all this hacking ? with MW2 and (possibly) Black Ops is making me turn away from COD and returning my to KZ2, hoping that Steam on Ps3 brings Left 4 dead with it, and possibly trying out Battlefield Bad Company 2.

I had no idea EA gave you all these free maps just for getting this game. and that Vietnam ? sounds cool too.

is it too late to get into this game?

no hater ? pls, i want an honest opinion from either console or pc owners on this game.

    E2s you have made the right choice in choosing bfbc2. Im sure in time you will see it highly superior to cod. As far as it being to late not really. Most of the ps3 matches or filled. Before going online definitely go to single player mode and get a feel for the game. The heli controls on multiplayer are diffcult at first.

    But anything in specific you want to know about the game?

    There's a lot of camping...A LOT, puts COD to shame in that aspect and these maps are big as ? , so...yeah, lol.

    A lot of snipers, and a lot of vehicle warfare. Battling against tanks is annoying and frustrating at first but you'll learn to easily take care of them (considering if you have a good squad).

    If you know someone is camping in a building, you can blow that ? up (grenades, grenade launcher, rpg, tank, etc) and that takes care of the camper and their camp spot.

    Team work is essential. You might get away with a couple of kills going lone wolf, but it won't last, especially behind enemy lines; you'll get clapped quick, lol (unless you're playing noobs).

    Use your classes to your advantage. If your a medic, revive your teammates and throw med packs. Assault classes should provide ammo for team. Engineers should repair vehicles, and snipers can identify enemies through spot assist and motion sensors.

    It's completely different from cod, in some ways better imo. But funk pretty much said what I was going to say,
    there is alot of camping in this game(mainly chubacca snipers) and playing as a team is a must in this.
    That run and gun ? wont work in bfbc2.

    How so?

    Because when I hear "destructible environments", I think of that Crysis ? where you can knock down little shacks but any actual building is as indestructible.

    most of the buildings can be destroyed, but certain ones cannot(normally the big ass buildings). Haven't played it in 3 months,
    so I don't remember every little thing from it. Might go ahead and cop the vietnam expansion though, ? looks ill.

    Construction buildings cant be toppled and buldings with steel (more like titanium) frames cant be knocked down...

    Def like it more the Black Ops. Guns are better levels are better. Snipers get annoying but its not too bad. I would look for a cheap copy on Ebay but its def worth the purchase.

    lol vehicles are so easy and fun to take out, I usually sneak behind tanks and just throw 2 C4 charges on them



    And if you got a good squad you can come up with some creative ways to do the objective.

    Sometimes I pilot the chopper around the enemy base and just let my squadmates parachute down on top the M-Com lol

    Another one is someone in your squad gets the UAV and you can throw a bunch of C4 on it, then they fly it towards enemies and you can detonate the C4 when they get close lol

    I personally dont experience that much camping, snipers usually suck in this game


    Defenders are supposed to camp seeing how they are a such a disadvantage, the attackers can destroy buildings from a mile away just by calling mortar strikes over and over

    I think the reason people think there are campers is because they try to play it like its COD,

    if you try to run around all crazy in this game you gonna get spotted and then picked off by somebody

    No, I think there are campers because there ARE campers, lol and I don't play this like COD either. They are easy to take out tho, I'm just saying. I'm getting on this ? now anyway, lol.

    Half truth. Good snipers camp way in the back of the base and play ? . On ? u can snipe someone in the leg and they're dead. It's awesome. If ur a good sniper u should be getting marksman headshot bonuses raning from 200-500 points. Second part is very true.

    It was a great ? game that i regret getting rid of.
    Realistic Bullet Drop?
    Only thing i disliked is the fact that they cheaped out and used the xm8 for each class. was not happy about that as we refused their contract after too many flaws with the weapon.
    But i'm gonna wait for the third one.

    Cheaped out? Explain.

    yea it wouldnt make sense to be able to change the XM8 type on the fly in 1 class.

    It had to be in separate classes for it to be balanced
