Ever heard of bullet spread??? You're not supposed to constantly hold down the button to shoot anyone unless they're literally right in front of your face.
Even on hardcore mode it took half a dozen bullets from an LMG to kill anyone in BC2. At least in MW2 I have an expectation of people dying. There are some really cool things you can do in BC2, but at the end of the day it just wasn't as fun for me.
In BC 2 95% of the players are snipers so you get killed 2 seconds after you spawn or as soon as you try to run anywhere. Even if you manage to make it somewhere, the players are so fucking tiny you can't see them (plus they blend in with the environment). The guns are underpowered and inaccurate. It's basically the same as BF2, they just made some slight changes and called it BC2.
Well OP, you know after you buy Bad Company 2, we will be here to assist you in your learning process.
What are you waiting for? Stow your gear and fall in!
Maybe next time I get paid I will pick it up. Seems like a better investment than map packs for MW2, and nice to know there is an group of ANANDers that play as well. Wish I had a better PC to run it though... currently I'm stuck with my e8400 and 8800GT.
Oh give me a fucking break. 95 percent are snipers? You get killed 2 seconds after you spawn? LOL. Ignore this post OP.

I am currently running with that exact config. Of course, the e8400 is OC to 3.6Ghz, and the 8800Gt is running at some mild factory OC.
Running @1680x1050 with medium graphic settings. I think I average about 50 FPS. Well playable. We can discuss more detailed settings when the time comes.
Yea, pontifex has a knack for overblowing the sniper problem in bc2. He takes every chance to blast bc2 and praise mw2.
I used to run my e8400 @ 3.8GHz, but it won't remain stable anymore . When the time comes maybe I'll shoot you a PM to get some idea of what settings are best.

I am a veteran of FPS games. It is MUCH easier to kill someone in MW2 than in BC2. Only takes 2 bullets if no headshot in MW2, and that's not hardcore mode.
its been a while since I played MW2 but I think 2 bullets in non HC is not correct....
I agree with what some people have mentioned, the big battles in BC2 just feel a lot more epic; something that you can't get with MW2. When there's that last objective to blow up etc. the battle can get quite intense. Also it seems a lot more team-based with the 4man squad system etc. Of course there are always those all-sniper squads which each member just goes solo (lame) but often times you get into a squad that's pretty versatile (1 medic, assault, recon, engineer) and sticks together and you have great fun. For some reason though I do terrible in the PC version of BC2 versus the console Xbox360 version (I own both).
This swings both ways. It may be easier to kill someone in MW2, but it's also a lot easier to be taken down by someone you didn't even know was there.
I never noticed any epic battles in BC2 compared to MW2.
The thing I always missed playing BC2 was the javelin. So often I wished I had it.
what are your AA settings? i have similar hardware and i set everything on medium except effects (put it on low because i think it helps lessen dust/sand) at times i get massive fps drops but most of the times i average about 50 too. i'm trying to figure out which AA setting is optimal, i have it at 4x right now.
