I've played quite a lot of BC2 since it was first released and it always had it's ups and downs but in general I had a pretty good time and was getting pretty good scores. It seems lately however since that first ~400mb patch the game has become a lot more inconsistent.

Maybe I'm just having a run of bad luck, but it seems like instead of getting good scores I'm getting insta killed a lot more and if I'm in a firefight with someone most of the time my opponent seems to come out with 100% health when I clearly unloaded a clip into them, or the most common occurrence is that they survive with <10% health. It barely used to happen before, but it seems like almost every time I die the person that killed me survives with a sliver of health which is just ruining the game for me.

So has anyone else noticed this or is it just me?
 
Noticed my skill gone down a lot, used to be brilliant with all classes, but seem to be a jack of all trades, master of **** all on bc2 at the moment.

Too many half-full (half-empty?) games on PS3 at the moment, incredibly frustrating. Also annoyed that even on Hardcore, people will often just wander around the map and treat it like deathmatch, seemingly oblivious to the actual objectives.
 
We could do with some new maps soon too. I mean actual new maps, not the same maps we've been playing for months already and were already on the disc since day one but with different game modes on.

Onslaught has been a bit disappointing too. Still like the game, but it feels like for all its successes, EA/Dice aren't doing a particularly tremendous job at keeping it top.
 
I must admit I shake my head in amazement at the killcam when it says my killer has 100% or 6% health remaining. I blame it on lag. :D They simply must have seen me before I saw them. Also there are times when I definitely let go of the trigger too soon thinking my opponent is dead when in fact they are not and they finish me off.

But these days I never go without loading up the magnum ammo. I'm sure it does make a difference.
 
I got worse after that patch you talked about, it used to be that I was a demon Engi, but they nerfed the engi SMGs which completely screwed me over.
So I persevered and got used to it, now I'm decent again, you just need to adapt.
I think it helped that I shifted over to Hardcore mode too, I find it a much more enjoyable experience, although of late I've been in a couple of games where pretty much my entire team (not squad, TEAM) was playing sniper class, which hacks me off greatly. I just left the game and started another though, bit annoying, but I suppose you'll always get moments like that once in a while on any class based online game.
Ironically, I'm playing sniper a lot atm, but more in the special ops type vein, rifle with 4x scope and C4 can be surprisingly effective in close combat.
 
Bad Comapny 2 has not been on my list for months, it went out of the window when they changed all of the weapon damage for the second time,

The Engineer smgs are still overpowered. I take out snipers with them on the other side of the map.

Not really played this in couple of weeks. Has been my favourite shooter for some time, so hoping they haven't messed it up much.

I hadn't noticed any glaring irregularities. Just about to start all over again from level 1 on Xbox now... no pins, no insignias, nothing. This is gonna be weird... :D
 
ALL the weapons are overpowered...
The game has got to the point where most people that are still playing can easily pull off headshots... the only class which is abit amiss I think is recon, it's easier to snipe with assault rifles and smg's
