Hey every one, it's been a while! Comcast made getting internet at my new place impossible but I FINALLY got internet and am returning to streaming/posting videos. If you could link this video around it would really help as I'm sure I've been pushed out of suggested videos after not being able to post for a few weeks. I'm also able to stream again! If you want to come hang out then give a follow! www.twitch.tv/jarek4gamingdragon
Welcome back 👍🏾
JarekTheGamingDragon ok can someone please explain what a comcast is?
Great review! Totally agree that the BC2 singleplayer felt like a very meh CoD campaign. But that multiplayer is still some of the best in the franchise.
(Sorry for the long venting comment)
I had the exact same experience with Comcast! I moved & they said there was a block on the address for "fraud" & they kept bouncing me between departments. Some of them would say there is a block & I needed to send proof it was under new ownership. But then when they would transfer me to the department to do that, they would act like I was crazy saying that blocking an address was not even a thing that is done. Eventually, they just agreed to send a guy to check it out & he just said he had never heard of a house being blocked and had me up and connected in like 20 minutes.
@@Toadink This is EXACTLY what happened to me. Someone would tell me it's blocked, someone else would tell me it wasn't, then I'd be told that I'll get a call with an update soon. Of course, I would never get that call and nothing would get done without me calling them. Eventually I got so pissed off that I told them I am not hanging up until they fix my problem and demanded money back due to how ridiculous the situation was.
I know it sounds like a lot of hoops to jump through, but should something like that happen again, you could make a video, plug your phone into your pc, transfer the video to your phone, and then either go to someones place that has a connection, or like a coffee shop or whatever, and upload it that way. Or, if you you have a decent data plan, just do it with that. Even if you didn't want to go through all that, you could just film some little thing with your phone, and throw it up to stay in the recommended lists. I know you put a lot of work into your videos, and probably don't like the idea of posting a raw phone video, but I doubt anyone would complain, especially if you just explain the situation like you did here. I'm sure I can speak for most of your viewers in saying that we'd gladly put up with a phone upload to help you out while you get things sorted on your end. ^_^
this game's singleplayer made me angry because it totally ignores the ending of the first game and is so much more linear and lacks the vehicles.
+Jooglesberry I'm not sure what they could have done to follow up on the first game's story. The whole squad want AWOL, they'd all either go to jail, or get away with it and retire to a quiet part of the world. Not exactly fps story material.
Coming from 1 it was such a letdown that i didn't even finished it...
Maybe lacked things but still a masterpiece.
True,that's why most BF fans don't even know about Bad Company 1.
@@miliciaganado5219 Well, Bad Company 1 never got ported to PC.
I think the multiplayer was supposed to be the "end" of bad company 2. Where as; The areas that were being invaded on the ending map screen in singleplayer are the maps you play in multiplayer.
BannanaTrunks this sounds intriguing but I can’t quite understand what you’re saying, could you explain?
@@wyatt4790 you would be playing the outcome of the final invasions. It had cutscenes when one team would win if I remembered correctly.
yeah you're correct, at the end of singleplayer the russians are 'coming in through alaska', and in the multiplayer there are multiple maps set in alaska with various ending animations depending on which side wins. The russians are also in south america for the other maps.
I can't believe I finally get some closure on this issue that has been bugging me for a decade. Thank you.
Glad to see that your internet is back. Internet problems are amazing huh?
Edit- As I was writing this comment, my internet died...
Meh too XD using mobile 4g dang I wanna BC2 Oh facc
Since Battlefield 5 underperformed, I’m curious if EA will green light Bad Company 3 in order to bring back fans.
No please God no.
Righteous, I hope they do.
If they do decide to make Bad Company 3, they need to do it with the gameplay mechanics, level design and story of the first Bad Company, because that game was superior in every way.
Battlefield Victory*
Dice has said the V isn't a 5 and it stands for Victory, despite V being a roman numeral for 5 as we all know.
You should analyze the rest of the Battlefield campaigns (BF3, BF4, BF1, and BFV)
iyad2446 I actually enjoyed Hardline. Both single player and multiplayer. It’s not the best game but I found bf4 and hardline in a bundle on Xbox one for about 4 bucks.
