never had a laggy game but some do have trouble as for bugs and glitches the only thing I have seen is floating and bouncing barrels on some maps but very rare. If you want proper team work and huge maps with vehicals BC is for you. IMO a beast of a game love it

I'm just curious if Bad Company 2 has just as many flaws and bugs as Modern Warfare 2. I grow tired of all the bugs and glitches in MW2 I'm think I'm ready to move on. Just wanna hear some opinons of those that have played both. And I'm specifically referring to MP.

Funny how "skill" always seems to come back to COD or Halo.

I got bored today and started thinking up my own scale to rate yourself. It's based on 1 through 10.

As usual, 1 would be the worst and 10 would be the best. I even gave descriptions based on my own opinion, so this isn't gospel. You may not agree with my descriptions, but that's fine with me.

Enjoy!

1 - You are worse at games than my mom. You consistently die on the very first Goomba on Super Mario Brothers. The few times you have managed to either squish him or just jump over him, you consider that a major victory.

2 - You know which buttons do what on the controller and you can beat the first few levels of a 2D platformer, but beyond that you're just wasting electricity for even attempting to go further.

3 - You've beat a few of the easier games when the difficulty was set to easy, but once you put the difficulty back up to normal on those easier games, you got your arse handed to you.

4 - Most games pose a great challenge to you, but after many tries, you beat most games you've played.

5 - The average gamer. You're starting to grasp the concept of technique development, and maybe even found a few programming flaws or glitches that you realized you could exploit anytime that you were in a pinch.

6 - Technique and strategy are part of your plan, but like Mike Tyson once said, "Everyone has a plan until they get hit." You still can't beat every single game and every single level out there, but you're darn close.

7 - You can easily create great strategies and typically your plan works great. You beat Halo games on Legendary, but you needed help through co-op, and it took you a great deal of time.

8 - You have superb reflexes and you can conquer some games. Your techniques and strategies are sound. (Conquer meaning, for example, you can play through an entire campaign of a first person shooter without dying once). You even beat Contra without using the Konami code.

9 - Once in a while, game developers make a game that has a special mode that was made just for you, making the game very difficult. Example: Nazi Zombies in COD: World at War, most don't see what's after round 30. You have reached level 50...........BY YOURSELF! (not using glitches either).

10 - You are a god. At one time or another you have probably won some kind of organized gaming contest. You became part of the Mile High Club on your first try. Halo's Vidmaster achievements pose no more of a threat than Avatar: The Last Airbender's achievements. Your K/D ratio on COD is probably over 3.00 and you're the reason why a lot of the noobs don't stick around.

Why are you comparing SP's to MP's? You have made it completely obvious now that you haven't even played the demo of BC2, so why are you even trying to act like you know something. Yes, I've played (and finished) both Fallout and Oblivion. Those games are HEAVILY story based, and 20 min wouldn't even give you an idea of what's going in the game. But I wasn't talking about a game like that, I'm talking about a DEMO! A demo in which you can only play online, it doesn't even have an option of playing the SP part of the game on the demo. How much longer until you figure that out? And like I said, it's a demo! A demonstration. No demonstration should have to last longer than 20 min just to get the idea of how things work. Sure, some "choose" to view/play a demonstration over and over, but that's their cup of tea. I'm a pretty smart guy, I can figure things out pretty quick from a demonstration.

You can't compare an SP w/MP because it's not like MP's have a story. Sorry bud, but pretty much what happened in the 20 min I played online is probably still gonna be the same thing that's going on for the next 20 min, and then the 20 min after that, and after that, and after that................which is a bunch of people killing each other. But apparently you have to play a demo for at least, what? 5 hours to get the idea. I'm sorry you're so slow.

Well I feel a bit stupid really.

I have only just bought Mass Effect after resisting since it's release. The reason? I'm not a big RPG fan. I've tried in the past with games like Fallout 3, KotOR etc... so was put off by this game. But I kept hearing about it and at £7.99 for the Classic version thought what the hell.

I love it so far. Still early on in the game i.e. just got the Normandy and rescued Liara T'Soni but I'm finding the whole story and characters engrossing.

As it's been out for some time I pretty much now what the ending will be, not in detail but roughly but I don't think this will spoil the game experience too much.

Yes the combat is clunky but I have played worse games in the past tbh.

Looking forward to getting through this one and then purchase ME2.

I played the BC1 demo forahile and the improvements are vast in BC2.

secondly, quit comparing it to Battlefield 2 on PC, you wanted BC1 comparisons. Big deal if you could parachute in BF2, you can in BC2 and that's what mattered.

next, the improvements are minor, but in big ways...

from it getting an 'M' rating to being able to bring down entire buildings instead of just walls.

the LITTLE things add up to be vast. and 20 minutes to try the game is essentially a joke. I put over 10 hours into it because it's that good.

why not look up BC1 vs. BC2 or find out what they've improved on their website.

[QUOTE="Crystal-Rush"][QUOTE="jasonlc3221"] I know it has a level up system, but it's not nearly as robust as the COD's level up system. And the inclusion of vehicles is still nothing new to me because BF2 on PC had that toolil_d_mack_314

seriously? you call there system robust? all it is, you lose all you achvs, weapons, etc. in turn for a new tittle or emblem-sure there fun to look at but what good does that do you while playing MP? nothing. robust? hardly. even then you have the people that spend so much time trying to get these emblems, tittles, or just to lv up and while there doing it, it destroys MP game play. sure some games have there glitches and exploits but MW2 come on

So did anyone else think that BF:BC2 is just about the exact same online as the first one? I mean, it's almost to a default.

I guess in some ways, it's a good thing they aren't just straight-up copying COD, but com'on, add something new to the online.

ive played the demo for forty hrs plus. i dont see anything wrong with using the same formula if it worked the 1st time. as to where MW1 was amazing and MW2 is terrible in comparison. if somethings not broken dont fix it.

Again, not wanting BF to copy the same system, but to still come up with their own innovative/creative idea or feature that will rival COD. I like the weapons in BF much better, they seem more realistic, plus the inclusion of vehicles adds more variety. Just want to see a big, new feature that makes me say WOW!
