seriously not. bc2 seems to be all hype. there's actually very little to the game, all tech-tricks and new-features aside.

and the bugs and glaring issues just make it a bit of a rage-fest.

the shooting-action itself feels too bulky and console-like. in bf2 the actual run-and-gun gameplay wasn't greatly defined (say, in comparison to cod1/cod2) but the overall gameplay really carried it miles. in bc2 it's just mad spam, big explosions and a really quite rudimentary FPS system.
well it's a console game. that's all about there is to it

I didn't expect anything more and I'm not disappointed. Something to pass the time while waiting for a battlefield game designed FOR the PC.
you'll be waiting longer for that than Duke Nukem Forever.
i never played/heard about duke nukem (except for the countless fucking BALLLSS OF STEEEL HLSS spammers in TF2), so this is lost on me, but I imagine it's a long time eh

I don't really care tbh, hopefully I won't be playing games by the time it's out

duke nukem: forever basically pioneered a new genre and facet of the gaming industry... the game that never arrives.

people waiting on this messiah-like BC3 are bound to be disappointed. not only are they hyping their own expectations, but they're expecting standards of a gaming industry that has console-ized and jumped on the DLC-gravy train culture. you're not going to get another bf2. there will be no more bf2's. as long as companies can continue banging out titles like bc2 - average shooters at best, priced like a small diamond-ring - then they're operating on a good enough business cycle. develop and release game with high debut-price: massive sales in first month: recoup development costs and make rocket profit margins: game dies slowly as people realize it's shit: doesn't matter because you've already got the next 6-month floater in the pipeline. modern warfare does this. the last few battlefield games, for both console and pc, have been doing this. they are not earnestly working away on another bf2-like behemoth title in the background. game design studios are working to a different rhythm now - make money, make disposable and forgettable games, and make them often.

with that model, why would it be in anyone's interest for them to make a game like bf2 that would last for years on end? a community stuck playing an old game? expecting free content-updates and patches/fixes? why give them that when we can reskin a few guns and repackage it as a £50 sequel? DUH!

i despair. going back to call of duty 1/2 tonight. i'll be a WoW addict again by morning. but at least... at least they have decency!

Not recognizing that the COD MW series is a console port is like not seeing the forest for all the trees.

Though admittedly not polished or perfect, BC2 does manage to blend (well) the long-range mechanized combat for which the BF series is known with the HALO-inspired run-and-gun that sold a generation of XBOX360 users on MW.

I seriously don't know what I have done to you.
I do it to you on the clan site too I just don't think I've ever seen a post written by you that doesn't mention at least once how awesome you are at FPS shooters. It's not really an issue, I just like giving you a hard time about it.
You massive prick, there was not one part of the previous post that mentioned 'how awesome' he is.

You're just a complete arsehole, jesus leave the guy alone.
Camm fuck off, he's a clanmate.
