    What I mean by this, is when Bad Company 2 comes out, will you stop playing Modern Warfare 2s kick ass multilayer in favor of Bad Company 2?

    I'm going to say no. However, it looks quite polished even in the beta, so who knows.

    The mulitplayer for both games are completely different.  It's just a matter of what you like more.

    What a stupid question. It all depends on the quality of BC2.

    For me, BC2 multiplayer looks half-baked; mind you I do play the beta, well did.

    I'm a pretty fickle gamer, so I'll probably leave Modern Warfare 2 behind soon, regardless of its great multiplayer.
     
    But I'm pretty sure it won't be for Bad Company 2.

    I just might. I did not play the original BFBC, but if the controls and pacing are anything like 1943 then yes. Something clicks with them for me and I like the very wide open maps.  I like MW2, but the customization in it all seems a bit too much at times.

    Bad Company 2 looks pretty sweet. I think by then, I'll be bored with MW2 and will want to try something different. I will definitely buy it. But then again i have about 50 games i have to complete first.

    I don't really care how "high quality" BC2 ends up being, or how polished. I've played Battlefield games, and I think they are terrible. Too much vehicle focus, resulting in people rushing to vehicles, fighting over them, and a few players inevitably getting left behind. The game is also too slow paced for me. I felt like I spent more time running around, capturing objectives, and doing other things then I did actually fighting, and shooting at other players.
     
    MW2 provides a tight, compact package where you can jump in, and instantly be in the thick of the battle, and go it alone if you so choose. My time is precious, so I want games where I can get some quick gratification, and then turn it off. Always seemed to me that Battlefield games required a lot of dedication. Getting a solid 4-5 man team together that you can play with all the time, every day, and get familiar with. I just don't have the desire to do that, and even if I did, I wouldn't have the time.

    I will have had half a year's worth of Modern Warfare 2. I'm sure I'll be ready for a change, considering how infrequently I play it now. Also, explosions, tanks, and shotgun slugs.

    No.  I will play them both equally, as they play completely different.

    I will probably do so as I play most FPS' on PC and BF:BC2 will have dedicated servers and not the p2p crap, so no host advantage for you Mr. Russian ISDN connection.

    I said no, I mean, I played bad company one and honestly I just felt like I was getting completely destroyed. Maybe bad company is just to hardcore for me or something but MW2 seems like it's a lot easier for me to get a favorable kill death ratio.

    I'm able to play both. 
    So no, I won't, I'll just switch between the two of them. 
    Now if I was a retarded monkey with no hands and I liked, instead of throwing it, to eat my own poop then yeah, I would probably also be dumb enough to give up one thing for another

    I said no.  I will pick BC2 up and play the multiplayer a lot, but I'm not going to stop playing MW2.  It's not like you can't play both.

    I hope the MW2 community wont die, that's all that concerns me XD. 
    I've grown too much in love with MW/MW2, you can say blinded. More like I will only play MW(esque) games. BF:BC2 seems just like a camp-fest thou, and, well I might give it a try, but things arent loking too bright for it as of now. 
     
    The arcade-ish feel of MW is just so captivating.

    I'll probably stop palying MW2 for a while and then as I get more used to BC2s go back to playing MW2 alongside Bad Company. Thats if Bad Company 2 is going to be good (it will).

    I'll probably have dropped MW2 to some degree by then, but I have little interest in BC2 so it definitely won't be for that.

    Yes, I can almost guarantee it.  While I love me some Call of Duty, I'm a Battlefield die-hard.  They could slap Battlefield onto any old crap (ala Battlefield Vietnam) and I'll still play it non-stop.

    No because I kind of like having solid cover and not having to worry about the wall next to me getting blown to hell by a tank. Plus the only game I have played so far where vehicle combat in multilayer is fun is in the Halo games.
