Or you fail at properly describing your point and providing examples.

What's the point in writing out a 4-page novel to explain my point to the detail, will you give me a shiny medal and build a statue resembling me?

Though, I am flattered my opinion matters that much to you :)

You don't need a 4 page novel to list one game as an example that isn't repetitive and doesn't suffer from the same drawbacks as BC2. Looks like you were talking the talk, but can't walk the walk.

why do you care so much about why sethos likes/dislikes the game?

He said he doesn't like the game and I'm perfectly fine with that. Is asking him to provide examples on games that he finds the MP to not be so negative a bad thing? I'd love to give the MP that doesn't suffer from repetition and all the other drawbacks he listed with BC2. If there is MP games that can't be describe the same way he describe BC2, I'd love to play 'em, wouldn't you?

I find it funny when on this site when someone doesn't like a game some people get all hurt about it. If I he doesn't like it he doesn't like.

I find it funny, someone asking someone to explain themselves a bit more clearer, automatically makes people think that person is hurt. Asking questions that bad?

He hasn't been left alone since stating that he no longer finds the game fun.

Yeah it might be funny the first time, but when people do it over & over, you start to get ****ed off.

He hasn't been left alone since stating that he no longer finds the game fun.

Because he continued the conversation. Didn't you read all his responses?

Yeah it might be funny the first time, but when people do it over & over, you start to get ****ed off.

While this is could be true. It isn't my intent here. I really want to know what MP games he plays that can't be describe the exact same way he described BC2.

Not sure why you keep pursuing this, Slane. I already explained why I don't like this game, well one of the reasons and that's the predictability - You simply refuse to accept my reason

and then another question arise; would you accept anything else I say? You just seem to love this game very much and refuse to accept anything negative said about the game so no point in wasting my

time writing out long opinions because you will never accept them, just find more moot points to bring up in some sort of defence of the game.

And honestly, why's it important what I play, are you just aching to find some sort of argument point or try to get my attention here? I've played nearly every single major FPS title out there and some were good,

some weren't. BC2 just happens to be one of those games that doesn't appeal to me in the long run, doesn't do anything out of the ordinary, doesn't hold my interest and seem to take every single clich? and point of annoyance

from other first person shooters and roll it into one ball of snooze.

So either accept the fact that I don't like your precious game or move in, instead of this charade - Fair?

Oh an Anaron, it's actually not correct to call it Armed Assault 2; it's just "ArmA 2" :p ( Nitpicking, sorry ).

Haha, you're right. The first one was "ArmA: Armed Assault". :pinch:

Rumor has it, that it's new maps. :)

I hope that's true.

Yeah fat chance of that happening. Can't think of one BF game that they introduced more vehicles after shipping.

You never know...

Guy, do you honestly believe I'm pursuing this because I love this game or I'm out to get you?

This game is full of snipers and campers. Both of which I hate and does make me quit playing the MP for long stretches.

This game has a serious lack of maps. Doesn't bother me as I'm not to the bored part of 'em yet, but the game really could use fresh maps.

This game has a lack of game types. It's classic BF stuff, but some fresh types would add life to the game for everyone.

I far from love this game as you are assuming.

When you listed the negatives of the game, to me it was like you were comparing it to MP games that have none of those issues. This has me interested, as any game that doesn't have those issues would be one hell of a game to play. I'm asking for you to tell me these games so I can try 'em for myself and play them. If there is not games then this "charade" can end. I'm under the impression that you play MP games that don't have those issues and that's the information I want.

I accept your opinion of the game and it doesn't bother me. In fact that's not even the issue I'm trying to discuss. I simply want to know what game (s) you were alluding to.

This paragraph from you is what really got me wanting to know what:

Most multiplayer games will surprise you every time, this doesn't, this is so predictable as to where you might

find snipers, how the matches play out, camping spots etc. it's like playing the same matches over and over because

despite having large maps - There's so many "De facto" tactics that are used EVERY time.

What games are you talking about? I want to play them as they sound hell-u-va fun and better than BC2.

Now do you understand? I'm not out against your personal opinion (I could care less) or out for you. Simply want you to elaborate a bit more on a statement you made with the name of some games.

