badcompany 2 vs battlefield 3/4 ?
Bad Company 2 is actually a decent game while BF3 and 4 are garbage
>>267622234
why
>>267623156
BC2 is a very simple game on the surface. You have to sacrifice perks for weapon attachments and this leads to greater balance. It also has nearly complete destructible environment. The explosions were huge and fun to cause. And the game didn't take itself seriously, and this led to nice dialogue in the game. I also enjoy shooting the weapons in BC2 as they all feel fun and powerful in their own way.
>console shit vs console shit
>>267623156
SP is a joke in both games. BC2 wasn't good either, but far better than those.
The MP has better maps, a more natural destruction level than BF3 and 4.
Better gun handling, though it still have that stupid thing of getting hits registered after you go behind cover.
The only thing 3 and 4 have better than BC2 is going prone, I can't understand why you couldn't, and jets.
Do people still play the vietnam expansion? Shits rad
>>267623974
Imagine how bad of a wookie problem we would have had if you could prone
>>267623838
But all of them are on BC and battlefield originally got popular because of its PC release of BF2.
>>267624149
I wanted to get them vietnam expansion, but as a faggot who can't keep track of my backlog, I always forget. I hope there is people inwhen I get it.
I'm still not entirely sure why, but I much prefer BC2 to BF4. Maybe it has something to do with the gunplay.
>>267624732
The game isn't a sell out , rushed piece of shit which took a step back for the franchise is why you prefer it
BC2 all the way.
a big chunk of the buildings and vegetation in maps can be destroyed.
Carl Gustav was the best portable anti-air weapon, had the speed I needed to match my predictions when I shot down a Heli also I liked the challenge of hit-and-run against tanks given ya needed extra rockets to take it out vs RPG
The maps werent unnecessarily huge like in BF3 where at times some part of the map were never used to a big extent, maybe some in 64 players but other times not so much.
destruction on BF3 was drawn back and most of the map cant be destroyed.
Recon can't help much in taking out a tank, they can equip c4 in BF3, no mortar, not much help vs tanks
BC 1 sniping was the fucking best thing ever
>>267625658
cant* equip c4
>>267622158
Bad Company 2 was the last good Battlefield game.
I got better memories from BC2 than BF3
DICE admitted they dont know what was the ''IT' factor that made BC2 so grand.
AK-74u, Grach, Carl G. all day every day
'
Man me and my buddy had so much fun getting drunk then playing BC2 together. BC2 is for sure better, best battlefield game since 2.
>>267627078
>grach
>not 1911
But why?
BF3 because jets.
>>267628869
jets in bf3 are absolutely disgusting compared to bf2
I liked Bad Company 2, it was fun.
BF3 was fun, too. Spent a lot of time playing it. Expansions were fun.
BF4 is exactly the same but I still do not understand why it is such a boring game.
>>267628683
More bullets in the magazine, I wasnt a bad shot but in some cases I could shoot 2 guys with the same mag
>tfw I seem to be the only person that likes 3 better than BC2
that's not to say I didn't love BC2, I played the shit out of it and had really great times.
I've even tried to go back to BC2 after 3 came out but 3 is more balanced.
BC2 changed for the worse when most everyone transisitioned to 3. The only people left are people thst "main" helicopters for circle strafing. It's practically impossible to circle strafe in 3, and that's good.
>>267629443

