Bad Company 2 or C.O.D. 2

These games really took off with offline play, and even more so , online play. "Life" playing C.O.D. is like counter strike and really has similarities in map layouts, and artistic elements. A few of these are such artistic elements such as the bullet firing flashing, the entire health system, and playing the role as a member of a squad. I feel that it was a little harder to survive and realized the simple mechanics of it. Later on in the game I improved and started playing it felt good for a little while, and then really made the grade with my red dot sight scope one the S.C.A.R.

Battlefield gives you a large map every time, and this leaves room for sniping campers. The feel of it is actually great because you feel powerful, because even a heli or tank can be taken out, but with skill and practice you can also master these as weapons of mass destruction. The classes are fairly balanced, although I would like to have more of a free range of weapons and tools from both C.O.D. and Battlefield.

I'd love to be a sniper who also carries a stim pack or rocket launcher. The game might take a turn for the worst if everyone were running around with all these weapons but it would also make it more unpredictable and you could not be strategically judged based on your class.

Ultimately C.O.D. has more ways to play, but Battlefield gives you a lot more chance to prove yourself with vehicles and classes. So I'll let you decide, but I know when I pick up the controller next I want to be in a helicopter taking out boats, not stuck on a map with protective walls, the games are both incredible to look at and feature some interesting levels and online maps, so either one you are picking up a game where you will find lots of people online and lots of customizable features.
