Best thing about big maps? Less knifing.

I've actually had MORE knife kills on BC2 than on MW2. Its a lot easier to sneak up on someone because its hard to tell who's friend or foe sometimes.

True, I actually knife a lot more in BFBC, because you can sneak up behind someone very easily, especially as my beloved sniper. But I think knifing is more tactical BFBC2. Hiding, stalking, and assassinating. And I avoid going in buildings for fear of getting knifed. I guess the point is, knifing is avoidable in BFBC, and when you get a knife kill you earned it.

On those claustrophobic COD mapsm where you're never more than a few feet away from anybody, people just knife because it's faster than shooting. It's all about reaction time, not skill. What you end up getting in COD are those guys kamakazi charging at you from 30 feet away, magically evading all of your bullets, and knifing you from 15 feet away with commando.

I got the demo and MW2 > BF2. If somehow they could merge vehicles (ground) and destructable buildings and larger maps in MW2 then that would be epic. Maybe MW3?

In this game you have to account for gravity too. If you are far away from a guy you are shooting at you have to play for bullet drop. Also bigger maps = less campers.

Just played the demo last night, and I am very impressed. Huge improvement over the original in every way. Graphics look great, much more fluid movement, very smooth gameplay. Will get this on its drop date (and that's saying a lot considering I have yet to pay full price for a PS3 game)

I really don't understand the complaints I am reading about taking too much ammo to kill somebody this time around. Especially considering its predecessor. In BFBC, you had a 50 round magazine and still ended up with about 13 rounds left after a shootout. I'd say it takes just slightly more damage than MW2 to kill someone.

BC is much better than MW in my opinion, but I do wish it allowed at least 32 players. The maps are just so big that having only 24 players sometimes makes it difficult to find people.

Eh, tried a few times playing this demo, just couldn't really get into it. I guess I just like the ways of CoD a lot more.

This game will probably replace MW2 for me.

gave it a shot the other night, and thought it was hilarious and fun but it was difficult to see stuff on my crappy sdtv.

played as the sniper for a bit and ended up killing this one guy like 3 or 4 times in a row. eventually he got on an atv and and raced through my entire team just to get to me and hose me down with an assault rifle lol.

i will try this again, as it was pretty confusing but i think i started to get the hang of it.

MW2 is already collecting dust at my house. This game in my opinion is far superior than other shooters out.

I play with three guys and we make a good squad. One assualt (gives out ammo) one medic (gives out health) one engineer (fixes vehicles) and one sniper (motion sensors).

The medic can even revive a recently shot teamate. And the new binoculars that let you spot enemy soldiers and vehicles in very nice. It lets the whole team see their position.

I can't wait for the full game to come out. I really want to see all the other maps.
