    For me the crappy multiplayer is just one of the many problems with BFBC2. Modern Combat 2 also has better controls, better graphics, better campaign, better AI, and surprisingly better voice acting.

    MC2 has a horrible campaign. Awful. Just awful. Don't get me wrong. It's starts out well enough. But then the whole thing just falls apart.

    As far as MP goes, Gameloft's warfare games just don't play the way that the are supposed to play. The ability for you to aim down the sight of a gun is essentially broken. It's complelely non-functional. Iron sights are too slow to respond to command and they don't track fast enough, so people tend not to use them at all. This is the case with BIA2, as well as Modern Combat 1 and 2. The end result is that most people tend to run and gun instead, spraying and praying. Just run around the map, get close enough to someone, and then shoot them without ever aiming down the sight.

    Gameloft must repair the ability to effectively aim down your sights. If they somehow achieved that here, then this game will become instantaneously better than any of their previous efforts. If they fail to repair general sight useage, then this game will not play anything like how a Rainbow Six game was intended.

    i'm a fan of gameloft FPS games especially when i first played MC1 but i agree with altair77
    i finished both MC2 and BFBC2 and i can say BFBC2 could have been the clear winner if it has better MP,longer campaign and better controls......that game make me realize that (yes) Gameloft games lack something special that other veteran company-made games give to gamer,don't get me wrong,i enjoyed both but i enjoyed BFBC2 more even though the latter levels are short :p

    IMO gameloft still has the best iOS FPS controlls though.

    I thought MC2 had a great campaign. My only problem was that the ending was dragged out for too long, but at least it was better than BFBC2 which has an awful ending (probably the most stupid ending I've ever seen in a game).

    And I'm not quite sure why you're having a problem with the iron sights. I think they work very well. Most of my kills in the multiplayer have been made using the iron sights and I find switching to iron sights to be very responsive.

    Yeah iron sights work well for me also. Just aim and zoom and kill. I don't see a problem.

    Bad Company 2 has a terrible campaign in the console variant as well. I have it on PC and I literally had to force myself to play it. However, the vehicular 32-player multiplayer made up for that 5 times over.

    Modern Combat 2's campaign is better, but nothing to brag about either.

    On a scale of 1-10 iPod BBC2's Campaign gets a [2/10] and MC2 gets a [5/10]. I'll give NOVA 2 a [6.5/10]. PC BBC2 [6/10] for breathtaking graphics (which is why I didn't put "/console" there) MW2 [10/10]

    For multiplayer I'll give BC2 [6/10], MC2 [8.5/10] and NOVA 2 [8/10].

    I would give NOVA 2 a 9.5 but there are frame rate issues when there are more than 5 players on the screen. Bad Company 2 WOULD get a [2/10] for multiplayer but the frame rate is very smooth, almost 60 FPS locked, so I give it +4.

    PC BC2 multiplayer is like a [100/10] though. PC/Console MW2 multiplayer [50/10]. PC Console Black Ops multiplayer [9/10].

    This is where every competitor falls apart. I haven't seen an FPS game yet that can match Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare series in campaign. There is just zero competition when it comes to storyline, depth, action, etc. I just love how you play different characters in parallel stories and then it converges into one. EA has easily beat out CoD multiplayer with BattleField, but no one seems to get the campaign just right.

    Not Black Ops either. It has a decent campaign, but it has some annoying bugs and it is too linear for my liking.

    One thing I like about the Modern Warfare games is the loading screen vids that tell the story! I hope Gameloft has something like those in their future FPS games. :p

    BFBC2 imo stinks, the controls are bad, the graphics are not so hot. so yeah i would say buy MC2. it is a fun game in single player, and an awesome multiplayer game. sure the single player story is sub par, but hey i enjoyed it. the multiplayer is where the game shines, the controls are spot on. in the first 1 minute, you will see the difference control wise between this and BFBC2.

    i feel like they're gonna ruin this like how they ruined splinter cell. I might not get this every gameloft game feel too similar to one another like everygame uses the "gameloft color scheme" and the engine is reused in every game

    It's probably not going to be splinter cell quality because it's already been a good half year since that so they should have improved. And they do put in extra quality into their ubisoft ports I would say, or at least they try to. But yes, I'm also hoping they're using some type of new engine or something, I want to see nova 2/mc 2/shadow guardian nice graphics!!

    after Starfront Collision and Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden are free + iap not doubt anything that this game is the same thing free + iap, Gameloft is doing this to combat piracy?! but not very good because yesterday is already out the crack to get the free dlc Starfront Collision with, if the 2 games mentioned were paid I think gameloft would make more money (sorry my english)
