My friend can't decide which one to get for ps3, and wants to know the pros and cons. I personally own battlefield bad company 2 and I love it. Haven't played BO yet and I don't wanna steer my friend away from it just because mw2 sucked. For all I know BO might be a really good game :P Also, don't list pros/cons for either game if you haven't played it yet. and please don't put down a game if you only played it for a day/only played the demo. example: a pro for bfbc2 is that it's a very realistic game (realistic bullet mechanics, better environment graphics, fully destructible environment) and that the maps are bigger. a con for bfbc2 is that some people say the gun graphics aren't as good as cod (which isn't true, bfbc2 guns are just camouflaged so they aren't as shiny as the ones in cod) Now you go :D

Well I agree with Travis2, shooter games don't amuse me as much as other game genres, all it seems like is shoot shoot shoot dead (yes I have played MW2 but that's just my opinion). OT: I really have no idea. Edit: Well from what you're saying BFBC2 sounds better so just get that.

Black Ops is a revamped MW2. Get BC2, it's an amazing game. (I own all three of the listed games, for Xbox.)

[quote] EzioDexless : the game mechanics i.e. in cod if you get some kill streak you get nukes or something. In BC2 there are no kill streaks, and definitely no nukes. playing style, same as above, in cod mw2 people camp just to get higher kill streaks. In BC2 it's more objective based physics engine, in cod you can shoot a mile away at a moving target and you will hit him instantly, no bullet drop. In BC2 you have to lead him because the bullet doesn't hit instantly, and you have to adjust for bullet drop. for server hosting, in cod the games are hosted by a person, so it's possible to hack and it lags. In BC2 the games are hosted by a dedicated server, so 0 lag and no hacks. for community, obviously every game has a different community. I've found that BC2 is played by more mature players, or atleast in my experiences. for game modes, im actually not sure what game modes cod has but i'm sure it has different ones then bc2 [/quote] If that is correct that BC is played by more mature audiences then why would you consider getting COD? The thing about nukes in COD just makes COD seem unrealistic, you still use the same basic weapons, rifle, pistol, sniper, grenades, etc. Streaks and etc. aren't really what I was looking for, how does the gameplay differ? In both games I see the person running around with a gun shooting people. Camping isn't exclusive to COD, I've seen people in Halo who camp. I'm not interested in game mechanics and servers, because obviously those would be different. I was aiming for a gameplay difference.

(and there's no nuke killsteak) The rest is true though, but i can't say anything about the maturity since im usually in party chat with my friends anyway.