>Engineer
>AS-VAL
>Tracer
>RPG
>Tagging helicopters every day
>Swatting down the flies like they were nothing
Those feels.
>tfw bf4 is actually playable thanks to the last patch
Of all the casualshit FPS games, BC2 is the best one.
>>267630163
Half of sounds still do not load. Most textures are lowres for the half of the match. The game loads for 3-5 minutes.
>32 players max
>Maps are literal corridors
>Rush is the main game mode
>No prone
>No jets
>Medic with infinite health and an LMG that doesn't even need to be deployed
>Engineer with a rocket designed specifically to kill infantry
>Assault with infinite 40mm grenades
BC2 didn't even pretend to be a Battlefield game.
>>267629853
Played the demo on PS3, hated it. And that's not even taking into account the skinner box psychology of the battle pack system.
I was tempted to buy BF4 for my brother, but I'm glad I didnt. As a matter of principle I don't buy Ea games anymore.
>>267630365
>having a toaster
I don't have any of those problems m8, tell your PC to git gud
BC2 was better because the individual soldier couldn't become as strong and people relied on teams instead. Atleast much more than BF3.
In BF3/BF4 you have all those powerhouse weapons with far higher DPS than others and far more attachments and upgrades that eliminate all disadvantages of those weapons.
Vehicles are even worse and become far too strong.
Look at how onesided the matches often become. They went way overboard with the unlockables and customization.
This is just the same shit that Call of Duty is doing. Any individual can destroy all others with killstreaks etc.
Ofcourse magnum ammo existed and it was fucking shit, but the game was still better because it was simpler, or rather ... more limited - thus you had to rely on actual skill instead of gimmicks.
The game wasn't fucking The Sims like BF3 and 4 and didn't bait people with with rpg shit gratification (unlocks) that much.
>>267628683
Grach is easily the best pistol in the game. 17 bullets, deadly accurate, potentially really high rate of fire if you're fast Abe pretty deadly too even more so with magnum ammo
>>267630436
Because it's not supposed to be,idiot
I like BC2 by far, still play it from time to time
I moved on to 4 simply because it gets tiring playing the same few maps over and over again, especially when I don't have friends to play it with anymore, but If say a map pack came out for bc2 I'd actually buy it
Which is another thing I hate about bf3/4, you get maybe 4-5 maps to play, and than 15-20 more you have to buy, not to count all the weapons and shit you can't have unless you buy
>tfw spas-12 w/slug ammo
>>267631217
Tfw you always miss with slugs even though you're always on point
>>267630948
I once ran the numbers for the expansions/DLC that BF2 had vs the post-release content for 3 and they come out roughly evenly. If you didn't think Armored Fury was a rip-off then neither are the 3/4 DLC.
>>267631298
Slugs were nerfed pretty hard iirc, before that happened you could snipe with shotguns.
I think the "x" factor that made BC2 feel so good is that the maps were much better at forcing engagements, so that even with the smaller player counts, the maps felt full, yet the engagements still felt focused, because you had a rough idea where the enemies were and where the fight was going to be, you could sort of make plans and take up defensive positions or make offensive maneuvers.
The problem with BF3 and BF4 with the the larger playercounts is that the maps either feel empty, or the combat zones are almost always utter fucking clusterfucks where you can get killed from any direction with people just spawning in or disembarking from any number of vehicles, and that's not really a good feel in a game that is supposed to more closely match the feeling of a team shooter and not a twitch shooter.
I suppose that might just be a criticism of rush vs. conquest, but even then it's fair because rush was the go-to mode in BC2 while conquest is the main mode for BF3 and BF4
>>267630746
mah nigga
>>267631830
To be fair though that exact criticism can be applied to the classic Battlefield games as well, that the maps were so big the matches would consist of playing control-point tag and isolated skirmishes instead of huge-feeling battles.
If anything 3 and 4 are an improvement in terms of making you feel like you're in a Michael Bay movie, as much as I loved 1942 and 2 half of my memories from those games involved driving to an empty enemy CP on a dune buggy or motorcycle or whatever, capping it with no enemies in sight and then zooming off to cap another point before the enemy players show up.

