Modern Warfare 2 Vs Battlefield - Bad Company 2 - Which Has Better Multiplayer Gameplay?
This is an argument which I have listened to for the past several months now, and both sides have pretty points (they are BOTH great games).
There are a LOT of variables in these games, but we are going to stick to 5 basics in this comparison.
So let's start with: * Weapons-Lots of great choices for both games, no doubt about that.
BBC2 has more choices of guns, but the customization options in MW2 are far superior.
Another point to make is the sound the weapons in BBC2 are AWESOME!The weapons in MW2 have less recoil, and function more smoothly.
Also it seems easier to successfully use the variety of weapons for each skill class (or kit in BBC2) in Modern Warfare 2 than in Battlefield:Bad Company 2.
It is tougher to level up in BBC 2 if not playing the assault kit, and this becomes a problem later on when most of the team is all assault class.
Winner: Modern Warfare 2-Overall this is a really close call, but I personally give this one to Modern Warfare 2.
Mainly because of the greater consistency in kill ability between classes and greater customization options.
* Variety-Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer modes include: Free-For-All, Search & Destroy, Demolition, Sabotage, Domination, Team Deathmatch, and Capture The Flag, and several other customizations of these gametypes.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer modes include: Conquest, Rush, Squad Rush, and Squad Deathmatch.
Winner:Modern Warfare 2-Lots more variety of online game play for sure.
* Vehicles-No Brainer here! The only vehicles you get to ride/drive in MW 2 are for kill streaks, and even then not for very long.
BBC 2 has gun boats, tanks, trucks, jeeps, helicopter's, and more.
Top that MW 2! Hey Infinity Ward; why no vehicles for MW 2? Winner:Battlefield:Bad Company 2.
Sadly the only game even competing in this category.
* Maps-An interesting comparison her, as both games have lots of quality maps with plenty of open terrain and a variety of desert, jungle, and urban settings.
The maps and buildings on MW 2 are more detailed, however they are far less destructible.
One great thing about BBC 2 are the great explosions, and while there are too many empty buildings in BBC 2, it's fun to blow them up! Another feature to notice is there are lot's more places to hide (for you campers) in MW 2, especially outside.
Winner:Modern Warfare 2-Much more detailed and realistic maps overall.
* Exploits, Cheating, Noob-Tubing, Host Migration-For me this section is by FAR the most problematic where MW 2 is concerned.
Once in awhile is OK, but after 5 to 10 minutes of being constantly bombarded with rockets and grenades, it gets really old.
It would be nice if the game stopped pausing to migrate host's every 21/2 minutes also, as it is common for this to occur 2-4 times a match.
Something else which I have noticed a lot in the last 2 months in MW 2:yesterday I started a game of team death match.
Immediately I am spawned into the last 30 seconds of a match on the losing team, with a helicopter flying over the spawn point killing players.
After being INSTANTLY spawn killed twice in about 25 seconds, the whole game is now over with a loss on the record books.
Uhh, yeah.
This makes me want to throw the controller against the wall and scream!These are some of the nuances which rarely seem to happen in BBC 2; although to be fair MW 2 has a lot more players.
Winner:Battlefield Bad Company 2-Once again hands down.
Because if I see one more kid in Modern Warfare 2 with a hacked gamer tag with the little controller buttons in it, I will go berserk! Overall Winner: Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2!This is a tough call and really just personal opinion, but the addicting leveling up system and the incredibly smooth player control featured in COD is the primary reason for this decision.
Although quite frankly if the other nuances described at the end of this article are not fixed soon, I may change my mind about this!
