no jmsprovan, we're talking about older games. Did you notice how johngalt is terrible at them but still has a supposedly well-informed opinion? he's a silly goose

my post was in reference to the entire thread, not just the last few posts.

Zique, for someone that's had a very bad day arguing on bf2s you're sure still trying hard. When did I capitulate? I never said BF2 was terrible. I said I liked BC2 better.

Here's what I do think was better about BF2:

64 player maps and map size in general
The number of maps that featured vehicles
The commander and destroyable assets
Weapons to the extent that BC2 had I think too much variety but too little differentiation.
Prone
More varied map styles

I never said the game sucked. I enjoyed the hundreds of hours I spent playing it. I just recognize that there was a lot of room for improvement and BC2 did a lot to build on it.

BC2 weapons in the first ps3 beta did have plenty of differentiation, too bad Dice decided to nerf the fuck out of guns and buff guns as well, destroyed the balance and made xm8 superior to the aug and m416 as far as rate of fire goes. I did favor giving the xm8 lmg variant and the mg36 the exact same stats though. Destroyable assets was fun but I've said before that squad leaders should replace commanders with some limitations to encourage getting more squads.

Whoa, it's been awhile since we've had anonymous karma rages like that.

We just don't get those anymore on these forums.

repost much?

It appears that zh1nt0 has confirmed that the four maps in the Return to Karkand expansion pack are going to be:  Strike at Karkand, Gulf of Oman, Sharqi Peninsula, and Wake Island.  Which of these is not like the others?

If the BF universe had any continuity Wake Island ought to be a giant crater by now. But yeah, Wake on 1943 was fun. Expect the Airfield to be rendered useless pretty early on, if anyone has the brains and determination to keep bombarding it. Then again it depends on how it starts off, in 1943 nobody started on the airfield. Both started on carriers.

Gulf of Oman shouldn't play out too differently. The snipers on top of the tall hotel(?) should be easily taken care of if the entire building is destructible. Unless DICE decide to cheat and replace it with an indestructible under-construction building like they did for most of the big buildings in Bad Company...

Karkand and Sharqi should be massively different. The helicopters should cause some nice carnage on Sharqi. I hope they don't fuck around with the maps too much, just translate them to the new engine and add all the bells and whistles and see how different it is from BF2.
