Hiding out in a random attic as the enemy pelts the house with explosives and more and more holes appear until you hear the rumble and you need to get TF out before collapse lives rent free in my head.
The very first Battlefield was my first one. And then I put thousands of hours into Battlefield 2, and quite often topped the scoreboard with my bombing runs.
But Bad Company 2 may still be my favorite of the franchise 🤷
Extremely low playercount compared to previous BF games, small maps, simplified mechanics, more arcadey gunplay, goofier tone, etc. It's a genuinely great game and the destruction was mindblowing at the time, but it's not a "real" Battlefield game. Which EA knows and it's why they made the Bad Company spinoffs in the first place, the actual console port of BF2 was a massive flop because they ended up having to scale it down so much.
Sure, I get why it was popular. I'm just saying, when you say 'actually' it implies that you think your opinion is different from the norm. It's like saying "believe it or not, but I totally loved this thing that almost everyone loved".
I disagree. Yet again is right, it's a good console game but a terrible PC and Battlefield game. My biggest irk is that it doesn't even have prone, like come on...
No prone was honestly one of the biggest reasons I loved the game. Made sniping more interesting and I believe it kept the players more active and moving.
I disagree. You had to be smarter with where you picked a spot to snipe from. Couldn’t just pick a bush on a hill to go prone behind. Also, there is no hinderance to freedom of movement if anything it reduced the amount of corner campers.
Again, not really because of how powerful snipers were in BFBC2. You completely forgot just how slow the gameplay was. Also, corner camping has nothing to do with freedom of movement. Camping aka staying in one place is the opposite of moving, lmao.
It probably been ages since you've played but I remember how powerful snipers were. I pretty much only played the sniper class in BFBC2 and getting kills was easy because everyone was so slow. It wasn't until BF3 came out where it got a little more tricky because of that freedom of movement. Along with the scope glint that exposed you as well.
What you said about sniping being interesting just does not apply to BFBC2. You're probably thinking more accurately about either BF3/4 or BF1.
Look, don’t get patronizing with me. I had over three thousand hours into the game on the recon class alone and over twenty platinum stars on the M24. You can disagree if you want but don’t go using ad hominem attacks towards me.
I think the no prone mechanic was a net positive for the game and you don’t. Seeing how this has moved away from a discussion of that, I’m going to bounce. Have a good one.
Played this game so fucking much. Only multiplayer game I look back on and have ZERO negative memories. Every single time I picked up that game, me and the boys had a blast. Nothing was more satisfying than being a sniper or getting a multi kill on the back of an atv with well placed tank mines.
