Battlefield PSA Mocks Modern Warfare 2 "F.A.G.S." Gaffe

[TsunamiWombat]

I....I...I'm getting tempted to try this game.. >_> <_<

Another reason I don't like DICE their games aren't that good and they take cheap shots, but what can you except when they are going up against MW2, doomed to fail, miserablily.

I agree entirely. The funniest thing is that they can mock MW2 for all kinds of things but the facts are, their severs work about as well as MW2's, they copied most of the weapons from MW2 (granted there aren't that many weapons out there altogether), kept noob tubes. Infact they copied almost everything aside from having larger maps and proper physics... And yet, not as well...

If you think Bad Company 2 copied MW2, then you obviously haven't played Bad Company and probably not any Battlefield game at all. Both are completely different shooters with only the same setting, hence the similar weapons.

Yeah, you pretty much said everything that came to mind. If you think they copied weapons you really are grasping for things to try to trash the game about.

MW2 is a great game, but it has low replayability and poor balance. The maps/spots people use are the same in every single game after 2 weeks. In bad company since they are more realistic environments there are always multiple ways to attack from, and you can blow almost everything that can be used for cover up.

Meaning the way the map is played actually changes as its being played. Not this, oh look you can shoot some glass windows or blow up some boxes of paper "destructable" environments.

This is gonna get REAL old, REAL fast.

It's isn't one-upping if you're copying someone. Let's try being original, DICE, ok?

I love threads like these that the subject doesn't even name any certain party in their ad or psa, and yet fanboys come out of the woodwork to bash the ad/psa and/or defend their own game.
I especially dig the video, makes me wish BBC2 didn't get all serious. Of course the players can always insert their own humor quotient into the game. Maybe 3 will rectify that at least to a degree. I still want to play it.

Talking about bad acronyms - Don't call it BBC2, call it BFBC2, BBC2 is a British broadcasting associations TV channel...

It's the same reason we called Modern Warfare 2 Mewtwo, or Assassin's Creed AssCreed. We have fun with it; you guys should too

John this is the Internet, nobody knows how to have fun because it's all Serious Business.

Stupid, stupid Infinity Ward.
But still, this shit is petty. Especially considering I don't see IW responding. It's that classic
"Just be the bigger man and walk away" thing.

DICE could learn a bit from pacifist new age mums everywhere.

More like "Hi we're currently dealing with a massive legal SNAFU with Activision and don't have time to respond". Seriously I find it hilarious people were busy kicking IW for multiple things regarding Modern Warfare 2 and then all of a sudden they become something to be defended from those no good punks at DICE and EA. Does the gaming community at large have a bipolar disorder or am I just blowing this out of proportion? For more on this we go to nobody because I don't have the grant money to research this kind of foolishness.

ROFL. The promos sold me on BBC1... and this just sold me on BBC2.

Have you ever played a BF game before? They are older then CoD you know..

Dud if you say that BFBC2 is copying MW2 guns, then that's bullshit. They are both set in modern times, so therefor use only guns from this time period, there aren't that many gun models goin around you know.
If you can say BFBC2 copied MW2's guns, than I can say MW2 copied Rainbox six's guns or LFD2's guns.

 

[messy]

I must say I love these guys at DICE

am i the only person who actually likes EA more than IW atleast EA gets it right sometimes even though they are both money grabbers

Looks around curiously, where'd this fanboy come from?
Single player is no worse than MW2, and the only thing they are really going up against is the player base, not the game itself, both are fairly unremarkable shooters, but DICE didn't turn their backs on the PC community, and in fact came back to us groveling on their hands and knees for leaving us out of BFBC:1 so yeah, DICE gets a pat on the back in my books.

And if there is humour to be had, I'm glad DICE is taking it out, because this incites some tension between the two camps, and that's good for us passive observers.

Marvellous

Honestly, this is just getting to be kind of sad. It's like DICE don't even know how to market their properties so they take everything Infinity Ward did with MW2 and try to one-up them.
No dedicated servers for MW2? Hell yeah we'll have them for BC2. Except we actually totally don't.
MW2 is getting a map pack, so we'll release one FREE the same day. Except it's not new maps at all, it's a retooling of the gametypes available for each map, something MW2 did months ago without feeling the need to announce it like payers were getting something of actual value.
IW made a funny video about grenade spam, so we're totally gonna riff on that.
The line about the heartbeat sensors was pretty funny but... wow, every second person refers to it as though putting that line in the game somehow had an effect on MW2 or the MW2 community. Seriously, people think "MW2 fanboys" are raging about it?

Hey Dice, why don't you try oneupping their sales figures? See how that works out for you.

People call MW2 overhyped, but if there was any marketing for MW2 it's nothing compared to this cavalcade of circlejerking Dice is engaging in.

MW2 doesn't even have servers. The weapons in both games are based on actual weapons. And "noob tubes" have been around since Perfect Dark on the N64, so if DICE are copying IW, then IW copied Rare.

Except that MW2 does have servers, 'listen' ones. The point is BFBC2 is a major competitor for MW2, everyone knows this, but BFBC2 just ripped everything from MW2 and made it look like it was theirs all along. The 'noob tubes' weren't compulsory at all, DICE obviously felt they had to appeal to people who liked them in MW2.

Which is why I said 'granted there aren't that many weapons out there altogether'.

Excuse the double post, but +1 to this.

Dammit, triple post, sorry but I just keep noticing other posts. EA cock up far more than IW do, remember IW made CoD1, 2 and 4 which were all very successful. EA made trainwrecks such as Spore. But they are had to compare seeing as EA are actually primarily a publisher and not a developer like IW.

BFBC2 uses most of the same guns form BFBC, including the noob tube. Obviously, you've never played it. Which is a pity, because both Bad Company games are definitely worth checking out regardless of how much you like/don't like MW/MW2.

This guy is a legend. There is no more to this than the above. +2 to you good sir.

I could say DICE are no better, or that I enjoy both games for what they are. But clearly, the failed launch of BFBC2 is horrid. I have barely had any gametime in Multiplayer because of the lack of Dedicated servers AVAILABLE because DICE can't keep up with the load. For this I condem the game. The singleplayer is thrilling, I have been enjoying it.

Maybe the day will come when things will become less objectional. xD

Seems like Ifinity Ward has met its match on all fronts.