Bf1 and bfv war stories are fucking shit tbh tho. The other ones and hardline are solid enough to be analyzed tho.
@CodeFruit04 ok, I did rushed to try and get a point across without much thought put into it, but since you replied so kindly I guess I should elaborate more.
A battlefield game's campaign is something very hard to convey or even attempt to do. You either should try to emulate some semblance of a multiplayer battlefield or you can go the cinematic call of duty way. You see, we did had some good resemblance of multiplayer matches with bad company but dice ditched that away with BF3. Which has a rather mediocre campaign. Not bad. Just mediocre. Then 4 came and tried some bold implementations with map size, vehicles and what not, but still: BF's campaigns struggle to get the awesomeness of multiplayer into single player experiences. But, at least you had a cohesive storyline to follow through, some different locations and scenarios to implement some MP mechanics and there you go. Now, BF1 and BFV war stories? They have no continuity, they're nothing like the multiplayer and their production value is just... Not there. Take COD WWII set pieces and cinematic crap and compare to the aforementioned entries in BF series... They tried both and failed miserably on both accounts.
They don't give you a single taste of what should a MP match feels like and they're very bad "mission generator" kinda of levels you'd get from a user in a far cry game. The developers used MP assets to put together single player campaign but there's not an inch of care or thought put into them. The cutscenes looks gorgeous but the missions themselves are laughably bad. Battlefield should have instant action options with bots just like battlefront does for single players or a good single player campaign like titanfall 2. Anything else is a bad implementation of really competent systems. I know I'm ranting, but 3 and 4 campaigns at least looked and felt cohesive while 1 and V is just an offense to anyone who bought the games and expected solid offline content.
@@mrxlvcrft BF3 campaign its just a cod copy bullshit, the most linear AAA campaign, its offensive! Dont have anything of BF there, no vehicles, no destruction, no sandbox and no loadouts, just corridor sequences and a stupid AI, and the game was full of bugs.
Not to mention the terrible "jet" mission, that only is a on rails torret mission, but worst, with nothing to see but the air, why the f4ck you arent the pilot!
BF1 is just ok, nothing amazing like Bad Company 1, but not offensive like BF3, i dont give a shit if the story is bad or not, this is the less important, i care about the gameplay, and BF1 is the closer you can get of a multiplayer expirience.
And yes, bots are much better than campaign, like in the first bfs, but dont do like BF2, that have only the 16 players maps and you need to mod the game to play that on the true maps, but even with 16 still better than the campaigns after Bad Company.
I'm really glad to see a review on here that criticized the campaign for particularly the writing and characters. Everyone praises the campaign, and I tried so hard to understand why, it just frustrates me. The whole thing feels soulless.
Yeah, it was the main thing everybody criticized when the game came out, so to see it lavished with praise in the years since was confusing to me.
I haven't played the 2nd one but I played the first one for the first time a few months ago and I honestly kinda hated it. Story, characters and writing was all kinda shitty. Didn't like the controls either
Facts💯 The characters in the first were funny af. In the second one, they seemed all serious.
@@space_morpher1450 They were trying to be all Modern Warfare-y since.... Well the competitor at the time was MW2
I totally disagree with that, it's still my favorite Battlefield campaign.
Frick Comcast. My mommy says i can't swear
Comcast is legit fucking trash
Dude you're on the internet let alone RUclips... actually you know what scratch what I was gonna say because RUclips.
@@lathrin Hopefully Jarek doesn't get throttled like mad by them, no joke I've heard from people that Comcast has been doing that to some customers, in case anyone doesn't know throttling is basically making your internet service be horrible than what its suppose to be, like for example if Jarek paid to have 30Gbs of data and one day it was dropped to 10gbs of data, that's them throttling your connection and from what I also heard they can also dictate where you go with it so if there's a site they don't like well then you're not getting access to it.
@@cursedhawkins1305
That website blocking is used by all providers, most are lenient.
And yeah I've heard the same about Comcast.
I wouldn't know however, seeing as Spectrum and AT&T are the dominant ones in my area.
(I use Spectrum)
Oh well just use Frick. We know what you mean.
Also have a nice day to you and your mommy.
I didn't realize you can toggle zoom for the 4x scope
Edit: oh, so it's a third party FoV doohickey
Hello, Algorithm. Are snakes neckless or are they just one long neck?
