Yeah this game has now taken the place of BF2 as top game on my computer.
Tossing c4 onto the wall of a building where a squad is hiding and detonating it - killing 3 people and stunning the third - is an awesome feeling.
The whole thing feels smooth. It's too bad you can't toggle crouch, though. I'm always crouching as a sniper and it's wreaking havoc on my left pinky.
I like the spawn on any squadmember feature. I like the unlocks and how they're actually balanced out somewhat. I don't like how easily people with aim specialization and magnum ammo in their machine gun take me out, but that just makes me want to unlock that stuff myself.
Sometimes a man wants to cut a forest down with a machine gun, and BC2 lets me do just that.
I don't find the game to be balanced very well at all. Medic is soooo easy to get ridiculous scores just by throwing medpacks into groups of people and reviving anyone you see. None of the other classes can turn the tide of a game even close to the medic. Once I saw almost an entire team of just medics and they were pretty much unstoppable, just rolling over everyone. And it's not like they got the short end of the stick with their guns either. They actually get more accurate the longer you're shooting them for, plus a ton of ammo.
The people playing recon get a little out of hand sometimes, but it's a pretty fun class. I actually play recon with a shotgun or the thompson a lot, especially on offense. Motion sensor + mortar strike is pretty good on rush maps.
Assault is ok, pretty well-rounded I guess. I just feel like it doesn't have much that makes it even close to medic. Worse guns, smaller magazines, but has a noob-tube, and unlimited reloads, which is good if you like to camp chokepoints and spam explosives the whole game, or slowly eat away at buildings.
Engineer.... lol. I got enough unlocks to take down helicopters so I can switch to it when i keep getting camped by an apache. Other than that, playing engineer makes me want to poke my eyes out.
Aside from that, the maps seem balanced and fun, although conquest is stupid and basically just deathmatch. I love rush maps. The squad system seems like it's missing something, and there are no squad leaders I guess? I liked the bonuses you'd get in 2142 for being squad leader and doing certain stuff. The only incentive in this game to even set a squad objective is just for a few extra points, so everyone just runs around and does whatever. VOIP on PC is basically not working, which blows. Also, the unlocks are WAY too easy to get. I have recon and medic totally done and most of assault and some of engineer already and haven't played much.
Very fun though. A lot more fun and realistic than MW2.
