* GameBreaker: The M60 in Bad Company 2. Even with its low rate of fire, its damage output at all ranges is still unrivaled by any other gun in the game, so much so that it and the 1911 got nerfed on the first major update.
** The Apache gunship, especially when the pilot flies around in a circle unbearably fast spitting out rockets without taking the time to ''aim the shot''.
* HarsherInHindsight: DICE's constant mockery of the ''VideoGame/ModernWarfare'' series ditching dedicated servers turned rather hypocritical after the launch of ''Bad Company 2'', when the servers they provided for the console release proved to be woefully inadequate to handle the load.
** DICE also mocked [=MW2=]'s lack of mod support and hyped it up a great deal. Turns out, DICE doesn't want mod support, either. It is explained in an [[http://kotaku.com/5485700/bad-company-2-devs-have-nothing-but-love-for-the-modding-community interview]] that this due to limitations of the Frostbite engine, which is still a better explanation than "We want you to play the game the way we made it".

* ScrappyMechanic: Oh boy, where to begin:
** Almost all weapons (with the exception of the grenades) don't work in point blank if you're receiving damage. Anti-tank missiles are rendered ineffective if the player who fired them is killed before the missiles hit anything.
** Players with higher levels (from LV. 40 to 50) can inflict more damage towards players with lower levels and they can sustain more damage from those players, [[LyingCreator despise EA stating otherwise.]]
** The tracer can lock on to any kind of vehicle, including the [[DeathFromAboove Apache gunship]]. However, the Apache can fire a massive stream of rockets that cover an area big enough that the one firing does not need to worry about aiming to get a kill so much as swerving unpredictably out of the line of enemy fire, meaning that its nearly impossible to hit the chopper with the tracer, let alone a rocket. The ScrappyMechanic comes in from the fact that even if you manage to successfully tag the Apache, it will pop flares that nullify the effect of the tracer ''faster than you can lock on to it in the first place''. The only way to destroy it would be to fire at it by aiming yourself, which is about as easy as hitting a squirrel with a slinghot. It is completely possible to single-handedly win the game just by flying around the enemies' spawn, firing rockets without reckon.

* ScrappyMechanic: Oh boy, where to begin?
** Almost all weapons (with the exception of grenades) usually wont work at point blank range if you're taking damage when you use them. Anti-tank missiles dont work ''at all'' if the player who fired them is killed before the missiles hit anything.
** Players with higher levels (from LV. 40 to 50) apparently run on JRPG rules, dealing extra damage to lower level players and taking less in return, [[LyingCreator despite EA stating they weren't going to do this.]]
** The tracer can lock on to any kind of vehicle, including the [[DeathFromAbove Apache]]. However, the Apache can fire a massive stream of rockets that will push back into hiding any recon class it doesnt kill outright. The ScrappyMechanic comes in from the fact that even if you manage to successfully tag the Apache, it can drop countermeasure flares that nullify the effect of the tracer ''before anyone can even lock on''. The only way to destroy it from the ground would be to fire at it yourself, which is about as easy as hitting a jet with a slingshot. For a while it was completely possible to win the match on your own by flying around the enemies' spawn spamming rockets.