Oh absolutely, there's certainly something to be said about the absolute mayhem that can occur in any number of the 64 player BF games, and it's not impossible for a single player (or a coordinated squad) to turn the game around. I'm just trying to offer up a possible explanation as to why the Bad Company games, feel different than the ones in the main series, and I think a lot of that has to do with the slower pace engendered by the map design and game modes.
I think BC2 is generally more fun, but I liked the more serious tone of BF3 as the character models didn't look like cartoon caricatures. Vehicular combat was definitely more satisfying in BC2.
>>267632437
Sure.
But the argument here is that the slower pace and larger scale is an absolutely obligatory part of Battlefield since its what defined the series from the start. Smaller maps and faster gameplay is found in tons of other games, if you find Battlefield too spread out for your liking then look elsewhere.
>>267632608
>bc2 characters looked like cartoon caricatures
>look at OP pic
what are you talking about?
>>267624620
There won't be too many servers left, you should be able to find at least one playable server though. I played a few months ago and there were still a decent number up.
BF4 = BC2 > BF3
What is the best shotgun in BC2? I've only tried the 870 & Saiga, and they're both great (though I like the saiga slightly better).
>>267631830
And those afterbattle animations. Man, it's so simple, yet so endearing to see them. They never get old.
>>267632845
I like the 870 just because of how powerful each shot feels
>>267632217
Runs okay in my rig, and it's an average build.
OS?
I had 60fps everytime i played just today it fucks up and i don't know why.
Only in this game too.
>>267632674
I never said it wasn't to my liking, I'm just saying part of the reason BC2 feels different from the other games is precisely because it isn't as spread out as the other games, leading to more focused, consistent engagements while still within the framework of combined arms combat in relatively large maps. Of course that's not an across the board thing, as having the map pick where the fights are going to be robs players of the opportunity of making those tactical decisions.
>>267633343
BC2 is a spin-off plain and simple.
>>267633450
I'm really not sure what point you're trying to make with that statement.
>we will likely never see BC3 set in WW2
I'm sick to death of this modern warfare bullshit,time to go back to the classic
>>267633278
Actually not b8. BF4 is excellent now after the new patch. It's basically BF3 with a vast amount of improvements that make it, well, fun. Battlelog and Origin still bring it down though.
BC2 is fantastic, obviously. The only real flaw that I can think of is the inability to strafe while sprinting, so the movement basically locks itself. Oh well.
>>267633631
I'm saying it's not directly comparable to the main series because they weren't trying to make a main-series game
>>267633698
What did the patch change and is worth getting back into the game if I haven't played since January?
Where are you going to be when Hardline flops like a pancake?
is hardline the new BC?
>>267633698
>the inability to strafe while sprinting
i had to get used to this as well
>>267633724
I disagree. I think you're right, it was definitely trying to go in a different direction as the main series, but I don't believe that somehow makes it an apples to oranges comparison. If anything, it's quite a fertile ground for comparison, identify the relevant points of departure from the main game and determining how they impact the way the game plays.
Bad Company 2 was only ass because of no prone.
>>267624262
1942 and vietnam were popular also, 1942 mainly because of desert combat.
>>267633901
All the changes that made the CTE better than the actual game got implemented.

>>267634084
And Forgotten Hope.
>>267633698
so is the net code up to snuff yet, to me that is the biggest thing that holds BF back, even COD has better netcode (yes I know hitscans make detection easier)
>>267634158
>A class that relies on low profile shouldn't be low profile.
Are you daft? I admit that without that lenses reflection, I would hate the shit out of them, but using lmg and not going prone is also frustrating.
You don't balance removing stuff that worked in the first place.
>>267633901
Fixed up the movement system, shooting, added customizable HUD, and a slew of other changes.
Totally worth giving it another try.
>>267634495
Ok.
Next question. Are the DLC any good?
>>267634584
ehh...
They're not bad, but I wouldn't call them must-haves either. If you're a fan they're probably worth it, but I don't think you're missing anything with just the base game
Is BC2 ded? I reinstalled BF4 this morning thinking, why did I uninstall this, but holy shit is wobbly.
I miss bad company.
>>267634795

I don't feel like getting them if it happens the same thing that happened with BF3.
>Pay Premium
>All populated servers are Vanilla only.
>>267634916
Par for the course is one of the greatest maps of all time.
>>267634584
A lot of them are hit and miss, but overall they're pretty fun. Naval Strike and Dragon's Teeth are probably the best of the bunch, and Final Stand looks promising.
>>267634325
The netcode is much improved. I'll still have some occasional bullshit moments, but it isn't nearly as bad as it was a few months ago.
>>267624262
Wut. Battlefield has always been popular
>>267624262
Where were you in 2002?
I like both and spent many hours on both. I might be one of the only ones to say this but BF3 > BC2.
My reasoning for this is first, in OP's pic even, Medics shouldn't carry LMGs. Dumbest class choice I've ever seen. The cover is pretty dumb in this game too. Everything is usually lower or higher than you are when you stand or crouch. Someone mentioned before, no strafing while sprinting. That's very annoying. I didn't like bullet damage either. Felt like it took too many shots to get someone down. Too much snow/dust blowing around. Course that was replaced with the sun in BF3. I also like the sound design more in BF3. BC2's is good but it just feels weird after playing 3. Also, though BF3 had some crappy maps, it's better maps are better than BC2's, I feel. Both are good games though.
Bad Company 2 was a fun game, but it tried hard to copy call of duty modern warfare 2. The first bad company was like bf2 and bf2mc had a love child with destroy able buildings.

