BC2 First Impressions?

So after playing it for the first time yesterday, I like. Jumped into a few Conquest multiplayer games and did decent. I like the maps that I've seen (snow and water/broken bridge map). I was surprised that when I went online, there weren't many games that were full. One game I was the only one vs. 3 other ppl. Enemies seem to go down faster than in Demo.
Also started the campaign. I like the story so far. Feels authentic. Sounds authentic.

Without spoiling too much, does it kind of pick up where the last left off? Or is it completely different?

You're still the same rag tag cussing funny bunch, but it's all new. I'm real early in the campaign, but this game is about linking the past (WWII) to today.
Super Japanese Black Weapon? You start off in WWII on a secret ops mission flashback.

Online: I haven't been doing too good, but I really don't want to focus on my stats in this game. The maps are pretty fun, yet sometimes I just get bored of going to the same objectives because of the fact that my team isn't doing anything. I think they should of had at least one more objective game mode then Rush or Conquest.
Single Player: I don't know about you guys, but that was probably the worst intro mission I've ever played in a game. I don't want to say that it wasn't needed because I haven't finished the story yet, but I thought it was pointless and unrealistic.
I don't believe that Jap soldiers wouldn't hear you start your boat engine back up RIGHT after you go under the bridge. Also I love how Sqaud A died in 2 seconds from the guy on the turret, but yet we don't even get hit.
Also, I found this happening several times where all I hear are my squad mates in single player making these corny ass jokes and saying how they are killing all these people, when yet I run back to them and they are just behind cover in a circle talking when I'm the one shooting everyone, and the best part is, is that they aren't even firing their guns. Then once everyones dead they run up saying how they did a good job at killing all them.

Is it me or does Haggard not sound much like Haggard anymore... His accent seems different.
I just got up to Heart of Darkness and had to pack in which is peeing me off... bloody migraine again! Game arrives and I only get to play a couple of maps... typical.
Also, anyone else notice that the VIP map is already available... didn't have to download it... I R confused! OTDC instead of DLC?

Wait, so, this isn't a WWII game is it? I looked at the weapons on the demo and stuff and it didn't look like it. I hope it's not.

Played some MP, loved it. Thompson kicks arse, I was mowing loads of people down with it, got killed once and saw one person pick it up to see what it was and use it, must of been annoyed that it only had about ten rounds left.
My last game, me and another guy snuck into the attackers base, I left with a light tank, he left with a blackhawk. All they had left was a quad.
And no lag, it was great, far better then the demo, also mean it's much much much much better then MW2.

I thought I was going to have to wait until next week to get it. Checked my mail, and it's here.
Playing through the single player at the moment. It's alright. I don't like the fact it takes four to five shots to kill the enemy, and sometimes headshots (mainly on snipers, w/sniper rifles) don't register.
Haven't tried multiplayer yet.

This is strange... I'm usually the first one to scream "Coughbullcrapcough" at a games problems but headshots for me have been pretty consistant. In fact I have found squeezing a single round out of a full auto weapon gave me a perfect headshot kill most of the time... You have to wait a little while though because the BC2 actors are the WORST... they take forever to fall over dead, instead they ham it up before falling to the floor. One round through the face will drop anyone it seems... just takes a while for the buggers to finish auditioning for the "death scene of the year" award.

Yeah, I don't know what it is. Maybe my controller? Not sure, because I played a little bit longer and it happened a few more times - what was happening was I was squeezing the trigger on the controller, and the gun wouldn't fire... so I had to squeeze it a second time to allow it to fire.
I hadn't fired a shot before, so I didn't need to let off the zoom to reload.
It did it a couple of times w/the XM8, tried to hit a sniper by firing single rounds, the hit box for the head is way small. If I wasn't hitting him in the head then I did a damn good job of shooting his ears off.
And to be honest, I think MW2's graphics (especially the cinematics) are better than BFBC2. Seems they kind of half-assed it this time, but that's just me.
The only other complaint I have about it is the ability to turn when sprinting... If I'm sprinting and want to make a turn, the dude just misses where I'm turning completely - sometimes he even drifts when sprinting in a straight line... and the smallest bumps, etc. stop him (worse than the damn car snag on MW/MW2).

WEll tbh, if the graphics were very good, the ever changing envrioment would most likely affect frame rate.
And sprinting, I like to see someone sprinting at full speed to turn tightly. Stopping from sprinting can be annoying in BF I will admit, but I found it more annoying in BC1, it's better in 2.
And not firing, there was a strange bug in BC where the gun sometimes didn't fire straight away, or the gun fired, but bullets were invisible.

That sprinting thing really got to me at first... then I just realised I only needed to sprint when under fire... trotting along was just as good and has the added bonus of not running into fire.
The graphics side of it I am freakin GLAD it isn't as detailed as MW2... why?... because as Guyyug said, GRAPHICAL LAG... I bet most of MW2's lag problems are due to rendering problems. I would rather a good, responsive game than a pretty game that lags like a bitch and has "NO WAY, I SHOT THE SHIT OUT OF HIM.... SO WHY DID I DIE" every five minutes.... or less.
This is where IW got it wrong... they went the eye-candy way... and eye-candy that is static too. If I want to look at pretty pictures I will go to the library. I prefer INTERACTING with the environment... I want a big explosion to flatten a building and not have banana leaves that can stop bullets like in MW2. Seriously, I bet that is why the top two IW bods got sacked... they supplied a SUB-STANDARD GAME and then asked for more money from the users on top of that insult... that is real frickin cheek, I can tell you.
No, MW2 is laggy because they put too much detail in and the 360 can't handle it... therefore we get that 2 second of built in lag it seem... the lag that hits even when everyone in the server is on solid 4 bars.
