I would hesitate to call Battlefield: Bad Company casual by any means. It's got huge maps, vehicles, a destructible environment, and far more diverse gameplay than run 'n' gun.

People run 'n' gun in Battlefield too, all huge maps do is promote camping, and vehicles take away from the experience which is why I've never been a huge fan of the Treyarch titles. But I guess we've reach the point where we agree to disagree.

Bioshock 2 is actually being made with a multiplayer mode apparently. I'm not really sure how it's going to work but I'm excited to see if it's actually good.

I pretty much agree with everyone here. I think Call of Duty is one of the most overrated games ever but I do think Modern Warfare 1 is fun. I just got bored of it rather easily, I didn't really find it addictive like people say.

Camping doesn't work in Bad Company. If someone is sitting in a building waiting for some unexpecting enemy, all you have to do is blow down the wall and expose the poor bastard.

Well.

I'd rather a shooter have a great single player and a half assed multiplayer than the other way around.

Same here. Unless that shooter is Left 4 Dead or something like that.

When I say campers I mean the real campers. The *******s who hide in the most out of the way spots on the least travelled paths and wait until some poor sap who subconsciously thinks "nobody could possibly be hiding this far away from all the action" until they kill you and move three steps left or right to wait for the next unlucky bastard.

That's so ineffective. Bad Company maps are over twice as big as Modern Warfare maps, and it only supports 6 more players than Modern Warfare. So really, you'd be waiting a LONG time before your little scheme works out. I have never encountered anyone doing this in BC.

I've never played Bad Company because destructive enviroments, vehicles and gigantic maps don't enhance gameplay in my opinion. But I have played almost every other multiplier shooter on xbox and playstation and people have camped in every single one of them. So I find it hard to believe that nobody camps in Bad Company, especially because all online multiplayer communities are made up of the same players.

So consider yourself lucky...they're out there and one of these days you'll come across them.

The only way that there's 'camping' in Bad Company is if you consider someone who crouches on top of a building and snipes people to be a camper.

As for destructible environments, it turns out to be a huge gameplay factor in Bad Company. Someone hiding in a building? Blow open a wall and expose them. Want to drive your tank, but there's trees in the way? Knock them down.

The vehicles also play an important role, by enhancing the variety of gameplay and providing easier means of transportation in huge maps. Really, do you want to spend all of your time running into battle, getting killed, and then have to do the same thing all over again, hoping you get lucky this time? And it's not just tanks that you have to drive, you can also use helicopters, armored cars, and golf carts. I generally don't like vehicles as well, but in Bad Company, nothing is more rewarding than driving up in a tank and plowing down enemy soldiers and trees.

Big maps allow for a bigger variety in the gameplay. I don't know about you, but I get sick of running and gunning around a bunch of walls and buildings all day.
