Yeah, I am really used to MW2, but I just don't like how BC2 handles. Here's a small example, in CoD 4/MW2 if you want to say, jump through a window you just walk up to it and hit A. In BC2 I've got to jump and attempt to land on the sill, once there I've got to push the right stick in to crouch and walk through...it takes probably 3x as long.
I was in a squad with friends from the AVS boards, they seemed to know what they're doing (we won most of the games) but nonetheless the squads still seem a bit pointless. As for spawning on a squadmate fixing the MW2 squad problems it seems like most people were more upsets with squadmates spawning right next to them in MW2, although I've never really minded.
Well the reason why you just need to press A to jump in a window cus the game knows where all the windows are. In BC2, things get blown up and new openings appear all the time. Impossible for the game to know where the openings are going to be. I'll take jumping, crouching, and walk through a window any day over no destructible environments.
Also how do squads seem pointless??? You can talk to them and set up strategies. You get more points for doing things with and for them. It's your own little team and makes the game better. I've never seen someone get upset by spawning on them. It really helps cus you can hide somewhere, get all your team together and tear up the place.
buc .. just realized you are another Virginian, where you located? Richmond for me.
Just don't see too many of us on Anandtech.
Well I broke down and got it today as well. Had a 10% off BB coupon and $20 worth of RWZ certs. We'll see how it goes.
Problem I see with this will be you really have to play with a team to make this work well - and not just random strangers.
I'll have to see who could use a newbie teammate.

45 kills (20 deaths) in a round, woo! Have never gotten more than that. Using the XM8 with red dot...really awesome actually, thought I hated that weapon. Killed someone with the smoke launcher. :awe:
