I forgot to add: 
The game requires you to change the "Vertical Fly" option everytime you switch between a UAV and a chopper.

     *  Horrible Lighting effects that prevent you from seeing anything in the distance. Seriously, this game has the worst overuse of bloom I have ever played in a game (yes, it is worse than early gen 360 titles).
    * The movement is slow and wooden. For example, why am I not allowed to strafe while running? I can strafe while running in real life, I can strafe while running in almost every other game as well.
    * Wheres the prone?
    * Wheres the EA servers? Every time I want to play online I have to sift through the horrible server browser. Why can't I just hit team death match and auto-join a match like Modern Warfare 2?
    * Too team focused. I have no desire to join a clan and I don't have any friends that play PC games. Every time I log in I end up facing some clan that absolutely steam rolls the team I'm on. It's like the developers have tried as hard as possible to screw over everyone looking for a PUG.
    * Clans should be banned from ranked matches. This kind of goes with what I mentioned above. Why would DICE allow clans to play ranked matches? There is a reason why clans aren't allowed on the 360. They destroy the fun of everyone who isn't in one. I'm all for clan support in a game, but in ranked matches? No. Clans should either be banned from ranked matches or forced to play against other clans.
    * Lag. Seriously, the server browser says that I have a ping of 45 and yet the game is a slide show. MW2 has less lag than what I have experienced in this title.
    * This game is fugly. I'm talking as ugly as Fergie from the black eyed peas type fugly. Meh textures, bad lighting, stiff animation and an overall conservative approach to polygon use.
    * Maps are way too big for the small player count. The maps are as big as the ones found in 1942 and yet we have a third of the player count. When you are playing against a team with snipers I have gone minutes without seeing any action. On top of what I have mentioned if you spawn at the back of the map and there isn't any vehicles you are better off just waiting for one to spawn than to try and run somewhere. I believe that any game where you have to just stand around for forty five seconds had failed.

The fact that there's no penalty for spawn killing is what eventually made me stop playing.

I would never ever play an FPS on a console. So this is from a PC pov. 
 
- Defending in Rush is way too easy. The defenders should have some kind of limitation to the spawn. Perhaps not tickets, but a longer spawn timer. 
- Medics are still Rambojesus. The health boxes should be the focus, not the god damned defibs or their stinking newbie-friendly LMGs. 
- LMGs got way too big magazines. Encourage spraying (and it works alot of the time). Medics should have shotguns/m14 or something like that imo.
- No bulletdrop on LMGs, SMGs and Assault rifles makes them too powerful in long range. Hell, alot of the time its more effective than using a sniper rifle. 
- Maps are too small. 
- Still too much explosive spamming. 
- Some glitches in the map. Allowing people to stand on ledges that really shouldnt be there. Isla got quite a few at the last base (defenders right side close to the pile of timber is the most annoying one. As if that base isnt hard as hell to take already).
- Class-stacking is way too effective. Medic stacking on Nelson Bay, engineers on African Harbor (first base), Atacama Desert (last base), recon stacking is never good (since most of the recons sucks donkey balls playing the "I score 2 kills from the fucking moon"-sniper). 
- The new trend of piling a few squads at a good camping spots shooting rockets on the Mcoms. C4ing/AT-mines on the mcoms is lame. 
- The snowy village (cant remember the name) in rush is a fasttrack to nerdrage. Jesus the explosives. 
- CG/RPG on infantery. Lame! Altho, its not as bad as it used to be. 
- Ammo boxes restocking grenades (grenade hill on the second base in Port Valdez is just annoying). 
- Some people seem to disregard the objectives and play TDM (the only thing that would solve it would be a TDM mode to get rid of those people). 
 
phew...still I like the game.

For me, knife and points after death. Everything else is alright, and I'm still having a blast playing so...

Attack helicopters should just be removed from the game. Just remove the attack heli and place a tank there instead.
Knife is super tempermental about working. I cannot recall the number of times I've died thanks to the knife not working when I needed it... just for stabbing people in the back, too. It's insane.

Shotguns snipe better than snipers.

It doesn't run all that well on my computer, and I had a lot of difficulty connecting to matches until very recently.

My only complaint is the people who just sit back and play recon by just sniping random dudes and don't help do the objectives.

no jets, map sizes are a joke given previous BF games.

The same answer for most multiplayer games: The people playing it.

For me, the worst thing is...
 
Mapdesign. Too narrow Rushmaps with too few vehicles and space for rich all sorts of tactics. Conquest mode maps too archaic. Default nocap bases are prime targets. It's way too viable a tactic to attack the default spawns directly. That's just bad gamedesign.

Lag. 
And glitches.  
And lack of maps.

Not enough maps, and Carl Gustav spam.

Knifes is my biggest pain in the ass, followed by tracer darts being nerfed to hell and the smallest amount of lag (for me at least makes it useless) 
 
Maps is an interesting topic. On Paper now the map list is pretty long, however after you play most of them you get a feeling that they were created around their release day purpose. The VIP Map packs they put out didn't give players any new maps but just opened up the other playmode for a map.  Maps that were made for Rush were converted to conquest maps ect. This seems to be a quick way to stretch and reuse game assets rather then making more content. Hell since release the only paid content was a halfass attempt at  horde mode that had terrible issues and really no replayablity after you beat it the first couple times.   
 
