oooh a contender for the throne....... in what respects is it better than COD? i bought the last one and the bullet lag was far worse than COD online
BC2 does suffer from time to time with jerky players moving about all over the place, normally when people join/leave your squad, but it doesn't tend to happen often. So i'd say yes they've sorted most of the lag issues out. To be truthful it's as much about how the game performs as what broadband connection you have to the web.

It's just more my type of game. COD is all about killing unless you are in a game mode with an objective. Small Maps, fast action, DIE loads if you aren't good.
BC2 is mostly about team effort, objectives unless you are on death match and even then its team death match! More guns, class types, driving vehicles, the helicopter is totally awesome! As soon as BC2 was out i stopped playing COD and won't be going back.
MAG is another amazing game. really good feel to the player while moving, BC2 does feel sluggish but then again I would imagine thats how we would feel if we had all that gear/guns on so i guess it is realistic.
PS3 platform is my choice of weapon. Add me if you like - Have a microphone too, PSN name is MrGoldfish

Anyone wanna play feel free to add me: crazy88uk (PSN)
I much prefer this game to MW2 for the reasons other people have posted. It's just better, and another thing nobody has mentioned, is just how ****** good the sound is! I had it on loud last night, and it's amazing.
Does anyone ever use headsets these days? It seems that the only people who do are 15 year old kids. And they're always far better than me too, haha
Hi mate, what rank are you, im a touch under 26, much more fun when you have the better weapons.
I'm only like rank 8/9 I think. Haven't played it too much yet, but just love the time I have had. I am starting to get some nice unlocks. I am loving the assault class, with 4x scope. There are far too many snipers on the game, so with the 4x scope I get best of both worlds as I can often pick off the rubbish snipers, but still have some close range fun.
I really can't wait to get some of the better guns and specializations.
Yeah snipers are a pain, but revenge is always sweet, the M16 or M416 is perfect for long range sniper killing, but also for close range assualts.
Once you get the m95 sniper rifle it is pretty much one shot kills, combined with a 12x scope and magnum bullets.
I shot a bloke in the head from about 800 yards away, got about 400 points for one kill was brilliant.
I also find the anti tank mines great fun, because they stay even if you die, so all of a sudden you get kills later because of mines you have forgotten about lol.
Hope they plan on bringing new maps/weapons sometime soon though.
The game is amazing and once you reach level 24 it takes a LONG time to level up through the officer ranks, i need 100,000 points to climb to level 27.
You on xbox or ps3 mate? PS3 here.
ooh, they do indeed sound exciting! I need to play sniper a little more, I have played it about twice, but will never have the good guns if I don't just try it. The anti-tank mines sound brilliant too. Although I find myself mostly playing squad rush. Find the smaller 4 vs. 4 games are great fun.
I like how long it takes to rank up too. My mate is a huge battlefield 2 fan on pc, and after all these years of playing he still isn't at the highest rank!

Also always mark your targets with the orange marker arrows as this allows everyone to see the enemy and is useful if you get killed or there is a difficult camper that keeps killing everyone that you wasnt everyone to see, plus you get spotting points when your men are killed.
Oh forgot to say about Hardcore.
Hardcore has no map to let you cheat your way into kills or by finding your way around a map. It gives no kill cam, just shows details of killer and not where he/she might be when they killed you. It has no bullet count on weapon so you need to remember how many shots fired or just reload lots.
The bullet damage is a lot more which for some is not so good...but i'll say one thing it makes you concentrate more and you learn quickly how to stay alive!
Much better and more realistic.

I think I might have to give hardcore a try. Sounds amazingly hard but awesome too. Hopefully get chance tomorrow as I'm off work for the day.
Get yourself a ps3 dazmo! You know you want to.
Hardcore FTW!
Been playing hard these last few days. I've only got 4 Insignia's to get and 1 Pin to complete my selection. When Onslaught comes out I'll have 100% on the trophies hopefully.
Great game, love it.

Onslaught mode is for up to four players. To begin with, there will be four maps to play: Valparaiso, Atacama Desert, Isla Innocentes and Nelson Bay. They've been redesigned with new lighting, time of day, more vehicles and other touches.
Each map has a different focus. Atacama pushes vehicular combat to the fore while Nelson Bay concentrates on infantry. Onslaught will have leaderboards for squads to compete on.
