Hope it's better than the first one. I just tried to play the first one a couple of days ago. After playing MW2 for the past month or so, it was impossible for me to get into Bad Company. I didn't like anything about it...graphics, aiming, health regeneration, and most importantly the control scheme.

Jorts, I think it comes out March 4.

Hope it's better than the first one. I just tried to play the first one a couple of days ago. After playing MW2 for the past month or so, it was impossible for me to get into Bad Company. I didn't like anything about it...graphics, aiming, health regeneration, and most importantly the control scheme.

I had the opposite reaction. I played MW2 first, and outside of the graphics I didn't see the perks, myself. I got so bored/frustrated with MW2 that I decided to take a break for a day or two and play Battlefield. It hasn't left the disc tray since then.

The game play (in my opinion) is far superior. And I liked a lot of the little things, like the sound; the faint pops of rifle fire in the distance is much more realistic, and that your hearing goes out when a rocket explodes next to you. The only edge I give MW2 is graphics, but BFBC came out 2 years ago, so of course the graphics would be outdated. BFBC2 will have better graphics, and just from watching the video, it looks like they corrected a lot of the things I have a problem with BFBC (such as the rocket launcher class can have a rifle this time; you're not stuck with a shotgun just because you want to bust tanks).

I think this could be the MW2 killer. Of course not in sales. This game won't get anywhere near the hype MW2 did, but I think in the future it will be recognized as a superior game.

*edit*

I should qualify all of this by saying that I am referring only to the multiplayer experience. Not the single player, which I also tip the hat to MW2. But at the end of the day, that's only like 4 hours. Multiplayer is what consumes your life.

Ive been trying to get all of you COD players to play this forever. Its a far better game than COD. You actually get to fly helicopters and drive tanks, humvees and APCs.

A more realistic game also. This game also has such big maps that campers are a non factor. I'm talking maps 20 times the size of COD. Also a destructible environment is awesome. Buildings that actually blow up when a grenade or tank shell hits it.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
