Where to now for competitive BC2 in SA?
With the league ending about 2 weeks ago, link to last leg, it seems that BC2 has come to a grinding halt. For how long? Who knows? We will find out early next year if Do Gaming will be hosting the title again.
From what I’ve seen in the community and from within our own clan, interest has dwindled sharply. With the way it is now, I dont think BC2 will survive another competition. I’d like to be proved wrong though.
The end of year period from rAge is traditionally a very quiet time for the battlefield community. What can be done until the next competition? Playing pickups might fulfill the need for competitive gaming. Will also introduce/expose you to other players and the methods they incorporate in clan games. An extension to these pickups is the option/opportunity to play competitive rush games. Which will be majorly different from any experience on a public rush server.
Alternatives to BC2:
Medal of Honour – October
Call of Duty: Black Ops – November
World of Warcraft: Cataclysm – December
