Little bit of a Controversial Subject - BC2 Options

[HYPOBOXER]

Right time to annoy the fanboys on here, but I have to say...BC2 is a bit crap!

I understand all the nostalgia associated with the old Battlefield 2 days but BC2 comes nowhere near. Its buggy, unbalanced, a massive system hog full of cheating bastards (how exactly does someone get to lvl33 in the few weeks its been available). The M60 is overpowered and far to accurate which means that everyone uses it. You ironsite someone from 4 feet away using the decent assualt rifles and constantly miss (and no its not a lag issue thats sorted), the knife should be removed as its about as consistant as sunshine in Scotland. And the maps are dull as fuck. At least the BF2 maps had some scale. There are no tactics involved. Run here, run here run here. Fuck all teamwork as well.

Oh yeah and where is the fun factor. It actually made me do something that I can proudly say I have never done before. Ragequit. Played with Fox, Magiks and the R6 lot last night and it was fuckin awful. Spawn, M60 death, spawn M60 death, spawn M60 death, knife death, M60 death. Theres absolutely no chance of leveling up characters like the medic at the moment because you cant stay alive long enough to actually get any points. And Im pretty sure opening fire on someone 10 feet away with a pkm should pretty much kill them straight away.

Ill keep playing it for now as there is bugger all else about. If they actually balance the game it might get interesting but as soon as something more interesting arrives its purely to kill time.

Thing I dont get is all the hate that most people here poured onto L4D2 for not being original enough, then they constantly spodge all over this when is just a consolised version of BF2. Wow you can blow up buildings which is great until everyone bitches about Rush games being screwed because of this exact issue. Take that gimmick away and you are left with an average game that brings absolutely nothing new to the table.

And its doing absolutely nothing for this clan except a small minority. Half cant even run it without a major upgrade. And those that are playing it dont seem to stay in games long enough as there is always some reason to complain and leave.

Phew that feels better.

I can easily see how people can get annoyed with this game, I'm very prone to it myself. The thing with relating it to bf2 (for me anyway) is that when I started playing bf2 it was out for 2 years already so many bugs had been fixed and patches released, with bc2 I'm having to see the game go through the initial stages of bugs which has been frustrating. I agree that the M60 is over powered and its something I do relate back to the bf2 days when people had the attitude of not using the g36e because it was way too good (like a silent gentlemen's agreement) and I even got ripped on for using the L85 to the end, but for people to then go and take the most powerful gun in the game and forget all the morals and opinions they're going against kind of fucks me off.

I'm sorry to hear that you aren't enjoying the game as much as the rest of us, even though it may not seem like we enjoy it a whole lot because of all the bitching and moaning we do but I think the game could be still great once they attend to a few issues.

I think the reason I hate l4d so much is just the elongated scripted maps which always end up being played the same way (i.e. ''smoker get there and pull them off that ledge............again'') and the fact that once you joined a game everyone felt everyone else was obligated to stay for the entire game because the loss of one person makes a difference. On bc2 I can think ''fuck it, I'll got straight to flag C and not flag B'' its much more dependent on how you play the game in deciding where you focus your attack or if you decide to defend, and I can leave without its making a huge difference to gameplay for either team.

p.s. I don't think the m16 is that overpowered, more people use the xm8 because it has the same damage and pretty much the same rate of fire but its full auto which people like more, so why don't people consider that overpowered?