Hi, Jarek. Hope this helps.
definitely a really long neck
small neck, long body, short tail.
@@MrCheesyBaconBits so where does the neck end and the body and tail begins?
@@realgamergirl4638
What about the dick. Dont forget the dick.
They're all dick
Honestly as well, you could consider the multiplayer as the extension of the campaign with the war with russia lmao
I comented this already but maybe you could compare Borderlands 1 with Borderlands 2. Its good to see your videos again ♥️
Yeah, that would be cool. Unpopular opinion, but I liked 1 more than 2
@@johbowfor same
You should review a game called section 8 prejudice, it's and interesting idea but poorly executed in my opinion.
Gonna leave a comment to support ya in the algorithm. I’m still kicking myself over missing Pt. 2 of the stream.
For such a good story in BC1 (where the plot was more an action movie/comedy than a video game) it’s disappointing to see BC2 have such a toned-down, Call of Duty-esque Modern Warfare plot... that they never finished. It’s been almost a decade and there’s no sign of BC3 coming anytime soon.
They even threw in an ‘invasion of the US’ thing at the end, despite the fact that such a plot point was mocked in CoD as being nonsensical. (There’s a million reasons why an invasion through Alaska will never work, let alone an invasion and annexation of Canada plus a huge part of the US itself- but that’s a discussion for another time.)
There was also some padding that could’ve been avoided. Like you mentioned the vehicle segments are drawn-out and could’ve been skipped with no detriment to the story. Remember that puzzle with the shipping containers in the desert? Remember how you stumbled around not sure of where to go for a good 6 minutes before resorting to a walkthrough? That surely wasn’t necessary and was obviously there just to waste time.
However - the character designs are great, the settings are superb and the sounds are exquisite.
The Russian Medic is still the most handsomest character in gaming
The first two thirds of the campaign are pretty good, with some interesting mechanics and setpieces. The last third is so, so bad - totally rushed, a brutal "cinematic" climax, and some of the lamest corridor level design I've ever seen.
Hey, Jarek. Can you recommend any combined arms game like Battlefield but with offline bots? All I know is Quake Wars and Section 8 which I also want to see your opinion on. I really wish modern FPSs put bots again instead of shoving unnecessary and expensive campaigns that I'm only gonna play through once.
Also, sorry that you had to move. I didn't know the Resistance community was that bad.
The moving part was good. This house is MUCH better than our last one. It's the internet part that sucked.
I'm not Jarek but Battlefield 2 has bots
@@Jarekthegamingdragon Yeah, two weeks worth of salary missed plus further repercussions to your channel really sucks. Hope you're still doing well. I know this RUclips thing is really hard and scary considering the Algorithm may have already replaced you with horrible people in people's recommendations.
I was just referring to how the entire Half Life 2 community drove you to get protective services, get a new address and a new identity just because you said the first one was better.
@@lathrin yeah but 2 is really dated. I was hoping something more modern like Bad Company 2 but with bots. I just hate how triple a FPSs now avoid offline bots because it's against their "live service" model which requires players to always be online, for the eshop to always be available, like it's our job but we pay them instead.
The single player was good. Multiplayer, however......WAS FUCKING GOD TIER.
Wow literally as i finished replaying BFBC2
"Hey sarge, do you say Fifty Cent or Fity Cent?" Haggs
the idleness was worth it
Ikr the humor elements here are so sparse compared to BC1
@@ArcturusOTE Slap me hard and call me Elderado! Gold!
Still waiting for Bad Company 3.
We have Spectrum here in Orlando, they have the monopoly here as well. I have 1GB internet speed. The only other option is Century Link which can give me up to 30MB. So it's no competition.
My favorite thing about bc2 is the movement mechanics and the gun play. Levels are definitely amazing, story is good and I loved the characters.
Bad Company 2 was the last BF where you could truly destroy everything. I have no idea why, but in each subsequent BF game they turned down the destruction to what were currently at. Pretty sure "blow it up, then blow it up again" was in one of the commercials for this game, and it stuck true to that motto. For whatever reason, I also found the sound design vastly better in BC2 compared to the titles that followed, but that's a matter of personal taste. I hope in the next BF game true, total destruction makes a return and hopefully the same brilliant map design and gameplay will too. I miss being able to level entire buildings, blowing huge craters and ditches in the ground by planting C4 and mines together, and the weapons felt so satisfying to use!
