Why Battfield: Bad Company 2 is Better than Modern Warfare 2! OMG!!
Is Angry Joe Insane?! In this Top Reasons Preview Joe actually attempts to, ON PURPOSE, Ignite the “Military Shooter Cold War” into Full-Blown Open Fanboy Warfare! Bad Company 2 IS BETTER than Modern Warfare 2! and here’s the reason why you should be HAPPY that it is!
Before you start to just FLIP OUT! Hear what Joe has to say, we all play Modern Warfare 2, all of us, but realize that competition is key and the more each game tries to one-up each other, the better it is for us as gamers. Its a Win-Win Situation! Check it out:
What Hypes Me Up
+ Full Destructible Large Sandbox Environments
+ Vehicle Warfare and Fewer Classes Help Simulate a better Real-War Experience
+ The Bad Company Squad has Personality which leads to an engaging Single-player Campaign
+ New Squad Rush 4v4v4v4 Game Type (In addition to the currently Unannounced Secret Type!)
+ Improved Unlocks, Awards, and Dogtags Systems
What Could Suck
+ If your favorite was the Specialist Class – He’s been removed from the Game.
+ How Long will the Singleplayer Campaign be? As Short as Modern Warfare 2′s?
+ When your side of players arent co-operating, the game can be very frustrating. So much that its enough to ruin it for some impatient people
Preview Hype Score
9/10
Can Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Reclaim the Crown? We should all pray and hope that is does, including MW2 Fanboys!

I agree with Joe here. MW2 has a lot of bugs, the spawning sístem is garbage and vehicles. Vehicles are needed. You have them in World at War. Bad Company 2 is better and that’s a good thing like Joe said.
But he’s not that good at cussing as the Nerd
Think it would better to buy a new PC and buy it? and how do you connect to online with ps3 and xbox360 i dont talk alot so ps3 sounds right for me
PS3 has built in wifi, which the xbox doesn’t, and hooks upto the PlayStation Network. All it requires is that you sign up. Buying a PC is alot more expensive than buying a PS3 or xbox, but the games are cheaper and online payments are only required for certain games, similar to phantasy star universe for xbox (maybe ps3 i don’t know). But yeah it;s upto you but i am personally getting rid of my xbox for a ps3 but am going to play bad company 2 on pc for now, might get it also for ps3.
And with the xbox you either have to directly link you xbox to a modem with an Ethernet cable, you can also do this with the ps3, or pay an extra sum of approx. $100 to get a wireless internet adapter.
And should i Pre order it or just buy it normaly i want the limited addition but i cant choose
Yes Bad Company 2 is on PC i have it preordered for the PC. As for which console is better is a matter of opinion. If you want free online play, better graphics, a controller that is a little less hand form fitting, and an inability to to talk to upto 8 friends no matter what game their playing, but games the usually loose value quicker making them cheaper to buy, go ps3. If you want awesome online but you have to pay for it, endless problems, a controller the form fits the hand better, not as good but rivaling graphics, the ability to talk with upto 8 friends no matter what game they are in (except MW2 online), and games that have a tendency to loose price very slowly (due to the amount of people purchase it each day globally), go xbox 360. Wii is just out of the question, Bad Company 2 isn’t coming out for that.
Oh and i forgot to add xbox 360s eat cds for breakfast, lunch and diner. That would be why the games don’t go down in price as quickly (the DVD isn’t as scratch resistant as the Blu Ray Disc) so most people get the warranty from places like Future Shop, EB Games, Gamestop, etc. for xbox games cause they get eatin’. And to see the issues that most people have with the xbox look at Angry Joe’s recent vid RROD (Red Ring of Death) i ‘ve been lucky so far but i still hate my xbox and im selling it for a PS3.
Hello you there??
