5 reasons BFBC2 is better than MW2

February 23rd, 2010 at 2:53 pm - With Battlefield Bad Company 2 almost near for everybody to get their hands on it. When over 3.5 million downloads for the demo itself. By the looks of it Battlefield Bad Company 2 will be better then MW2 in many different ways but, here are 5 reasons that Battlefield Bad Company 2 is better than MW2.

• SOUND QUALITY

 The Sound in Battlefield Bad Company 2 is by far the best in any game. From the firing of the gun to a cannon fire off in the distance. The sound quality is  just awesome and MW2 does not even come close to the sound quality that Battlefield Bad Company 2 comes with. I can be half way across the map and here a explosion from the distance without even being there. When I am playing Modern Warfare 2 and when someone is firing a gun or an explosion half way across a map, I can’t hear it. This top quality sound will make the feel of a real battlefield and I do have to say that they did a great job in Battlefield Bad Company 2.

• BIGGER ENVIRONMENTS

When I played in both the beta and Demo I was like “WOW these are really big environments.” Ever since the first Battlefield Bad Company came out I always liked how big the environment were. Modern Warfare 2 has some but, nothing special that will blow your mind away. Ever since people have playing the Battlefield series they can say that the battlefield were big and new they are even bigger with technology today. I can see half way across the map with the scope of the sniper rifle and still see enemies coming to the next point.  DICE did a great job on the environment and how natural it feels to be on the playing field. Modern Warfare 2 might have great graphics but, a boring taste of environment, when Battlefield Bad Company 2 will have great graphics  also but, the environment show how to make a battlefield then just a  boring taste that Modern Warfare 2 brings.

• EVERYTHING MUST BLOW UP!

When I heard that DICE was making a Battlefield where you can blow up anything. I didn’t believe but, when the first Battlefield Bad Company came out, it was great to blow everything and everywhere. Now in Battlefield Bad Company 2 they make that destruction 10x times better. Modern Warfare 2 doesn’t have any destruction like taking down a whole building with C4. Modern Warfare 2 get a little boring without changing the environment. With Battlefield Bad Company 2 the environment is ever-changing and nothing will be the same. The fun begins with blowing stuff up and no more campers in that window anymore.

•  BETTER GAME ENGINE

When I look at the engine between Modern Warfare 2 IW 2.0 Engine and the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Frostbite 2.0 Engine. The Frostbite can hold more things on screen then the IW engine. With the IW engine the game sometimes not hold everything on screen and sometimes disappears when the smallest of objects. With the Frostbite 2.0 the engine is all ways stable and everything is always there and doesn’t disappear. Even when Online the game always has stable engine online. With Modern Warfare 2 there is always a error when too many things are going off cause the Engine can’t really handle it. The Frostbite 2.0 will handle airdrops, UAV missiles, 3 Tanks, 3 Helicopters, 24 players and more.

• ONLINE

Between the online game Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2 have much of the same but, Battlefield Bad Company 2 wins here cause of the fun and every you do in the single player can be on in the multi-player. The games mode are unique and fun to play. Unlike Modern Warfare 2 boring 5 year game modes that dated back with the first Unreal Tournament and Call of Duty. Battlefield Bad Company 2 also has a much stable online cause it will take me and my friends about 10 mins to find a room. The problems would be 1.) we lost like about 1-5 people or the whole party 2.) Match making doesn’t always find a game. With Battlefield Bad Company 2 the match making is simple just hop on and find a room and easy. (Plus on the side note: Battlefield Bad Company 2 had a Public beta when Modern Warfare 2 didn’t.)
FINALLY
Now with the Top 5 Reason Battlefield Bad Company 2 is better than Modern Warfare 2 is done. You can comment on it if you like, good or bad, I don’t care but, keep it clean. I will also be posting a Top 5 Reason Modern Warfare 2 is better than Battlefield Bad Company 2 soon. So that both sides of the story is look at. Battlefield Bad Company 2 is coming March 2, 2010 and Modern Warfare 2 is out now if you didn’t alreay pick it up.

BFBC2 vs MW2

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is shaping up to be one of the best shooters of 2010 but has it got what it takes to challenge the mighty giant which is Modern Warfare 2? It is polishing up to be a very worthy sequel from Bad Company 1

