This is my first time playing this game since beta on ps3, but I just bought it on sale for the PC(yay steam <3) but this game is fucking great the multi-player is so fun and intense, and the game looks gorgeous too, the maps are great and big this blows call of duty right out of the fucking water. Last time I played a battlefield game was battlefield2 oh how I loved that game so much. This game is my go to game for fun and excitement didn't know why  I missed out on this so glad I bought it!  anyone feel the same way as I do or was in the same situation as me, now exsuse me while I play some more Bad company 2!

Then COD:MW is basically BF2.

But without the vehicles.

I bought it during the steam sale and installed it. When I look for multiplayer servers there are none. What am I doing wrong?

CoD 4 stole everything from Battlefield 2. Get your shit straight.

And yeah, Bad Company 2 is much better than Call of Duty, simply because it perfectly utilizes teamwork. Totally different games though. To each his own.

I never really understood the hype Bad Company gets on this site.  I like Battlefield a lot, but BC2 is nothing special.

This. This. This. This.

I can easily carry a BlOps or MW match by myself even if my team is complete garbage. But in BC2 it doesn't matter if I have an ace squad and a completely shitty team. We will lose. I transitioned from BC to MW and most of my buddies did the opposite. And they have tons of troubles playing BC2 because they don't realize it takes teamwork to win.

fuck this games awesome I was running and all of a sudden a helicopter lands and explodes right in front of me! fucking awesome

Aaaw, that's cute. Little Billy's first attempt at a coherent counter point. It is right, because if it's not that is just pathetic.

@RsistncE: your fuckin avatar is the black ops box art.  EXPLAIN

Yep, it's pretty goddamn good.

@xobballox: Especially on PC it's fucking incredible of how shit happens, explosion everywhere!

I don't get why people have to like one or the other. If I want to drive vehicles and work as a team, I'll go with bc2 but if I just want to go lone wolf and shoot dudes in the face I'll throw on some cod. Both are pretty good imo.

Go to audio options and turn on War Tapes.
 
Awesome.

i got bored of BC2 after i maxed out the medic class (not including all those medals.)  i tried to get good at playing as the other classes but i just sucked at everything else so i bitched out and quit

Better late to the party than never right? It's still my go to online shooter.

Bad Company 2 has been my "main" game ever since the beta even! On the last hour before release I had already pre-installed from Steam and was just waiting for the authorization code. Really just sitting and waiting looking at the countdown, psyching myself up for some of the unbelievable great explosive action which that game delivers. Yeah, I was crazy...

What blew me away with BC2 was the sound. In my opinion, it has the best gun sounds I've heard in a game. And the fact that they sound different indoors and outdoors was great, too.

LOOOOOL. Just LOL.

Yep BF:BC2 is really awesome. Much better than COD, though it's probably not fair to compare the two since they are quite different.

I really like BC2, it is so much deeper than CoD. CoD is like quake, fast paced reflex based while BC2 is more team oriented. They are completely different games in my book. It would be like comparing Burnout and Forza Motorsport.

Battlefield lost me to World of Warcraft. Until I picked up Bad Company 1 for 360 in summer '08. Gradually, Battlefield won me back and is now once again my 'go-to' game/franchise for online multiplayer. It's competitive online multiplayer at its finest.

This. This. This. This.

• going down from 6 men per squad to four,  
• removing a squad leader that forces the entire squad to spawn at the same front and fight (and getting replaced by a random spawn-on-all system),  
• removing the communication rose that allowed faster more efficient exchange of requests and commands between players with a limited 4-command point-at-target-and-tap-button-and-if-target-is-not-in-sight-then-you're-screwed,  
• replacing the health bar that forced players to run together with their medics in order not to die, with a health regeneration system that allows you to lone-wolf and hide whenever you're damaged, 
• implementing the aimbot-esque 3D spotting that allowed players to see a big pointer on top of their enemies from miles away and through walls, allowing them to go for the kills without the aid of teammates since they know exactly where the enemy is

Nice feedback is nice. 
Will get your warmed up for BF3 :D 
 
edit: I like CoD and BF.

fuck this games awesome I was running and all of a sudden a helicopter lands and explodes right in front of me! fucking awesome

Ok ok let me wipe my face with my hands and understand this

You think, that

• going down from 6 men per squad to four,
• removing a squad leader that forces the entire squad to spawn at the same front and fight (and getting replaced by a random spawn-on-all system),
• removing the communication rose that allowed faster more efficient exchange of requests and commands between players with a limited 4-command point-at-target-and-tap-button-and-if-target-is-not-in-sight-then-you're-screwed,

You think that those Bad Company 2 characteristics perfectly utilized teamwork? Did the definition of 'teamwork' change recently? maybe i didn't get the memo

Also, on a side note, all MW stole from BF2 was the unlockables concept.. nothing else. Whereas Bad Company 2 stole from MW (or was inspired to do) the limited player count, the much smaller infantry-based maps, limited vehicles, K/D RATIO, overpowered weapons, the ability to spray bullets or use the auto-aimed panic knife and still get kills, and ofcourse the brain-cell-dumbing abundance of flashy on-screen XP notifications and abundance of pins and stars after each and every round (POINTS FOR EVEYTHING!) You, sirs, get your shit straight because it's all over the place, stinking up the joint!