Also the stupid bug that shows up lately where your team wins and you get the loss message or the other way around. 

Lag and poor matchmaking. People above a certain level should be isolated from lower level players and the presence of teams should factor in somehow to the matchmaking equation.

Rush mode is a failure.
 
DICE wanted to recreate BF2's "action" where a team would spawn at one flag and the enemy team would spawn at an adjacent location; using the Rush mechanic. But it's a failure because they failed to consider the fact that a squad may branch off and move to flank and/or in a sneaky way capture a distant flag.
 
It's so stupid in BC2. People are saying in chat "ohh... you don't want to die? PUSH forward" . To me BC2 Rush mode is like a sardine can, you're trapped; there's not much else to do... BC2 is extremely 1-dimensional.
 
So I'm playing defender and the enemies are hitting the MCOM from a mile away with their tank. I don't know where they are because I just see the MCOM flash (that it has been hit) and that's hit. No sound, no trace. Stupid. No enemies tried to activate the MCOM, so from a defender point of view my gameplay was cheated. In BF2, I could say "fuck this, these c*nts want to spam this location? no fucking problem, I'll go flank them and get a flag from behind their line". WIth my squad, we cap a flag from behind and break the enemy line. 
 
Terrible terrible, terrible stuff in BC2. I think it shows when DICE didn't even have the heart to play and test the damn thing out. So many flaws, any n00b can find them; but here the creators themselves didn't even find them. Shocking.
 
A few weeks ago I was watching Bad Company 1 videos on youtube, trying to see gameplay. One thing that immediately stood out to me was that all the rifles had unique reload animations. What the fuck? Here in BC2 they all have essentially the same generic reload animation. The M16 seems to be the only rifle in BC2 that retained a proper reload animation. What gives? In MW2, all guns have specific animations. Hell, in MW2 there are 2 reload animations depending on if you reload with an empty mag or not. Such attention to detail. 
 
Weakness DICE, weakness. 
 
Mode packs.... please.

• Atacama Desert is one of the worst maps I've ever seen in my life
• The knife is BROKEN. There are two animations: the normal slash animation and the stab-in-the-head animation that triggers when killing an enemy. The problem is that you literally cannot kill an enemy with the slash animation. Earlier today I came across an enemy who didn't notice me, and I hit the knife button. He slashed, and the knife cut across his body BUT HE JUST FLINCHED. You know how when you knife a teammate (not in hardcore mode), they kinda flinch? It did just that. Blood came out, his body jerked a little, but he didn't die. He survived my knife attack. lolwut
• Spawning is kinda messed up in Conquest. Sometimes I spawn right in front of enemies or too close to them that I get killed after taking a few steps.
• Isla Inocentes is all kinds of terrible

I play it on the 360 and have never experienced lag or connection problems. The knife pisses me off though. 

Personally I do love this game but for me theres two things that ruin some games:
Snipers on the attacking team!! - If you must play recon whilst attacking, tool up with a shotgun and play ninja, motion sensor style.
People dont spot - Its so so so easy, and I guarantee the team that spots more is the team that wins. Just press Q every time you see an enemy even if you know you will kill him.
 
There are other minor problems, such as the knife issue, although lately thats been working fine for me.
Overall still the best multiplayer shooter there is.

No chat between map load, favourite servers doesn't work, map size is too small  and we need more new maps .... 

Single player. I went through it to get the achievements but it was probably one of the worst single player games I have ever played.

I am on PC so the game is not so glitchy, but still the latency is noticeable, and the graphics are good but not amazing.

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

The single-player campaign. It's good, but not as great as the multiplayer. I also like the multiplayer's feel so much that I don't get mad about specific weapons.

It's not Battlefield. The maps are way too linear to be Battlefield.
 
It's Call of Duty: Slightly Bigger Edition.

It's a fun game, but it's buggy as hell. Not as bad as Battlefield 1943, but bad nonetheless.

why dont you compare it to a more simular map. that map is designed for a game mode that didnt exist in battlefield 2.  "

" @Three0neFive: If BC2 was supposed to be the same game, it would be called Battlefield 3. What I've never seen a good argument for is why smaller is worse. Halo only has a 16 player cap, so christ that must suck. "

@Three0neFive: thats the smallest map, but for one, there is no aerial vehicles, or humvees. its the one map that backs up your claim. but i'll just say its a battlefield BAD COMPANY game. its supposed to be a bit different. battlefield 3 should more than satisfy you. or better yet,  just play MAG and move on.

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

Pretty much this. Everyone and their grandmother wants to be a sniper who does nothing but sit in a bush the whole damn game going for those "sick headshots" "

 The worst part of BC2 is the fact that I paid $10 for Onslaught mode. 

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

" The fact that there's no penalty for spawn killing is what eventually made me stop playing. "

Knifing is too delayed.
 
Weapons and gadgets are unlocked way to easily, leaving the user with nothing to work for pretty early on.
 
 
That's about it for me.

The game doesn't have any type of Stinger missile that I can just whip out and shoot out helicopters. I have to lock on to them using a diffferent tool and then use the shitty tube thing they call a rocket launcher.

knife not working mostly. other than that its pretty damn good.  
 
also maybe the optic zoom for tanks and using that to exploit on gold rush
