Don't forget: DEDICATED SERVERS

Fuck, babbies don't even know what that is anymore.

Imagine a 64vs64 match. Consoles couldn't even begin to handle that shit.

>>15006883

If this game had the building destruction of 3 and 4 it essentially would've been the perfect game.

>Better than vietnam

I don't think so kid.

>>15006923

This is true

>>15006900

The concept was really good with having to capture the ships by launching up to them. Sadly it didn't catch on.

>>15006883

>>15006900

Remember when every Battlefield game didn't have the exact same fucking boxart?

>>15006883

I never had a chance to play BF2 online.

Vanilla BF was always shit. The only good things that came out of the series are Project Reality and Forgotten Hope 2.

>>15007067

I can forgive expansions for having similar boxart, but Vietnam looking similar is dumb.

High point of the series

I personally think BF4 was the perfect Battlefield. The tone was perfect. The only issue was the lack of mod support and private servers.

>>15007248

I'm pretty sure that it's not only similar, but that the guy is the exact same image with a few lines drawn on his face and a different helmet shopped onto him.

Are the Revive servers still up? I played on them even after the CnD, but they didn't offer the downloads of the game anymore. i hope the next active shooter is in EA offices.

>>15007248

Vietnam uses the same engine and graphics.

>>15006900

>Spywarefield

2142 sold even less than fucking 2004 Vietnam.

>>15007396

>I played 1984

Is that a typo or a mod?

>>15006930

I liked vietnams deployables system. And also the music system. Americans could place mortars and move them around. The viet cong could place caltrops, punji spikes, or booby trap vehicles to explode as soon as someone got in them.

Is the recreation like this? I doubt it.

There was the menu to play music on the loudspeakers like ride of the valkyries, it aint me, surfin bird, war, the letter, white rabbit, etc. In BF2 you could place c4 on vehicles and allahu ackbar into tanks or groups. So many servers banned that behavior.

If you played anything beyond the BF2 serious you are a faggot.

>>15007446

What's the matter anon? Couldn't keep the firebase?

>>15007446

Also you could change your characters appearance to be a nigger in vietnam, BF2 lacked the customisation options

>>15007424

>Is that a typo or a mod?

typo

As much as I loved BF2 I still enjoyed the fuck out of BFBC2 and BF3, and to a lesser extent BF4. Obviously my biggest bitch about BF4 is how long it took them to patch the bullshit. I didn't touch Hardline or 1. Won't touch V. Sue me for wrongthink.

>>15007509

>Meme at Karkand

>>15007002

>dolphin diving

That was fixed you know.

>>15007336

Revive got shutdown because they were distributing the whole game on their website, but you can still look up servers over BF2Hub.

It was the high point of the series. But it became irrelevant once Project Reality, which improved every aspect of the game, came around.

BF2 had scores of better mods than that shitty tedium simulator.

>>15007349

You're right, it's not the game that took all of BF2's flaws and multiplied them 10-fold.

>>15007588

<Blow your brains out you cancerous shitstains.

>he sucked at BC2

cry moar. it's an objectively good game. especially the Vietnam mod.

>>15006887

Modern BF console games have been using dedicated servers though.

>>15007593

well now you know. you trippy son of a bitch.

>>15007617

But do they have 64vs64? 128 players?

>>15007741

As someone who played BF2 in its prime, the Bad Company games were cancerous trash that signaled the death knell of the series.

>>15007780

Plus opened the gate for casual normal fags…

>>15007787

No, that was BF3.

http://vgsales.wikia.com/wiki/Battlefield

>>15007780

>>15007787

>I played to old ones so when I say its shit without reasoning it must be true

Yeah yeah, everyone here played bf2, it was clunky as fuck and bad company was less so without going full aids like the ones after them.

Sure it was the beginning of the downfall but they were still good battlefield games.

>>15007800

Okay… then tell me about the map sizes. :^)

>>15007625

No. But I thought it was worth noting.

>>15007813

Oh yeah, I love the fact that some spawn points literally have one vehicle which some retard takes and drives into a fuckin river and you're forced to sprint to the next vehicle spawn with your limited stamina and halfway through a jet / some nigger whos grown rooted to the ground and has had 0 kills in the last 10 minutes of sniping kills you. Fantastic.

Lets be honest, for infantry the map sizes just sucked ass.

If you liked flying / driving vehicles its a lot better ofcourse, problem is a lot larger portion of the team will be on foot and I only played infantry.

