For some reason Vietnam servers can sometimes show up in the server browser. I end up playing Vietnam about once or twice a week because of it.
Good shit and I don't have to pay a cent.

>>322980636
I saw it too. Played Hill 187 for hours, it's even better made than vanilla BC2

Yo, thanks brah

>Why is this game so much fun, anons?
Actual building destruction can result in the map looking completely different, and I find this a very cinematic and fun game to immerse yourself in

>you're the only one using smoke on Rush

>>322982234
Smoke is stupidly useful in rush. I've gotten so many defuses in plain sight because of smoke.

>>322982819
It's fucking crazy how little smoke is used in Rush. I even like using it in Conquest when I'm feeling lazy

>sit back in spawn with ammo container
>spam whole map with smoke
>spam popular sniping spots with smoke

>>322983494
I fucking love you. Thank you.

The gameplay of BC2 was something incredible, the later editions while not bad games, have not replicated the fun of bc2. Devs have admitted not understanding why its good and they don't perceive it as a good battlefield game.

>>322976681
bfbc2 was GOAT

>>322983690
Thanks anon

I should make an account named "yes I vape" and try to hit people with smoke canisters in hardcore

Do buildings ever fully collapse in BF3/4?

I'm trying to imagine the Back to Karkand maps and I don't remember anything other than the walls being destructible

>>322984114
Destruction still exists but the majority of it no longer plays into actual gameplay within the map. Its mostly an aesthetic now

>>322984275
That's too bad

>c4'ing the supports and tank sniping buildings to get that last MCOM

>>322984373
Ah yes, no more damage to mcom's, plants only

>>322984275
The fact they always put one of the mcom stations under a destructible building was nice. It made attacking feel possible even against the most aggressive defense.

The most fun FPS I've ever played. 700 hours clocked.

The lack of a prone also killed off team-wide camping. Even with snipers you'd never find more than 1 or 2 pitching a tent

>>322984114
For BF4 depends on the map. Urban maps get minor destruction like walls and windows while the open maps get a similar level to BC2 or even more in some cases because of the terrain deformation that they could get to work in BF3.

>>322977929
I disagree, most of the guns in 3 and 4 feel like slight variations of the same 3 archetypes. every gun in bc2 feels like it has it's own unique play style and purpose.

>>322983854
This. Dice doesn't get it because they think that as long as they keep adding content that's all people want. In reality it's quality that matters. BC2 has many flaws, but the game is fun and while the weapon and map variety is no where near as big as 3 or 4, every weapon feels like it has a use, and almost all the maps are well designed.

>>322986530
The fact that the USAS and SAIGA are the same but feel like polar opposites is pretty nice.

>>322985290
Actually I would say the lack of prone is what let it be the best. Prone just adds too many negatives in a game like that

>>322986807
Yeah it was the same with the spas12, 870, and Neostead. So i guess i should take that bit back. That said i bet if you asked people today, you would still have people claim one is better then the others.

>Why is this game so much fun, anons?
It's not, you're full of shit. It's like CoD4 with a bunch of retarded shit thrown in. The huge maps are fucking disgusting.

>>322988058
They don't even play the same.

>>322991341
That's why BC2 is shit. The movement feels terrible too btw.

>>322991463
Aight, there we go, thanks for the bump.

But yeah, White Pass is probably my favorite map. I remember playing the beta and buying the game day 1.

it has some of the best sound design of any game around. and unless you used a real home theater surround sound you wouldnt understand

>hearing the echos of soldiers yelling in the distance on a quiet snowy night
>being able to identify every gun just by sound
>rattling windows from the napalm sound on hill 137 1st stage rush

it sucks that basically all of the servers left on pc are just 24/7 faggot map and 100,000,000 ticket fuckfests. the game was fucking amazing on the 360 but with no server browser it is painful to find a game worth playing now

>>322991602
The more I bump the thread the more BC2 shitters can read my posts, so it's OK. I guess camping in a building in some far off corner of the map with a sniper rifle is enjoyable for people with shit reflexes.

