    Nikko C. you are a complete idiot for even comparing MW2 and BC2.Different aims.How is BC2 a run and gun game when that's what MW2 is all about?Maybe if you tried learning the controls you enjoy it more but this absolutely beats MW2 in every way.Destruction is the way forward.

    Understand that this is more than a straight up shooter like Call of Duty. This game really is about using all of your resources to dominate the battlefield. If you're looking for an experience deeper than "walk around and shoot the first person I see (which is CoD"), then this is the best game there is.

This is a perfect 10/10, even with its flaws, realistic and balanced combat still proves exceptionally fun. Ignore the 'critics', there hypocritical and paid off. Everything there bashing this about, was praised for or completely ignored in mw2; and that's a simple fact. Call of Duty should begin to look for a casket, its death is near.… Expand

Everything about bfbc2 "multiplayer" is better than anything mw2 has to offer. EA has set the new standard of how a "multiplayer" game should be made.

    Rented and played MW2 before buying BF2. BF2 has better controls and squad play is done better than MW2. BF2 also has a nice variety of vehicles.Although the kill cam in MW2 is better than BF2's post death view of your killer. MW2 is a great game but BF2 trumps it in almost all categories.

    Fantastic. fantastic game. the online part is something close to perfection! great maps (very huge), lots of vehicles and destruction all over!

Single player is alright but their is a reason that the original bad company was the first Dice BF game with a single player campaign. Review sites always gave low scores if the game didn't have a single player campaign. BF 1942, BF Vietnam, BF 2, BF 1943 all multiplayer only. And those that think BF BC2 copied MW2 get with the program because BF is one of the oldest warfare games out their. BF 1942 came out in 2002 with 32 player MP Online with Huge maps and vehicles and class's. Call of Duty (First one) came out a year later and had no multiplayer. The same people that claim BC2 copied Mw2 are the same people that think the first multiplayer FPS game was BOND for the nintendo64 (Console Noobs).

    When I first played the BFBC2 beta that came out in November for the PS3 I wasn't that impressed because I was so into MW2 that just came out earlier that month.

The sense of teamwork is all there. If you don't work together you will lose. With MW2 it's all aimless killing to get killstreaks and almost every time you spawn in a small map you will die. And graphics are so much better in BFBC2. It's 720p native resolution is amazing. MW2 has a resolution that I have never heard of, 600p native! They did that to improve frames per second. They just upscale the resolution to 1080p which does nothing! Almost every game can upscale to 1080p and no game has 1080p native resolution until GT5 comes out. To add to BFBC2. DESTRUCTIBLE ENVIRONMENT!! It's just awesome. The guns are great too. The sound that the guns make in the game are actual sound that the guns make in real life and when jumping your gun jumps along with you. Gravity on the bullets is an upside and bullet detection is great too. Over all, BFBC2 is more of a PS3 game like Killzone 2 and MW2 is more of a XBOX 360 game. MW2 is more of an arcade game.

In Bad Company 2 when you shoot the wall it comes down "Eventually" actually the entire building you are in can fall on top of you if you stick around long enough. In Modern Warfare 2 although you can shoot through the walls, they are there to stay. In Battlefield Bad Company 2 you can use light armored vehicles like Humvees and quad bikes. In heavy vehicles you have the Abrams and T-90 Tanks. In the water you have a choice between water crafts or patrol boats. In the air you have my favorites the Apaches, Havocs and Hinds and yes Bad Company 2 also have UAVs which are way better then the UAVs from Modern Warfare 2. Now on to Modern Warfare 2's vehicles (only but the sound of crickets) whoever heard of a Modern Warfare without combat vehicles??? Okay moving on... Battlefield Bad Company 2 stages are 5 times to 10 times the size of Modern Warfare 2 combat zones. Okay in all fairness in Modern Warfare 2 you are on foot... the entire time... no vehicles... not even a dirt bike.... okay moving on again. Battlefield Bad Company 2 has night and day combat... Modern Warfare only has high noon shootouts... after that everyone takes a break for the rest of the day. Sniping (The Love of my life) My heart literally skips a beat when I take someone out at 200+ yards (especially when it's another sniper) There are no words that can describe the feeling you get when you watch that bullet down drift into the enemies head.

I literally don't have the space to talk about all the features that Battlefield Bad Company 2 has and what Modern Warfare 2 is lacking compared to Battlefield Bad Company 2 but the truth is that I like Modern Warfare 2 but I love Battlefield Bad Company 2, Battlefield Bad Company 3 is already on its way so buckle up folks :-)… Expand

It has great gadgets, cool kill streaks, amazingly deep customisable options, is fun & looks fantastic. BUT. Battlefield is like playing "war" in a small - medium sized office floor. THEN moving to the next floor, THEN the next floor and so on, until you either win convincingly or the defenders rip the glory right from under your noses. .

Unlike MW2, BFBC2 has kept the classes simple and easy to understand. This way you don't worry about perks or "skills" that a lot of people comment you on. I find that the rank system is better because i find that getting each rank is a massive challenge and you have a sense of achievement as you often get a decent unlock that you can use across all classes. This is unlike MW2 because when you often rank up you my get a gun that you will never use because you don't play that style of game. For example getting a sniper rifle when you hate sniping and rather be in CQB. I find that single player campaign has a much more of a story and a better sense and feel of the characters you are playing with. While playing the game i felt like that i was a real battlefield with almost every wall being destructible. BC2 has a better graphics is much better then MW2 and the sheer enjoyment i get for killing people by destroying walls is part of the game. I also like the bullet drop factor on the sniper rifles when shooting at distance (however should be implemented to assault rifles and pistols also.) unlike MW2 when shooting people who look like dots is as easy as shooting someone a point blank range, the only difference being they are a smaller target. BC could of expanded some of their maps as i feel that can be a bit too small. Overall i would recommend this game to everyone i know, unless you are a real COD fan that thinks using a GL is "Noobish" even though the REAL army use them. I would love to see them in the face of battle with nothing other then a GL to fight with, see how they take the situation then. Death or risk being called a noob.… Expand

    I recently got Map Pack 7 and I am back in love with the bullet drop, the destruction 2 engine, the dust and the loud boom and rumble, I think this game has lifted the bar for FPS, you can only speak to your squad, but if you see someone, you can highlight their position for your entire team. My only wish would be to allow the same kind of weapon upgrades allowable in COD, then they couldI recently got Map Pack 7 and I am back in love with the bullet drop, the destruction 2 engine, the dust and the loud boom and rumble, I think this game has lifted the bar for FPS, you can only speak to your squad, but if you see someone, you can highlight their position for your entire team.

    'Battlefield: Bad Company 2' comes armed with a heavy arsenal and some bad attitudes, and delivers another solid shooting experience that will please fans of the original, and dare I say it, the “COD” clan as well.
