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.

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.

Seems a bit over dramatic...

I mean, what exactly would make it more interesting?

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

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 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:

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

HC is the way to go my friends.

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.

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

    • Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones

      By zikalify · Posted

      Waymo recalls self-driving software after cars enter closed freeway work zones by Paul Hill Waymo, the self-driving car maker owned by Alphabet – the parent company of Google –, has recalled some of its fifth-generation Automated Driving Systems (ADS). It did so after some of its cars drove through closed construction zones. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the affected vehicles were capable of driving through a closed freeway construction zone and continuing to drive at speed. The listing on the NHTSA website says that Waymo is currently developing a solution to fix this issue, but in the meantime, freeway driving is being restricted. Waymo will update its ADS software so that vehicles can detect when they can avoid entering construction zones. According to the Safety Recall Report, on April 20, 2026, Waymo’s Field Safety Committee began meetings reviewing an event from April 11, 2026, and five events from April 19, 2026, where Waymo’s autonomous vehicles didn’t recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into the pre-planned freeway construction zones. This took place in Phoenix, Arizona. Separately, on May 18, 2026, seven Waymo vehicles entered freeway lanes with active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area by driving between cones that were placed to show the lane was closed. On the back of both of these events, Waymo restricted freeway driving until it could address the issue. In June, Waymo’s Safety Board reviewed the issue and additional information related to ADS performances around construction zones; then, as a result, it decided to conduct a recall. This development is not good for Waymo as it adds to a growing list of technical hiccups its cars have experienced. Ultimately, it will lead to more scrutiny from lawmakers around the world who will be more cautious about letting autonomous vehicles on their roads without tighter regulation. For readers in areas where Waymo operates, does this news make you more wary about stepping into one of these vehicles?
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By snowy owl · Posted

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
