official Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[rajputwarrior]

they gotta fix adding servers to favourites... it just doesn't work. It just keeps "Waiting for Data"

[Krpano]

Never got bored with a BF game so fast....

Reached rank 26 and abandoned...(gave it to a friend)

I hope BF3 will be more interesting. One thing is sure if they make a crappy cross-plataform too ill skip it.

MW2 and BFBC2 were the first and LAST cross-plataform games i bought.

Am not getting bored but am getting quite annoyed with medic swarms :/

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I love it when enemy Medics swarm around the bodies of their fallen comrades. It makes it easier to blow them to bits with my grenade launcher (plus explosive perk). :)

Anyway, how often do you guys try to use the grenade launcher on enemies far out in the distance? I do it and I usually get a kill. It almost scares me how accurate I am with it.

[WastedJoker]

Depends on the map - at Panama Canal, if you stand near base C towards the river and aim towards A, you can get some lucky kills. Hard to describe the spot.

Seems a bit over dramatic...

I mean, what exactly would make it more interesting?

[deuz]

got long service on mdeic and assault...might as well go for it on engie..... gustav and m14 ftw :p. man i hate recon so much.... i might leave that class alone :(

[Razorwing]

isn't the GOL the one hit kill? lol . M24 needs more skill :D. .. M24 ftw. :yes:

Was just coming in here to post about that. :laugh: I hate it too. :(

I have to agree, gets very repetitive and predictable fast - I stopped playing it as well.

[PixilEyes]

We stay full between 4pm est to around midnight every night, and all weekend.

I'm trying to join the server but its so frustrating trying to find it since you can not join by IP. ......

[Slane]

very repetitive and predictable fast

Doesn't that describe every MP game out there, though?

[Singh400]

Got my first gold tags (image below) :D

Actually got them twice, and I love to tease him about it on Vent. His new nickname is goldie :rofl:

In hardcore all are one hit kill... The one that has a better chance in normal games for one hit kills is the M95.

yea, I don't see this game much less repetitive or boring as any other big multiplayer at there. Especially shooters.

Though perhaps the lack of gametypes and maps make the life span of this game a little shorter.

Absolutely agreed. Think it is an extremely valid point the game-play is no more repetitive than any other MP game out there.

So what I bolded in the post above is my biggest issue with the game and why it feels repetitive to me right now is one thing, and one thing only. The lack of maps.

I have shared it before in this thread, but I am just really into playing Conquest and that is it. I have indeed tried (at the urging of other members), and multiple times in fact, playing Rush mode, and while it is not awful, I just cannot get into playing it for several reasons.

So right now, lack of maps are killing it for me.

What is truly ironic, is with Battlefield 2, for a decent amount of when I played I would join a 24/7 Strike At Karkand server and played that map almost exclusively.

Actually, I checked my stats on Battletracker.com, and here is a pie chart breakdown of the 147 hours I played BF2.

That 28.6% accounts for 42:05:00 hours. I literally played that one map 42 hours, and never really got tired of it. Pretty crazy.

However, BC2 just does not have a Strike At Karkand to me yet. None of the maps are great like that map was (IMO obviously).

So the lack of maps, combined with the fact that there are no standout maps, really is making me lose interest sooner than later.

I still am into playing it, but I am not excited like I was back in the BF2 days. It could just be the fact I do not get to play now as much as I did back then, but honestly I would think this would mean I would look forward to playing even more than I did back then, and that is not the case.

And poking around the Battletracker Stats site, I saw these stats, completely confirming I am indeed a Tank ###### in case anyone ever thought I was kidding :laugh:...

I find my self not being able to play a non hc server now.

HC is the way to go my friends.

[former1]

Have to say that I slightly agree!

I actually really like africa harbor. I don't think it's one of the best maps ever made, but one of the best in the game. :yes:

Have to say I have yet to try HC mode yet. I just do not see it working for this game for me as I am just used to how it plays "normally," meaning ever since 1942 I have played it more or less at the "default" settings, but I will give it a whirl as it cannot hurt anything.

Have to say that I slightly agree!

Just curious with what? The hardcore mode comment?

I like it as well, probably because out of the BC2 maps, it is the one that reminds me most of a Karkand vibe.

I would have to say my least favorite map is Atacama Desert. Get rid of the copters and I would probably love it, but more and more I am finding all it takes is a really good copter pilot, and that map turns into a spawn camping at the base camp mess.

[Yusuf M. Veteran]

I have to say I agree with some of the points you guys brought up. Sure, the gameplay is repetitive but that's how it is with most online FPS games. More maps is what the game needs. I wish EA/DICE would release a mega map-pack with another 6 or 8 maps. As for the current maps, my favourite is Arica Harbor followed by Nelson Bay. I'm beginning to like hardcore mode a little more now that I'm playing Assault most of the time. It's so easy to improve your K/D ratio as Assault on a hardcore server.

On a side note, check out my stats: http://bfbcs.com/stats_pc/Anaron :p

I read a suggestion on some forum or another that they should import a lot of the BC1 maps. That would save them a lot of time creating maps from scratch. I think it's a good idea, it can't take that much work to update the maps.. just ask IW. :rofl:

I also agree with the lack of maps being this games downfall for me right now. I'm fairly bored of all the maps. I can't count how many times I had to play Arica Harbor this last week, it seemed like every time I joined a server it was that map. Really annoying.

Tried playing the free MW2 weekend for a little variety...noob tubers are way more common in that game than BC2. And the maps are so much smaller it makes the problem about 100x worse. Overall, I'm not impressed. CoD4 was the best game of that series for me.

At least that map is better than playing Valparaíso on Rush. :no: Sniper heaven.

Agreed that MW1 > BC2 > MW2. I hate the noobs in MW2, but I don't hate BC2....yet. :p

[SimplySchizo]

well, im not bored of it yet. i dont have long sit-ins though. i get maybe 5 games in every other day. yes more maps is desperately needed.

Panama Canal is my favorite map. I love playing engy here. Free Ace pin for me every time i come across it.

still havent touched squad rush/dm.