>git gud
>>267634475
The game was about being fast paced and action oriented. Recons can still play like snipers without laying prone in a bush 500 yards from an objective you know.
>>267637856
I find choppers similar in all the newer BF games
I love using choppers but for some reason my game lags more than usual with them so it's hard as fuck
>>267638372
I'm not at home now, but I have a doubt, is there a way to switch prone to toggle/hold?
I haven't played it in a month or so, and I forgot. I know there's a toggle hold for ADS, but is there for crouching?

It was a fundamental part of the BC2 experience, there's already way, way too many wookies camping, letting them go prone would just fuel the flames.
If you wanna camp like a bitch and add absolutely nothing substantial to the team (apart from the odd useful suppressing mortar strike) then play something else.

They are (or at least were) very different games. Battlefield was slower for sure.
They're both pretty fast paced now but I still give Battlefield the edge because vehicles are fun.
>>267633698

>>What makes this game fun

>>267646828
There was a guide to optimize BC2 on PC, you had to do it on a txt config file. I couldn't play it without it, I'd get dizzy with that shit FOV and retarded effects.
>>267646832
That's what I mean though. CoD only does one thing on tiny ass maps with a dozen people.
Meanwhile in battlefield, upwards of 64 people are fighting over large to huge maps with tanks, jeeps, jets, helicopters and the occasional boat.
And with recent additions, they've been leveling said maps to the ground in the process.
>>267633698
>BF3 with a vast amount of improvements that make it, well, fun.
So... can you toss C4 charges/tank mines like in BC2?
>>267646851
You can only be resurrected once, and you have to charge the Defib to revive at full health, so I guess it's bonked.

The butthurt you would cause was glorious.
This last patch for BF4 and the inclusion of classic mode has restored some of my faith in DICE. Classic mode should have been in the game since the beginning, and the fact that it took so long for them to fix so many of the issues is really shitty.
>>267647236
Classes being overly self sufficient discourages teamplay. That fact that everything could be destroyed sounds cool but led to some serious bullshit. Such as being able to sit back in a tank and just blowing up a house a mcom is in to destroy it. BF3/4 could definitely use more destruction, but I would prefer have less of it then losing rounds because of game mechanics that heavily tilted to one sides favor.

I miss this shit.
I miss how satisfying is was to take down a helicopter.
In bc2 they would spin while plummeting to the ground then explode in the air.
In BF3/4 they just explode instantly.This is talking about destroying them not heavily damaging.
I liked battlefield 3/4 more than BC2.
-Bigger maps
-More well rounded class options and weapons
-More options for vehicle loadouts leading to vastly different gameplay styles in them
-The maps are fun, unique, and stylish
-Commander
For the record I like BF4 too, in the above cases for class and vehicle options and flexibility. The new "classic" mode for BF4 is the best fun in battlefield i've had since BF2142.
The levels are hit and miss, every urban map in bf4 is garbage, whereas every map thats predominantly rural or lacking in buildings is always great.
>>267649439
>Strategy
Class sufficiency is the only requirement for decent play. If it discourages teamplay, that's made up for with the complete strategy supplied by leveling objects, and that one mechanic causes movement and juxtaposes the idea of structure min-maxing and decent cover - which raises the skill ceiling.
The default class also having healthpacks is junk.
The only based criticism, then, is that MCOMs being taken out by building collapses seems awful -- and it probably does, mostly. Though, teamplay wins -- even if the MCOM situation isn't just from the quite obsolete mobility.

The MCOMMs being destroyed by building destruction is the most frustrating part of BC2. On some maps, the attacking team literally does not have to leave their spawn for the first MCOMM set. They can just commandeer a tank and destroy the MCOMM/building around it.