Single Player
Not a whole lot has been revealed about Battlefield’s single campaign but it will still follow the classic group from Bad Company 1, the “B” squad ensuring some humour again. Described as “intense” the campaign mode sees the player travel from snowy mountains to dense jungles with an aim of preventing a world war.
Compared to the single player of Modern Warfare 2 it sound’s far superior, many more environments and the variety of vehicles are a few of the things different to MW2. However, I do not think BFBC2 will be anywhere near as intense as MW2’s campaign nor do I think there will be as many show-stopping moments as there were in MW2 which literally made me drop my mouth open.
Character Movement
Both games are first person but the movement on BFBC2 is a lot different to MW2. For a first time player to the Battlefield series this can be seen as very daunting but when given a good chance you’ll see that the settings feel right, perhaps up the sensitivity? Once you’ve played BFBC2, MW2 will feel as if you’re a ghost with the ease of movement on there.
Class Customisation
This is where BFBC2 exceeds greatly in my opinion, there are four set classes; medic, mechanic, assault and sniper. Each one comes with different abilities, for example the medic comes with health packs and a defibrillator which allows you to revive downed team-mates whilst the mechanic comes with an RPG and a repair drill which allows you to repair vehicles. There are no different camouflages for weapons because they’re simply not needed, there is however, an extensive range of guns, gadgets and attachments. All of which add a different depth and are unlocked by playing different classes or achieving different streaks and all unlocks can be fine tuned to the players requirements.
Map Size
Simply put, each game perfects the sizing. BFBC2 would be unplayable on a small map just as MW2 would be unplayable on a large map.
Destruction & Vehicles
Destruction really adds a whole new depth to the playing field and boy, it sometimes is satisfying, bringing a house crushing down with multiple enemies inside. Not all buildings in BFBC2 are destructable so there’s still somewhere to try and hide, destruction would be nice in Modern Warfare 2 but with the current maps and the amount of buildings it would be pretty impossible.
The ability to drive your own vehicles on BFBC2 is a great addition to the multi-player world. Since the maps are so large vehicles are practically a requirement, but, the ability to control your own UAV is a fantastic option. Again, due to the map size of MW2 vehicles would be pretty impossible to use!
Multiplayer
The “Goldrush” mode from BFBC1 makes a return in the sequel however, it has lost the gold from the title. The aim of the game remains the same, destroy two crates at each base, either by shooting them or planting a charge on them. A smaller scale version has also been announced called Squad Rush, whereby two teams of four compete over one crate. Whilst MW2 does have more game modes I have never seen someone who plays each game type, normally someone finds their favourite and sticks with it.
Post Launch Support
Well, with BFBC1 we received a free map pack and a new game mode which is set to continue into BFBC2 with the developers, DICE, promising a mixture of both paid and free addon’s including stuff for the single player campaign! At this stage of the game, I find it highly unlikely, given the greed of Activision (an extra £5 on the game in the UK, why?), that MW2 will receive any free packs, or at least any major addon’s.
Conclusion
Both games are very different beasts and whichever online you prefer I think comes down to mindset. If you prefer to be a bit more tactical then BFBC2 is for you since the maps are much bigger and the enemies can never have all the map covered allowing you to get past them. MW2 is basically running and shooting, which after playing BFBC2, I don’t see the fun in – but to each his own, eh?
Whilst BFBC2 is a fantastic game I do not believe it will surpass MW2’s sales. For starters, the hype around MW2 nailed many pre-orders well before anyone could complain about anything they found unfair within the game, for me personally, the online is so unbalanced.
Also because the movement in BFBC2 is quite different to what the majority of people are used to, they are not giving it a chance, they’re simply giving up which is probably going to be the games biggest downfall in terms of sales.
If you’re interested in giving it a go, download the demo from the PSN or from the XBL Marketplace or try the PC beta.
Battlefield Bad Company releases in North America on March 2nd followed by Europe on March 5th. If you’re interested in more options ingame preorder the Limited Edition which comes with ingame unlocks. It is available for the same prices as the standard edition.

Yamauchi Hits Out At Gran Turismo Competitors

Yamauchi Hits Out At Gran Turismo Competitors

Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi has hit out at driving games released since Gran Turismo 4 in 2004, saying that the 'low level of quality really shines through'.
In an interview with Eurogamer.dk, Yamauchi was asked whether he may implement features from different games in future Gran Turismo games, he replied;

"Actually I find it difficult to play the other games in more than five minutes at a time. The game's low level of quality really shines through in the other games and I can not hold them out!"

You'll have to wait and find out whether Gran Turismo 5 lives up to the standard of the incredible series when it releases later this year in Europe and America.

BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY weapons of war

In total there are 62 items including the gadgets that for some reason includes rocket launchers along with sensors. For guns, the total available in the game right now is 45 which is pretty damn good. I will say I'm a little annoyed that they left out two BF2 mainstays like the G36-E and the L85A1. Now I'm a stock gun kind of guy and will stick with the M16 or whatever stock gun is available for the different kits but still, I enjoyed spicing it up every now and then.

In case you were wondering, the promised addition of the BF1943 guns was fulfilled with the 45 pistol, M1A1 Tommy gun and the M1 Garand all appearing in the images below. You might also be happy to know that the M95 Barrett will still be able to shoot pilots out of the cockpit - the only gun you can do that with.

Instead of breaking this up into 8 separate posts, one for each category, I'm being lazy and will dump them all right in this one so check them out below.