Id like to ask i am gana buy a xbox 360 or a PS3 to play Bad company 2 thats how dedicated i am but which console is better? il also buy a new HD tv so can someone say which console is better and what is a good tv to buy? and is Bad company 2 on PC cause i want ot buy that for a friend who doesint have a console and wont buy one
Haha Bad company is such a modern warfare2 rip off look at the cover haha. Anyway dont thing its gonna be better or change anything
How is Bad company a rip off of modern warfare 2 when bad company was out first? Plus as stated in the video battlefield was around first and was the king, in my opinion always was. Also modern warfare 2 barely has an destruction, spare a few planters/pots. Your comment is unjustified and very ignorant. And bad company actually has a worth while storyline that isn’t a complete rip off of its predecessor, nor did it use recycled models from its predecessor.
I will get hyped over a Battlefield game when they finally fix the terrible lag.
I personally thought that the entire Modern Warfare line sucked. Like I started on World at War then rented CoD4 and the story was fun but not as fun as Bad Company. I now have Modern Warfare 2 for the PC (i don’t understand why people complain about IWNet) and the story is essentially CoD4 twice. First mission in both is identical, as is second mission and so on and so forth not too mention you have to do the “epic” retarted jump to the helicopter twice in MW2. And the ending i remeber was supposed to be all epic, i get to it and i was just like “Why the hell isn’t this just a cutscene” reminds me of the missions in CoD4 were after being nuked you would have to walk around and die, it was such a waste of a mission! Also Spec ops is mediocre it isn’t all that fun. And Multiplayer sucks huge balls!!! I rather enjoy destroying noobs in CoD WaW because it actually requires skill not “I’ll just use stopping power beacuse it makes my bullets do 7x the normal damage.” The first real fps i played though was BF2 and i still play even though i suck but i have alot of fun.
And Joe i get what your talking about with the teams. I was playing Bad Company 1 multiplayer and i was snipping the entire game (we were the attackers) but i do it because i actually have snipping skill in that game. Anyway we get to the last base and everyone on my team decided to snipe. I decided to swith to support and took out the first crate then we lost because last minute my team decided they should try to get the last crate.
GO joe ….. sorry poor joke habits
just one thing i hope , when it comes to PC
that we still get the solo campain, for some reason battlefield 2 on pc is just a multyplayer game, and that sucks, but the multy was great….. until incapables came in
monderwarfare2 multiplayer is repetitive due to the lack of maps
and the game modes just arent interesting…… plus lots of people cheat
but hey i’m playing it when i’m bored
I don’t think BF2 had any single player in any iteration, did it?
Personally, I played 2142 way more than I played BF2, mainly because it allowed for more detailed graphics settings and the gameplay was more focused on infantry tactics augmented with vehicles, rather than the other way around (I can’t count how many times I would leave a carrier in BF2, where three guys were TKing each other just to get a jet).
IMO, BF:BC2 is in contention for my favourite game of all-time, and I’ve only played the beta…
PS: on the whole MW2 thing, I don’t think there’s really much of a comparison. MW2 is shit-tons of fun, but it’s actually a really shallow multiplayer experience. The unlocks and titles are the only things that keep people coming back. Also, I’m pretty sure I can say one acronym/word and even the fanboys will agree with me: IWNet. AKA: The Biggest Dick-Slap In The Face Of Online Gamers In The History Of Online Games.
PPS: Try playing MW2 on a Saturday afternoon, and I challenge ANYONE to not become homicidal.
like Zelda these shotter games need blue potion…..thats why i hate this game, lol lol just kinding i love om both
Hah can’t wait, and with my EA employee discount it’ll only cost me $10.
No WAY!!! MW2 win always beat all other FPS games until cod 7!!!!!
dam i want this but i gata save for broketober this year
dam i have got so many enw games i will feel like a bitch if i get this kuz broketober is comeing up. dam
Hey Joe, can i get my shoes back? (Lies) i wont throw the again
See the thing about MW2 is that it really had nothing going for it in my eyes. Yes the game is supposedly the absolute greatest multiplayer game, and good on them, but when I look at it all I see is another cookie cutter shooter war game that could have been anything. Now I’ve been in the military for 5 years, and really do I want to play a game based on what I already did? Granted, it’s got more stuff exploding than my old day to day, but in the end it’s just another war game.