I still really like this campaign because it still takes itself at lot less serious than most of its peers. Bad Company 1’s singleplayer was sandboxier but was also very slow paced due to the vast level sizes.
Ironic how the campaign mocks Call of Duty for things that it is also guilty off.
We need a Bad Company 3 ....FPS ......DO IT !!!!!!!!!!
I find it amusing that one of the assault rifles is the XM8 and not the m4 or m16. The XM8 was supposed to replace the m4 in the 90’s but never did. Dunno what alternate universe this is
This is one of the only FPS games I have beaten the single player and immediately started a second playthrough. I love the lighthearted dialog.
Maybe the cliff hanger was instead predictive programming 😂
bad company 2 was hilarious to me but also i didnt play the first one so that could help but i dont think bad company 2 lacked personality i love the game campaign and multiplayer
If you think BC2 was hilarious, you'll love BC1
they just don't make great games like this anymore
Glad you got your internet back
And I’m going to keep throwing the likes and views man you make quality content
FRONTLINES FUEL OF WAR???
Hate to be off the video's subject but what the hell's a comcast? (If thats the spelling)
American ISP that is notoriously awful. They have a monopoly in a lot of places so we don't have much choice.
This is still one of my favorite shooters ever, what a masterpiece. All in all.
Same. I want to play it again. They missed the mark after this campaign (except bf3 that one is still memorable for me). The characters made this game so good, plus the gameplay.
Great video man! Enjoyed your content as always, and hope you get back into RUclipss groove soon!
After aaaallllll this waiting for a third installment and from what I learned what's going on in the world I have a strong feeling they are not "allowed" to make a third game.
Remember DICE saying "We forgot what made Bad Company so good"?
Yeah... That's like when NASA said "We lost all data on how to go to the moon"...
In the end of Bad Company 2 the one army guy said "They're coming in from Alaska". I feel that came too close to the truth. And that's why, after 12 years, we still don't have Bad Company 3.
And I joked on the internet that they should make it before the original voice actors die of old age.
I missed your videos, good that you are back!
I used to just have century link so your not the only one who deals with shiternet
I agree, modern Far Cry games are better Battlefield singleplayers than the actual singleplayer modes of any Battlefield game.
I suppose Ghost Recon Willdlands or Breakpoint (with the new Immersive Mode) is also closer just in third person.
I don't mind the story if BC2. What bothers me is how Haggard turns into a dumbass. In Bad Company he was likeable. In 2 he talks like an asshole.
If they would mix the best from the first with the best from the second, it would be a very good game.
Open world of the first, tbe weapon feel and look and sound of the second...
The best single player battlefield game is most definitely battlefield 2 modern combat. Unfortunately it's a console exclusive. I hate fps on console, but I loved that game. The mechanic of switching between soliders on this huge battlefield while having objectives to complete is genius and I wish someone else copied that and put it on PC.
In my case BC2's single player was fun... but VERY GLITCHY, the biggest example I can give was any time you're forced to shoot someone that has a character at gunpoint (or situations similar to that) the models would just freak out and give me a fail if i shot or not.. although it was easily fixable by either re-loading the last checkpoint or level.
Dropped a like before I even watched the video, already know itll be a good, entertaining video:)
I was just wondering why haven't you posted a video from so long right before I was shown a notification telling me that you posted one .. and I clicked on it as soon as it popped out
Bad co one is still one of my favorite shooter campaigns, I wouldn't say bad co 2 is very cod-like but it definitely made inches twords there despite having major elements of the first game that I loved
It may not be as good as BC1 campaign but still miles better anything from the same era
The plot might be worse than the first "Bad Company". But it still has more soul and personality than any "Call of Duty".
The only fps game where you want the enemies to be somewhat bullet spongey is Call of Duty Zombies for more points. I'll have to try this game
Too bad about the internet problems, that shit sucks.
I do have a game suggestion that you might find interesting: Marathon.
