Why was this game sofun
>>338154113
Nostalgia
>>338154113
Godlike maps
Great weapons
Every vehicle was different
Great campaign without try hard shit
It was the last Battlefield with a bit of weight to it.
With 3 they completely caved in and just made it control like CoD.
>>338154113
GOAT sound design
Bad Company 2 began the downfall of the series. This is the game where all of the CODbabbies began to migrate. This is why you are only going to get posts of praise around here.
>>338154489
But it's nothing like CoD. BF3 is CoD all over
>>338154245
>Nostalgia
It's only six years old.
It took the cod formular and perfected it.
>>338154113
Damn shame I never got to play the Vietnam dlc
One of the few DLCs I missed out on because started playing like a year before bf3 came out. Feels so bad man.
>>338154113
solid weapons and hit detection.
>>338154489
That's totally true. I was playing a lot of MW2 and BO when I switched to BC2 the reason being that CoD was very boring at that point for me.

>It Aint Me starts playing
How active is it on PC?

The Maps were based around rush mode

Oh this dude
I remember trying out the multiplayer demo and getting the most satisfying headshot that I've ever gotten in a game. >This dude was running down the hill on Port Valdez
> I'm tracking home for about 4 seconds
>take the shot
>hit him directly in the face
>the guy's body rag dolls in a way that makes him bend backwards from the impact
I still remember that damn shot and that must've been 6 years ago now.

Rush was amazing at times, such a good game mode, made the maps feel big and varied by cycling through 3 or 4 engagement points, each with different attacking/defending strats

>>338154113
Almost exclusively that maps can be creatively leveled.
Prove me wrong. Protip: you can't.
Also..16v16. 32v32 is a problem because it's like 25 dudes spawning on 5, which is obviously a bit ludicrous for a supposedly-tactical game.
..And jets / a bunch of vehicles don't provide great infantry gameplay. Games are still 1 person behind the keyboard, and unless the game has lots of communication, they bring up the pub teamplay skill requirements quite a bit, which is unnecessary.

>the game is shit, not because of gameplay, but because of the community
What a meme.
>>338154113
Because
>Weapons work well
>Classes don't entirely suck dick
>Maps are focused around a single mode and work well
>Vehicles don't suck dick
The biggest negative of the game is the serious tone they took with the single player campaign. For being a spin off of the series it was great. Then somehow EA/DICE ruined the series entirely.
>>338154113
Because it was your first Battlefield game.
>>338155130
you know you can play the DLC without buying it. Theres a few modded servers running on PC
>>338154113
>[muffled E1M1 playing in the distance]
>>338154113
The smaller maps lead to more tightly designed maps and the sound design is hands down incredible.
>>338154113
because you can grief the shit out of people with the attack choppers and completely dominate an entire server.
Is this even active on 360? Last time I played was when nam or onslaught came out.
>>338155130
PC servers usually run noon EST because they're German based, so you get to have some fun with Klaus.
>>338156495
Still good. Plenty of good servers, though quality of players is fairly low. I'm often top of the team by just going medic and reviving the little shits.
Vietnam is active only at certain times >>338161297
It felt very compact and on spot because it was designed as a console game
I played the Vietname expansion for the 1st time yesterday, it was super fun. Shame that most developers don't make content like that anymore.
>>338163542
What platform did you play on? Last time I checked the PC servers were empty.
>>338161041
There might be some people still playing it on there, it should defenitly get a boost whenever it's backwards compatable on the Xbone.
>>338155139
>BC2
>Hit detection
Lol, more lack thereof. Game had worse than BF4 launch netcode.
BC1 any good?
is this game still populated in eu? i really want to try it but i dont want to buy a dead game.
>>338163542
The Vietnam expansion was shit compared to the main game tbqh
>>338163851
BC1 was the best of Bad Company. No idea if anyone plays the multiplayer though. Wish they made a PC port.
>>338163694
It was PC, but there was this one modded server that let you play the expansion even if you didnt own it.
>>338154376
>and just made it control like CoD
And good controls is now a bad thing?
>>338157264
BC2 sniping is the best in the series from it onward. I couldn't into 3 or 4. Too much drop.
>>338164014
I can see why you would say that, but I'm having a blast with it so far.
"It ain't me" litteraly starts playing in the main menu.
>>338164029
I used to want a PC port of BC1 but then I realized that the multiplayer would be almost 1:1 same as the one we already have in BC2 so there's no point.
What happen to the witty jokes in the later BF games? BC1/2 were genuinely funny at times.
>it's a Heavy Metal 2000 tickets conquest server
>>338165351
>Heavy Metal
Why are half the servers this shit map?
For me it was the audio and being able to level entire buildings.
>Being pinned down by sniper in two story building
>Buddy distracts him while I sneak around behind the building
>Place C4 around entire first floor
>No more sniper
Between the blast visuals, and your ears ringing from the explosion, then regaining hearing to hear the building creaking and then collapsing in on itself. God damn I used to have so much fun with this game. I loved it
I miss bc2.
Best multiplayer i ever played. Arica harbor was god tier.
>>338159178
>you need at least 10 knife streak to get sexual favors
>>338154113
Rush game mode was perfect
>Battlefield
>literally the same as cod
>not playing superior arena shooters
Fuck off.
Loved the classes in the game. Medic was a blast and this was the only battlefield ive enjoyed playing every class.
Campaign was pretty fun, it may have taken a more serious note but still pretty good.
Vehicles werent to OP so it was way more balenced on the maps especially on rush.
Some of the best multiplayer maps ive played on a game.
Building destruction was fantastic.
DLC was basically another game and i still had a blast listening to it aint me while flying in choppers to battle.
God I have so many great memories playing this shit.
>>338154113
The maps were amazing. You could hold out at every point in rush rather than just one like BF4. Don't know why they brought back Metro and Gulf of Oman instead of some boss ass BC2 maps for BF4.
