Battlefield Bad Company 2 Rant

I’m officially done with Battlefield: Bad Company 2. As per requested by my best friend, I gave it one last go round. Being a COD4 and MW2 fan he had to convince me to buy it in the first place and I rarely blind buy games without renting them first, but he is my best friend and avid gamer, what could go wrong?

I’ve been playing off and on for the better part of two days now and feel that I have given this game plenty of time to make an “educated” decision. This game F’ing sux!! The game is literally so damn frustrating I wanted to throw my controller at the freaking wall and I haven’t wanted to do that since Ninja Gaiden 2! Now, I know MW2 and COD4 have their flaws and I get frustrated with those games as well; however, I also have good games and have fun playing. With BBC2, I have yet to have that experience.

Case in point, I was playing today, this morning actually, with any map, team/squad death match, and hard core. In several of the games I hit a guy with my sniper rifle, the M24, and it literally takes two shots to kill them, unless I hit them in the head. On the snow level, for example, I mortar a guy in a building giving him damage AND shot him in the chest. Wow! Imagine that, he didn’t die. So, I figure, screw it, I’ll just go up and finish him off. Well, obviously that didn’t work. I get up the stairs turn around and here he comes around the corner and kills me in two shots, with his HAND GUN!! Seriously, I mortar and snipe him in the chest with nothing, but he pops two caps in my ass ending my curiosity with this ridiculous game. I thought this was hardcore?? It seemed like normal play only without the map. This scenario happens in several other games until finally I said I’m done. This game is going to Gamestop while it still has some value and reserving Black Ops.

Maybe it’s my setup, strategy (I've tried camping, sniping, and run-n-gun), perhaps my connection, or maybe I just plan suck, but this game has truly worn out it’s welcome and sticking to my plan of renting before buying.

I am the worst sniper in the world and the only way I would attempt the sniper class was in HC. I was having no problems getting 1 shot kills. I can't imagine you mortar a guy then shoot him in the chest and don't get a kill. Lag is the only explanation for that one. I like BFBC2 because it's a game that really rewards teamwork.

That's cool. Nothing wrong with that. I just wasn't having any fun and when I play a game that just isn't enjoyable it's time to move on. Some people are good at that game, like you, and some aren't, like me. I was Ok at Halo and am pretty good at COD4/MW2, but I just couldn't hang with BFBC2. Maybe Medal of Honor will be different.

I had the same problems when I first started playing multiplayer. When you are in a squad that works together and communicates with each other, its a lot more fun. unfortunately that is the exception rather than the rule. I also get frustrated with having to hit someone twice with a bolt action sniper rifle even when you hit them in the head. MOH & COD Black Ops will be here soon.
