Now be honest. What is the worst thing(s) about the game?  
 
Honestly. Spit it out. In your opinion what is the worst thing about the game. 

Knife doesn't work 
Shotgun slugs don't work  
No flares for choppers
Connection to EA problems 
Friends list doesn't work 
Friends list doesn't serve much purpose 
Doesn't use Steam 
Favourite Servers doesn't work 
Voice chat doesn't work 
Voice chat doesn't have a button for team chat as well and only squad chat. 
Don't get points while dead 
No chat history 
Is a console port

It's not Battlefield 3 and I have a wait a few years for it to come out. 

Useless snipers in multiplayer. Not the games fault, just the people who play it.

knifing not working is the most annoying thing ever.

knife sometimes doesnt work 
and saiga 20k and m60 are overpowered

I haven't played in a couple months, but a lot of the weapons needed serious balancing.  
 
The worst thing about this game though is that it's made by Dice...so you know for the first couple weeks multiplayer will be pretty much unplayable.

on the 360 it does lag quite a bit.

" knifing not working is the most annoying thing ever. "

Running into the occasional laggy match that makes the game unplayable and incredibly frustrating.

I don't like how the game is designed when a player dies and a "killcam" or something similar would also be cool.

" Useless snipers in multiplayer. Not the games fault, just the people who play it. "

That EA handles the servers for mp.  The lag has gotten rediculous.

The knifing is just something you have to get used to.  And besides, it's a one hit kill and a hit or miss type of thing that somewhat requires your opponent to be stationary.  Try stabbing a moving person and even you won't be able to hit it that easily.  If the knifing is easy to hit, then I think it will be overpowered.
 
What I hate most about the game?  As mentioned above, some of the players who don't play the game properly like useless snipers who don't do recon work, engineers who don't take down tanks, assaults who don't give ammo.  The medics in general do fairly well, I don't encounter that much crappy medics in matches. 
 
Recently, the lag.  It does kill the game, but after the update, I think the lag has lessened. 
 
And I guess Squad Rush is one mode that I don't enjoy playing.

I just started on it, however the single player sort of sucks. It's like call of duty single player with absolutely no talent.

The multiplayer servers are handled by EA, the online connectivity buggyness wasn't Dice's fault. "

I didn't delve into any of the multiplayer this time round because of time but as far as the campaign is concerned my biggest beef is that they buried the charm that made the first game so fun to play.

Irrelevant. I've played other EA games online on launch day and they've worked fine. EVERY single Dice games never works properly at launch. It doesn't matter what platform it's on. If Dice made it, it't not going to work at launch. I've never played a dice game that worked at launch. EA doesn't design the net code.  "

• random freezes, random disconnects, stats loss following freezes and crashes - generally above avarage instability of the game in multiplayer 
• packet loss related inconsistencies (hits not properly registering) and lag (I don't suffer from lag, but if others do, I suffer too indirectly - see packet loss related inconsistencies) 
• movement in Battlefield games could use an overhaul - why can't things go as smoothly as in Mirror's Edge (that other DICE game)... 
• I'd prefer wider and more open Rush maps with no meatgrinder chokepoints 
• I'd prefer a higher playercount (32 for Rush/64 for Conquest) 
• too many bad players (mandatory tutorial for Multiplayer modes could help)

-Artillery is gay. I play recon all the time and never use it, and nobody else should. There should be a limit for artillery per team
-People spawning on team members should not be invincible. I've died so many times because a guy spawns and soaks up my attack with no affect and kills me.
 
that's about it

So its coincidence games like Skate 3 still have problems connecting to EA servers on a daily basis? "

look at this... within a day, this thread is rolling.  There are issues with this game. I only play RUSH mode in BC2;  I avoid PSEUDO CONQUEST mode in BC2.
 
Why do people want to be snipers? People just say "too many snipers" but why do players choose that class, a lot? That's the question. Why? because some snipers feel safe in the back? They feel concealed? or safe? I think when people want to be snipers they are saying "hey, slow this fucking game down assholes" .  
 
In BF2, if you wanted fast gameplay you would spawn to the flag nearest to the flag being capped by the enemy.  Otherwise if you wanted to slow down and think about tactics/options you could spawn far away and haul ass to an enemy position. 
 
This allowed you to think. In BC2 you essentially always spawn at the choke point.  DICE are trying to always force "spawning to the flag nearest to the flag being capped by the enemy" in BC2, since the overall player count is half. And I'm talking about RUSH mode. At least in BF2 you could maneuver around the choke point and plan an attack; here in BC2 the attack path is linear. So stupid. I find gameplay to be frustrating at time and other times gameplay feels hopeless because a squad can't sneak around and the other players on your team (as attacker) just hold(camp) and don't attack.
 