I'd love to write you a list but then you'd oppose the list by saying "Oh BC2 is just like those" and I'd have to write out a long page-long reply explaining why BC2 isn't competitive or very mixed up

due to be all about points, no competitiveness and how the same 4 "decent" locations in every map or at every combat point is filled to the brim with at least 6 players and the rest of the team are kamikaze

bum rushing the objectives to get points, thus making every match a predictable affair and because it's so predictable there's never any excitement or adrenaline which is a key point that keeps you from returning.

/facepalm

Nevermind man. Simply wanted some games so I can play them myself and see if there any different as you say they are. I guess that is to much to ask for.

I just told you why I won't give you such a list, based on your very own reaction to my opinions earlier in the thread. You were all over me like a dog in heat for that,

I could just imagine me posting a list and your reaction, then me having to explain it all to you :rofl:

dude, no one here was more excited about this game more then sethos. Even when i bad mouthed it earlier in the thread he defended it but over time his opinion changed... get over it.

he has valid points about the game and he's allowed to have an opinion. you're acting like a crusader trying to save Jerusalem from the Muslims...

So your saying it's wrong for me to ask him to name some other games he finds more fun than BC2? That's all I'm asking. I don't care if he hates or loves the game and I have no intention of discussing his list of games, if he ever decides to post it. You are totally mis-interpreting my reason for asking and even after explaining you still don't grasp what I'm asking.

well, if you simply asked it like that in the first place it would be fine i would think, but instead all this crap where your asking why this, why that...it kind of gives an impression.....

ontopic: gustav is hopeless against tanks, once im done on engie im going back to assault, and yeh im hoping new maps will come out soon.

Alright, guys. I was hoping it wouldn't come to this but I'm going to have to step in. Enough with the blah blah blah. Lets get back on topic.

Anyway, I think we can all agree that the game needs more maps. Someone mentioned here that the next map pack may contain new maps, unlike the last map pack which only added Rush or Conquest mode to existing maps.

Hell yes! More Rush maps please. Conquest is so boring for me. The only map I like Conquest on is the small snowy one (White Pass?). And more CQC maps please, no more Arica Harbor long walk/drive get nailed by a million tanks nonsense please (well first objective, if you manage to get your team from the hills/tanks and progess then it's an awesome map).

This game has the potential to be GREAT, at the moment it is barely good. I am only continuing playing it because I need a filler until Brink and everyone from ET:QW is playing. If they were to patch/fix [a lot] of the issues. Then hands down, it would be an AWESOME game.

Hopefully they release a xpack or so every 4 months. I'd dish out the 50 bucks.
Errr, hell no!

Errr, hell no!

they fix all the little issues and this game would be amazing. like why is it so hard to remember a default gun selection? choosing every time you hit up a server is annoying

I did read that the next map pack would add new maps. But I also saw/read somewhere that they were adding new modes to the current maps as well. Like a Port Valdez conquest map.

Anyways, I know it's totally out of the question but what I would like to see is maybe in the current maps. Make them a little larger, and add secondary objectives to the maps that could spread players out a little more. This would also give us more variety in what we have to do to win any given round. On Port Valdez while you're flying a helicopter you can see all these extra buildings in different areas of the map that are currently out of bounds. And other maps have these extra out of bounds buildings too. Give those areas some purpose. That could really go a long ways in changing the game play with not very much effort. And the stuff is already there so they won't even have to do much to the maps.

Of course this won't ever happen but it would be awesome to see. Oh yeah, and balance the weapons please, less m60 rambo medics imo!

I just had this fun event.... well pretty much what happened was I snuck up on a sniper trying to snipe, killed him with a pistol then reloaded, while running away. Then a medic on his team ran past me and revived the dead sniper. I turned around and killed the sniper again and with one bullet remaining on my pistol; headshotted the medic. LOL.

