A biased IGN Review of BC2...
Ok, I have watched this review many times, from different points of view, and it is hard not to get frustrated. You feel like you want to go and tell Eric or whatever that he is [i]wrong[/i], and needs to view the game objectively, instead of from a MW2 fanboy perspective.
[url=http://xbox360.ign.com/articles/107/1072632p1.html]IGN Bad Company 2 Review[/url]
Once you've watched the video and read the review, how can you not almost laugh at the things he is saying? "Matches ending abruptly when you win..."? What -blam!-ing game doesn't "abruptly end" when you win? That is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard in a review. "DICE seems to have taken a que from MW2 and tried for a large cinematic scope...". WHAT? MW2 has a cinematic feel to it, but nothing about it really feels "large". It always feels like you are being herded through straight paths towards the terrorists, Sgt. Foley shouting "RAMIREZ, CALL IN THE NUKE!" And if the nonstop action "hurts the cinematic feel they are trying to go for", how do you know they are going for a cinematic feel? What if they just want to make the campaign an epic action experience, with a coolish story tied in? Very contradictory IMO...
And then it is the stupid thing, "you are a super rambo soldier who can activate any vehicle". Eric, STOP PLAYING THE SNOWMOBILE SECQUENCE FROM MW2, AND REALIZE THAT HALF OF THIS GAME IS ABOUT VEHICLES! What is DICE supposed to do? Make you go through training every time you spot a new vehicle? Just get your mind around the fact that this game is vehicle oriented, and stop complaining on "how is my soldier supposed to know how to drive all of these things?" And then, the complaining comes to the "shortness" of the campaign. "6 hours" in Eric's personal opinion is much too short, where he, being the MW2 expert he is, could probably blow through the MW2 campaign on normal from 3 1/2 - 4 hours. If you mark off for a "short" campaign, than shouldn't MW2 be hammered by an objective review for it's extremely short campaign? Guess not. He keeps comparing the two, so why does he throw in the "short" blast...
And another thing, campaign really is just an extra part of this game, but what everybody will be doing is the multiplayer. So why spend so much time on the campaign which is somewhat irrelevant to the game, yet so little on the epic multiplayer experience at hand. Also, you [i]know[/i] this guys is a CoD fanatic when he mentions SPECIALIZATIONS as "PERKs". And they work "similar to that of in CoD"? Right, because realistic specializations (i.e. lightweight clothing/grenade vest) work a lot like "OMGZ I CAN RUN 25 MPH AND LUNGE THE LENGHT OF THE FOOTBALL FIELD, AND I TAKE A SPECIAL PILL SO I CAN EAT BULLETS FOR BREAKFAST NAM NAM NAM"
*facepalm*
Now, it is hard to look at this review objectively for me because I am a huge fan of the Battlefield franchise, but it just disappointing me when a site as acclaimed as IGN puts out a review that is simply, biased. And the fact that Bad Company's 2 sound got a 9/10 is just the end of the line. If the fake and computer generated sounds of MW2 gets a 10, and the HDR audio system used by DICE in this game gets a 9, then I don't know what to say to IGN.

Thoughts?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] kanso1115 I raged as well, he basically spent most of his review on the campaign and then added the multiplayer part as an afterthought. He is missing the point, the single player is just the minor part of the game, and the online is where its at. If he did the same thing with MW2 it would have gotten a score like this as well, maybe even worse with all the problems in multiplayer.[/quote] I agree, Battlefield has always been about the epic Multiplayer, but he dwells on the campaign like it needs to live up to some epic standing. Really, when it's just an extra to the game...

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] PwnaFide I agree with pretty much everything said by the reviewer, as fan of both BF and CoD. The comments on the campaign are, I feel, warranted (MW2's campaign got some bad press too, for good reason) and as for the comparisons to IW's shooter, that's just how it goes. Every futuristic shooter will be compared to Halo. Every modern-day shooter will be compared to CoD. Nothing wrong with that. And the sound and cinematics have always been hallmarks of the IW CoD's. It's what set CoD apart from MoH. Also, I see nothing but praise here for the multiplayer, which is sure to be nothing short of awesome. [/quote] Why should battlefeild be compared to CoD. BF has been around much longer and has had much more expeience with many more games than IW and Treyarch have made. If anything they should compare CoD to battlefeild. Also Battlefeild games never had a campaign before the The first BF:ModernCombat game and even then it was more like multiplayer in campaign with bots. BF is mainly a multiplayer series and campaign for BFBC 1 was good and i expect no less from BFBC2. Not that CoDS bad but all the new gamers who bought their Xbox's and started playing games when CoD4 came out have no idea what their talking about. they never play any other games, the new era of gamers are all bias and hardcore fanboys. honestly i play almost all games like BF,Halo, CoD and all other games really. Except for Crappy Final Fantasy and all the other Japanese rpgs. The only japanese rpg i ever liked was Chrono trigger because all the art was done by the people that created DBZ

game informers review was pretty much the same except they gave it a 9.4

Of course, that might be why he reviewed the campaign mostly: he's a campaign junkie.[/quote] Actually, he is like the RPG Xbox 360 guy at IGN, so why the hell IGN gave him BC2 is beyond me. Let a FPS person who understands that campaign is a small part of the game, and someone who WONT BE SO BIASED towards MW2 review this game. Seriously.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Scortch 2486 I never listen to IGN they are probably the most biased game review people of all time I mean come on gameinformer gave it a 9.5 out of 10!!!! Then Gameinformer talks about how the online for MW2 is messed up and frustrating and then IGN says its not and its the best multiplayer out there they don't even talk about all of the glitches and b s in the game and trust me they know it is there but won't admit it Gameinformer usually gets things right i mean i think that they should have rated Bioshock 2 an 8.50 at least and Aliens Vs Predator deserved a 7 or a 6.8 but that is about it. It is plain and simple IGN = Biased ALL the time and Gameinformer= Biased rarely I listen to gameinformer not IGN[/quote]Or you could just not listen to reviews at all...

I have to agree with ign, BC 2 is a cheap knock off of MW 2, as MW 2 is a horrible game overall, so two bad games =)!

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] killbox119 I think he should go back to collage and learn how to write/record a good review without soo many comparisens to MW2.[/quote] Why wouldn't he compare it to MW2? Whenever you're looking at anything you normally compare it to the best thing on the market. He's not comparing it to MW2 because hes a fanboy. He would probably compare a sci-fi RPG to Mass Effect 2, because ME2 is the best sci-fi RPG on the market.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Ghostrider2121[/quote] Ok, I respect your opinion. But how is it better than BFBC2. In MY opinion MW2 is terrible and broken. Is BFBC2 not your style or?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Crump [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] darthstewieg[/quote] You're basically saying he's a fanboy. I bet you're a MW2 fanboy who can't accept that a game is better than MW2. [/quote] MW 2 is [i]waaay[/i] better than BC 2.

If people think that AvP is like Halo then...wow.