I don't really know what huge point you're trying to get across. People have different play styles and the game accommodates for it? What a shame?

>>322976681
Me and a buddy of mine used to play the fuck out of this. We were pretty good at it too. Good times. Played 3 a bit as well. Can't quite say why, but I never felt like it was nearly as fun. Never got into 4 at all.

>>322991946
AT4 says hi.

>>322976681
Alright everyone. Let's hear your favorite guns:

>AN-94

>>322992479
USAS was made for assholes like me

I've still got the retail disk version and vietnam. God I love that game

>>322992479
MG3 with Magnum and red dot on Hardcore

>>322992479
either the an-94 or the g3 iron sights.

NEVER magnum ammo, always both slots for class specific kits.

>>322992250
>People have different play styles and the game accommodates for it? What a shame?
Do all play styles create an equally enjoyable multiplayer experience? Of course not.

Do you have more fun when 3 guys are peaking you from 3 close/mid range and you're snapping to each one as you isolate angles, or when you're getting tagged by a sniper in a building far, far away, forcing you to take cover behind a rock and wait for a teammate to take them out?

>>322991946
Not in Vietnam. Fucking helicopters in that were Fucking death traps

>>322992698
>or when you're getting tagged by a sniper in a building far, far away, forcing you to take cover behind a rock and wait for a teammate to take them out?

Or moving between buildings to different objective points using smoke grenades to cover up sniper spots and my advance?

Is your entire hate towards BC2 based on hating snipers and campers?

>Wait for a teammate to take them out
kek

>>322992479
I always liked the M60 lmg. Thing was stupid accurate. Wasn't it like broken or something for awhile and would seemingly grow more accurate the longer you held the trigger down?

I have around 1000 hours into it...

>>322992698

M1 Garand, 1911 for close combat

>>322992865
>Or moving between buildings to different objective points using smoke grenades to cover up sniper spots and my advance?
Sit there in the building waiting for your smokes to resupply so that you can cover the literal dozens of angles that snipers can pick you from. Yea, no.

>Is your entire hate towards BC2 based on hating snipers and campers?
No. Snipers are OK in games like CoD4 or CS. It's really the huge maps with multi-story buildings that make them an annoyance in BC2.

>>322993053
If he's not a dumbass he's not gonna let you pick him off with an AR.

>>322976681

Great maps, don't remember the others enough to say BC2 has the best, but they are great
Guns feel different and good
Shit is actually destructible

It's called moving you dingus.

Smoke the building and run to where you need to go

>Snipers are OK in games like CoD4 or CS
So games where snipers can't actually be snipers?

It sounds like you just have the wrong mindset for BC2 and it's not your kind of game. That doesn't make it bad you dingus

>>322993482

>>322993853
Multi implies more than 1.

>>322993137
>implying alot of them weren't

Tbh though alot of times I feel like I could take them out when they were probably scoped in on/looking for any number of my team mates, of course some were just bad and would miss shots. Furthermore a lot of those ass holes liked to go back to where they just got killed so you could just keep fucking them over. Cant count how many times I would get a sniper so flustered that he would literally switch classes to just try and get me

>>322993672
Its not even sniping its pointing and clicking.

Fuck and I LIKE Counter-Strike. But don't call that shit sniping.

>>322993941
Nothing like the newer ones with them literally on fucking skyscrapers.

>>322993941
Yes, I know, and if you're telling me that a two floor building is giving you a problem and giving a player advantage in Bad Company 2, I have to call bullshit.

>>322994072
I'm not the guy you were arguing with, I'm just calling you a retard for implying he's never played the game because you don't know that a building with a flight of stairs counts as "multi-story".

>>322993986
k.

>>322994072

In fact, if a sniper is in a building, they are an idiot. They are better hiding in vegetation.

I never said CS:GO wasn't fun. I said that you don't call what sniping is considered in that game sniping. Its not.

I like CS: GO. Its an arena shooter. It feels good. Its based on reflex and predictability.

But you don't snipe in that game. Stop pretending it is.
