I've said about all I have to say when it comes to Battlefield: Bad Company 2, so this will be a quick one. I'm really glad it exists, mostly because it's one of those near-universal games where most of my friends can be seen playing it.
Really now, there's little greater in life than bitching at your television after you realize your whole team is playing as the sniper class even though they know damn well they're supposed to be moving forward and arming M-COM stations. Sheesh!
If for no other reason, this is why you should participate in Friday Night Fights.
New to FNF? Read this: Each week, a bunch of Destructoid readers and usually an editor or two get together to play some videogames online. Basically, this is what Friday Night Fights are all about.
The planning for FNF takes place in the forums, where community members volunteer to host by posting their information (gamertag, time to meet up, game, etc.) in the forum post corresponding to the system they're interested in playing on.
Then, every Friday, reminder posts for those who don't read the forums regularly go up in the community blogs section all thanks to a dedicated group of cool individuals. And for everyone who wants their info all in one place, they have got my weekly recap posts to look forward to between 4:30 - 5:30 PM EST.
Now that you're here, just scan the list below and find a game you want to play. All that's left to do after that is to join the match by contacting the host below using any means necessary. For Wii, you might have to be a little creative, but for 360/PS3 a simple "invite me" message will be fine.
The names on the left are our Destructoid handles, while the ones on the right are our online handles (PSN IDs, for example). Don't see a game you want to play? Feel free to post a comment offering to take up hosting duties yourself.

I've played 4 or 5 levels in the actual game so far, and only one could be described as "brown". It's actually a very good looking game with decent selection of scenery. If you want more colorful graphics with more attitude(?), then why don't you go and play Sonic.
"It's just another brown fps with as much attitude as wallpaper glue."
obviously you haven't actually played BC2. btw what the fuck does "attitude" mean in that reference?
why is it that grenades can be thrown off into oblivion? also, i think the guns look like shit. if it's in front of your face the entire time, it'd better not look like it's made of wood. the running, cover, and grenades are my biggest issue as far as how it plays. the guns are just aesthetic. i think the 'splosions and fully destructable environments are a sick feature, but either way, i'll be on MW2 tonight on PS3,,,

I seriously can't do more than one FPS at a time. I mean, I play borderlands (platinum the other day actually), but it's not as competitive.
also, as far as internetslang or "mems" goes, is "FTW" still FUCK THE WORLD like it was when I was in high school, or is it "FOR THE WIN" as it's current context seems to imply?
If it's actually FOR THE WIN then I think I've misjudged many people to be as nihilistic and negative as myself.
(y'all need to add a gaming calendar to the site where people can put in games for weeknights too... sortable by platform)
BC:2 is the shit, all you haters don't even hate right, go back to playing twitch glitch shit.
fuck my life, or FML is the new FTW.
Seriously, shut the fuck up
ahhh, I see. although, I still prefer world rejection over self loathing.
and seriously, the "host" for MW2 never even came on, so I ended up watching season 4 of Venture Brothers.
hows about I host next week?
