Remember when dice doesn't know why gamers loved battlefield bad company 2?
Well, today I just want to make everything clear. This is not a BC vs BF debate.This thread highlight what best about BC2. BF6 should be what it is, including what make BC memorable.
------
Fact: Let me put this plain and simple, all those best time I ever had, was in BC2. I have good moment in BF3/4/1/V too, those are good games, but NONE of them, could EVER come close to those moments I ever had in BC2. For 6 months straight I stopped playing other games all together, I was so damn addicted and enjoyed playing the heck out of BC2.
Why is that?
Point 1. Outstanding maps design
Maps were totally different from each others, different visuals, different feels.
BC2 enforces 1 map could only play a certain few game modes, if that map doesn't fit Rush, you don't have Rush mode on that map. This allow no mediocre experiences ever, hence the excitement last really long.
Point 2. Rush mode on Rush maps
This is the single biggest reason makes BC2 the best. I have a lot great conquest games in BF3/4/1, those were great moments. But playing Rush in BC2, hand down 20/10 experience. Some BF3 Rush was really good too.
Grand Operation or Breakthrough or Rush, all it need is maps with good design philosophy:
Carefully crafted with different sectors. Every time the attacker capture 1 sector, it so damn satisfied! make players so excited to advance to the next.
Arming and disarming Mcoms create a lot of tense/epic moments, have the Mcoms well placed would create fair and fun engagements for both sides.

Point 3. KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)
in BC2, everything was so few (game mode, weapon, attachment, vehicle), but because Point 1 & 2 were so good, it doesn't matter. More is good, but each of them have to be meaningful, not overlap.
Care for UX, Item selection/specialization is simple and fast.Everyone could change stuff in a few clicks without having going through 3 - 4 screens.
The level progression was simple, but long enough.
Point 4. Other things
Little thing matters, together they make great game
Campaign is fun and memorable, you can watch random conversation here (they talk to each other when out of combat, great stuff!)
Recon class have tools to be aggressive
Infantry camo auto change to match with the map setting
Tank is formidable
There were visual and audio cues for everything (you got alert to get out of a collapsing building)
Each class has its own voice cover, you can tell them apart just by hearing their talking
Private servers
- you can add more here [...]
Once again, if BF6 could levitate what best of BC series, it could be the best BF of all time.