Simple to take down with a SOFLAM + Javelin, one shot destroy.
Ask another squadmate to spam stinger missiles so my Javelin hit every time.

Not the guy you were responding to, but BF3 was trash. I played it for a while, made it to rank 60.
My SPM was 569, not OMGAMAZING, but not utter shit.
I thought BF3 was trash. It didn't have the spirit of BF. It felt more like CoD.
>>267652841
>He didn't play conquests
Literally the best gamemode and actually felt like BF
>>267652791
>Recon best class
Yes, motion sensor is invaluable.
>Harvest day best map
That's not Oasis
>>267652783
SOFLAM and all that shit is so annoying. Even just the sounds.
Quit the game, though, because medic trains are broken, and recon not getting motion mines or balanced backups without playing campaign

you just have to learn the maps and where to position and all of a sudden it doesn't feel so slow anymore when u aren't running around the huge ass map finding people to shoot
>>267650509
Having the class that specializes in infantry killing and mobility being to able to refill it's own ammo at any time causes the only hindrance to it be health, which you can counteract with more skill then your opponents or numbers. That sounds fine expect for the fact that health would come back and the class synergy was tipped in Assault's favor. BF3 fixed that by changing classes roles to better reflect how the classes moved and played ingame or changing how certain weapons worked to force certain roles and better class synergy.
>>267653205
Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the motion sensor which is just OP
Oasis is where I go shotgun but I prefer the bigger mix of urban and open warfare of harvest day
Stats
>>267653232
Soflam was amazing as fuck.
I remember my mate getting the Tank perk for SOFLAM that gave the tank 3 slots instead of 2. Camped in a tank on the top of the hill with a guided shell and just laser destroyed everything.
>Oh no I have to play the campaign to get some drops.
Let me guess you're a COD baby and you prefer to just go on multiplayer and have everything handed to you.
What a casual
>>267653512
>medic trains
Idea invalidated. A lot of the mechanics are broken, like 32 squad-spawning on 8; but assault can't then drive tanks effectively or have motion balls or real range. >Balance
>>267653638
>Here are some objective annoyances
>>It's amazing!
Post disregarded as saying nothing.
>>267642254
Camping wookies can be helpful if, AND ONLY IF, they do nothing but spot and drop mortar strikes. That isn't to say mobile wookie with Shotgun + Motion Sensor isn't better, but at least we can all agree that snipers are fucking useless cunts.
>>267653586
recon+USAS+extended mags+fast running is THE lodaout for me.
It's great combination, as you can see on this gameplay footage:

Also, 32 slots is a lot less chance for random spawnjunk. 64 requires decent map design, which the games don't supply (or decent spawn mechanisms)
>>267654374
>BC2 wins best game just for having balanced slot count
It's true.
Bad company 2 had great Rush mode, but most of the conquest maps were flat out shitty. At least in Conquest BF4 does a far better job, although there are still turboshit conquest maps like Metro and Locker, plus overall quality of Rush is far worse.
Destruction was fucking amazing in BC and really lacks in BF3-4 too.
>>267622234
Agreed. I hit over 300 hours in BFBC2 with my bros, but we couldn't stand BF3 for more than 20 hours... and none of us picked up 4.
>>267635472
Fuck me, you dont even like video games
>cod is fast
jesus christ
>>267654578
Metro and Locker should be erased from rotation. Explosives Spam, camping galore, so sick of them.
>>267630365
>>Half of sounds still do not load. Most textures are lowres for the half of the match.
Honestly sounds like a toaster issue. It takes my game 15 seconds to catch up with shit textures at the start of the map. People with better PCs that I play with have same thing but it only takes them like 5-10
>>267654893
>Metro
>Im so sick of it
Sounds like you need to git gud
>>267645369
No not mustard shill, i just like good games not shitty ports.
Is BF4 really that bad? I need something to play on PS4

