I don't know either, it was a downgrade compared to BF2 in literally every single way apart from destruction and visuals.

At least destruction was pretty good. The series basically ran out of ideas after that.

>>377905086
You are wrong.
BC1 was on consoles.
BC1 campaign was significantly worse in every aspect.
The recoil was great, sorry you're shit.

Are you mentally retarded? Where did I say that BC1 wasn't on consoles? How can you possibly find the boring shit that was BC2's campaign was good? I can't even remember what it was about, it was so bad. Meanwhile, BC1 was a bunch of rowdy, rogue soldiers going AWOL to get gold. Now that's memorable.

It handles too much like a console game, even on PC

Because it was the first one for many people, this is the undeniable truth. Besides maps and destruction (from a practical standpoint) it didn't do anything special. BF3 was better, BF4 was better, I'm not sure why DICE would want to make another BC2 considering BF3 and 4 sold like hotcakes and still have healthy playerbases.

Hey, that's a great life achievement man, you certainly are a real winner. Is that what you tell people when you meet them?

Because each class had a niche to fill, also the guns and maps were hella fun. In later battlefields the classes felt more able to stand on their own.

In BC2, there's very little recoil, requiring very little control of the gun. Most guns only have vertical recoil, so to mitigate this, you continuously tap m1 to maintain good accuracy.

>>377907309

Compare it to Console battlefields and it's a good, logical extension. Compared to PC battlefields it's trash.

3 and 4 are the former masquerading as the latter and not quite as good as either because of it.

Their greatest mistake IMO was merging the two and releasing games so often, rather than keeping two separate series and alternating between releases.

>Memorable story
>radios in the vehicles
>Actually features the MEC, albeit briefly
Yes, it was much better.

bc2 hit the sweet spot of having maps designed for infantry on the ground but with a small amount of vehicles, they fucked it all up when they moved onto battlefield 3 because suddenly you had these huge wide open vehicle maps where being on foot was pointless.

a map where you had a single helicopter or light tank moving through a built up area was cool, a massive open desert with no cover vs an enemy team with 4 tanks, 2 jets and a chopper was not so fun.

also recon wasnt just about sniping from the back of the map, aggressive recon anyone?

>>377907593
i see. certainly remember op medics running around with fucking machine guns sniping from across the map so that sounds pretty accurate.

>>377907716
no problem, you asked what part of the world it happened so i gave you one

-no fucking jets
-every weapon felt different but was still useful
-easy to kill vehicles but also easy to wreck shit with vehicles if used properly
-skill based anti air
-maps that are large without having acres of terrain that are tactically useless
-destructibility that can be used as a tool instead of just a flashy gimmick with no impact
-medic gets a fucking LMG
-recon can actually be useful even as a sniper if they spam Q all day and are a good shot. also hackballs + shotgun man mode

BC2 had awesome tech for the time, and it wasn't really a Battlefield game tbw so smaller maps, no jets and overall more casual wasn't a big issue.

BF3/4 on the other end took the worst of BC2 and incorporated into a BF sized game. Awful.

BF Vietnam was the last great Battlefield game imo.

None of the original Desert Combat team is working with Dice anymore, in fact Dice cut all ties with them after Bf2 was released.

Modern Dice consists of Swedish Game devs with university education and no, this is not a good thing and will never be a good thing.

I played BF2 long before BFBC2.

BFBC2 was a lot more fun than being bombed to hell by planes and watching half my shots not hit the target even when prone all day.

People did not like Bad Company at all.
When those games got released most people cried over them going away from the classic BF feeling and more into a CoD direction.

Love for Bad Company and especially BC2 is a thing that happend after the release of Battlefield 3 where the series really went big console mainstream.

>>377911139
Just as many people cried as there were people who loved BC2 right off. BC1 had the benefit of a good-sized console audience so the crying didn't reach them.

>>377911139
The autists cried, not realizing that nobody is taking away their BF2. The loud minority is always the first one to speak out. I remember launch day for BC2 and everyone who played it loved it. The leveling system was a bit dumb (you needed to get to lvl 20 or something to get the objectively best perks, "take less damage" and "deal more damage"), but otherwise the game was really, really fun.

Thats what real recoil is you know? Its good game design to encourage tap fire and firing in short bursts rather than holding down the trigger and still being laser accurate.

>>377911601
tapfire is not good game design.

>Maps perfectly designed for the amount of players
>Peak of environmental destruction in the series that actually affected how you approach the objectives
>Vehicles were powerful, but countered by good players
>Jets are retarded get over it. All jets add to the game are other jet pilots who just fuck with each other the entire round and do nothing else.
>Classes that had very distinct roles, they weren't as homogenized as in BF3 and BF4 and weren't as limited as in BF2
>Campaign was actually good because the characters were witty and likable instead of super serious elite lone wolf who doesn't like talking

BF3 should have been BC2 + Jets + 64 players + prone.

BC2 was fun, the maps were great and rush mode was awesome. It just needed prone but it might have slowed the game down more. Then 64 players would have been epic, and of course jets. But maybe for conquest mode which I didn't play.

BC2 = rush mode.
BF3 = CQ64

Both were fun.

The movement in BF3 was an improvement, and BF4's is perfect. I've never played BF1 because we wuz kingz n shit. If they put BF4's character movement/sprinting/animations in BC2's destructible environment and maps, it would be great. Because the movement in BC2 was limited, like not being able to sprint and strafe and stuff, it feels really dated now.

I miss those BC2 maps after seeing this thread.

>>377911939
I literally have no idea what you are fucking blabbering about, just because you dislike it doesn't make it a bad mechanic.

