What is the best game to play online for the Xbox 360?
Looking at getting CoD Modern Warfare 2 as I have been told it has the best map / gameplay, any other suggestions?
 
It's a good time to pick up Bad Company 2 imo with all the addons (excepting 1943) on offer on XBL from tomorrow until the 11th of April.

Vietnam - 600 MS Points, 50% saving on the usual 1200

Onslaught Mode - 200 MS Points, 50% saving on the usual 400

Battlefield 1943: - 600 MS Points, 50% saving on the usual 1200

Specact Upgrade Bundle - 240 MS Points, 50% saving on the usual 480

Kit Shortcut Bundle Pack - 600 MS Points, 50% saving on the usual 1200

You must play in a squad to get the best out of it though. The Vietnam addon is a great way to level up and unlock weapons, attachments and specialisations for the Core game without the pain of using the starting weapons. Or of course you could buy the Kit Shortcut bundle.
 
(sorry to ninja the thread!)

It's not hard to look this stuff up, but here you go: Vietnam addon

5 new maps, 15 era specific weapons, 6 era specific vehicles, as well as the addition of new awards and 10 new achievements/trophies.

Major differences from Battlefield: Bad Company 2

* Smaller maps designed to prevent long lines of sight, with the addition of a large amount of foliage and structures, make combat much closer.
* Subtle kit balancing.
* Weapon damage in general is increased.
* Lack of Red Dot Sight, 4X Rifle Scope and Sniper Spotting Scope as usable specializations.
* Era specific character models and character dialog.
* Addition of the Flamethrower as an infantry weapon and on tanks (replacing the Co-Axial MG for the Alternate Weapon Package), which can affect players and their surroundings alike.

One thing I wish they had dropped in Vietnam is Magnum ammo and Ceramic armour. It's a bit of a pain to have to drop a squad/loadout beneficial specialisation just to counter a bunch of players still not happy with the increased damage. Vehicle/infantry balance is a bit better too.

A bargain compared to COD map packs.

BC2 drives me mad on the Xbox. I can barely make out anything on my 32" tele from the distance I'm sat.

Spawn... walk... "is that a...?" *BANG, DEAD*

Spawn... *BANG, DEAD*

Spawn... run... hide... oh, a person... rat tat tat... hit 'em once or twice... reload... move... "is that him....? no... wait, maybe..." *BANG, DEAD*

Got it on PC too and find it much more manageable there (besides the crazily overwrought snow/smoke effects that leave you literally unable to see anything). Still, I'll prob pick up Vietnam for the Xbox at that reduced price as I do find that one a lot more fun than the vanilla BC2 MP.
 
I agree it can make you rage like no other, but at those times it mostly has to do with being in rubbish squads and teams. Sometimes I've recon'd for teams and it's been insane like guiding a pack of wolves killing anyone you spot in seconds.
