not enjoy in the demo.
I'm fine with the score it's the fact that two numbers should be 10. Sound and lasting appeal have to be 10 if MW2 had 10. Everyone in the gaming industry will not say that this is not fact.
I gave up on MW2 after 3 months as the MP did not live up to my hopes. I'm still playing BF2 so based on that fact MW2 10 for lasting appeal is false for me. The sound for BC2 is the best there is fact so how it was not 10 if MW2 was is false for me too. For these facts and the person doing the review hates BC1 is a good reason to question the review score.
But at the end of the day everyone if going to have a lot of fun with BC2 for months or years that is all that matters.
" mmmmm. He calls out the single player being six hours, That seems to be the standard in FPS genre. "Especially since I beat MW2's in 3 hours... >_>