>>377911939
I guess Counter Strike became famous for spraying then huh

>>377907935
BC2 proved that more is not always better.

>>377910436
This is true, the maps were much more linear in BC2, which meant there was almost always a well defined front, so dying felt a lot less random and flanks were a more focused effort.

>>377904734
>guns have great sound and recoil.

The guns had next to no recoil. The game's shooting mechanics are literally one step ahead of CoD, the only reason it was better was because of the large engagement distances making tap firing much more needed and the fact that headshots were actually worth going for in BC2. They do like 2.1 times damage per standard weapons, while CoD only has headshot damage at like 1.4 times.

Beyond that the game is pretty meh, bolt action rifles suck at range and dominate point blank, rifles and SMGs feel fairly samey, LMGs are low recoil low damage bullet hoses that are far too easy to use, the aim punch is goddamn horrendous, the overall movement and gunplay is a bit janky (can't strafe while running), the netcode was bad and you could easily die while behind cover or knife an enemy and see it clearly connect but not get the kill (seriously, knifing in this game was the least consistent shit ever), and a good chopper pilot would be nearly unstoppable.

It was a fairly mediocre game that did enough right and was out at the right time to gain recognition.

Tapfiring is not good game design, because it's not how guns should handle. A gun doesn't rise and settle perfectly after every shot. There's alot of movement horizontally, as well as vertically.

In CS, all you need to do is memorize a spray and you can hose down all you want.

I used to glitch inside the titan walls in the hangar bay to ambush attackers who couldn't shoot me back. I got tired of aimbot shitters ruining my game. My glitch > their aimbot.

You can get caught in a bad spawn loop but other than that the game is pretty good

Mainly the whole map collapsing over the match

>>377912685
yeah accept VSS only came with like 2 magazines plus the one in your gun.
while i agree with you, VSS was the skill weapon, it also wasn't 1 shotting people, so you had to be accurate.
i was more like an assault sniper, i would get closer than most.

I enjoyed it because no matter how fucked your build was, there was always someone doing something gayer than you. You can be sniping with a shotgun and some faggot will pop up beside you, throw C4 on you and laugh.

I fucking hate idiots like you. Your kind is more damaging to gaming than casual shithead brodudes.

>>377912429
There's nothing wrong with burst firing, hell isn't "short, controlled burst" how you're supposed to use an automatic weapon at range?

but yeah, the shooting in BC2 is still fairly shallow and kinda gross feeling. Playing it now really makes it stand out as meh. Mix the slightly tanky-ness of infantry with the aim punch and you get a game that grossly punishes guns with smaller magazines.

>>377913096
AT4 tracking is easily the single thing that required the most skill in BC2, that shit was goddamn nuts.

Every class did feel completely viable due to the big focus on infantry combat, and yet they still had niches to fill (ammo boxes helped a ton, a solid couple of medics could help you hold a point super easily, engineers were vital to taking down vehicles and recons existed). You never really felt helpless regardless of what you were playing, and you could often help your team out in some way.

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with burst firing, thats what you should be doing, but the key to BC1 was just to tap-tap-tapfire.

>>377913860
You should try installing a copy of the original BFV, it's pretty fucking sweet, the expansion's can't hold a candle.

>>377913558
>>Nobody has good guns but assault
I mean, yeah. It's the only offensive class in the game. Support is defensive at best and Medic and Scout are just support roles at their core.

FACT:

It was the greatest battlefield game BECAUSE it didn't feature the full battlefield experience (i.e. no planes and no excessive vehicle spam)

Tanks, Attack Helos and armored troop transports were rare and the main focus was on infantry warfare on god tier maps without having to jog through deserts for 3 minutes (looking at you BF1)

You got to understand and accept that BC2 is the best because of those reasons only. Yes, I also loved flying around wake island but you gotta search your heart and know it to be true

Take me back
https://youtu.be/oQgZqIiZnqo

BF1942 was the greatest, nothing compares to the feeling you had when you first realized what you were actually plaxing right now, 64 people on the mpa controlling planes and tanks and fucking battleships? And the mod scene was god tier. Afterwards they kept making the games more and more restrictive and CoD's shitty influence on the genre didn't help either.

The main reason: Spawns where not random. In modern battlefield games you can pretty much spawn wherever you want on the map. You can spawn in a helicopter, boat on any of your squad mates and on any flag. This means that there is no real front where the camper can focus on.

This. The maps were small enough to stay intensive and fast paced (as in you don't have to respawn a mile away), but large enough to offer some variation as to how to operate. BF3 & 4 are just so damn big it becomes a mess.

I remember there being a remote control helicopter you could call in a artillery strike with. If you had the alt-fire perk on while using this rc copter it gave it a machine gun. I used to just fly around mowing down campers and other unsuspecting fools. The rage messages were great. Good times.

During the open beta and early release we would play with a bunch of bros, stack the copter full of C4, fly it to the objective and just blow it up. The opponents usually left halfway through the match because they couldn't figure why the objectives were instantly destroyed without an enemy on sight. Good times.

Got into the beta for each game after BC2. Never purchased them after I realized they suddenly decided they wanted they cod audience. Tried too hard to compete when Battlefield was good because it stayed true to it's self. Even with the 'laugh track on' bad company games battlefield was battlefield. 3 was oh wow graphics and season passes. Even the DLC for BC2 was better. 4 was graphics.. shitty gameplay and shitty optimization boring maps, weapons all sound the same, hurr buzzword for canned map destruction.. hardline... what the literal fuck.. we want that counter strike and payday audience. For some reason.

2010, anon, not 2007. MW2 came out the year before and everything wanted to copy it.