BFBC2 actually has a bit of my interests. Yes it’s another cookie cutter war game, but this time they actually realize that it is and have fun with it. The dialogue from part 1 is exactly what me and my buddies used to talk about when on patrol. It made me laugh as well as had a decent FPS system. So even if it’s another cookie cutter war game at least it’ll be a FUNNY cookie cutter war game.
You dont want to play a game based on what you already did,Oh so,America was already framed for killing hundreds of people inside the USSR,and you fought off russian troops on U.S. soil days later,wow,where was I when THAT happened,cause I coulda’ swore we were fighting terrorists in the middle east,not freaking russians.
What the shit? Look I didn’t even know the damn story, nor did I wish to find out. Don’t take out your fanboy rage against me because I really don’t care about Modern Warfare 2. All I saw from the previews and the reviews are just “OMG THIS IS AWESOME MULTIPLAYER LOLZ” and I really didn’t see anything from the single player. The game seems bland, but BC2 takes that bland story and actually has fun with it. Therefore I rule in favor of BC2.
Your posts have me thinking. I can’t recall any personality in the Modern Warfare 2 squad beyond “everybody gets a dumb stripe every mission” and “soldier w/varying level of gung ho, anger and shock in voice.”, “returning character from first modern warfare” and “guy with cool voice”. The squads in each half of the story seemed interchangeable and just kinda there.
Bad Company obviously establishes it’s characters as different and unique beyond having a different voice to speak with. I can guess that the two in the “Mad World Spoof” commercial are probably the Deadpan Snarker and either the New Kid or the Tech Geek.
BTW: Dumb Stripe = Purple Heart, for those not in the know.
Now that looks fun. I never played Bad Company, but the commercials are hilarious. Heck, I can see a real soldier calling a squad mate out on singing “Mad World”. That song’s depressing, I can’t imagine wanting to hear it anywhere near a battlefield.
As for Modern Warfare 2? I liked the gameplay, but thought the story and storytelling was awful. It came across as a hackneyed stealth antiwar movie with a cliched plot, a reliance on predictable Player Punches and with a final fight scene that dragged on far too long. Not to mention that I AIMED FOR HIS CHEST AND HIT HIS FACE!
*Ahem.* I’ll spare you any further ranting on Modern Warfare 2. I’ve already edited my rant down as far as I can.
I want to play Bad Company now. I want to see Bad Company 2 become Modern Warfare’s competition. I want to see games compete and drive up the quality of games.
Im sorry to disagree,but I dont think MW2 has a cliche storyline,or bad storytelling,I think it tells a really well done story,and captures the mood,especially the ending sequence which was respectfully long to build up tention for people who really got into the game,I really cant think of the story as cliche since alot of movies kill off most of the main characters,in this game 5 of 8 people survived,Which I was happy with,Im sick of movies and such just throwing away too many loved chracters,its a good strategy for story,but doing too much can really turn on you,but hey,thats my opinion,I have one suggestion,try and appreciate the clicheness of it if it seems as a cliche storyline,Sometimes its nice not to have somehting new.
It’s not so much the action movie cliches that get me for MW2. It was the drastic shift from the patriotic tone of Modern Warfare to the anti war tone of Modern Warfare 2. It doesn’t help that I did see some of the twists coming at exactly the wrong moment to appreciate them. It doesn’t help that I liked the characters that they did kill more than anybody else.
I will give the MW2 writers some credit. They did create a reasonably unique story that took shots at some sacred cows. It’s not that it’s a bad story, it’s not what I was expecting in a Modern Warfare or Call of Duty game. I was expecting more of a patriotic story like MW1, not a deconstruction complete with quotes from Goethe and Marx.
I hope Modern Warfare 3 has a reconstructive story instead of another deconstructive story like Modern Warfare 2 did.
Thank you for disagreeing with me in such a respectful manner. It IS appreciated.
You know what,Im a big Modern Warfare fan,and I completely agree with you,all your reasons are valid,and sound pretty fun apposed to modern warfares every man for himself system,and also,I love that fact that now buildings will collapse,that’ll make this gamer much better,and more expieriencing,Modern Warfare isnt perfect,and it has its problems,like the bullets with their 5 second delays,Im definatilly buying this.
i think BF BC 2 will be better than MW 2, just because the first was funny, even this one will be grim and gritty (fuck the mad world ad was damn funny !). and the most important : HUGE MAP !
