Some of the connection issues have been getting annoying as well. The destruction in this game alone pretty much has me sold. I think I'm gonna try renting this out. Only thing is I have a feeling all the copies of the game will be rented, lol.

Grenade launchers aren't annoying. I use them a lot but only to blow up a wall or an entire building.

Yeah, I don't mind dying in this game. I'd throw a tantrum every time I get killed in the other game. I do however, get a little pissed at the respawning time.

In BFBC2 I see pretty often where I run into someone, we both shoot at the same time, and we both die. Just feels more legit, I dunno. Like Dookie said, I don't really get pissed at dying. Usually I deserve it, or if I'm mad it's because my death lets them disarm the bomb (or arm it). I don't think there are any "cheap" deaths that really annoy me. If a sniper keeps getting me, I take the long way behind him and calmly discuss my displeasure concerning his actions. Discuss with my knife, that is.

Absolutely agree with you guys on all accounts. I have a freakin' blast playing this game, whether I'm dying, killing, winning or losing. It's absolutely awesome.

I love this part of the game, it's awesome when you see yourself fall to your death and at the sametime you see your opponent fall to their death.

Arica Harbour is one of those maps where there's always 2-3 guys up on the hills at the beginning of each game sniping, so I do what you do. Run to the right side, and then knife each one of them in the back. I usually tea bag one of them too since they can see me

Haven't played it or watched too many videos but I scratched the surface with the first Bad Company game (before I had Live) and that was pretty fun. Right now I'm in full MW2 mode and that game has got me into an addiction of online shooters and seeing all the destruction in this game has me really curious. So my question is....better than MW2?

It's mainly preference. Asking people in the BC2 thread if it's better than MW2 won't really get you anywhere. lol. Just read up on some reviews and watch more videos or even rent the game. I think IGN scored BC2 an 8.9(MW2 got a 9.5). Personally I think there's just as many campers if not more in BC2 than MW2(albeit it's more tactical camping but still). And there's still connection/server issues with this game. Just small little complaints here and there with BC2 and that's about it. I usually don't like BF games, but this one is definitely pretty good and something to look at. I too am still in full MW2 mode which is why I haven't bought BC2 yet. I only play it at friends. Once I start getting bored with MW2, I may buy this game(not sure when that's gonna be though as new maps are coming out for MW2 soon. ).

So as I said, mainly preference. BC2 is a much more slow paced team oriented game than MW2. If that sounds like something for you then you won't be disappointed. Just know that it'll probably take a bit for you to get used to BC2 because the gameplay and style of it is so different than MW2.

There is nothing, NOTHING better than sneaking up behind a sniper and killing them with a defibrillator.

Yeah I do love leveling up and all the challenges in MW2. It makes it addicting but so much of the other nonsense just ruins it. Plus I'm getting a little tired of most of the maps. Everyone pretty much always goes to the same spots every time and it just gets old. At least with this game the destruction will change things up and keep it fresh.

Commando is easily one of the gayest perks in MW2.

Tanks, ATVs, helis and a UAV plane.
