Battlefield: Bad Company 2 vs Modern Warfare 2 - Which single player campaign is the best

The Kartel has played both games now, and has a final verdict on which single player campaign mode is the best. The article goes into detail about the storyline, characters, and gameplay features for each game, without revealing major spoilers.

but Battlefield Bad Company 2 still owns MW2 in multiplayer action.

MW2 is fun but it has major issues & thats before you even get to the glitches cheats and mods.

One day left until release, BFBC2 has my vote.

[TheDudeAbides]

why even ask?

I would agree that the MW2 campaign is pretty awesome. IW always out does itself just when you think it can't set the bar any higher. But lets be honest. Campaign isn't what sells these games. I have no doubt that BC2 is a better overall experience when you include multiplayer into the mix. The demo alone was enough to make me realize that the overall quality far surpassed what MW2 offered.

i hated cod6 mp cause of no dedicated but the single player was bloody awesome you have to give them credit for it.

I loved battlefield and played dice games for a long time, loved the beta.

will have to play through the sp to judge which is best though. it will be hard to beat mw2's single player though it was quite good.

MW2: "puts an emphasis on individual achievement"

BBC2: "Game-play takes cues from Team Fortress 2" <==win imo

Midnight cannot come fast enough!

I actually thought MW2 campaign was really good just too short, BC 2 campaign looks awesome but Im just gonna play BC2 multiplayer alot more

I just hope Dice didn't abandon the free roam too much in favor of scripted events. I enjoyed finding new ways to attack objectives.

MW2 single player just felt tacked on. Too many characters bite the dust, before you finally feel a character. The story overall feels like
"this would be cool to add here" ... but its not.

havent played BFBC2 single-player , but i probably wont touch the SP for like a week after the adrenaline of playing BFBC2 online wears down enough for me to say "ok, i'll play the single player now"

[RELAX]

MW2 is the king, BFBC2 is beutiful awsome

Paranoid much?

[peeps]

i didn't care for bfbc's single player and don't really care for the second, although it is looking better than the first.

For me bf is all about mp and i really wouldn't have minded if there was no single player at all. the fact that there is is just a bonus imo

[jjesso1993]

I think you guys should try it your self i think you might think otherwise becuase i thought it was well better than mw2 it was longer lot more enjoyble.

[Lou-Cipher]

I hope its better than Modern Warfare 2's single player, because I thought MW2's Single player sucked big time.

[bjornbear]

now for the important comparison (and the reason why most people bought BOTH games):

Which of the two has the best multiplayer? ZING!!!

MW2 just gets buried alive...

[ImmortalLegend]

I don't even think these games can be compared as far as multiplayer goes. BFBC 2 requires a lot more teamwork overall and the gameplay is different with vehicles and stuff like that. Modern Warfare 2 is basically shoot 'em up. Yes, there are game modes that require a little more teamwork than others, but no where near as much as BFBC 2.

[AliTheBrit19]

I'm a fan of both games :) that seems to be a rare thing, most people who love one of them hate the other.

[aCHU]

for a game made famous by its multiplayer,it epically failed at achieving that same popularity and surprisingly succeded in the Single player department lol.. i personally loved (so far) the single player,intense and good acting/voice overs..

but the MP aspect of the game is FLAWED to the max,i mean HAZE wasnt even that bad for crying out loud lol.. i mean C'MON!

[kghapa]

I played an early build of BBC2 single campaign and wasnt impressed :/ I really hope it improved

[Scudd]

i've done 3 missions in BFBC2 and its sooooo much better than MW2, after you play through MW2 once there is very little reason to play again since some missions are complete crap but there are the odd good ones. Cant wait to play the multiplayer again.

[docsavage]

What you really have here is a comparison between MW2, BFBC2 and the original BFBC which kinds of slants the opinion negatively. To be fair, he should have left out his opinions of the previous BFBC altogether. In the end, we have justification of how MW2 "cinematic" moments are just too good. Article fail.

[IrieMars]

I really didn't like the first MW and BC, but I picked up MW2 and I loved it, I might have to check this game out. But I played the demo and it just looks unpolished...Hmmmm, I think I'll wait for this to be in the budget bin.

[almehdaaol]

I just love the team aspect of the Battlefield series compared to Call of Duty. Too much deathmatch oriented stuff in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 EVEN when the game mode is team-oriented. It's stupid.