Man this game looks like its going to kick butt.
lol I love how your hands have green blotches around them when you wave em in the air. Gotta love the green screen…
MW2 is broken all the glitches overpowered guns it horrible i do like the game but BFBC2 is going to be the best
Well to be honest being better than MW2 (PC version) is really not hard at all. MW2 on PC is so bugged, so screwed up, so filled with cheaters and n00b’s, so unbalanced and overall BAD. That it’s not really hard to top it.
Also the net code in MW2 is one of the worst I’ve seen in years. The game lags in pretty much every game and encountering “magic bullets” (getting killed by a player with smaller lag while in your vision he was still behind the wall) is very common.
I’m so extremely disappointed in MW2 that… ehh I think I will sell my left arm to buy new battlefield :/
You forgot to add that the PC version isn’t a crappy port like MW2 and is more balanced out compared to casual warfail 2.
While I’m pretty sure this will be the case, you should title this why it MIGHT or WILL be better. The game isn’t out yet, so anything could happen while in development. They could screw up (I happens, I’ve expirianced that pain), and while we hope this will be the case, we should hold on absolute judgement.
I’ve been playing the PC Beta for almost 3 weeks now.
This game is amazing. Destruction is so much fun. We’ve only got access to Rush mode in one map right now, but with their experience with, say, Conquest, it’s hard to imagine them making any huge mistakes at this point.
See you online!
Since DICE decided to choose a stupid colour-scheme for enemies and squad mates, colourblind players such as myself can’t tell the difference between them. This game is dead to me.
That bad company 1 funny trailers are awesome hahah
wat about battlefield heroes lol the only thing that rivals battlfield: bad company 2. jk but that is a fun free game
holy crap that was a good early review…. this is my favorite one yet!! awsome
FUCK YEAH call of duty should get there ass kicked by bad company this my opinion on how call of duty and bad company view themselves
call of duty: I am the best shooter ever praise me as the GOD of fps bow before and worship me WORSHIP ME.
bad company: Hey how it going you want to blow shit up, shoot stuff.and have some fun then come play with me and KICK SOME ASS YEAH.
thanks for reading
Oh yeah, looking forward to this little piece of software. Mostly because it will come with dedicated server and mod support. Fuck MW2!
I Totally agree that bad company is better than mw2!
Not to say that MAG is anywhere near the stature of MW2 or BBC2 but that skill tree strangly resembles the skill tree from MAG and so do the vehicles just saying if they add 256 player matches and faction war that gives bonuses to the winning faction I will convert until then
yay! The video lives! ^_^ I don’t have to feel like I’m going crazy thinking this never existed.
HELL YES! I hope this game IS better than Modern Warfare 2. Like you said, some competition never hurt anybody.
This game looks great! I can’t wait to play it. MW2 is a good game and all but I think this game might beat it.
OwO…. I CANT WAIT FOR THIS GAME!!!!!!!!!! Seriously i love open sandbox warfare that only the battlefield series has provided, i also find the replayability factor is a hell of a lot longer than call of duty. I was playing bad company long after MW came out and i had soooo much more fun playing it. A side note i like to mention would be that sniping at range requires much more skill in bad company as the bullets arc and dont instantly hit the target. See you on the battlefield… and pray your on my team
I love the battlefield series! I have Battlefield 1942: The Complete Collection, Battlefield 2, and Battlefield 2142 and i have to say they are amazing. I did rent Bad Company and thought it was super fun and had a good cast of characters. If i could get this game i would! P.S. I also like how they have that catchy theme in all of the games.
“Whatever. Call of Duty: Vietnam will be teh pwnzrs.”
To tell the truth, I actually thought Modern Warfare 2 was a bit of a let down in the multiplayer department, mostly because it seemed to favor those who play the game constantly rather than casual gamers (such as myself) who go in oblivious to many of the established kill zones and can only use a third of the game’s available weaponry. It doesn’t help that most teams I’m on either don’t communicate, drop out mid-game, or have that one asshole who simply calls everyone that kills him a d-bag.
