Battlefield Bad Company 2

They get better as you level though I thought? I dunno, this game isn't for hardcore fans of MW2, but more along the lines of MW/Halo. Which is why I dig it. Having giant ass maps = so much better than small MW styled ones IMO. Plus, VEHICLES! haha

The big maps are cool and the vehicles are the shit. Careful with the chopper. Very hard to fly.

Snipers still weak as fuck?

[Abraham Smashington]

Wouldn't know. Snipers are for pussies.

But yeah, you can't go prone still. Fine by me. Who want's to be a fucking sniper when you can ROCK A GODDAMN TANK?!

Communists. That's who.

[B_Metal]

I get your point but if the mechanic is broken then why even include the class? Just saying.

[Abraham Smashington]

I was getting killed by a shit load of snipers last night. Just not snipers laying down.

[B_Metal]

Sniping was ineffective in the demo, it's why I asked. Snipers not laying down is like a regular soldier not having a back-pack full of shit to use.

[Abraham Smashington]

They were using the houses as cover. So I BLEW THEM THE FUCK UP.

[B_Metal]

Blowing houses up is a huge plus.

Sniping isn't weak in the single player at least. There is an awesome sequence in the campaign where you can head up to a sentry post and play overwatch while a huge wave of enemies come toward your team. And a second sniping second where you have to be silent, and shoot when thunder claps to conceal the shot.

And I love the sights. It actually kind of threw me off a few times how fast you go from looking down an ACOG to open sights to quickly scan for new targets. I'm itching to get home to play, and if this sinus infection doesn't clear this afternoon I'm calling in sick to go to the doctor and have them prescribe me some multiplayer.

[BillyG]

Beat the campaign. Good time was had. Now to MP.

Oh, and when you beat the game you end up in Nacogdoches (wtf?!) and there is a huge mountain in the background (WTF?!)

[Abraham Smashington]

Shit, I'll try and play with ya tonight Billy. I haven't really played any of the single player yet, but was going through some MP last night. Seriously, this game is pretty great.

[BillyG]

Cool, hopefully I will be on tonight. The doctor gave me some goddamn horse tranquilizers and I don't know what they are going to do to me.

[Abraham Smashington]

MAKE YOU A FPS GOD HOPEFULLY.

ME DRIVE TAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK
