Bad Company 2 better than MW2? Two minutes pure gameplay

[Harbringer]

I now use it more then the knife when im engie, its quicker, and its instakill.

 

[Maniacal]

Well, powerful after the instant kill and extremely high damage (explosives) weapons.

 

[Harbringer]

Well ya but im talking in terms of melee wepons heres.

I think we are going a bit off topic here... the thread asks the question if BFBC 2 is better then COD MW 2 gameplay wise.

So people who have played the game, is that true???

 

[Maniacal]

Yes, people are actually encouraged and REWARDED to work together.

 

[Esckey]

They often don't work together, but it is encouraged.

Atamta(sp?) Desert is the single dumbest map in the game. I leave as soon as it comes up, it is just pointless to play if you aren't in the pilot or gunners seat of a helicopter

 

[Maniacal]

Then you're doing it wrong.

As for people working together, ti sadly isn't much better than any other FPS, except people heal and give ammo much more often if only because that nets you a crapload of points. If you get some friends and/or clanmates together though, you will rape. When playing with my clanmates we rarely don't get best squad.

Its apples and oranges.

 

[Maniacal]

I love both fruits.

A lot more so than either game though (and I like BC2 better than MW2).

 

[Darth_Pugwash]

I haven't played MW2 multi but I played quite a bit of MW1, for what it's worth I prefer Bad Company 2 over MW1.

 

[Esckey]

Just me or is the M1 and the SPAS not recording kills properly? I get the credit in game but if I check to see if I have a Bronze(or silver or gold) star it says I don't and that the next star is 25 kills......even though I killed people with it

 

[Maniacal]

The next star is 25 kills AWAY.

 

[Esckey]

I'm saying it is ALWAYS 25 kills away. If I get 24 kills it will say 25 kills, if I get 40 kills with the weapon I'll should get a star but I don't it'll say I need 25 kills

 

[Maniacal]

Upon checking, yes they are indeed broken for those two weapons.


Nobody uses the SPAS anyways.

So after being frustrated with shotgun snipers I tried it myself, apparently a slug has zero drop and is just as deadly as the M24 or equivalent rifle. This needs to be fixed fast I'm so sick of uber shotties.

 

[Maniacal]

I really don't see a difference between them and and say a rifle or any other high-damage weapon. Although it is very unrealistic. I've been seeing a few more people using them especially the NS 2000 but not that many and they have to hit dead on, only have 4 shots before having to reload and its a pump action gun. Plenty of time to shoot them and/or knife them (hopefully).

Using the extended shotgun ammo capacity changes that and makes you a beast.

Big patch incoming, LOTS of good fixes:
