    Re: Fourtunate Son

    I thought the campaign was entertaining. The movement was cool and all that. I just hated the camperific maps and gametypes, along with the magic bullet laggy hitboxes and cheaters.

      If you look at the fact sheet included in the BC2-v fan kit it says "Rocking 60's Soundtrack. Listen to 8 radio channels in-game, featuring 49 time typical tracks, including "Ride of the Valkyries" and "Fortunate Son" by CCR. "

        I did notice each time you hit X it does seem to change stations much like GTA4 does but i have yet to hear ride of the Valkyries or any CCR or any songs i would classify as "rocking".

        I'm not sure how the royalty system for those songs works these days but obviously it didn't carry over from BFV and if it's a amount they had to pay upfront per possible in-game airplay they may have buried the songs so deep in the play list that unless a round has abnormally high ticket count you'd never have the game time to hear them.

          I just heard it was too "meh" to stand out among all the other shooters today. MoH That is.

            I used to love hiding in the bushes with an RPG-7 waiting for noobs to come charging through in their MUTTs with their radios blaring before blasting 'em. Good times.

              It was quite buggy, but it could have had a chance if not for an amazing series of stupid decisions:
              1) Very few maps for the popular game modes. Most popular mode could not reuse maps from the rest of the game.
              2) Free map pack contained maps only useable in new game modes.
              3) Map pack that you had to pay for almost from day 1.

              I realized the game was going nowhere when they tried to sell us content a few weeks after release. They should have been busy fixing the bugs, not selling content that should have been included on release.