Specifically the "Aleph One" version as that's the best way to play it nowadays. Also its free. alephone.lhowon.org/
If you don't know about Marathon it was Bungie's second FPS (Pathways into Darkness was kinda their first), and clear influence for what became Halo. There's a lot of cool stuff for how old of a game it is (1994). Weapon reloading, interesting lighting, friendly NPC's, dual weilding, MOUSELOOK. Not to mention the story is not half bad for the time. I don't know if I'd suggest trying to beat it without a walkthrough as the maps can be a bit maze-like. As well, since you are trying to catch up on subs/views it might be a bit too obscure to drive traffic. Either way, I think it might be fun to check it out. Also the community made a bunch fan campaigns in the same engine after Bungie open-sourced it and gave us the original Forge and Anvil. Also did I mention its free?
Hurray #ReturnofFOVDragon! And Fuck Comcast! right there with you buddy! Ps i meant to say on your Bad Company video, I never played it b4 and after your video I got a copy and have been playing it since! Thanks mate!
This reminds me of BatchTheBrit's video a year ago, he also analized SP and MP separately
Obligatory comment, woo! Love your content and your perspective on FPSes (even the obscure ones I haven't heard of before). In a world without TB, you're probably the only youtuber still commenting on the importance of FOV, so you're definitely doing the Lord's work there.
"No more Comcast in Serdaristan! My love life is over!"
Even if BFBC2's singleplayer story was weak and unconnected compared to 1's, and most of the personality of the characters relegated to idling in-game before someone breaks the ice, I'd still replay it unlike the games that followed it. Thanks to the Dawnbreaker crash making me replay BF4's singleplayer over and over, I haven't touched another BF campaign.
The lack of personalities killed the single player for me. What I find baffling, perhaps even misleading, is that if you go back and watch the commercials for BC2 they're all these hilarious bits. Like Sweetwater finding Solid Snake in a barrel, Haggard and Sweetwater completely botching a breach & clear, and the list goes on. I remember being super excited for another fun and ridiculous romp through the single player, instead I got a generic Call of Duty plot in Battlefield.
Glad you're back
My first battlefield. Great gameplay basic story. Maybe it would be better if i had played bad company 1 first(still haven't)
I think battlefield 3 is my favorite.
Battlefield 1 is hopefully going to be extremely enjoyable
I love business monopolies
BC2 was the start of Battlefield’s campaigns also being spunkgargleweewee’s, so this really sucked.
As bad as Comcast and CenturyLink are, I'm going to stick with CenturyLink, mostly because Comcast left my home with no service for over a month because of damage someone else caused.
Thinking about it did you ever tell Comcast and that you rely on the internet for your job? If you did and they still jerked you around like that you could actually sue them in small claims court for lost wages due. Actually did the same thing at one point with AT&T shortly after they started offering internet. got it installed and it worked for 1 day out of the 13 i had it. My job at the time was running a computer repair/upgrade service. I explained to them multiple times I couldnt do my job and they would send out a tech yada yada... After I called on the 13th day the store manager actually told me he didnt care if I was losing money it isnt his problem. Called an atorney and a few months later got a check and im blacklisted from AT&T because i sued them and won.
If I remember right my mate said this was one of the best games O.G
Jesus, and I thought CenturyLink had piss poor service in PDX...
I hope things pick up for you again soon!
anything to help out.
Just commenting to keep the algorithm up, keep it up my dude
The only bad and annoying thing about this game are the assault rifle animations,they're just a bit incomplete,at least the sound is loud and punchy
It sucks how RUclips works these days. Sorry that you have to endure this bullshit.
I don't know why everyone likes this campaign so much. Lots of gameplays about it but it's soooo boring.
Nah, its the Multiplayer, the campaign its very forgetable
I just finished 2 hour session of multiplayer in this game and i see this in my recommended lol.
I loved this game but was very let down after playing the first, very very linear in comparison.
Same here, that was my first thought when I first played BC2. Love BC1 and wish they'd port it to pc
I've been fortunate... I haven't had any issues with my internet in about 6 years.
Except 6 years ago Century Link tried charging me 4000$ for years of unpaid LAN bills for a phone I never had... It took a fuckton of time and days of effort to get them to, you know, not try to charge me 4k despite it being on their end assigning out household a LAN line that didn't exist, and waiting years until the bill was 1000's of dollars before it never being paid for was even brought up.
