Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Game » consists of 26 releases. Released Mar 02, 2010
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is the second installment in this spin-off Battlefield series. It has a more serious campaign and a vastly expanded multiplayer system.
Least Favorite Rush Map?
Mine is Isla Inocentes. There's too much incentive for casual players to resort to extreme-longrange sniping.
Although Isla Inocentes can be very amazing with two really good teams going at each other. Love having 2 fully manned Blackhawks buzzing about and dudes paratrooping from it. Despite having huge potential for extremely intense match-ups, usually it devolves into a snipe fest going nowhere. For the shame of the current BF community, Isla Inocentes is my least favorite Rush mode map (at the moment).
Isla Inocentes, due to reduced base spawning (attackers only able to spawn at the first base I believe?) your at the mercy of the chopper pilot, that or a long run or suicide jetski. Also few attackers play this map properly (snipers) and this makes it very hard to win. I pretty much only play conquest now, it seems a lot more balanced and more immune to cheap tactics.
I see understand why nelson bay is unpopular (no vehicles) but its good to have some variety, I like the tense atmosphere here. Also I often feel oblijed to be an engineer at other maps becuase the tanks are often ignored or wasted by the rest of the team, here I can enjoy assault, medics and recon without guilt.
What's with all the Nelson Bay hate? I love that map. It's nice to play a match focused around infantry combat. One of my favourite matches was defending on that. We lost the first points after a pretty long battle focused around A, and then when we pulled back my squad and a couple of other guys dug in behind that line of concrete boxes in front of B at the second point. There was literally constant gunfire for about 10 minutes, it was awesome. A lot of the time I was just spraying light machine gun rounds into the forest where I thought guys were, basically just shooting because everyone else was.
OT: It would have to be Isla Innocentes. Every stage of that map is to easy to defend. The third stage would be OK if the defenders didn't get a Hind. The cannon on that is fucking insane.

I hate Nelson Bay for that reason!
I go engie 90% of the time and when Nelson Bay shows up I have to switch to a class that I'm no good at. hehe. Although unlocking medic class is my new goal when playing NB and it is indeed a tense map.
The more I play the maps, the more I like them. Getting to know the different strategies, what works, what doesn't, trying new things, the more I begin to appreciate the little things with all the maps and different sections of each map.
Isla Innocentes is my least favorite... even on squad death match i hate that map..
I really like Nelson Bay at times because some maps can get so vehicle heavy and then that map gives you a bit of a breather..
Vehicles can make Valparaiso semi-annoying too.. considering everything on that map used for cover is made of crap...
Isla Innocentes makes me sad. Usually because my teammates all go sniper and try to hold that little sliver of land next to the island, leaving me and a couple other suckers to try to destroy the mcoms by ourselves.
Wow I really don't get how people can dislike Nelson bay so much, it's a fairly balanced map.
It is only boring and non linear if you want it to be, there are plenty of strategies and approaches available once you get to know it better :)
Even engineer has uses as I find that a lot of the time your team is not good enough to use mortar strikes or grenade launchers on those pesky stationary turrets.
Are people scared of the dark?
Turn your brightness up :P
Inocentes! I can't stand that map, I still don't know where all the snipers hide. :(
Arica is my fave, it's good for all classes and everybody always gets 1000+ and not just one person dominating with 5000.
EDIT: I understand what people mean about engineers being useless on NB, but the other day I sat at the side of the map whilst defending and just used my rocket launcher across the map whilst a buddy gave me ammo and shot grenades, we got loads of kills and assists and it keeps them away from the bombs. Also, the silencer on the SMG helps when you're sneaking into position, nobody can hear you and you only see people close up through the trees.