Oh god. Oh my fucking god.
Most populated servers are running this abomination.
Why? Whyyyy?I heard that they ported it to BF4. Another quality decision.
>>267655170
Metro was an original map in BF3 m8.
What the fuck are you on about.
>>267633981
Hardline is the new mod for BF4, for only 60 dollars.
Don't you like paid mods anon?
>>267655251
>as if there isn't another game
>even asking about this
Still playing BC2 over these games, though
>>267622158
Bad company 2 was pretty damn fun.
Early BF3 was fun in a more serious way. I was trying to more tactical and serious to win, whereas bad company 2 was just good however I played it.
Late BF3 was a joke though. Fucking hated it. It kinda changed in the same way EA started to change from being decent to starting to publish loads of shit.
BF4 I never played but it looked like late BF3 but worse.Bf 1942/1943 is where it's at
>>267654256
Yeah it's great on maps like that. Two other maps I like are African Harbor and Laguna Presa. The latter can turn into an one-sided stomp, but usually it's a constant circle-capturing of flags and good squad movements. Too bad I never find servers still regularly hosting it
I've played BC2 and BF3 with DLCs.
Honestly, it's all about plying with bros via voice chat. With that it didn't really matter which installment I've played.
Come about it however, I think both of these installments got its own valors to consider. At the beginning in BF3 I favored BC2, but I've got used to it. Number of the DLCs did present number of concepts which on regular cycle did make a great experience (close quarters mixed with big ass armored warfare).
However I did not play BF4. Is it good? I forgot about bros with which I was playing it on regular basis. I wonder if they are still playing it...
>>267654095
Oh I agree that medics are still to strong and would personally prefer if they were split off into a 5 class using PDWs or carbines. But giving healing and rezzing ablities to the class best suited to run around on the front lines works better then giving it a class that uses weapons designed for entrenched useage.
>>267654374
A lot of shitty spawn stuff is just the result of DICE not bothering to add line of sight breaks in front of spawn areas or checking enemy proximity when players are about to spawn. You know BF3/4 have 32 and 48 player servers, with scaled down conquest maps to fit the player count right?
BC2 was so fucking shit and basic.
>>267651210
I've never understood peoples complaints about sidearms in bf3/4 every time my mag is empty or I need a backup for CQB when I have a DMR as my primary its never been a bad experience.
>>267655508
>implying medics everywhere and as the forward class is OK
Trenches at least are about strategy and movement
Options doesn't detract from the idea that 64 is overfilled; and strategy there is without design
>>267655170
I admit I didn't play them yet, and I hope so, because, it's boring the explosives spam Metro used to be in BF3, whichever side you're on.
>>267655028
>git gud.
Metro is the prime example of gittin' gud makes no difference, I spent a round on the winning side sitting in a corner, doing nothing and saw my team obliberate the enemy defending only B.
I like Metro in Rush though.
>>267655948
>playing anything besides rush
>>267656102
Conquest is glorious, i don't know what are you talking about.
Besides, there are 1 server of Rush per 4 of Conquest big. Can't precisely choose.
>>267632792
That Vietnam add-on was the best DLC I've ever paid for
(actually it's the only one)
>>267625658
>Carl Gustav was the best portable anti-air weapon
That would be the AT4.
>>267655784
How are medics supposed to keep a team healed and revived if they aren't at the front? They need to be mobile to function well as a class. 64 players being too many depends entirely on the map, game mode, and how they were designed.
>>267656338
Oh I'm on 360 for BFBC2. Conquest is so boring compared to Rush. Rush is where it's at.
>tfw you get the bomb with 5 lives left
>>267648110
>HE'S CHEATING HE KILLED ME ACROSS THE MAP WITH A SHOTGUN
every time
>>267656412
IMHO Vietnam DLC has really bad maps. Lack of cover and limited destruction compared to vanilia ones. Overall the whole DLC feels like it was created by the team which was behind MoH.
>>267652991
I played mostly conquest.
It still didn't feel right. The game felt like an empty shell that had its soul ripped out.
>>267656505
Healing is support; if the standardized class that pushes also has heals, it's trash meta
>>267656412
Getting my ass lit up by NVA only to have a tank roll by and clear them out, all while blasting beach tunes is something of a surreal experience.
>>267655206
Why? It's linear. Children and casuals love FPS games that don't require much effort or thought.
>>267650509
>>267652085
It was also one of the most beneficial parts of BC2.
Indestructible MCOMs are creating some really wacky balance. Now everyone is forced into desperate super close range encounters on top of mcom and the team that has more machineguns and grenades can just lock down the whole place. (which usually happens to be a defending team since they have to run less)
A lot of Rush games basically play out like Metro/Locker right now - if you got the right position and got into the spot first, you are wining by spamming. Way too often i seen either of the teams making it past the first set of points and the map never advances.
DICE really should have considered some alternative ways to take out MCOMs to fix the balance.
Also, I personally that on maps like Arica the combat during first stages provide a nice, different experience and mixed things up.
>>267633961
Playing Splatoon.
>>267649439
Did they actually fix the netcode like they claim?
BFBC2 was so fucking boring online. It was just infantry only there was hardly any vehicle combat which BF is known for. BF3 got it right with the vehicle combat and infantry combat.
>>267622158
didnt we have this same thread yesterday, with the exact same picture
>>267647236
didnt you post this exact same thing in the last thread
>>267652085
If you're in an area that's off limits to the enemy and you damage an mcom, you immediately suicide.
Bam fixed your broken game.
>>267657339
actually people seem to be posting the exact same pictures too
is this a thread simulation?

