A really old topic by now, but I'd like to hear what you all have to say about these two games. No fanboys please, I want legit comparisons, experiences, and non-biased opinions.
For me, I have both games for the PS3, and I prefer Modern Warfare 2. I got it the day it came out, and I still play it and have tons of fun. I have only met 2 people boosting (whom I hunted down until they quit the match), and have never seen a glitcher/hacker (not sure why I'm hearing its a bug filled game everywhere). Lag has never been an issue either since I'm aways 3-4 bars, but even on 2 bars you only have a slight bullet lag. Even on a 1 bar, only bullet impact lags and your player doesn't warp all over the place.
Bad Company 2 I just got yesterday and played today. Beat the Singleplayer campaign (lots of fun), but I just can not play multiplayer. I joined 10 matches, 7 of which I had to leave due to the amount of lag, and the other three I still have some annoying player warping lag. Already a little bored of it, but I'll give it a chance until I finally find some non-lagging servers. I also noticed half the players in all matches are snipers sitting on hills on the edge of the map not playing the game type (MW2 has a little of this too though).
So, which do you prefer, and why?
-
I havent yet had the pleasure to play Bad Company 2. I would like to soon. I do have CODMW2 and enjoy that game a lot. In the previous COD games, I found the multiplayer gameplay to be very shallow and repetitive. But with the new features that allow weapon upgrades and such, I find COD to be more enjoyable. I feel that it adds a new dimension to the multiplayer experience. Not to mention, I enjoy the Search and Destroy, and other teamwork oriented match setups, and those features COD have support this type of gameplay.
My major peeve about CODMW2 right now is the lack of player/clan owned servers. I miss those 32 player servers where you can find large clan vs clan matches. The other thing that sucks is when you attempt to join a game, you cant prevent yourself from stumbling upon some idiot who hacked the game and gave all the maps moon gravity and all the weapon unlocks, killstreaks, and callsigns. So the lack of player/clan based servers and hackers really screwed up the COD multiplayer experience, I think.

It happens. There's the sniper battle (look at your team, they do it too hehe), and the tank/chopper battle, and the ground battle. BC2 is really the game that suits everyone. I've always liked MW2's SP and that's all I played. My last favorite COD was 4. It was/is, IMO, the best FPS the franchise has put out to date. It was very balanced and didn't have all the extra crap for people to have an advantage (heartbeat sensors etc).
MW2 screwed themselves over for PC stuff when they didn't have dedi servers. The community I was previously with hosted 5-6 50 man servers in COD4...and they were always filled to the brim. I've never had so much fun playing an FPS than when I played it in those huge servers.
BC2 is just more realistic IMO. They nerfed the grenade launchers, it's a bit harder to snipe, hardcore servers fit the realism bill pretty good.
-
BF2 > MW2 > BC2.
BC2 > MW2 if you have friends that you want to game with.
-
I get annoyed with all the kill streaks in MW2 and the lag makes me want to throw my ps3 out a window. I find the commando perk to be a big joke along with the HB sensor. Pretty much haven't played since the last map pack came out and hadn't played for 3 months before that. I play BC2 on PC and have never had any lag like MW2 and really enjoy the hardcore rooms and game over all much more.
-
When compared to Cod4 days, MW2 really sucks.
For that reason, I prefer battlefield.
-
Well Ive played them both and I'm still playing BC2 and enjoying far more than MW2 or CoD4MW, the CoD series was great until it went to MW then it got real buggy and a hackfest, i mean its OK if your looking for a game that as soon as you spawn its a all out fire fight, bullets and nades flying every where oh yea don't forget the tube spammers, BC2 has at least some kind of goal and its great to get into a squad that likes to work together, in Conquest mode man its alot of fun, Rush mode you can get rolled if your team is not working together
I'm working on a fraps vid I'm doing on life as a wookie (recon) one part will be where i knifed a squad of snipers all crouched by each other 4 dogtags in 30 secs, killing someone with your combat knife just adds a certain touch :devil
its a fun fun game, even thou im finding my eyesight is not as good as it used to be :old:

