The Battlefield series are fun because they actually take skill to play, unlike other FPS, and yes I'm a big Halo Fanboy so I can say things like this. BC1 I was not a fan of because it was a downgrade in my opinion from Battlefield 2. The graphics were outstanding but the gameplay not so much. You'd shoot so many bullets from your LMG or even a shotgun and it would barely do anything, while in BC2 it seems as if they are in the right direction because it takes just the right amount of bullets to kill someone and the Sniper is perfect balance now.
In BC2 demo you can see how you can unlock attachments for your guns and vehicles, which I find amusing. Having a Red Dot Sight finally on your gun is going to come in handy, but in the demo you can not unlock any of that stuff besides 1 vehicle perk, which increases the accuracy of whatever you are firing. Also there seems to be more guns and 3 guns which I find really great edition to this game. The 3 guns are classics from the Battlefield 1943 arcade game. The M1A1 Sub-Machine Gun, M1 Semi-automatic Rifle, and the M1911 Pistol. These are all American guns from the demo since BC2 is about the Americans. It's going to be fun using these classic weapons, but the only way to get them is by getting the Collectors Edition which is the same price as normal right now and being a Veteran status for the M1 Semi-automatic Rifle. Most likely though down the road they will unlock these for everyone, just as they did for the original 5 from BC1.
There's a lot more to be said about Battlefield Bad Company 2 that I just don't feel like typing at the moment, so if you want to learn more about this game then download the demo or wait till it's release on the 2nd of March.