Wow. I've never seen more incorrect info and rambling ignorance in my life. Sweet.

welcome to march 2010 dude....

@Ahmad_Metallic said:

@Rolyatkcinmai: Set me straight by correcting the incorrect info? I think that's what you're supposed to do, not just call it 'incorrect info and rambling ignorance' You clearly don't know your Battlefield, or are a BC2 fanboy, otherwise you'd have some sense to discuss those extremely valid and widely-accepted points i listed. I really doubt that you know anything about anything in that game, and that all you do is run and shoot.

I have played every Battlefield there has ever been except the PS2 version of BF2. I have likely played more Battlefield than everyone else in this thread combined. I didn't reply to your points because you were downright rude, and didn't deserve it. But since you're trying to be a cunt, sure.

All of your initial bullet points are moot because they are concessions made while going from PC to consoles. I did not say Bad Company 2 is the best battlefield, I simply stated it utilizes teamwork a hell of a lot better than Call of Duty, which utilizes it not at all. For a console shooter, Bad Company 2 is king of teamwork. Sure it's not nearly as good as Battlefield 2 was, or Battlefield 3 likely is, but it sure beats the lonewolf deathmatch-fest that is Call of Duty (and I enjoy me some Call of Duty, just totally different style). The only mode that uses teamwork in Call of Duty is Search & Destroy, and even that is limited by turned-off party chat and no ghost chat.

And the things that made CoD4 a success (leveling system, unlocks, class customization, challenges/medals) were all taken directly out of BF2. The only real innovation was the fact that IW did it on consoles and added Perks.

Limited player count - Every game ever has had a limited player count. Consoles traditionally smaller than PC. That has nothing to do with CoD. Blame Halo 2 for this if anything.

The much smaller infantry-based maps - Smaller than BF2, sure. But they're still at least 10x-25x the size of a CoD map.

Limited vehicles - The fuck game are you playing? There's like one map in BC2 with few vehicles.

K/D RATIO - Counterstrike... Quake...

Overpowered weapons - Nope. Combat is entirely different in each game. Guns do far less damage in BF.

The ability to spray bullets - Wolf 3D? Doom?

The auto-aimed panic knife - This one I'll give you.

Abundance of flashy on-screen XP notifications and abundance of pins and stars after each and every round - BF2.

It seems like you're bitching from the point of a PC gamer that plays Bad Company 2. If you play on PC you should be playing BF2. If you play on consoles you should be playing Bad Company 2. One is a console game, the other is a PC game.

Didn't bother with the MP but I know the single player was pretty average at best with a lot of bad design choices.  Not to mention a stupid boring plot.

I have no idea what you're doing wrong but I wanted to assure you that there are a ton of servers - I am looking at some right now. Perhaps make sure that you don't have too stringent of filters? I am really unsure why you are experiencing this.

@Rolyatkcinmai: Actually the perks system came from BF2142's passive upgrades. You just couldn't pick and choose which ones you used before each fight.

But yes, COD4's best additions were aped from Dice.

Even with the smaller maps than what you saw with the Battlefield2 game, the assortment of vehicles & sheer destruction you can do (plus no killstreaks) makes it quite enjoyable (for me & others) in addition to the single player having some memorable characters. CoD is fun but always enjoy going back to the Battlefield series over CoD. 
 
Also with the madcap mischief that happens in this game is captured quite well by Ryan on one of the TNT episodes where they were trying to fly a helicopter only to have unpredictable consequences & Ryan stating that the game is about an expendable squad of screw-ups so seeing all this madness happen is part of it's charm.

Pretty sure this stuff is more inspired by Halo. You know, that immensely popular franchise that actually features limited vehicles? Also the various medals awarded each round for certain accomplishments? Call of Duty wasn't the only or even the first game with those qualities.

edit:To be clear, I don't even think copying mechanics is a bad thing, as long as it improves the play experience. Stories are a bit different, but if an author can put a new twist on an old tale, even that is fair game.

@sins_of_mosin: Why didn't you play the MP? Yeah, the SP was crap but that's not really the reason to play it.
