Battlefield: Bad Company; does the Multiplayer make anyone else furious?

I don't hate bad company at all, the campaign was decent, and the multiplayer (and single player) are relatively glitch free.

However, the multiplayer pisses me off more then call of duty.

Now listen, I know EVERY game has its own Bull S*** that gamers have to deal with, but:

How come there is NO bullet spread? You can mow people down with a 9MM PISTOL FROM 400 YARDS! at pin-point accuracy.

and how come every gun does the same damage from any distance? I find that very strange. You can pump someone from about 300 yards with an Uzi, and its more useful then an assault rifle, cause it has a faster fire rate, and hits with equal force.

How is that possible? Your lucky to hit someone 100 yards away with an uzi, let alone across an entire battlfield...

It just seems like this game has so much ridiculous bullet physics, that its impossible to be good at the game.

Really- is there ANY way to be good at Battlefield: bad company WITHOUT camping?

My K/d is positive 150, but all I can do is camp or spawn camp...

anyone else have this rant? am I missing something about this game? Is it meant to be this arcade?

You can't even have played the game. There is huge bullet spread in the game. The UMP/Uzi will not call anything past 100 yards, the shotgun will not kill anyone past 50 or so yards. With a LMG I need to shoot at least 100+ bullets to kill someone at 200 yards+. The only gun with no bullet spread is the sniper rifle, which of course makes sense.

If anything BC takes far more skill than the average fps to be good at, as was the case with every BF game.

Have you used the iron sights?

It increases your accuracy so much that you can hit a guy across the map!

Yeah i get mad at it sometimes. Right now my 360 is broken (waiting for box) so im kind of missing BF:BC though hopefully i get my Xbox back before NHL 09 because when that game comes out i will rarely ever play another game.

Nice try, but wrong. If you zoom in with any weapon but the shotgun you have an insane accuracy. I love the game, but disagree with the bullet physics, too many guns are way too accurate. I used to play the assault class when attacking, until I realized that the speacialist UMP was more powerful and just as accurate. There is a definate imbalance in the game that I hope DICE addresses before the next big online shooter comes out, but I doubt it. Use whatever imbalance you find to your advantage and enjoy the game while its still popular.

i dont think the UMP is more accurate than the M16, remember that guns have different stats and yes the UMP is more accurate than most assault rifles, but the stats support that

(I love your avatar, hottest girl ever!)

But I still find the gun accuracy to be way off balance.

Indeed! Every weapon has upsand downs and are not al the same at all. I fail to see where they are?

I have 2200+ kills, I think I've got a pretty good understanding of how the game works. Too accurate, that's almost funny. If anything the accuracy is way too low ingame.

UMP and Shotgun dominate close quarters, M16 dominates mid range, snipers dominate long range, LMGs are adequate at all ranges but there's always a better weapon. A LMG will next to never beat a UMP or M16 in close quarters as you cannot routinely get head shots, accuracy is just not there. You need to play more and learn the game I'm thinking.

Shhh, you keep talking past the point where people were listening....

Raok

You have a whopping 42 kills, you obviously have all the ins and outs of the game figured out....

BTW, you don't have 1 kill with an assault rifle, you don't 1 kill with a LMG, and you have 1 kill with the Specialist UMP, lol

I still think oasis is the best map....

and on topic the guns in th game dont make me mad it is the split second lag since i live in australia... in close quaters it is almost impossible to get more than 1 kill since you will aim at some one then start firing but they have already killed you... and its like u didnt even hit them.

I agree with Endgame.

I was actually testing all the bullet physics today because I was kind of curious just how everything works.

And, uh they're definitely there.

None of that killing from 400 yards away with the UMP BS.

Sorry guys...

Ive had no problem racking up just over 10,000 kills. Beans,Bullets, and Bandages FTW. My time with the game has showed me that a lot of players just aren't any good. And these are the players that complain about everything.

You just need to change your tactics cause I see a lot of people playing this game like other fps. Which means you will just fail.

Also you need to watch and see what your squad is trying to accomplish with the kits that they equip. My friends and I seem to think that 2 specialists, 1 demo, and a medic are the best way to attack or defend.

The sniping in this game is realistic leading to just about everyone being terrible with them. Ive pretty much got the M95 down to a science with the leading and have pulled some great numbers defending. i.e. 30/3 k/d

Their is absolutely no reason to choose to attack with a sniper. No matter how good you think you are.