>>15007484

i actually only played BC1 havent tried bc2

>>15007834

This isn't even an issue if you play in squad…

Oh wait! It is an issue if you are a cod nigger not joining in a squad and work with the team.

Btw the fact the battlefield is so fucking big the major fights could change places during the round is the best fucking thing. It's prevent shits like contstanly camping in one building ore suppress one flag. If you team has half brain then you actually can pull out shits like pincer attacks, flanking or bait and switch. This is why i loved the first game, this is why we played the Wake Island demo in the whole summer ignoring other games. Of course it was on LAN, but hell! No games gave us that moments. When you feel really tiny on the map. Good times!

btw i just pulling your leg, of course you are right. When you play with reatard, jogging half the map is not fun

>>15007701

What BF2 did:

-made Assault an almost pointless class by giving Medic nearly the same guns

-bad air-ground balance by tying the same counter (homing missiles) to both helicopters and jets

-rank and unlock system that gives a clear advantage to players who've played longer and makes players shy away from unranked servers and killed the fantastic mod scene that previous Battlefield games had

What 2142 did:

-decided the solution to class imbalances was to dumb down the number of classes

-decided the solution to air-ground imbalances was to get rid of an entire class of vehicles

-took the unlock system and magnified its cancer tenfold: upgrades are a massive timesink gateway advantage in 2142 to a far worse degree than BF2

>>15007854

Even Heavy Metal, which has plenty of open space, makes up for it by being the map with the most available vehicles in it.

>>15007887

>This isn't even an issue if you play in squad…

Wish I played on the same servers as you then.

I always played in a squad but very rarely did I see co-operation beyon your usual sticking loosely together and giving ammo and shit, like if I wasnt in the direct path of a guy driving somewhere he would just ignore me squad member or not even if I asked for a ride.

>>15008020

>>15007887

>BF2 squad

>Squad leader is always in some buttfuck nowhere place, away from a perfectly capturable flag

>If he dies, squad spawning is unavailable until he's back, at which point it's pointless to even do it since he'll respawn at a flag anyway

Really the only advantage of being a squad leader is that people can cry to the Commander so he'll drop UAV/Arty/supply crates for them. Nobody really cares if they're in a squad or not, they fuck off immediately after spawning anyway.

>>15008043

Best times I had when I played squad leader but I usually avoided it since I'm a shit shot sometimes and dont want the responsibility.

Best one was when I was hiding near an enemy flag and a squad mate tells me to stop camping, I ignore him and try to stay alive so they can spawn on me. After a while I'm found and cant hold out inside the building forever so I die in a blaze of glory.

Same guy calls me a faggot for dying and not being there for him to spawn on.

For some reason my Gamesradar exe crashes whenever I try to play BF2 and BF2142, but I was top of the server every round when it was revived last year. Is there something similar for BFBC2?

BC2's biggest problem is how hard it is to get a decent Rush match anymore. It's usually a complete one sided curbstomp and a lot of the conquest servers are mostly 1000 TICKETS THAT ONE MAP WITHOUT ANY VEHICLES 24/7 shit.

>>15007248

>but Vietnam looking similar is dumb

It's literally the exact same guy in the exact same pose lol, also fuck the haters of Vietnam, I loved it, basically "it ain't me" the game

>>15008153

Except that's joint ops

>>15006883

>if you're under 40 ur underage hue hue

I loved spawn camping with c4 explosives, really pissed people off that way.

>>15007002

>shitty netcode

Oh God how could I forget that.

>>15007499

You know how I know you're gay?

>>15007905

Use BF2Hub. GameRanger is also an option but the vast majority of servers use BF2Hub.

I unironically enjoyed BC1's story mode

>>15008894

Yeah, the servers are still up and kicking.

>>15009366

Just play DCon.

>>15007616

You played BF3 and BF4, you're cancer

>>15007741

>camperfield: snipe company 2: operation hideforever better than anything

the only thing BFBC2 did really well was the destruction gimmick. everything else was a step backwards

>>15011607

The whole game was tailored to deny camping you fucking idiot.

>>15007741

>making the godawful mistake of 2142 by tying medic to the class most braindead retards/non-sniper killwhores will pick

>good

>>15007989

>bf2hub

how dead are the mods?

