I have no idea on BC2 vs BF2, but it does feel like the former to me. In terms of pace, on Op. Metro, the pace at the first base was pretty slow, but there were bursts of action, especially when attacking bases. The later three bases were action-packed, instantly spawning into combat and keeping you on your toes (or analog sticks) all the time. The weapons are especially great - they have really unpredicable recall, but that's a nice touch, as it adds a challenge to the game. But they hugely useful when you get used to the recoil, and once you start unlocking stuff they really come alive...
