Partly bad aim since it was the first fps I tried after moving to pc, but also because everything progressed way too fast. My preferred playstyle relies on the slower pacing from the old days, with each point barely being taken. I like to sneak into a flank with two squadmates and hold a position that allows the team to progress. Can't do that when the enemy is getting steamrolled faster than you can flank, or you're getting spawn raped.
Yeah the bad part about playing an old game like bc2 is that there isn't a big pool of players to choose from. The ones that are left are either super pro or super bad. Most of the games you're either getting raped or you're lucky enough to get the stacked team that's doing the raping. This game also tends to be a little bit faster paced on PC as well.
The Garand is neat but the actual best thing to do is shotgun + slugs. You can literally snipe a dude from across the map with those. It's funny when they cry hax.