>>15011702

>wookiee suits

>large maps with large amounts of open space

the only point you could make is that a lot of maps had urban environments, which just means snipers had more places to hide. i will grant that the destruction mechanic meant that a sniper had to move every now and then but there were still an enormous amount of maps that basically boiled down to "step out of cover, get hit by xXxSnIpErWoLfxXx's magnum ammo, respawn, repeat"

>shitty feeling weapons

worst part about it, made the whole game feel very disposable with each firefight feeling all the less personal. Especially poor because while the game was still toiling with its 1942 quality weapons handling, other games like fear and even CSS were putting it to shame. No excuse for it. Battlefield fags are just codkiddies in denial.

>>15011860

>Wookies

I literally made two points in the post that make them perfectly counterable. There's a million ways to find them since they can't prone, and unless you're in a hardcore server, the game itself shows you where they are if you're killed by one.

Every game has campers, but you have to be really ignorant if you think BC2 of all games allow round-long camping because it's the one game where campers get fucked the most. Just fucking stop.

>>15011754

Most mods got their own launchers. Project Reality is standalone, Forgotten Hope 2 has it's own launcher and same goes for all other major mods.

>>15009366

Maybe if the developer wasn't a turbo retard he would contact major Youtubers who still play BF2 and ask them to showcase his mod in their videos. But no, he unironically expects that a community of less than 1000 people will all find out about the latest literally-who mod on Moddb and they will all download it and there will always be servers with it.

>>15012013

Isn't the mod already finalized for 2+ years?

>>15007741

>Ammo Pool

>Not having mag based ammo in BF2.

It's the small things that make it trash.

>>15008193

American DPV is best vechial to run people over with. Going on Suicide runs and rushing past a tank and hitting infantry behind is so much fun.

>>15012187

There's also AIX if you want to go against bots, there's a program out there that can boost it to 128 total but I usually go 64 as that's a bit more stable.

>>15011934

BC:BF2 is uber trash for the sole reason that the ASVAL is ridiculously broken and the most cancerous class gets to use it. It BTFOs every other sniper because while the average retarded wannabe sniper tries to headshot you from across the map and misses every time, doing just a bodyshot at most if he's lucky, you can just shoot, see where the bullets land, adjust accordingly and 3-tap him from 2000 meters. As for closer ranges, it has the fastest TTK with the exception of a point-blank shotgun and the scope isn't even difficult to use at short ranges so it doesn't "balance it" at all.

Compentent players who are aware of how strong his weapon is will always, without fail, wipe the floor with the enemy team and get absurd 80-2 scores.

>>15008894

Yes. It was on sale for 5 bucks on Steam a while ago and the servers are still up, default game has plenty of full ones and Vietnam generally has 1 full European server. Almost all servers in normal game are 15x XP too meaning you don't have to grind for shit.

>faggot cuckchanners projecting their lack of skill while praising the consolized versions of Battlefield

BC2 is shit. Being able to turn every map into an unplayable mess did not help and if felt like a console game. BC2 is baby's first Battlefield, the game praised by all the faggot jewtubers who grew up with it or got their start in the series with it. I don't care for the fucking opinions of people who went on to be the audience of BF3 and 4.

>>15007741

>defending no prone

>defending less classes

>because compressing Assault and Medic into one class was totally a good idea and didnt come back to bite even harder

>defending no stamina

>defending all of the obviously consolized decisions and lying about nature of class balance and AA

Fucking wew lad. The destruction system was also shit, it went too far because you could level many maps and make them bland and unplayable. The only good thing in BC2 was a couple of maps on Rush, everything else was shit.

>>15007760

>tracker dart cancer

The only thing any sort of spotting mechanic should do is highlight last known location of the enemy. This cancer got worse in BF3 when you could mark people and track them around by just mashing Q

>>15007799

No faggot, Baby's first Battlefield was BC2. Most of those people including the EA shill channels went on to play BF3. BC2 OPENED the gates, it wasn't the flood that was BF3.

>>15007800

Bad Company was a console exclusive that didn't even have vehicle combat. You apologists are mental midgets.

>>15012176

>mag based ammo

Battlefield has never been a realistic series. Don't be pedantic.

Also, you could run out of ammo very quickly in BF2. And since almost nobody plays the ammo support class, if you had no commander you were stuck with an empty gun until you found a kit lying somewhere.

>>15014121

>Source

2142 launched with code that tracked your IP and web usage for its in-game advertising. You'd know this if you were around to play it, underage.

>>15014427

>CoD-esque gun combat starts at BC1.