Single-player and Spec Ops were fantastic in regards to story telling and gameplay, and I thought that they were perfectly timed to give the sense that you were actually playing an action movie. If Bad Company 2 can match Modern Warfare 2′s Campaign and provide a more compelling multiplayer mode, then they’ve already made a fan out of me.
I decided to pick up the multiplayer demo on the ps3 after watching your video, and I must say it is quite a bit of fun so far! Getting run down by a vehicle you never saw, or heard coming is actually kinda funny.
My only complaint is that it seems like attackers may have an enormous advantage, even with the respawn cap. That might just be me, though.
I’ve been waiting for this game for awhile it looks sick
I hope the humor still in the the Singleplayer Campaign, that’s what really hooked me on the first.
also totally agree with that “it’s war” bit because it’s true war isn’t fair so stop crying
I agree 100% I loved the banter between the characters and the Kelly’s Heros storyline. I hope either they are lying about the darker story or they somehow still make it funny, despite the darker feel.
Now that I think about it, why hasn’t there been a video game about Kelly’s Heros? That could be awsome.
I only played the demo version of BC2 and is very frustrating when you are the only one trying to do the objectives of the mission, some of the use of the vehicles seem unreal but it was only the demo. Love the fact you can destroy the environment.
NOT a FANBOY.
I like BF:BC2, but I’m a bit preoccupied with a lot of other games right now. I may go out and buy it a couple of months after release though, or maybe I’ll just rent it to see how the full game is.
Also, has anyone noticed how similar BF:BC2′s cover is to MW2′s?
srry, i ment Bad Company (the first one).
im not a fanboy, and i like BC 2, but i prefer MW 2. but again, thats just my opinion.
Weren’t you going to have an STO review last week?
You know what… I was one of those guys who loves the CoD:MW2 game. And had small hopes for Bad Company 2. But that have changed!
For all you noobs out there who cant get your ass off MW2, I say: CMON! You KNOW the MW2 campaign was basicly a copy of the first game! And the multiplayer, yea we’ve seen it before! ( Tho we really love the upgrade/unlock in the game moahaha )
Now I think personaly Joe that you’ve forgot the most EPIC thing about this release… The Conquest mode is fukkin’ back!!! The most LOVED game mode in the history of Battlefield. I’m hyped to buy this game.
And what you also forgot Joe, that they FINALY Balanced the overpowered tanks ( Yes Tanks / Airplanes was incredibly OP in BF 2. ) By simply making snipers and groundtroops anti-tanks.
A sniper can for example just “Mark” out a tank and “boom” it’s gone. Instead of making you swap class just to kill a tank… “and then what?”
This is what makes ME hyped about this release!
Anything comes to your mind about this info, Joe?
Awesome review as always ANGREHJoe. Keep it up!
Sorry for my bad english, I’m from sweden xD
Personally I thought the SP Campaign ruled, but what I’m really confused about is that noone is complaining about IWNet… I don’t know how it is on consoles, but it’s the most horrible thing ever on the PC. It does kinda seem, however, that FPS games are moving over to the consoles instead of PC.
I totally forgot about the addition of Conquest mode!!! I CANT FUCKING WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
about the overpowered vehicles… I think it was due to the huge amount of clases. Unless you were special ops or antitank, you were kinda screwed. 8 clases was just to much. That’s one of the things that look great on BC2
I hope on BF3 they keep the 4 clases (although spec ops was nice, maybe replace/weld it with recon)
I’m a little surprised that you didn’t mention about the squad focused scenario – 4 squads of 4 against each other for that really tactical and cooparative approach of a team. But good points either way ( the last one made me laugh!
Is it better? Can’t really say as the last BF I played was 2 and I’ve never played MW1 or 2. But I fully agree on that competition is good for everyone and every business! Push each other to the limit – show your competitor who can make a great, balanced game!
And ofc: Great video, Joe!

“I’m a little surprised that you didn’t mention about the squad focused scenario – 4 squads of 4 against each other for that really tactical and cooparative approach of a team.”
