I have both MW2 and BFBC2 and I can't say one's necessarily better than the other. They're very different games with very different dynamics. BFBC2 is still very definitely a battlefield game. It's definitely larger-scale, slower-paced and shooting there is harder than in MW2.

I really like the Rush mode for BFBC2. It's great and really does have a good sense of scale. Strangely, I find that conquest maps in the game really kind of don't. It feels to me like Battlefield games are getting smaller and smaller, for the sake of pure graphics quality.

Out of all the "modern battlefield" type games, my favourite by far is still the original Desert Combat mod that started it all. BF2 and Bad Company may have added cool new features, but honestly... I don't think they really ever managed to best or refine the original formula.

That said, BFBC2 is a fun time in multiplayer, although you do have to get past an initial period of frustration of playing on servers where players are obviously a lot better than you.