    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good by Usama Jawad I have been using Windows since the early 2000s, when I was around 10 years old or so. I vaguely remember playing around with Windows 98 and Windows 2000, but that may have been on school PCs which had old operating systems installed. My main OS on the home PC, and the one I recall spending most time with, was Windows XP. At that time, I used the home PC to create Word and PowerPoint documents for school, but a lot of the time, I simply used it to play games. My dad would bring game discs which we would try and install on the PC, sometimes unsuccessfully, and sometimes, we would rely on flash games in the browser, like Bubble Trouble on Miniclip. However, the problem with the latter approach was the internet speed. On a good day, our dial-up internet would offer us speeds of 56 kbps, but on most days, it was closer to 33 kbps. This did not facilitate online gaming as I would often have to wait minutes for a game to load or "draw" on the screen, and trying to download pirated games wasn't simple either. I remember getting tired of waiting for online games to load and just downloading simulator games from the Big Fish Games website instead, only to be disappointed after finding out that I was just being given access to trial versions of the title, and I needed to fork out money to pay for the full version. All of this is to say that it wasn't very easy to find entertainment options on the home PC when I was a kid, due to a number of reasons, mostly outside of my control. This situation pushed me towards a rather unconventional ally: Microsoft Paint. Whenever the internet wasn't working as good as I expected, I would simply spin up Paint and draw complete rubbish on the canvas. Of course, that wasn't always the intention, but it usually happened when I messed up drawing a straight line or something, and then I would give up on that particular piece and simply draw a random collection of objects. Microsoft Paint was extremely accessible and easy to use. Even if you weren't an artist, you could quickly understand the tools at your disposal and how to leverage them on a canvas. The absolute breadth on offer ensured that each painting was truly unique, as you could utilize various combinations of tools like the pencil, paint, spray paint, and more to truly personalize your creation. Since I wasn't particularly good at drawing both on digital screen or a physical screen, I remember that my main style of art would be to insert a bunch of randomly intersecting lines and then fill them with random colors through the paint can. I have trying to replicate that art style in the latest version of Paint below, and as you can see, it's truly Pablo Picasso-esque. The human imagination truly knows no bounds Microsoft Paint kept me occupied for hours and was my best friend when video games on the home PC were inaccessible for one reason or the other. There was no academic or professional reason for which I would need to use Paint, but I still loved using it in my personal time, even if what I created wasn't worth being shown to anyone. It was simply fun. Fast-forward to today, and the situation is mostly the same. Now that I am almost 29 years old, and I still have no reason to use Microsoft Paint in a professional capacity. In fact, I don't even use it in a personal capacity, except to dabble with it from time to time, just to see if core functionalities are still intact. And I'm happy to say that I think Microsoft Paint still offers the same accessibility and inviting experience that it did to me a couple of decades ago, even though its UX has been refreshed and it's been integrated with Copilot features. Interestingly, things could have been a lot different, had Microsoft had its way. Microsoft Paint was marked for deprecation with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update in 2017, and even began displaying a product retirement alert, urging customers to shift to Paint 3D instead. Fortunately, after consumer backlash, Microsoft reversed course on this decision, and Paint continues to be a native app inside Windows installations that can also be updated quite frequently through the Microsoft Store. Instead, Paint 3D ended up on the chopping block, which is for the better, I think. I have intermittently played around with Microsoft's refreshed Paint experience in the past few years, and I do think it has received worthwhile upgrades. the UI and the UX has been modernized while retaining core functionality, and the app is still fairly easy to use. It doesn't meet any of my use-cases, but I've never really had any use-cases ever, as described previously. Of course, the elephant in the room is the Copilot integration. Personally, I believe that this is one place where Copilot does make sense, environmental concerns aside. I know that a lot of creatives use AI to generate images, and while some may be using professional alternatives, Paint still offers a decent casual experience, with the power of Copilot. Of course, you do need to have a valid Microsoft 365 Copilot license and available credits to use it, but even if you don't, you still get the big Copilot button in the toolbar, unfortunately. All in all, I am glad that Microsoft Paint continues to be a native feature in Windows 11, and a piece of software that has evolved to meet modern needs without cutting off its own roots. It's just an iconic piece of Windows history that was an essential part of my childhood, and while I don't use it anymore, I'm just glad it is still there.