Oh yeah, BC2 is absolutely for Rush.
I meant Metro (BF3) In conquest sucks.
And it's BF3 that I play in conquest Big.
BC2 it's all about Rush.

Battlefield Vietnam > Battlefield 2 > Rest
>>267658186
Nothing like going Rambo with the M60 and an AT4 in Flaming Dart.
do people still play battlefield 2 on pc?
was thinking about reinstalling if anyone was still on
>>267658616
Last time I checked, yes. They also keep spamming spot messages.
>>267658616
There's project Reality for one thing, but BF2 is officially over I think. Gamespy no longer gives any support, and I'm not sure there are custom servers.
>that one xbot friend who never played BF2 and keeps calling BFBC2 "battlefield 2"
>>267645646
Quake is kill
Op and arma are shit and riddled with kids respectively
Cs is kill after source.
Is Vietnam still alive on PS3?
>>267659372
I wish I knew, for one thing, 1943 is alive and kicking, so that one must also be alive.
Though I hardly know.
>>267651123
Take that shit back. Jets and big maps are awesome.
No other game does it that well in a similar manner.
I thought the infantry combat and guns felt a lot better in BC2. The maps were good too.
Fuck, BC3 when?
>>267656102
>rush
Console plebs like you is what are trying to ruin BF.
Proper BF is a big ass map with jets and tanks, infantry fight areas and the freedom to go capture whatever you want.
Not a clusterfuck concentrated on 2 spots.
>>267659476
Not sure, isn't 1943 free though? Don't know if it's still worth getting Vietnam for PS3 anymore
Am I the only one that's loving Classic mode to death on the new BF4 patch?
It made the game almost as good as BF2, if not better!
>>267658941
whats project reality?
>>267660765
What does that do?
>>267660637
It's not free, it's digital only.
I can't help you with Nam, but I'm also interested in knowing.
>>267660513
Shut your elitist shitposting asshole.
>tfw no qt 3.14 2142 titan mode
>>267660765
Combined with the other CTE changes it's amazing.
>>267660843
BF2 Mod, aimed for realism (duh) with better weaponry and 120 players.
But if you don't find joy in 5 minutes of anticipation before 1 minute top of shooting, then it may not be your cup of tea.
Good thing is, it doesn't overwrite anything in Vanilla game, so you can have both with no issues.
>>267660513
>Proper BF is a big ass map with jets
never gave two shits about the planes, especially when their counter part, AA, was always weak and lackluster to give even the shitties of pilots a chance to survive
>>267624149
The Vietnam explosion is pretty badly balanced.
I mean, it's accurate, but pretty realistic in terms of maps giving huge advantages to one side.
>>267660862
No 3D spotting (that means no doritos, you can only see spots on the minimap)
Full mag reload (never got why they removed this from BF)
Friendly fire
Only squad leader spawn
No retarded 3P cam
No retarded killcam
No fucking auto-heal/auto-repair (never got why this Halo/COD shit was added either)
It's been glorious since this last patch!
>>267661475
is the netcode any better?
>>267661235
AA is very powerful now.
>>267661475
Never really got much problems with the netcode, but they say it's much improved, yes.
>>267661604
A fucking lot, trust me on that one.
