KILL DEATH RATIO
It doesn’t quite feel
as unbalanced as Call of
Duty and I find that the
maps are always designed
in ways that make each
game feel different.

in vanilla BC2, largely because I find
it hard to navigate without the minimap.
Even in BC2, I still sometimes
find it hard to orientate myself in
each level, and to call out positions to
my team-mates. This is why I love the
compass addition to the mini-map
in Vietnam so much, and makes me
wish this could be brought into BC2
retroactively. I can yell out “enemy
entering east of bravo”, instead of
“enemy coming up from that bit of
river that meets the big rock behind
the village”.
And yes, the choppers being vulnerable
this time is great. It’s changed the
whole pace of the game. Teams
concentrate their fire on the common
threat; people aren’t merely running
to take control of enemy choppers to
dominate the map nfairly.
Dylan: I would have far less hours
than you guys, as I uniformly suck at
multiplayer shooters. I enjoy them,
but I rarely get many kills and I find
that I lose patience quite quickly.
That said, I do enjoy Bad Company
2’s multiplayer. It doesn’t quite
feel as unbalanced as Call of Duty
and I find that the maps are always
designed in ways that make each
game feel different. With Battlefield 3
just officially announced, Call Of Duty
had better watch its back.
