All PS3 Trophies

BFBC2 is better – vehicles, destructable buildings, squad up abilities, and large progressive maps to prevent camping, and team work encouragement.  However, if the servers suck like they did for the original, then horrible lag will ruin it.  I pray this is not the case.

bfbc2 MP is nothing different to the first, and the SP doesnt look appealing thats why im not getting it. MW2 all the way.

Ha, there's always one, Doc

I platted MW2, and I have BFBC2 here but haven't played it yet, i found MW2 really good, great graphics and gameplay, weapons were good aswell, but there just isn't a 'better' one, MW2 is fun because of the killstreaks (nothing like nuking the entire map) but from what i've seen about BFBC2, it really looks fun to get in a chopper and mow down enemies, but as i said, 2 really good games, and me being a fan of FPS's I bought 'em both, MW2 is starting to get fun online when you get a descent rank, unlock more weapons and being able to get better killstreaks, i'm an aviatian lover so being able to kick some ass from the skies is always a positive lol..

Just buy the one you want, you won't regret if you buy MW2 or BFBC2, both very good games and very well made, also remember, MW2 is more then a year old (that's a relic in gaming world) so BFBC2 'should' be better..

No. Both might be good games (debatable), but they are both terribly made.

MW2 had about 6 patches in the first month, is rife with boosting and glitching and still buggy as crap.

BC2 needs 6 patches in the first month, but DICE being true to form have already abandoned the game.

Should they release a patch, it'll only fix a few of the annoying glitches, but still leave the game breakers (if BC1 is anything to go by).

Advice for BC2 online, quit every 3-4 games. When you quit it saves your progress. If you don't quit, you'll get dropped from the server (which is inevitable) and you'll lose everything you'd achieved.

A lot of you might be too young to remember a time when a game was released, it was the finished product. It would have been in development for about 3 years, and reached the market perfect.

Now, the game gets released about 3/4 way through it's dev cycle, you then buy the game, discover everything that's wrong with it, and wait for them to patch what they can't get away with ignoring.

Or, like DICE, never patch and leave a game where anyone can intentionally crash a server causing your console to freeze.

The SP was AWESOME and how can you say its MP hasnt changed? The way they did the squads is more user friendly,they added 2 new modes, fixed the headset issue found in BF1943, and they added new maps, guns, and unlocks. I sometimes prefer BC2 but other times i prefer mw2. Depends on my mood lol

arent some of them expected?

fixed headset issue? wtf.

titles, emblems, killstreak loadouts, host migration, prestige challenges, about 10 more gamemodes than bfbc2 anyways, better/different gun attachments + alll the things you said up there. i'll leave it there.

I spose it just depends on what you want MW2 is definatley the more tactical shooter (although most often not played that way) and BBC2 is more of a hectic game.

  Personally im loving BBC2 atm because of the action in it and so far i havent had a problem with Glitchers and Campers robbing me of my fun because they don't know how to play.

what do you mean by tactical? I think MAG and BFBC2 are the more tactical.

Mw2 is for casuals and is a Run'N'Gun shooter. Youre basically youre own team in most games unless youre playing with a clan.

Are you on drugs?  The word “tactical” should never be associated with MW2.  Its a run and gun twitch shooter with tons of glitchers doing whatever they can to score higher than you rather than have fun with the game.  Its one of the most frustrating things in video gaming I've encountered in years.  I've never seen something released with so many flaws thats clearly riding on the success of its predecessors and still receive so much praise for innovation where there is none, for quality where there is none, and for fun where there is none.  Its impossible to have fun with this game when people are purposefully getting stuck in walls so you can't kill them, but they can kill you and end the round with a glitched nuke.  Its ridiculous to praise this absurd crap and then call it tactical.  THERE IS NO TACTICS HERE.  There is no balance in this game, no team work, its every man for himself and whoever shoots first wins.  Sorry for that rant, I realize you weren't offering praise for the game, just that comment annoyed the crap out of me.

Tactics – noun – a plan, procedure, or expedient for promoting a desired end or result.

In BFBC2 and MAG, if you want to win on a consistent basis, you need a plan and communication.  Such behavior is highly encouraged by squad organization, and receiving extra experience for working together and taking squad objectives.  Communicating what class type you will use and balancing a squad for multiple roles is rewarding.  Going non-tactical will result in getting squat done.  Going solo  will cause you to die.  I could go into a large amount of detail but won't – its fairly simple to see.  In BFBC2, all class types serve some sort of supportive role that is good for your TEAM – medics heal and resuscitate, recon motion detects and scopes enemies, assault resupplies with ammo, and engineers repair vehicles and dispose of enemy vehicles.  Planning how to use these abiliities in order to achieve victory is tactics.  I can tell a huge difference in both BFBC2 and MAG when I'm with a team who is working together and when I'm with one who's not – by who's ass gets wooped how hard.

@LaurensMalter – no.  It would not be unthinkable to publish a game that way.  In fact, its been happening for the entire span of video gaming history.  The difference is that now games are bigger, more complicated projects, therefore creating many many more chances for errors and glitches to occur – especially when getting online with many players doing many different things at the same time.  Before the advent of the internet on a console it was unthinkable to patch a game.  If it had a glitch when released, it was screwed, end of story.  If it had many glitches it would be enough to murder sales, and for the market to forget about said game. 

The main thing here is… do the patches work?  In MW2's case – not so much.  Sure it fixes one thing, but theres always another glitch, and they're game breaking (so IW can suck my left nut).  BFBC2… well… it looks like we'll have to wait and see – but currently there aren't any real game breaking glitches (yea thats right mojo), unlike MW2.   There are some technical issues, such as an overpowered M60 and spawn camping, but those aren't glitches. Apparently some people get booted from the servers from time to time, but what game doesn't do that?  And really, I've never had that problem.  Dice has plenty of planned additional content coming up that I won't have to pay for, and hopefully they'll address the issues people are posting on the forums… but I worry they won't, since they don't respond to anyone on the forums.  Even if they don't though, it is a well made game.  It worked from day 1, still works now, and I've had zero issues.  cool.