Another thing I've noticed is that while defender, the attackers will use the blackhawk as a 'one-use' squad transport. Basically it's filled and they all jump out behind the lines. In BF2, that's fine because the map is so large, if they get behind enemy lines and cap a flag; big deal because now the opponents will be storming that position from other flags and the ability to go to another flag will be challenged. 
 
In BC2 there is no other position to attack from(as a defender) or anything; such a move by the attacker essentially destabilizes the defense.
 
I think that because BC2 is a small game, parachuting from the chopper should not be allowed. The only way it should work is if the chopper lands and then unloads. Otherwise the gameplay is messed up. I've noticed this issue in Valperiso? the map with the light house; not the first MCOM tier, but the 2nd through the 5th tiers it happens.  It's difficult to identify such an attack usually because everybody can use all the guns. It's not like only Russians use AK and only Americans use M16.  In BF2 you could identify enemies based upon their weapon. You'd be playing in BF2 as MEC and if you heard a M16, you think "hey what the fuck, our team doesn't use M16s" you turn the fuck around and see "holy shit it's the fucking enemy!!1235" ...  and you'd attack and so would your team mates because they heard it too.
 
Where is this in BC2? it's not there and a helo one-use transport  messes up the attack/defend lines greatly.
 
I find it pathetic that EA/DICE are holding back the content in this game.  The single player showed South American soldier models and locations. Those could be new skins and maps for the game. I think they are testing the response to their actions for future work. Basically all the content they are releasing from here on out has already been made from before retail. All the upcoming updates and content has been finished and they are trickling this shit out little by little; giving the impression that they are constantly working on it.
 
They can do this because they have identified the life-span of this game as being 1-year (my opinion), until BF3 comes out. They have already defined release targets for the content: "players will start getting bored by the 5th month..." bla bla bla and they plan like that on when to release the already created content.
 
 How can I say all the content is already made? Because.......... haven't you noticed that when you switch from Assault rifle to GL, there is no scope? A EA/DICE rep said it would be too much work to go back and fix that shit up. If they can't go back and mod their already made shit, what makes you think they'll make new stuff from scratch, from nothing, to make us happy? There are other examples too, of how they won't go back and fix things of this level. They just don't have the team dedicated to it to make new stuff and modify it, they are working on other projects.
 
It's a waste of money to go back and fix. Thus pre-made stuff is the strategy. Make content before release and slowly trickle it out; the community will think "holy fuck, DICE are working overtime for us" ... when in fact they're not. They can't even work a patch.  They have a nifty updating mechanism that's seeing little use. It's funny. Where are the hotfixes? mini-patches and stuff?

* The maps suck.  They should have realistic ArmA2-like maps.  The original BC had maps that looked "real-er". 
* Silly jumping shouldn't exist in games anymore.  You should have a "climb-over"/"climb-up" button.  
* In hardcore more, you should not be able to: dispense ammo, health, "heal" vehicles, have a reticule for the shotguns (you should be able to look down the barrel of the shotgun; not just shoot from the hip).  The goofy tracer dart thing should be disabled. (Alternatively, there should be an extra "more realism" mode.) 
* There should be a man-portable AA missile (Strela/Stinger). 
* The matching should be based on ping times (as a pwnzorer, I have skill 200 and get matched with Europeans and South Americans, even though I live in CANADA.)
 * The stats should differentiate between hardcore and babycore modes: I only play HARDcore, because I'm the PWNZorer, for Pete's sake.

This is most definitely the worst thing about this game. "

On 360:

• Lag
• Knife inconsistencies
• Spawn, run for about a minute to action, die, repeat.
• Spawn camping (doesn't happen often, but kills all the fun of the day if it happens once)
  
• Useless team mates (please just throw ammo/spot/throw spotting mines)
•  Helicopters are overpowered in certain areas. (final spot on Isla Inocentes)
  

Sub-par net code.

I feel like I was a lot better with the knife in previous Battlefields.  I was a Goddamn terrorist with that thing in 2142.
 
I agree with you guys about people playing the recon class.  My friend Nathan commented that I'm the only recon player he's ever heard that runs out of motion mines.  I find those to be the most useful squad support gadget in the game, and when I play other classes, I never see the recon guys using them.

" Useless snipers in multiplayer. Not the games fault, just the people who play it. "

I dont like how the bodies dont feel as if they have any weight, when I run a dude over I want to feel that impact so that I know I hit a dude 

my biggest problem with it is the sluggishness of turning and aiming down the sights. I think people should be able to use a high sensitivity if they want (on console),  but its all but impossible.
