Bad Company 2 Rant

Well, in the last couple of days I bought Bad Company 2. Now when I bought it, I expected a game that would be better than Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2. But after playing the single player campaign of both of them, I was rather disappointed in Bad Company 2’s single player.

My biggest pain is snipers. Now I love to snipe and even more so when they are at a distance and I actually can. Now in all games, you want the fluid movement of any scoped gun. But my .50 cal sniper rifle is another story. I was trying to take 1 guy on a turret and all I got was the metal on either side of his face. Why? My gun had to points on either side of his head. I couldn’t move the sniper right onto his head because of the points that the scope goes to. And if in close quarters, don’t even think about quick scoping. Your screen wobbles too much with the amount of rockets and grenades that the opposing faction tends to use.

Now in the terms of explosives. I survived so many of them I stopped caring. In CoD6, if you didn’t move, you died. In this, I didn’t care. Grenade lands at my feet, meh, I’ll survive. Rockets are pretty much the same except there is a pretty shitty explosion sound. Now granted that I was playing on Easy as I did with CoD6 and this game is easy as anything. Now But then again, the explosive power should really be expected from some crappy paramilitary group.

Ohh yea, that’s right this paramilitary group is hired by a Russian. Still no reason for them to hack. Seriously, they can see me when I can’t see them. They are also very rocket happy. Seriously, too many rockets is a bad thing.

The last thing I have to really complain about is the endgame. Running through an airplane with a shotgun really isn’t giving anyone else a chance. Not to mention that you blow up the entrance to the bad guys hide out and then all jump out of the plane. The end boss fight doesn’t even exist. It’s just jump out of the plane and shoot him twice and he is dead. Come on. Then the final video tells you that you didn’t stop the Russian invasion because they are already in bloody Alaska. Like seriously? Who attacks from Alaska, then you have to deal with Canada and its all to take out the US? Now the end video is where the game really wears out its welcome because you think that your gonna go and attack another few waves of Russians just to finish the game but no. The game just ends leaving it open for a sequel.

Hopefully the sequel or a patch or expansion fixes this crap.
