As far as BBC2 goes I tried the demo and played one MP game.
I was turned off by the fact that every time I spawned I was at the bottom of the hill and had to spend a lot of time running back to get in the fight. Because it was my first time playing I spent a lot of time running back to the fight which got annoying fast.
The other thing I didn't like was the red diamond over the enemy and how it shows even behind objects. I want to search and be surprised when I walk around the corner instead of knowing the enemy is there.
Again, that was my initial impression and it was enough to turn me away. I've heard lots of praise for BBC2 and the trailer for the new one looks incredible. So what am I missing and why should I give BBC2 a second chance? BTW, I'm on xbox 360.

BF2 is a bit different than most shooters. You have to play a little slower so you aren't constantly re-spawning. Also, if you are in a squad, you can respawn where your squadmates are, so being in a squad is key. It adds some strategy as well, if you are the last guy left alive in your squad, don't engage in a firefight until one or two guys spawn around you, otherwise you will all have to spawn at the beginning.
The red diamond is "spotting" and it's part of the game. If someone on your team sees an enemy but can't shoot them, they can hit the "back" button and it will show their location for other team mates. It's a great mechanic, most people don't use it but it's great for calling out snipers and if your squad uses it you have a huge advantage. For example, a sniper on your team can call out the location of pretty much everyone on the other team.
But I hear what you are saying, if you are use to playing COD, BFBC2 takes a while to get use to. But if you give it a chance, it's a deeper experience than COD and you'll enjoy it.
