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.

I couldn't get into a game by myself last night, but I could joining friends.

I played Assault, and I use the XM8. It isn't a great gun, but it is the best one I have unlocked (tried F2000 but it is only good for pretty short range IMO). I then started to use the shotgun, and was getting a lot of kills by the other team camping the point. Thing is, I started using it outside of that, and I shot a guy literally 5 feet in front of my running at me, and it didn't kill him. He was down to 4% health, but seriously? I aimed for the head too...that's ridiculous. I loved shotgunning in KZ2 because the maps were so close, but have always hated it in large scale games because they nerf the damn things so much...I'm 50/50 on it now, but we'll see...

It's not the destructible environments that do it. You can't even vault over non-destructible areas. But w/e.

As for squads methinks it'd have been better to axe squads and allow you to spawn/interract with your entire team, but that's just me.

So, I played a good bit again last night and my opinion changed for the better a good bit I suppose. Joined a squad with my buddy and tried to slow down how I was playing and ended up doing pretty well. We won quite a few games, it was surprisingly fun. VERY different than MW2 (which I still like more) but fun nonetheless. I'm still not quite sure what class I work best with. I've mostly done assault and I unlocked both the XM8 and F2000 last night. I also use a bit of Medic and I had tons of luck last night using a stolen Sniper class.

Mayhaps I'll hold on to it for a while.

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.

Yea this game is very much team based. You'll die a lot without good team support.

Luray, VA. If you've never heard of it, 30 min north of JMU.

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:

So far I'm not really feeling this game. When you find a good match with players who get it, it's awesome.. but most assholes just take vehicles and don't wait for anyone else or just don't even try to give a shit about the objectives. It's like 90/10 shitty to fun games right now. I'll try to play with some of you guys since I'm betting you all aren't like that.
