Why players need to stop playing MW2 and start playing BC2

If you're a console gamer, chances are you're probably busy playing games that you have backlogged since this past November. If you are a fan of First Person Shooters, well then you're likely either playing Modern Warfare 2 or Battlefield: Bad Company 2, or both. Both games are very similar in design but when looking at their distinctions, one can see how Bad Company is truly the superior game.

[riderofpl4gues]

totally agree with youu bro

[Jedward-]

It just is.

[FragMnTagM]

These are very good reasons to play BFBC2 over the lame CODMW2.

[Hanif-876]

This is my favorite FPS and i gotta say that i was blown away :-)

[monkpunk1]

I love it but...... Why does it take 10 shots with a 50 cal heavy machine gun to put someone down and 2 shots from a sub machine gun? hmmm

Need decent squads forming, last night was the first time i ever had that.

[vhero]

Point 1 alone is THE number 1 reason.. Also reason 5 I quote "Bad Company 2 runs smooth on both consoles. And the leaderboards actually hold merit. Jump into a game of Modern Warfare 2 and you’ll see at least one glitcher/hacker using one of the many exploits that still ruin that game. And to think that Xbox 360 owners have to pay to play on-line! If I were a 360 owner, I would be furious that these people are ruining the entertainment that I have to pay for."

[RagTagBnd445]

PS3 version do not have superior graphics, try to play the game on pc, it only looks about 2-3 times better.

[UnwanteDreamz]

Shoot them in the head and it will only take 1. Lots of recoil with a HMG so you cant just hold that trigger down.

[Redlogic]

I played MW2 for about a week and got bored with it. Its a serious step down from MW1. Anyways, I have BFBC2 for the PS3 and if anyone has a mic and wants to squad up send me a PM.

[BattleAxe]

I agree, I got bored of MW2 after about 2 months and after getting 100% on the trophies. Definately a big step down from CoD4. The maps in MW2 were the biggest let down along with the heartbeat sensors. I really liked CoD: WaW though and I`m looking forward to seeing what Treyarch does next.

[badz149]

but because of how terrible MW2 is, BFBC2 still is blatantly better than MW2!

[unrealgamer58]

The sad thing is bfbc2's only a part of ea's ownage, Just wait till Medal of Honor comes out.

[TheMART]

Look at all the Modern Glitchfare 2 fans reporting this perfectly legit article bringing up great reasons why BC2 is better than MW2.

IT JUST IS!

[The Maxx]

I agree. I am LOVING battlefield 2. I just finished maxing out my assault character and the vehicle upgrades. The graphics look great in the game combined with the amazing detail of destruction that takes place. The game is just down right brilliant.

P.S. Damn Snipers. The game is riddled with them.

[GodFather87]

The game is pure fun.

[UnwanteDreamz]

When I don't have a squad to play with I make a game out of flanking snipers and giving them the knife.

[Hotel_Moscow]

the reason i think bc2 is better than mw2 is because bc 2 actually takes skill

all these fools on youtube with their zomng im amzing skills use claymores and stay in one location go prone every time they see some one coming

warp knifing even without commando you still get a sinifigant jump to the person youre knifing

marathon in a cod game should not exist because of size of maps the speed of your character should have depended on the ammounrt of equipment on yuore avatar

all of these things werent in cod4 where the only thing you had to worry about were people who actualy had enough skill to kill you

cod4 i had like 42 kils 3 deaths just from running around

you run around in mw2 you get sho by people camping for kill streaks

[mcnablejr]

Every game can require skill to some extent.. if one player is better than the other then that player must have more skill related to the game to be able to beat his oppenent. If a game did not require any skill then tournaments would never happen and the game simply wouldnt function.

Neither requires any more skill than the other, it just takes a different technique to excell in different games..

Edit: @ below... think about what i said.

[Hotel_Moscow]

oh so having to adjust youre sight for bullet trajectory doesnt take more skill

because in mw2 you take a shot its a deffinite hit the only gun that requires any kind of know hot is the f2k

believe me people think their good in mw2 when all they got is 5 kills cand just stayed quiet

because thats what i think i get a good sore then i think about it and most of the kills i got is when i stayed in one are with claymores restocking with scavenger

[solar]

the MW series has dumbed itself down to appeal to the masses, aka 7 year old kids on consoles. whereas BC2 has implemented things like bullet drop and a stress on teamwork.

[isa_scout]

I just hope that the call of duty seires dies off soon before activsion gives it the guitar hero syndrome. we all know they'll just milk the sh** out of it though. Bad Company 2 is superior in every way imaginable.

[Stationfan]

I would love to pick up BFBC 2 eventually, just one question are the servers for the first one still running. Because i heard EA are shutting down some of the old madden servers.

Hope this doesnt become a trend and they shut off servers as new BF games come out.

[riderofpl4gues]

i am not sure. I played BC1 and did not enjoy it. BC2 is much better then the first

[BattleAxe]

I loved BC1, and yes the servers are still going and I don`t think EA has any plans to shut those ones down. I saw the list of games that EA was going to shut down and BC1 wasn`t on it.

[happy_gilmore]

not because mw2 is not a camper's paradise, which mw2 is, but because squad respawn is cheap.

you win a fire fight against one enemy and then while you are reloading another dude magically pops up with full health and has you on his radar. of course, you get own. there's no skill in that.

kz2 had it right. you can only respawn through the squad leader.

