Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 vs Battlefield Bad Company 2

I have recently purchased both games and will use this space to write a little review of how I feel they stack up against each other.

Single Player Capaign Mode

MW2

Good
- A good plot which keeps you interested

Bad
- The capaign game was over far too soon. It could have done with a bit longer. I expect hardcore out of work players or children in holidays would complete on the day of purchase.

BC2

Good
- almost fully destructable landscape. Alot of buldings can be destroyed, however not all.
Bad
- Plot seems weak so far as I haven't completed it yet
- Far too many cut scenes. sometimes you have only just run a hundred yards and oops, here we go.. another cut scene. It breaks up the gaming flow far too much.

Multiplayer Online

MW2

- Selectable perks allow you to tweak the "skills" of your soldier to suit your needs.

BC2

Good - i'm loving the Recon class's calling in of mortars. very useful tool. Bad - I found the basic guns difficult to get on with. - Medics can't Heal or revive until they learned their skills!

General

MW2

BC2

Good
- Landscapes are wide and open
- Bullets drop over distance


Bad
- Too much swearing. There is a lot of pointless swearing in the whole game, multiplayer and single player. This is not by other players but by the Non Player Characters. I wouldn't want any of my children under 13 playing the game.
-PC version crashes quite a lot.

To be continued... I will add more as I go along.

Please feel free to comment!

I have now been playing Battlefield Bad Company 2 for a while and am totally hooked. I even bought the map pack for Modern Warfare 2 and went back to give that a go and that didn't convert me back again!
