Bad company is what ruined BF. It consolized the game and they ran with it for future games instead having seperate things.

How? It played great on PC
You both are right. I mean BC2 moved BF away from what a lot of people played it for. big maps, large player count. I think BC2 was capped at 32 players. that half of what BF 1942 had. it moved the series into a game that consoles could run. theres no denying that. BC2 was still a fun game though.Sounds to me like people want a combat simulator or something along the lines of ARMA. That's boring to me. Battlefield never was even close to a simulator. BC2 was a ton of fun and what a video game should be. Fun.
Never had problems with weapon accuracy with BC2 on PC. If you had it for the console, you had it for the wrong platform.
I agree with this.EA definitely needs to listen to their playerbase on this one, the players have been asking for something else than what theyre developing.
I agree with this.
I got an order of magnitude more fun out of BF3/4 than I did 1 or 5. Something's missing and I hope they get it back.
Also please just give me 2143 already.
problem is it won't be like 1942/bf2/2142. 2142 was the best one, it was extremely well balanced, commander was there, titans moving around, was awesome. My wife almost divorced me over 2142 because I was so obsessed with playing. Hell, I was so active with 2142, EA made me a forum moderator.
I couldn't get into bf4 either, I don't know why. I put so many hours into BF3. maybe I was tired of the modern setting.I played most of the battlefields except for 2142. Peak Battlefield for me was the end of BC2 and the start of BF3. BC2 played similar to BF3 but it had more destructible items and I felt the kit loadouts were better. There was one map with a capture point on a hill that on increased ticket servers would be completely destroyed by the end, no cover in site. BF4 was fine but for some reason I didn't play it much.
Same here. I didn't play much of 4 but spent quite some time in 3. Good SP story though. Hardline was a hoot. BF 1is good too(Maybe my favorite of the 3). Maybe 6 will combine some of 3and 1 and maybe a bit of hardline for the vehicles.I couldn't get into bf4 either, I don't know why.

Honestly, if I had never learned BC2 was on console, I would have never known from playing it on PC that it was. At the time I thought the destructible environments were incredible and the controls for the PC were pretty tight. I think I played BF4 once or twice. Wasn't as impressed, seemed more like Counterstrike with pretty graphics.BF3/4 blew BC2 out of the water, in every way.
BC2 was always a console first game. It was a good one, but a proper PC shooter is always superior.

Yes, I've played Counter-Strike, a few timesNeither are similar to CS, but BC2 is closer to CS that BF3/4 are. Both lack prone, have inaccurate weapons, smaller maps, smaller player counts, BC2 less vehicle emphasis, ect.
BC2 is still very different from CS (have you ever played CS or BF3/4?), but is closer in every possible feature.
On BC2 you were lucky to get maps with 3 tanks. Many typically had 2 per map. The vehicular gameplay played a much smaller role. If you liked BC2, BF1 is probably something you'd like. To a lesser extend, BF5. Both were scaled back and more infantry focused like BC2. Maps were smaller are more funneled. Kind of an inbetween of BC2 and BF3/4. I didn't like BF1 or 5. Have around 30 hours in BF5.
Yes, I've played Counter-Strike, a few timeswhen it came out in 1999. Never played BF1 (the WW1) game. I guess I liked BC2 so much because it came out at the right time, a lot of my friends played it at the time.
It's weird to say this considering some of the stuff I've been lucky enough to experience in my life... but some of the most fun I've ever had was playing 2142. Easily put over 10,000 hours into it before it went down. Maxed out 5 different characters, e-sports 8v8 titan, etc.problem is it won't be like 1942/bf2/2142. 2142 was the best one, it was extremely well balanced, commander was there, titans moving around, was awesome.

Have you ever gone back and listened to the commander spotting constantly spamming? It's awesome.Battlefield died after BF2 for me.
Hell yeah, and then DICE solved it by permanently getting rid of the commander role.Have you ever gone back and listened to the commander spotting constantly spamming? It's awesome.
This. Bringing back private servers could single-handedly restore the BF series IMHO....6 mths after initial launch once all the patches are released lol!IMO this game died when they stopped allowing dedicated servers. How the hell do you expect people have a community?.....I still have quite a few friends who play BF4 because of that.
I will look forward to seeing how it is.
I never ran into the supposed crashing issues the brigades loved to talk about... I had a blast from launch day onward.BF4 was a turd when it launched. People forgot it took almost a year of patching to get right.
This. The bugs, glitches, nerfs, buffs, changes - especially right at launch - are actually the best time for new BF games in my experience. It's wild west. If you played every day, the bugs would just blur and fade into the background, you rose above them and they actually became an advantage for knowing them. And some glitches were just outright fun exploiting until they were patched or nerfed.I never ran into the supposed crashing issues the brigades loved to talk about...

When you play every day, all that stuff becomes an advantage, or it's just outright fun as hell exploiting glitches or bugs before they're patched or nerfed.
It's a bad time to be releasing a hardware ambitious game when no one can buy the new cards
I thought bf4's was really good.interesting. not sure if I want "cod fluid movement"
Welcome back, old friend. Damn I've missed Battlefield Heli's.
Battlefield Vietnam was fun! In part because you could go full-on Apocalypse Now and blast "Ride of the Valkyries" from your helicopter. Or "Fortunate Son" from your Jeep.At least it's not Vietnam or Korean War or even Desert Storm.
