MW2 is much faster paced with smaller maps. This one has larger maps (slightly) and seems to be more dynamic. Getting used to it... though I have to say it's not quite what I expected.

I think the best modern warfare FPS of recent memory was Joint Operations: Typhoon Rising (and Escalation). Huge maps with huge servers and a solid balance of vehicles... I could sit in a map for hours and hours on end in that game!

Well uh

What are you doing?

What class are you playing?

I've only put 6 hours on the game so far and I'm up to Rank 9. I play recon 95% of the time and I've already unlocked the M95. I'm better than average compared to your run of the mill FPS player though, so my results may not be typical.

MW2 is a toned down quake in a modern setting. BC2 is a Battlefield game with destructible environments. Past both being shooters set in a psuedo-modern period you can't compare the two at all. For what it is worth I've racked up most of my FPS hours in CS:S and I like it a bunch.

Thanks for the info I was thinking of picking the game up for 360.

**** man I need to get on your squad, I actually played a bit today and ranked up twice, im a 3 now, i might have just needed to shake off some rust, once i got the concept of the games im starting to get more exp.

So can you go prone? I don't see any keys mapped for it and it doesn't look like it's even an option... kind of lame if you ask me.

BTW my BC2 name is m4a1mustang... lol

So the UI is glitchy and there are tons of server problems. I keep getting kicked minutes after joining a game for some problem they have with Punkbuster. Sometimes you can't even get into a game... very frustrating.

My stats keep getting erased and i lose weapons/gadgets that i have unlocked due to server issues. The game is awesome though. Its like MW2 but with team work and vehicles.

Yeah, I just was able to get into a pretty good game. When people work together the battles are intense.

Was just in a big firefight in a snowy village. I was holed up in a barn with some of my team and others were in adjacent buildings. We were trying to advance but forward progress was halted by an enemy fighting vehicle. VERY intense battle. The destructive environment is ridiculous... the entire barn and one of the houses were eventually leveled entirely because of the fighting. And it's cool seeing trees fall because they were hit by some heavy rounds.

Just wish I could f'ing go prone!!!

the spotting is really cool too. i was playing with my friend and he spotted a sniper in the upstairs window of a really far building. he was pinning us down. I peeked out, let out a few bursts with the xm8 and he was done. Saving private ryan style.

I also like how the pistols are actually useful. unlike mw2 where they are like pea shooters.

my tag is Jeffblue btw

Yeah... sneaking around with the M24 isn't that bad because you can count on your pistol in relatively close range engagements. I still haven't figured all of the controls and stuff out but I'm getting better and having fun.

BUT I STILL WISH YOU COULD GO PRONE IN THIS DAMN GAME!!!

I agree man, they need to come up with a patch that allows you to go prone, when you're kneeling you still present a HUGE target, i've found that the best thing to do is stand inside one of those little brush thickets, take a shot or two, then move to the next, its worked great so far. BTW, PS3 has ZERO server issues ;)

From what I've read they are never going to add prone.

I wonder what the dev will be like on the PC side... wonder if we'll ever see any new maps or anything. That's one thing that this game could use... larger maps... and larger servers IMO. 32 people is lame.

lets just try for functioning servers
