Bf42 and 'nam felt wooden. BC2 is pretty good with the destructibles.

I like it so far. Maps are very memorable and evocative of those great moments from movies on Vietnam, especially the Hill map. It sees you assaulting an easily defended hill, fighting through brush, jungle and foxholes, after which you have to cross a great-looking burnt field full of mortat holes. There are also the iconic rice fields. The music blasting from vehicles was chosen well and definitely adds to the atmosphere. You no longer have scopes, so the recon class finally makes more sense. Snipers now have to aid the guys in the jungle by spotting and picking off other snipers. The weapons feel solid, and there's less recoil on most of them, which is kinda popamolish, but also fine by me, because I hate it when a gun just shakes all over the place after just a couple of shots. I found it annoying in the original, even if it was realistic.
The textures are still shit, and moving across the terrain is still an enormous pain in the ass because you often find that you can't jump over some knee-high obstacles.
Overall a pretty solid product, though with less emphasis on destructible terrain, since there are much fewer buldings this time around.
EDIT: Oh and it seems that now most weapons can harm helicopters, and they're the open kind, so it's easier to bring down guys inside it. I've seen helis with two or more engineers reapiring it while others did the firing. I always found it annoying that the helis in BC2 were invulnerable to small arms fire, though I don't know if that's realistic.

I already said it but im gonna say it again. BC2 would be a really fucking solid product if not the technological fuck ups. Three things:
1. Performance (as in, low fps, fps drops etc.)
2. Net code (as in, lags, it feels like theres 100+ ping built in etc.)
3. General bugs (some related to netcode, for example it doesnt register hits properly VERY often).
These 3 things start to annoy you very quickly if you stop fucking around and actually play to have some fun and win. This game is destroyed for me because of those 3 flaws.

The misaligned iron sights were one of the reasons I quit.
true... had another look and it's just the original bc2 game that's about 30 bucks without the expansionExmit said:
still prefer the old unreal tournament expansion pack pricing... which was 40 bucks for the game and the 0 for the expansions
