    Ironically, this sub franchise is BETTER than the mainstream one. Better story and writing, ACTUAL characters. I still remember their names 10 ten years later because they were that memorable. Better multiplayer too tbh. Everyone knew their jobs back then. Assault knew when to drop ammo. Engineer repaired friendly vehicles and DIDN'T hog it for himself. Snipers spotted enemies and were a menace. Medics revived and healed their comrades.

      MP wise it also had private servers and most importantly hardcore mode.
      Shotguns were not video game close range blasters but acutally versatile.
      They had destructible terrain and roles were as you said very important.
      The trend with the mainstream continues down.

      Makes me think of the good ol xbox days. I remember me and a buddy were bounding across the map as snipers, trying to be sneaky with the low walls and bushes on Heavy Metal. Whispering, moving from cover to cover so we can steal the enemy team's chopper. Then it came to my realization, "Why are we whispering? We're in party chat! No one can hear us!"

I was absolutely blown away hearing this game cranked up on my speakers for the first time, especially with that one audio setting set to "war tapes". The punch of the guns and explosions was just amazing.

    This game defined my battlefield experience. The multiplayer used interesting weapons, diverse map sets, extremely fun destruction, the vehicle gameplay was also really fun, and the batches often led to some insane battles to defend a point that was crumbling to the ground. I have never had so much fun in a battlefield game ever since. I think part of what freed this game from some of the doledrums of what other games were and are experiencing today is exactly what drewski says here. The game didn’t take itself too seriously. It did have its moments of realism and grit, but it didn’t take itself too seriously

    One thing I remember about BC2's multiplayer that I had a lot of fun with were the UAV terminals. You could mount a MG on them, ram people, and call in cruise missiles to hit tanks and damage buildings. I'd always hog them when I got the chance, because as long as you hung back and didn't get into the thick of things, you could spot enemies and drop cruise missiles the whole match and just get a shitload of points for effectively playing a point and click adventure game.
    One Rush match I was sitting on the terminal for so long that when someone finally shot down the UAV, I was out of bounds because the friendly spawn had moved up.
