They finally killed off BC2? So I can finally give up on the futile effort of reinstalling the game every year, in hopes that maybe I'll find a populated server this time around?

I miss that game so much. Rush was so much fun. The maps were designed perfectly for that game mode, unlike future BF titles where it's a tacked on feature. It was so good, that I found out the hard way that I actually don't like Battlefield games, after wasting money on BF3, 4, and Hardline, and hating all of them. I just want more Bad Company games.

Yeah it feels like after BC2, they just didn't even try any longer with the map design. It was the last good battlefield game.

It was dead last time I tried playing (because of the login thing). Unless someone made a community patch to bypass the login prompt, I guess.

You're pretty much in the same situation I'm in. BFBC2 was the last Battlefield game I liked, and it was because Rush was so much fucking fun in that. I hate how much the newer ones kind of mostly focus on Conquest, personally.

Conquest is not my idea of fun, either. It's a lot of running back and forth between the same objectives over and over again until someone wins. To me there's no thrill in that.

I like the concept of "push/bomb/capture the objective and move on to the next phase of the map" in any game that has it. Used to play a lot of Team Fortress 2 and Overwatch because of it. But now I've moved past those games as well. Overwatch has an issue where the meta evolves faster than I can keep up, and TF2 has the opposite problem we're the meta doesn't evolve at all because Valve doesn't update the game. So I've stopped playing shooters for now until something new comes out that satisfies my desire for this kind of gameplay.