To their credit they did eventually drop it, and have in the years since sent 2 people to our house to ask how happy we are with out service. XD Still, all ISP's are gross.
Century link tried the same shit with me. They say I never returned one of their modems and owe them for service I never had.
Poor jarek this was years ago but still sucks you litteraly cant work because of the "Wi-Fi company" like wtf, you alrdy know your gonna get jerked around there but still it's just something crazy to think of. Maby next house you move to, call the company ahead of time (3-6wks) and maby make first payment and an installation date. Have a good one man!
Bro they knew 30 days ahead of time. They're just shit.
Lol
Thousands upon thousands?? Nobody has that many hours. A couple Hundred, maybe. I've spent 250 hours in siege a d I'm quite good at the game for example. It doesnt take thousands of hours.
Yes, yes it does take that many hours to be a top player at a game. I have roughly 5000 hours in R6 vegas, 4565 in Fear combat, 1658 in rivals of aether. Being a top player requires the same thing as being good at any thing else, experience and dedication. 250 is almost no time at all for a video game and I can guarantee you you are not as good as you think you are. Definitely not qualified to give a full run down of the meta of each character, how to play them, and how to counter them. I'm not talking basic theory crafting. I'm talking real experience against great players.
I heard so much bad things over the years related to the monopoly of ISPs in USA. I kind of feel privileged here in Canada to have two big ISP networks (and more depending your location) that are forced to sell their bandwidth to third party ISPs.
Too bad your FCC which is controlled more or less by the industry it is supposed to supervise.
Im the same way, i feel sorry about people's choices on ISPs in America since im English and we have a huge amount of options (the big four being BT/sky/talktalk/plusnet!
Met some real life people from my clan playin bad company 2..good times
I was so fucking dissapointed for not getting to fly a helicopter
Everything was better in the past... I really don't understand this but almost everything in the past was much better than today... old and classic songs, movies, TV shows, video games, and so on... things don't have the same taste these days... idk man...
Easy answer, you're getting old
I hope Jerek and recover his lost income. He's honestly one of my more liked RUclipsrs.
sorry you got fucked over by comcast, that's really a big mood
for what it's worth, i actually wouldn't mind videos on roa, i haven't played it much it a while but it's a great game in its own right
I actually still make RoA videos but they get posted over to the official Rivals of Aether channel these days. I still add those videos to my playlist. ruclips.net/p/PL15Dir0HjArLGJ3nMmTr7QjRtRJlVxc1J
This game is the best "Battlefield" game ever. The online modes are so perfectly balanced compared to the main series!
Was the perfectly balanced a joke
no the first game
The first one is great, the second one meh, another "america good" game.
When are you going to play a furry trash shooter?
When they make a new turok
Here for the support
This game still gives games in 2020 a run for their money
I loved the multiplayer and the single.
great review. aaaand fuck Comcast:)
Hey, sorry your last 2 weeks sucked so much ;_; Will share this vid to all my surroundings.
It's not a monopoly! Those are illegal and IMPOSSIBLE in a free-market economy, it's a price-fixing *oligopoly*. That's why everything is going GREAT
Ahh, the Comcast/Clink dilemma. You suffer it too. Damn you, large companies, and your hold on the entire west coast.
Before I watch, I really hope you address the intentional jabs and dialogue against Modern Warfare 2
I hated being stuck with one weapon slot in Bad Company 1. I knew I never found a Submachine Gun in this game outside the first mission but just thought it was weird luck that I always got an Assault Rifle when looking for an automatic weapon instead. (My preferred two gun loadout in shooters is a an Assault Rifle or Submachine Gun and a Shotgun)
Yo bad conpany 1 still has multiplayet
Lets get you back in the game man
wow Comcast breaks everything
Bad company 2's multiplayer was the first time in my life i ever actually grinded a game. Before that it was all Lego games and flash games, BC2 was my first actual shooter i enjoyed playing. And i'll never forget it. I loved it, and I feel empty now that i dont have my xbox 360 to play it on :(
One of the last good BF games.
Glad to see your internet got fixed :)
My first Battlefield game, next is 1
