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.

the issue with bitching about the most powerful gun is that once it gets nerfed, people will start bitching about the 2nd most powerful gun, and then if that gets nerfed they will bitch about the 3rd, and then the 4th etc until the only honour thats left is not using any gun at all.

As for the bf2 vs bc2 weapons thing, ive said many times before that the bf2 unlocks offered no real advantage over the stock guns, whereas with bc2 you prettty much have to have an unlock to win any kinda of one on one hence the perspective changes.

as for the levels thing, im level 31 already....

L4d2 was just a longer more boring version of l4d where youd spend ages getting through a level to an event in which you would get systematically wiped out at the same point everytime (if not sooner). it wasnt fun, it more of a contest on who could withstand ragequtting the longest. I think i personally just got bored of the L4D franchise as playing it for well over a year just meant there was nothing new i could expect or want from it.
