That seems to be the primary reason for the BC2 hate - the fact that it isn't PC exclusive. Ignore that and take the game on its own merits and you might come to a different conclusion. Also, BC2 is not run and gun friendly at all. Do that and you will die (a lot) and be useless to your team. Of course if you "run and gun" as a squad you will do well.

Exactly.
