    Hey all,

    I was looking at both of these and can't make up my mind which to get. Both look really good, but seem really similar and there isn't enough room in my collection (or my time :)) for two pretty identical games so I wanted to see if anyone had any input.

    Bad Company seems to be a bit of a laugh, and the destructable environment is a nice touch and makes it really hectic.

    Frontlines just got an update that adds 50 player (lag free) support for all maps, and helps prevent spawn camping.

    What are your experiences with either game? What are your preferences, etc.

    Cheers.

    I'm thinking of picking up Bad Company – just cos it sounds like it will be different enough from anything I've played before (never played any of the battlefield series).

    In frontlines, does have 50 player matches bring anything more to the gameplay? Never played it, but I can see it being a drag getting popped every 10 secs after a respawn (like the container map on CoD4).

    Love CoD4, is there any plans to bring out more maps?

    Id go for Battlefield, especially of you are planning on playing it online, Frontlines is out a few months now and i doubt it has a big user base online. Battlefield will though for at least a few months I predict. Probably down to ranking system they will have in it and also the fact that its damn fun :D

    both are great games and are really fun, i picked bad company. you can pick frontlines up pretty cheap preowned now so have a look for it there. thats what i did, got special edition - Tshirt/poster/soundtrack/artwork book - all for 30 euro! pretty good

    EDIT: frontlines still has a pretty busy online community too

    Frontlines:FOW is a very under-rated game, the thing I like best about is all the extra tech i.e. drones, EMP, turrets, fuel-air bombs, anti-air, etc. compared to Battlefield. The Frontlines mode really concentrates firefights too. Plus it has 50-player servers, unique for the 360.

    However, it looks like Battlefield:BC will latch on to the bigger user base as it is the newer game and has the EA marketing machine behind it.

    Can't wait for Frontlines 2 though ;)!