Gotta say, Bad Company 2 all the way. Call of Duty fell apart when Medal of Honor brought Airborne, and CoD had... jack. So they went modern. Battlefield was new to me with BC2, but I was skeptical after all I had heard of the Battlefield series on here. So, direct points:
Modern Warfare: Haxxorz. This game is entirely unbalanced. There are one or two ub3r guns that the 12 year olds online are going to use 100% of the time, and they will be tough to beat simply because the weapon has little to no downside. You see a LOT of the classic skipping (Constantly jumping up and down to be hard to hit) while spraying like a little girl. Multiplayer weapon unlocks are based on single-player mission completion, which is a downside if you want to skip the single player and jump right into online play. This is very much a one-man game.
Bad Company 2: Buggy. This is the best balance I have ever seen in an online FPS. The M95 is a one-hit-kill monster, but the bullet drop makes it tough to use. The M16 is fast and powerful, but lacks accuracy at range. The MG3 has an AMAZING refire rate, but lacks stopping power. The AT4 is powerful and can be manually aimed, but cannot hone in on the tracking beacon. No individual weapon is the be-all and end-all here. Now, the 12 year olds still like to jump around, but that's what the Hellfires are for. And when some little whiner camps the spawn in a tank... sneak around and place a couple land mines (My favorite trick) and that tank is GONE. You have a damaged friendly tank? Bring an engineer to repair it. Team mates injured or dieing? The medic can heal them, or even bring them back to life. Out of ammo? Infantry has got your back! Now, the downside. There are quite a few bugs in this game. Certain spots you can "glitch" to. Also, a lot of solid hits go undetected. So, as far as the technical aspect, BFBC2 needs a lot of improvement. But due to the balanced gameplay, I will pick it 100% of the time over CoD.
-
I prefer MAG over both, but if you're the sort of person who wants eyecandy, realism, physics, etc., or who can't just accept a game as it is for what it is, it'll drive you bonkers.
It's not an easy game to get into, but once you get the hang of it and advance a few levels, you might never want to play 12v12 again.

Yup. COD4 is just downright duking it out. The only thing you can hide yourself with is a silencer. But even then if they have UAV it's moot.
-
MAG is about the worst game i have ever played. Between 12 yo that don't use the command perks at the right time and glitches that took them months to fix that were known about in the beta i figured it was best to just put the game away. Almost forgot the constant boredom of playing on the same map over and over and over and over.........
-
Serenity, Modern Warfare 2 you unlock the guns via prestige/online-rank/scoring points in multiplayer maps, the multiplayer online has absolutley no relation in score/stats/gear to the offline campaign. This is to prevent anyone from just walking into the fray with the best stuff on day 1, you actually have to work it up (and can choose to reset it once capped to gain a prestige rank, but then have to start over all again).
I've been grinding FFXIII on my xbox lately, it's a great break and change of pace from all the FPSs I've been playing.
-
I don't have either one but, I do have Battlefield 1943 for PSN and I like it other than some connection issues. If I were to chose betwwen BC2 and MW2 it would be BC2.
-
It sounds like all the people who are meeting hackers/glitchers in MW2 are either on PC or 360. PC has been very easy to hack now, unless the game has a great anti-hacker system, and the 360 I've seen is like Mod City.
A little change of subject here, what do you consider to be the most realistic shooter game you've played? For me I think it has to be Operation Flashpoint 2. The game fails horribly at multiplayer, but I've never had so much fun in a singleplayer campaign before!
-
I have played them both, MW2 needs real vehicles like tanks.
BC2 is a good game laggy but good... but only the demo. I'm gonna get the new MOH.
Real mans game is Just Cause 2 Incredible. Bad side is that there is no multiplayer.
-
Bad Company 2....best FPS game I have played since the original Rainbow6 game way back in the beginning.
Play multiplayer only now and find all the hardcore servers. I hate running up on one that says hardcore then you shoot a guy with a M-14 at 50 yards 10 times and he turns around and drops a 40mm grenade down your throat. So I have several favorites that I have saved like the OFAW (Old Farts at War clan) and Blackhats clan servers. Those are great BC2 hardcore servers.

i have both BFBC2 and MW2
MW2= hide in a room and wait (most of the time) MW2: downside of that is you can sit and do nothing all the time then someone will win the round for you
BFBC2= go out arm somthing or capture somthing and stand your ground BFBC2: down side of that is you will get someone who is a noob keep blowing them self up blows up there own M-COM and so in BFBC2 one or two NOOBS can lose the round for you...
me i like BFBC2 better just because you move around more blow bildings up and dont sit and camp (most of the time)
PS: battelfield 1943 is awesome to :aok
-
I've only played BF2, but I LOVE that game. Looking at MW2 descriptions and videos vs. those of BC2, IMO there's no competition. Sure, MW2 seems VERY fast-paced, but all the firefights appear to be over 0.2 seconds after they began. In BC2 it seems to be at least a second.
EDIT: Also, in MW2 there appears to be no teamwork, and little to no strategy. Just the ability to revive teammates, and the larger maps give BC2 (or even BF2) both teamwork and strategy.

