I played the Battlefield BC2 demo, and that was enough for me to know that I hated the way the game feels. No offense to anyone, but it seems that the guys that aren't as good at MW2 are loving BC2.
I'd say Zeetes is pretty good at MW2 and he likes BC2 also. And, he certainly has given AgentZero a hard time in the times that he was on the opposite team.
And I guess it all depends on how you define "good". If by good you are talking K/D ratio you're mostly right. But, there is more to a multiplayer FPS than K/D ratio. I know that's all that really matters in MW2 and Halo is K/D ratio, but that's not so much the case in BC2 and some people, while they aren't very good at K/D ratio, are good at helping out a team in an objective based game by being the one that rushes a flag to expose the other team for the slayers, being the one that holds off a guy trying to defuse explosives until the slayers can get there even if he dies in the process, being the guy that gets killed running across the map to bring the slayers ammo, or the guy that heals the slayers to keep them slaying, but gets killed in the process. It's a different set of skills and a different style of play. There are also those that are good a driving tanks, Hummers, helicopters, Etc., but might not we as good as a lone sniper trying to pick off defenders. And different games reward those things differently. BC2 tends to reward the team aspects of play more than the individual slayer aspects. Although that is rewarded too.
What I think is that the guys who like to be slayers and like to snipe are less likely to like BC2 because it does not only reward those skills above all other skills.
Edit: And while I'm not very good at MW2, I happen to like the game a lot. I just find BC2 a nice change of pace. And, I'll probably feel that Reach is a nice change of pace from BC2 and MW2 when it comes out later this year. After playing the same game nearly every night since sometime in November, I think a lot of people just want to try something new. And, I think BC2 is not only new, but just as good of a game as MW2.
Edit 2: And, I just noticed that Authentic and SaintJustino also like BC2 also. I don't recall how good Authentic was at MW2, but I know he's pretty good at Halo and I know that Justino was good at MW2. As far as I can tell, the only people who were good at MW2 that don't like BC2 are you and Twenty.
