Battlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam WTF

This was my most anticipated game of the year and has turned into the worst game of the year. I personally thought this would do circles around Black Ops and it’s fallen flat on it’s face. Even Black Ops multiplayer is 100x better than this game. Apparently the developers were still in the Medal of Honor mode when they developed this add-on. It feels like CoD/MoH meets vehicles… I know MoH has limited vehicles but even Operation Hastings, which was released tonight is a pile of shit, plain and simple. I don’t know what they were thinking other than to compete with Call of Duty and WHY? They’re distinctively different games and people play them for those reasons.
They changed the dynamics where rather than defending a base that you own, you’re attacking a base you own, in most situations. You don’t spawn at the defensive point as you do in BFBC2, you spawn at the base next to it while, generally, the opposing side is humping your objectives by the time you get there. The best one tonight is spawning in Hastings and being killed almost immediately by a helicopter at the spawn base, which again, isn’t the attack point. So basically you can be base rapped and there isn’t a boundary.
I had grown a bit tired of BFBC2, it’s been nearly a year and I’ve put a lot of time in the game so it’s not a surprise to me and this was suppose to be my deliverance but instead of being my most anticipated game of the year, it’s become the biggest disappointment of the year for me.
If you like Call of Duty/Modern Warfare and the retooled Medal of Honor, you should love it, otherwise don’t waste your money and keep playing BFBC2.

I can’t seem to stop playing this game. It’s the most I’ve played a CoD game online since the first. I hated MW2 and MW was fun at times but I really didn’t start playing it b/c of BF2. I really can’t believe a CoD game has replaced a BF game, but I’ve not touched Bad Company 2 since it’s release. The funny thing to hear is MW2 players complaining about the game since it’s not quite as small and arcade-like as MW2. It’s still an arcade game compared to BF games but it’s a lot of fun and maybe somewhat of a bridge between MW2 and BFBC2. Having Vietnam roots certainly doesn’t hurt the game for me.
Anyway, I like it quite a bit and it’s kind of like the new spastic game that I’ve been missing since I stopped playing UnrealTournament games. UT games were always nice to do while playing Battlefield games to break up the slower pace. MW2 never seemed to quench my thirst for that, it was too small and restricted, which is what seems to be the problem with the hardcore MW2 people, BO is too big. LOL! Fun stuff….
