About
Dear Internet.

I'm ZoNe-SiNisTeR, gamer by choice, ever since my daddy bought his Nintendo Entertainment System when I was at the age of not a lot years old. He used to reward my brother and I with NES cartriges when we kept good grades. I even have Kirby's Adventure twice, both in french and english, which I use to learn Shakespeare's language.

I'm a french canadian from Saguenay, 500 kilometers north of Montréal, and I buy most of my things in english, because original versions are better than dubbed one... especially with L.A Noire, french translations are awful, and you can't skip them!

The only reason I enjoy writing blog post here is because I like to write and practice my english writing skills, and believe me, I'm a lot better than I used to. It doesn't matter to me if people reads what I write or not, I won't be harassing people or bug them to read what I write, but if people do read and feels like commenting, I'll be happy to participate, discuss or defend my theories and opinions.

List of systems I own (or My brother and I own)

-NES (two)
-PSX
-DREAMCAST
-GAMECUBE
-PS3
-WII (collecting dust in the living room.)
-XBOX 360

I'm good at shooting games, RTS and RPG (thinking of it, can you suck at RPG games???) I can hold my own in MMOs, fighting games(Tekken 6 and MK9) and rhythm games. And I bowl 224 pins in average, IRL. I can barely do 150 pins in wii bowling... Really!

Sincerly yours,
ZoNe-SiNisTeR

Yep, I've said it. Having per-ordered Battlefield BC2 on Steam gave me the option to join the ongoing multiplayer beta. I found that the sole map included in BC2's multiplayer beta is much more enjoyable than Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer counterpart, and here are the reasons, ten of 'em.

1- Dedicated servers: No lousy matchmaking system that bugs.

2- No killstreak bonuses: Getting rammed with two harriers plus a chopper gunner or an AC130 isn't fun. I gotta admit that when you are in control of these four things, it's fun :P But you get tags and medals in BC2 for kill streaks.

3- Maps are huge: And they get bigger as you complete objectives. You can play up to 32 people on the same server, which is another plus. Think of it like number 3.5

4- No campers can win: If you camp in BC2, you will most likely lose. (I define camping as people camping when it's not their objective. I.E: You defend M-COM stations in BC2, you are not camping, you are doing your objective, which is to defend the damn stations.)

5- Guns have recoil: You can't spray and be effective in BC2. I ended up killing the sky many times with my assault rifle until I decided to burst.

6- Knives can't be your main weapon: The knife in BC2 is strong, even as strong as MW2's, but you can telewarp to knife and you must be spot on to effectively knife kill. Most of the time, taking a step back and blasting the dude to hell is a smarter decision.

7- Tanks, planes, helicopters, ATVs...: And they aren't overkill machine a la Battlefield 2, where a dude could rape you and your whole family with only one plane. Most of the time, teams have a lot of option to take out these vehicle quickly. I have yet to play a round where we get hammered by one tank, or one helicopter.

8- No perks: You gotta have skill, or else prepare to die a lot.

9- Gravity drop on bullets: Make sniping extra fun and extra rewarding when you headshot a dude from hella far because you aimed an inch higher to compensate the drop. It is also much more realistic... which is my last point.

10- The game is much more realistic: It's a battlefield, plain and simple. You get infantry, vehicle, tanks, and a lot of death. No fancy whatever.

Both games are good, I can't write otherwise. These was my ten reasons why I think that Battlefield Bad Company 2 will be slightly better when It launch this march.

If you played both, just tell me what you think about those two games.

Any match that I've been in that has had at least a competent Apache heli pilot in the seat dominates the game. I still don't know of a counter-measure for the helicopters.
I've played both, and I got to say, I've spending much more time with BFBC2 than MW2. Sure MW2 is fun sometimes, but all the things ZoNe-SiNisTeR said about MW2 are true. The squad system in BFBC2 is hella smart as well, and guarantees instant action together with your buddies!

