Worst Company: 10 Bad Habits in Bad Company 2

GR -"If you’ve played Bad Company 2 for awhile, you may be developing some bad habits that you’ve carried over from previous first person shooters. Hopefully, this list will allow you to notice some of the bad habits you might have and fix them. At the very least, you might get a laugh from noticing them in others."

stop switching teams when your team is losing!@!@!

smurfz4808d ago

Agreed! I see people doing that constantly and it's beginning to get very annoying!

BeaArthur4808d ago

Never done that but I might start. I'm not going to lie, if the game puts me on a team with a bunch of scrubs I'll switch to the other team. I'm not talking about a team that is competitive but losing, I'm talking about those games where the team you are on is getting totally steamrolled. I mean why should I just sit there and suffer because EA's servers decided I need more of a challenge by playing with people that don't know what they are doing.

Kevin ButIer4808d ago (Edited 4808d ago )

Lol Port Valdez... epic fail

jib4808d ago

pisses me off too when my teams sucking a lot of a-- but its never made me switch 'cause it gets boring playing with an overly dominant team in rush

BattleAxe4808d ago (Edited 4808d ago )

BC2 isn't balanced properly. The teams are almost never equal, half of every team are snipers who camp around the edges of the maps and drop mortars all over the place, and since you can't communicate with your entire team, its hard to play tactically. Being able to switch teams also ruins the balance of the games. Hopefully Battlefield 3 fixes these things, but since its going to be 12 vs 12 again on consoles, its probably going to be the same thing.

jriquelme_paraguay4808d ago (Edited 4808d ago )

Snipers on the hill? no problem.. Mortar Strike is the SOlution!

Or just kill'em all

darksied4807d ago (Edited 4807d ago )

Ugh, so true. It's not only pathetic, it's counter intuitive. That just means it'll take LONGER for the game to end because the losing team will just hide and snipe for the rest of the game.

A lot of these really do happen often, but it's weird how SO MANY THINGS can ruin a game of BC2, whereas in Black Ops, for example, you can just have maybe a camper, or a cheater, and that's it. Complex vs Simple I guess. Still my favorite shooter in recent memory.

I hate fuckers camping on that hill.

bumnut4808d ago

I hate it when 90% of my team are snipers and don't advance to take objectives

ChrisW4808d ago

I hate grenade spammers, especially in Vietnam. Too many choke points to exploit.

ivant4808d ago (Edited 4808d ago )

Yeah, like real snipers would never camp on a hill, on a roof top, in a bush

/s

My major hate is the slow reload. No sure if it is my system lagging but I must always have to stop moving before I can reload and the response is slow as.

Still, BC2 is better than MW2 by a mile, but just needed the response of the controls to be more faster....and more maps(large ones with copters/tanks) and modes.

BattleAxe4808d ago (Edited 4808d ago )

I like MW2 better than BC2. The games in MW2 are always balanced properly and theres more maps and game modes. BC2 was good, but it got boring fast. Dice never properly supported the game for the first 6 months while having only "mode packs". Vietnam add-on was cool and Onslaught mode was cool, but again it got boring very quickly, and personally I think that they should have released the game with Onslaught Mode included, instead of making people pay $10.00 for something(co-op) that you got free with other games like GRAW2, RSV 1+2, Resistance 2, Uncharted 2, CoD: WaW and MW2.

ATiElite4808d ago

Snipers camping on a hill or a roof top? That's crazy, that's insane, i've never heard of such madness. Where do you expect a sniper to camp...in a fallout bunker 400 feet below the surface.

I myself am a sniper and i just love stabbing other snipers in the head. I got more dog tags than a kennel.

ultimate-remag4808d ago

I always let ppl hop into the heli with me n then crash it cuz i cant fly hahahahahaha

ivant4808d ago

Evil

Then there's those jerks in your team that drive/crash into you when you on the anti-aircraft gun, penalizing you 10 points for suicide. WTF. This bug should have been fixed DICE.

Big_Dom4808d ago

Snipers. Useless bastards. You know who you are. You're all fucking shit.

ATiElite4808d ago

Not me!! when your sitting there dicking around reloading your gun or waiting on the flag to switch or running out in the open like a fool I'm the one all alone providing you support and cover fire. or if your on the other team i'm the one shooting you in the face.

BeaArthur4808d ago

Not all are useless, they have their role to play. A lot of them just don't play the game with the objective in mind which can be true of any class.

--------4808d ago (Edited 4808d ago )

Uh oh!

Big_Dom4808d ago

I take it you're a dirty recon, then? I enjoy knifing you fuckers and taking yer tags.

There's no more retarded sight in gaming when you see three snipers all huddled in the same bush, all looking down a scope at one spot while the enemy run around them and take objectives. It's like a gay wookie orgy or something.

As always, thank-you for your charming, constructive, mature response. I don't know if anyone's ever told you this, but your comments exude wisdom, intelligence and class.

Have you ever been on a debate team? If so, I bet it was the best damn debate team in town. Do me a favor, next time you're at one of those expensive clubs you always go to, show all the hot girls your N4G comment record, pictures of your gaming rig or your Star Trek DVD collection.

Trust me, it works.

If he was on a debate team he would get nothing but this...

GLoRyKnoT4808d ago

Thank you! cuz someone has 2 :) Tho i no longer use that class, i sure did <3 it @ first.

OT: No complaints. none. i like stuff :)

dkgshiz4808d ago

Yea,90% of them are useless. Plus they are easy to kill. Especially on Heavy Metal. Like when snipers take the helicopters up to the wind mills and jump out of the helicopters and land on top of them and start sniping. Easy as pie to kill them. Just take out the G3 or M14 with the 4x scope and murder. Or just use the iron sites. Also, their is nothing funnier then taking out 5+ bunched up snipers on Laguna Presa. So satisfying to take them out from behind and screwing their day over.

Lol. It did not say a word about popping tank shots off clear across the map. I have been lobbing tank shots on people since the first day of bfbc1.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC75d ago (Edited 75d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga75d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics75d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend74d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long75d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons75d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor75d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5274d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60274d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv7275d ago

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor75d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B74d ago (Edited 74d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

EA’s best multiplayer games have now shut down for good

Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.

OtterX149d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled149d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa149d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno148d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac148d ago (Edited 148d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast148d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial148d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv72413d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel413d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon412d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim412d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai413d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341413d ago (Edited 413d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai413d ago (Edited 413d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341413d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313413d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra412d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai412d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra412d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade412d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra412d ago (Edited 412d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno413d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz149413d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop412d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb412d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole413d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled413d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
