i don't know what it is, but i just can't play conquest in this game. i was fairly dominant in BF1942 and BF2 conquest, i have no problems playing rush or team deathmatch in this game, but if i try conquest in BC2 i can't seem to stay alive for more than a few seconds. i always seem to spawn in an enemy ambush or they spawn right behind me when i'm trying to capture a point. plus with so much open ground on these maps snipers just make things not fun

which kinda sucks, since i love flying the attack helicopters but they're so under-utilized. i miss the vast vehicle selections of BF2 or 1942

Me too. I am waiting for BF3. This game is pretty much played out for me unless they get some new maps.

For Conquest, don't spawn with your squad if you think they are in the middle of a firefight. Spawn at a further base and make your way to your objective.

Also as maps become more well known and practiced, the usual sniping positions are given away and the game changes once again.

Also most of the awful snipers don't bother to switch to their pistols every now and then to take a look at their surroundings, making them easy knife meat.
Yeah, I don't have any trouble seeing snipers on the jungle maps. They'll surprise me for sure every now and then but usually they stick out against the background if your video settings aren't too dark.

Same here, it doesn't have that "must play this now!" factor. The last game that had it for me was Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (1, not 2, 2 is utter garbage).

The only game that sort of has that factor right now is NHL 10, but that game pisses me off with the random a-holes I play against in Ranked VS.

Hopefully they release some new maps soon, playing the same 4-6 over and over is boring as hell, considering most of my games are like 6 vs 6 on maps which are 4KM long.

6 on 6? That few? Is that average for servers on console?

I already thought 16 on 16 on PC was really sucky compared to when it used to be 32 on 32 on the old Battlefield games. I really miss 64 player games.

I thought in the MW2 game you were all but ready to marry the game until this came out.

I play 32 v 32 Conquest on Atacama Desert. I think its the best map in the game and you get some pretty intense vehicle combat. Its a lot of fun to rush on a quad and mine up the water around the B flag.

Yep, and then he fell into a tumultuous love affair with BC2, all the while telling everyone how MW2 was garbage in bed and how it cheated on him...but now he's ready to move on yet again to the latest God of War or Starcraft 2 or something. I don't blame him. BC2 is boring.

There's no such thing as 32 vs 32. It's 16 vs 16 unfortunately. They really need to come out with a larger, all vehicle combat focused map. It would be fantastic to have one with multiple helicopters per team along with actually useful stationary weapons. They also need a proper sea battle map so people could get the water vehicle kills.

The game has decent assets, but the map department uses them poorly. It's too bad that we can't have user made custom maps and modding anymore. A sign of the times.

The hate, it hurts.

Did I ever praise MW2 that much? Just curious, because I was excited for it, but my excitement died down 2 weeks after playing the game.

By the way, Return to Castle Wolfenstein is still the best FPS multiplayer game.

I don't have a problem with your fan boy attitude. You're like a 15 year old that wants to spread your seed to everything and anything you can. You seem to get bored with a game quick and jump to the next one praising it as the next coming of god.

I would love to see a mix between MAG and BFBC2 with the vehicles. I love the massive battlefields and complex objectives with mag, but the vehicles stink quite frankly. BFBC2 would be great if they could increase the # of players significantly

Is it lame and/or griefing? Yes. Is it awesome? YES

while that video is high on the lameness factor, i still have to applaud it. i've actually gotten quite good at Recon simply because i'm forced to play it if i don't want to die by sniper fire a dozen times over in many maps. sniping shouldn't be nearly as easy as it is in this game

Crappy winter storms....

Was having a good round last night with burn_this_city and then I got punted. One minute I am riding machine gun in his tank, the next I have no internet connection.

Me too! I had a 22 kill streak going too.

I just took that as a sign I needed to head to bed.

You did better than me on one map. I ended up 5:5 and I think you were 5-2. Our team was terrible until the last three maps.