-Starter RPG's or unlocked anti-vehicle weapons. A well placed starter RPG can bring down a chopper in one hit (ie THE COCKPIT).

-Have a smart player who has the tool to tag the fuck out of the helicopter with a tracer dart, then fire your rockets away (guided rockets are fun).

-Use the UAV and drop a piece of thunder on top of his ass (provided the enemy is at a low enough altitude)

-Use an unlocked high powered sniper rifle and shoot the pilot.
It will surpass MW2 because instead of repeating the formula "a la" MW2 (MW2 could have been just an add-on, just think of it: new maps, guns and perks, and thats it, nothing really substantial) they are improving the core of their gameplay system (so its more fun while you´re playing in a squad for example). And not just expanding until there are 1000 guns to choose and the only thing that seems relevant is your aiming speed.
@JamnOntheOne: There will be a countermeasure for helicopters, and its called a stinger missile, not available in beta.
I did a similar blog to this back when the original Bad Company and Modern Warfare were going at it. I feel the same now as I did then, Battlefield > Call of Duty.
Well technically there are perks. You get two soldier modifiers and one for your vehicle :P

I'm really enjoy the demo. Cannot wait for March, though I still need to get MAG.
It's not even the same type of game :/ Battlefield is a Battlefield Game.Based on vehicule and map control point. CoD6 is a Deathmatch with objective game. Why are you comparing the two ? Yeah the two are FPS and that's it :/

It's possible to prefer Cod or BF to the others, but it not's because one is better than the other.
yeah this game is all kinds of beast. I already got the platinum trophy and sold MW2 for BC2.
@CelicaCrazed
Yeah but they are not as destructive as they are in MW2. (e.i: Ninja pro)

@Xaren
If you prefer one game or the other, it's because you think that one is better than the other.
@Z-S

think of any sport you may prefer a team but they may not be the best.

I think balance wise BC2 is a much better game and of course the frostbite engine works a dream. Though I do like Call of Duty if i'm going for some counterstrike esque gameplay. They're totally Differant types of games, It's like comparing Mario Kart and Forza it's pointless.
Comparing the two is pointless. They are completely different. Also, it will definitely not pass MW2 in terms of sales or fan base.
I agree with most of your points, but I'm not sure BC2 and MW2 are really comparable, except that they're both war games. Back when I was playing both Battlefield 2 and Call of Duty 4, they filled different niches for me. Battlefield 2 was all about the squad and teamwork, playing your role, strategy, and long matches. CoD4 was about quick action, killin' dudes, tactics, and short matches.

If you look at how long the input lag is between CoD and the Battlefield games, you can see that IW and DICE chose to focus on different gameplay elements.
Bad Company 2 won't sell as much as Modern Warfare 2.

It's definitely a more carefully-developed game and won't get raped by glitches as hard as MW2 has been, but it won't sell as much. Because the "majority" doesn't like good games.
I don't know, I've asked my MW2 playing friends and they have mixed thoughts about it. I'm sure it has potential, but if newbs do try and play it, they may just bash it for being too frustrating?

So i downloaded the demo last night on ps3 and all i have to say is MW2 cant hang with BFBC2. Don’t get me wrong I still like MW2 but BFBC2 is so much bigger and so many things to do. I love to snipe and the maps in BF are huge and you actually have to compensate for bullet drop and distance. You can get in vehicles and pretty much blow everything up. Remote control a drone and chase people down. Really I don’t think ive had as much fun in long time since playing this game.

Sure you’ll have your running knifers and campers but there’s so much going on its pretty much a crime to just sit still plus helping your squad is really what wins you the game. You can run around by yourself but team play is also a nice option. I really got tired of the tiny maps in MW2 and games that lasted 15 mins. In BF my average game was around 30 mins since the battle keeps moving down the map. I’ll definitely be buying this game day one when its out.

Also probably worth asking yourself if you ever want to have other people participate in writing posts on this blog? If so I would avoid using anything with your name in as this might discourage other people from contributing.
