So i took your guys advice and picked up Bad Company 2......and actually very impressed.
Surprised how authentic the "war" atmosphere seems, and even with only 24 player servers max it still gets pretty chaotic. Especially like how they added the spotting with the back button technique from BF2, plus when you spot someone and someone else kills them you get assist points, genius! Only downfall is the attack chopper, shit was so fun in BF2, but I think since the level are too small they had to nerf it for this one. It will be interesting to see how the aircraft comes out in BF3, I think I saw somewhere that there will be jets too.
BC2 is making me really stoked for BF3, as long as they pull off the online MP like they did in bad company 2 with more features, better graphics and maps then I can't see myself going back to call of duty any time soon.
Max if you wanna play sometime hit me up, or any other of you guys with BC2.