>EA's mass-appeal began with BF3.

You can pick two of those letters and one of the numbers.

>>15014473

Battlefield was already on consoles long before BC1 even existed, yet the franchise didn't see any mass-influx of people, until BF3 came around. Believe what you want, but this is fact supported by actual evidence.

>>15014508

Didn't mention consoles once, mate.

>>15014597

Though you were the same guy for a second, didn't check ID. Argument still stands though.

>>15014427

>ASVAL

>not the strongest

>G3 outperforms it

What did he mean by this?

You can find a sniper across the map and aim a bit over his head, tap 1-2 times to see where the bullet lands, and adjust. Then quickly 3-tap him and he is dead before he can even get up and find cover. Meanwhile while you were doing all that he was missing you with every shot. effectively making the ASVAL the superior sniper. Especially with magnum ammo.

As for the G3, the ASVAL is still better. It is quicker to kill with an ASVAL, and thanks to the PSO scope you can piss-easily aim at targets at any ranges and hit them every time. The only range in which the G3 is superior is at less than 5 meters, and in that case it doesn't matter because you will rarely be in such a short range fight if you play even half-decently.

This thing is turbo-broken and on the right hands will 1 man army the entire enemy team. I've seen it happen and I've done it myself too.

>>15012187

>>15012233

That was really the biggest killer of Project Reality. It's forced Squadfag shit, you can't actually enjoy the game and have fun by just hopping on a server and playing, you HAVE to play like they want you to which is why it died. The absolute faggotry from the devs was unreal

>>15015563

If you want to see overpowered, look at the old M60.

>>15015637

> I saw more M24's than ASVALs in my 1000+ hours of play.

Because they're retarded and haven't realized how strong this thing is. Also, the G3 doesn't have a PSO scope, it cannot snipe from across the map like the VSS/ASVAL can.

And as for the SV98, it is indeed the best bolt sniper, but only if you're really good with sniping. If you put a VSS player against someone skilled with sniping then the SV98 will win every time.

But realistically, such skilled players are almost non-existent anymore, most prefer playing other classes and many have abandoned the game. Rarely do I find a good sniper anymore. Therefore, based on the fact that the average player sucks with snipers, the VSS will win, because it can quickly hit at any range while the other retard still struggles with missing, scoping out, loading, aiming again, missing again, and repeat.

You're making the mistake of looking at raw stats. The reality of multiplayer is that things happen randomly, you get shot from unexpected places, you have random amount of health based on if you're already wounded or not, and there is random cover around. The VSS can out-range every other assault rifle, defeat average-skilled snipers and it's also silent and doesn't reveal your position. I used to main the G3 until I realized how much easier killing people with the VSS was.

>>15016543

>Because they're retarded and haven't realized how strong this thing is

Yeah, because in a game a lot of people loved, that's been around, alive and kicking for 8 years straight, with an enduring core fanbase that rivals BF2, almost nobody has pointed out how """overpowered""" the ASVAL is, hence why it's not being used by absolutely everybody who still plays it. Because it's too """strong""" and will "wreck" you in this one specific situation granted you ignore the rest of the fucking game happening around you as if you were playing 1v1 in a Battlefield game.

Give me a break, man. I've had more problems with Assaultfags using the underslung shotgun.

>>15016669

Many people know about it and the most experienced players call it a cancer weapon, but because it is locked behind the Recon class most don't use it. As for the playerbase. most of the people who play are new players who got rank 50 through modded servers and not through playing since 2010.

The VSS is not a weapon that works in only 1 situation. It will wreck every time under every circumstance unless you get ambushed from point blank range.

Load up the game right now, take the VSS, extra ammo, magnum bullets and see what it does to enemies. Also don't be a retard who puts a red dot or 4x scope on it, these ruin the weapon. The default scope is pretty much the best scope in the game. Good for long range, also usable at close range.

>>15018264

Battlefield used to be fun, now it's quite boring. I've heard that you can't have fun launching stuff and people with C4 anymore and they got rid of the bullet drop in BFV.

Since BF1 keeps crashing, I've installed BF3 yesterday. I thought that the servers owners wouldn't be as cancerous as those in BF4, I guess I was wrong. No explosives allowed, can't say bad words like "shit" or "faggot" in the chat or you'll get banned, etc. Also I forgot how shitty the UI was and how you need a fucking internet browser to find a game or even launch the campaign.
