Bad Company 2

[BoaConstrictor]

Near impossible to get into a server these days if you wanna play Rush and do it lag free. All the low ping rush servers are always full, :/
I dont get people who buy a game only to leave it for the newest thing in a few months.

New map pack coming with 2 new maps (for real this time, they're actually new) as well as 2 maps from BC1:

More like "new" since the maps are from the single-player game.

Well then they are new!

Does anyone actually play single player?

I never even tried, lol...

Lol, yep, they're NEW to me since I didn't play the single player campaign.

Well the map back got released and these new maps are horrible if you like to run'n'gun. All totally designed for maximum camping/sniping.
Fail.

Every server has to run them too, because new=means better.

I really like them, different fighting style/tactics needed to stay alive.

On the contrary, I liked the other BC2 maps because they allowed for run'n'gun gameplay which is sorely missing from FPS games these days as they all but have been taken over by the camping style.

I am really liking the new maps. I have just discovered how much I enjoy hardcore mode using recon.

I play quake live if I want to run and gun

All you have done is ***** about this game. If you dislike it so much, don't play it. I haven't played in awhile, so I can't comment on the new maps. I can say that Battlefield has never been a "run and gun" game. Never. If you want to be good, you have to be fairly tactical. It's not ArmA, but it's not Call of Duty either. Just because the bunny hop/circle strafe technique that worked in Quake doesn't work in Battlefield doesn't mean that only camping will. When I stopped playing I had like a 354 skill rating and I'd barely scored any points using the Recon class. Even fewer using the Recon class with a sniper rifle.

I think I'm going to start playing again when the Vietnam expansion pack hits.

LMAO, so true!

IMO, run n gun doesn't have as much strategy as the BF series has, please don't try to ruin my favorite series by turning it into CoD! If somebody is camping, guess what? You can blow the eff out of the building they are camping in.

Such hostilities...tsk tsk... *** is this spectat dlc garbage??

Rofl.

Settle down ladies.

Complaining? Hardly. I like the game, and just because I criticize some elements of the game or the new maps doesnt mean I automatically hate it and should go play Quake. And strafing/bunny hop certainly works, you just need to use it in the right situations

I am not saying Battlefield is a "run n gun" game. Its not a "sniping/realistic simulator" either. Its both. Thats why I dislike maps that try to force a certain playstyle on you to follow, maps that dont open up to varying styles of play.

And yeah, I know you could take buildings out...but on one of these new maps there are no building. Everybody's just setting up campfires in the hills and it ends up with both teams sitting around which puts me to sleep. Maybe these maps are better suited for Conquest (I only play Rush, so I wouldn't know) but they are definetely vastly inferior to the original maps released with the game.

Adapt to the battleground, try a different class. Engineer with scoped g3 kicks *** on the big maps.

Team up and take out a chopper toghether. Loads of fun. Variety is the spice of life baby