Well, if you like to win, then yes, it can be a headache :D
It has spoiled me, though. I used to like BC1, but after playing MAG, I feel like I'm in a ghost town.

If you run around alone in BC2 like you can in MW2 you won't last very long. It requires teamwork for sure. Stick with the squad.

Another really good tactic if you can sneak it is to act as a behind the lines base. Sneak in the back of the enemy area and let your squad spawn off of you to cause havoc. :devil

Yep I have done that from time to time when the base we are defending in Rush gets overrun in a hurry and then me and a coupla dudes are like WTF man...Then I slip away and find some one elses 416 or a sniper rifle and start picking dweebs off when they go to hop into the Bradleys and stuff. Really pisses em off that way.

Yeah I remember OFP, great campaign and the multiplayer wasn't the best but was far but horrible, I remember it was one of the first FPS to allow you to creat your own multiplayer missions whith full scripting in the missions to make them unique (you could add effects that were lacking before, I remember I wrote a script for dust/vibration surrounding a tank that just fired a round and a bigger version for a vehicle blowing up) and just little things like that all over the place could make a multiplayer mission superior to what the out-of-box experience was. And the addons to allow you to add vehicles, units and whatever you wanted. It got outdated though, eventualy I updated my rig and it didn't support the game at all. Really sucked because I was a very active memeber in a tight-nit clan and was also an active mission maker and scripter... I think I had to abandon a gorgeous series of multiplayer co-op missions I was working on (I was on the 6th of my planned 8 in the series) it was a crushing time in many ways for me, lol.
They released last year a new OFP finaly, I tried the demo, wasn't very happy with the results of my time away from their unique control system and was a tad defeated to find no sign or trace of my old clan or any that I used ot be familiar with. I wish some of the higher-end mainstream FPS on the PC these days would do what OFP offered to the mission editors, scripters (of the fair and justified variety) and addon-makers. It made that game's lifetime exceed the compatability of new PC hardware.

IMO, MW2 is a more polished product than BC2 (PC platform). Dunno if the Xbox or PS3 version is any better.

MAG. Period
BC2, sucks, MW2, sucks, MAG, rocks.

Have you played MAG? I have all three games, MAG beats em' by a long shot.
-
bottom line:
MW2- most spectacular single player campaign i have ever seen, although multiplayer lacks realism (i mean, where is a Brazilian militia going to get an AC-130?) and i think the MW2 community sucks (it is mostly 12-yr.-olds who have no respect for anyone but themselves and mommy)
BFBC2- spectacular multiplayer expirience, bullet-drop, fully-destructable environments, and great sound effects makes me feel like i'm really in the heat of battle. single player expirience is lacking, but the addition of onslaught mode has proven to be great so far.
overall, i think BFBC2 is better because DICE knows how to respond to it's community

i have played MAG, it is a great game, i like how you can call in a C-130 to drop actual players entering the AO, but i still recomend BFBC2 for the reasons stated on my last post

BFBC2 WAS a great game, then it became Battlefield: Bush Wookies 2.

unfortunately, the MW2 community is starting to migrate to BFBC2 :furious
but, i enjoy the games where i dont encounter this, and overall, the BFBC2 community plays fair, something i rarely see. another reason i prefer BFBC2 is because there are no score boosters, no hackers, no cheats, DICE really designed the servers well....

True, I've been seeing more 12-year old morons running around screaming because of nothing.

one of these days they will realize that it is just a game..... that day is when they turn 18.... (IMHO)

BFBC2's new "optional" update is complete BS, if you ask me. 300mb of NOTHING for the 360, all it does is nerf everything! Hardcore has become normal, normal has become BFBC1. All it does is add the content for an expansion that costs 10$, a complete waste of space. It also seems all the D'bags from MW2 are switching over as well.
If it were me that was asked, I'd say I'm glad I kept MW2. BFBC2 has become elephant dung IMHO.
-
My clan operates hardcore servers under the name Dust-2-Dust
If they are found as " Dust 2 Dust" then when the servers are up and running they are in my favorites and are great to be on. I go by JRskipper on the BFBC2 servers.
-
big update for the game tomarrow, loooks like alot of the updates are to improve game play and bring some of the weapons back down to reality, i still play the game alot, if you play with 3 other guys with similar goals its a really fun game and when your squad advances fast or defends properly its really thrilling
-
The thing I love about BC2, it actually takes skill to snipe, unlike in COD when its a joke. I also love the large maps.
I love COD for the close combat, but hate snipers, noob tubers, oma, and commando.
I cant really pick what one I like better.