[riderofpl4gues]

LAME

[kylebarreira]

this guy writes some serious good word stuff. serious good word stuff. IGN should hire him

[BeaArthur]

Number 5 alone would do it.

[NoPoint]

I thought we already knew this. Seriously how many BFBC2 is better then MW2 articles do we need.

[riderofpl4gues]

as many as we need for players to stop playing COD

[Ryuha1234h]

They both first person shooters. They both do the same thing. Run run run shoot shoot shoot boring boring boring.

[amullers]

Bad company has a beatiful gameplay very tactical but please the graphics are no very good yes a has good color and everything but the aliasing its anoying distant objects looks horribe It is possible to patch this for the ps3???? anyway gameplay overall much better tan mw2.

[Baka-akaB]

Well i think that anything is better than MW2 at this point , so it's doing a disservice to BC2 to constantly bring up MW's name .

[gamingisnotacrime]

Wow this article destroyed MW2 when compared to BC2. I have BC2, have not played MW2. is MW2 this awful?

BC2 is amazing btw

At below
well u make the MP sound like 100% garbage. that bad huh

[riderofpl4gues]

enjoy people in between walls, under the map, getting owned by a harrier jet every 5 seconds, and getting shotgunned across the map---then mw2 is great!

[BattleAxe]

In the 2 months playing the PS3 version of MW2 I had not even seen one of these glitches that are all over the internet. It seems to be a problem on the 360 though. So if you only own a 360 then I would stay away from it.

[riderofpl4gues]

his number 5 reasons is the best. they should refund 360's money this month. lol.

[Gamingisfornerds]

COD4 still owns all.

[riderofpl4gues]

do you think activision made IW mess up MW2 and make it all noob friendly for sales?

[Gamingisfornerds]

Not sure about it being more noob friendly (although I'd say it is), but the main issue I have with MW2, is that it seems to be designed to cater campers.

You get rewarded for camping, and not for playing offensive. When you play offensive in COD4, you don't get punished for it. In MW2, unfortunately, you do. that's my main problem.

And to clarify: camping does not equal 'tactics' and 'offensive' does not equal 'running around like an headless chicken'. People seem to imply this more often than not.

[FanboysWillHateMe]

it can be incredibly frustrating, because the huge maps are heaven for snipers. Look at those killcams and you'll see people hiding in bushes remaining absolutely still and just camping like that. I personally enjoy using the assault rifles, and it seriously kills the mood when you got people taking you out from a mile away.

I wish they had smaller sized maps where using assault rifles and shotguns would actually be more appropriate than resorting to sniper rifles.

I enjoyed Modern Warfare 2 because of the killstreaks, the variety of attachments, and just how fast-paced it was. And I enjoy Bad Company 2 for how realistic it sounds and feels like when I'm shooting a gun. I think the perfect multiplayer shooter for me would be BC2's shooting style mixed in with MW2's maps.

[riderofpl4gues]

snipers are meant to camp. snipers are LAME. wait until squad rush mode becomes availble. (its up for the ones who preordered from gamestop) squad rush is the rush gameplay mode except just 4v4. really small maps. and if you are facing 4 snipers, its game over for them. Squad rush mode will be open to the public very soon. then...its game time. ITG

[bjornbear]

unless im also sniping xD

just never stop moving, and know where to look

with time you see less and less snipers killing you

[UnwanteDreamz]

Flank them come from behind and knife them. These fools spend so much time looking down feild they never see it coming. I don't mind snipers in big maps like BFBC2 has because you can always get them back if you want.

Snipers are really the most vulnerable players in the game. Up close they have to switch to the side arm to even kill you.

[gamingisnotacrime]

Rush is my favorite mode

[jjesso1993]

Becuase its not glitch fest and full off rasits kids or kids that scream for not winning cod is for little kids that cant play grown up games like battlefiled that need skill.

[ATi_Elite]

Your Exactly right.

I played MW2 on the 360 once and it was the worst experience of my life. I swear i was running a day care for children of the KKK. So much whinning and Foul mouth 11 year olds from the suburbs using racist words and phrases.

I just wish i could grab them all and drop them off in south central L.A. or N.Y. for a day and say "here you go now say that to those Asians, Hispanics, Europeans, Blacks, and Jewish kids over there.

Xbox Live = worse online experience EVER!!

[bjornbear]

damn =P we know this

beating a dead horse like Kratos beat *******'s face xD

[ATi_Elite]

I totally agree except the part about the graphics.

I game on the PC and I have both and MW2 is the cute girl in the club or the mall you give your number to while BC2 is Beyonce or Megan Goode and you sit there and drool.

The destructive buildings is what makes this the best MMo shooter ever as I just love rendering Panama Harbor totally leveled.

The random trash talk after kills and the radio chatter make this an unbelievable experience. Nothing gets me more hyped than hearing a Pilot at the begging of a round say " inbound 3 2 1 Splash then half the map erupts in an explosion as you and your mates rush towards combat. "That was a direct hit" " tell dagger Merry Christmas"

DAM I Love Bad Company 2. Pow "take that Mother F*****"

[ImmortalLegend]

Personally, I play M.A.G. over MW2, but that's just me. I love playing without lag, dedicated servers ftw.

[ryano23277]

I've also chosen MAG over MW2.
After playing MAG, BFBC2 feels a little empty in conquest (A,B+C). Rush is a good mode - I haven't put as much time into BFBC2 as I would have liked to.

[JonnyBigBoss]

Great article. He covered all of my main points.

[Killman]

Isn't nearly everything???
