Meh - tried Battlefield. Gameplay is horrible compared to COD. I've been playing COD since COD: United Offensive and it's still not boring. The COD engine is so much smoother than BF's and i cba with vehicles and stuff. I like to run around and blast anything that moves.... Battlefield is not a patch on COD. I'm sure the sales count will prove that too.
I have MW2/BLOPS - I played them for ages. Got pretty decent at both and enjoyed them. I have also spent alot of time on WAW and COD4.
They then released 4x4 map packs for 10 pounds a pop... 4 maps for 10 pounds.. you have paid 80 pounds for a game.. its a rip off.
Every game is the same, you get 2/3 people camping in corners, 2/3 running and gunning and 2/3 people who dont really know what to do.
The maps are small so that on each map you get 2/3 choke points which makes every game exactly the same.
Everyone is out for themselves so you get a 'rambo' community.. if thats you're type of thing then cool..
You play on a host which means alot of the time, the kid who's hosting has to go and eat his dinner, so there are lots of DC's.
The hit reg isn't that great (but nor is battlefield so that's a mute point). I mean how many times do you KNOW that you shot someone but when you watch kill cam, it doesnt even show you shooting your weapon..
It seems smoother than BF because it is, it has better frame-rates because its on alot smaller scale, not that BF is unplayable or anything.
Yea, ALOT more people play COD than BF, but COD is alot more arcade like than BF because its quicker, because its smaller. What it doesnt mean is that it is a better game.
The last 4 COD games are carbon copies of each other with different perks and kill streaks.
On BF I dont really like the vehicles either, so I strap c4 to them and blow them up.
The gameplay seems horrible because you're not used to having weight in anything in a game, it seems sluggish because in BF your character doesnt hover when running. Take your time, get in a half decent squad and have more fun in 5 mins then you could in 5 weeks in COD's prefabricated choke fest.
And to be honest, none of the BF community likes bad company 2 that much, we're looking forward to BF3.
Rev, I'm 24.
