because it's now on the PC, where most gamers play  :smug

no, really I think it's because of a few reasons

-before Bad Company 1, the 360 Battlefield game was Modern Combat 2, which wasn't that great.
-Bad Company 1 had a lot of weird interface and control issues compared to Call of Duty 4 at release.  To run, you had to hold down the left thumb stick, there wasn't great feedback if you shot an enemy, the healing system was a bit odd (especially in single player).  I heard a lot of the oddities got patched, but the demo doesn't reflect those and it's hard to get people back once the damage is done. 
-Battlefield 1943 was cheap on XBLA/PSN ($15 I think) and successful.  Had a bunch of fixes that Bad Company 1 lacked.

I know the arcade game had a lot to do with the spike in BC's popularity but I kinda felt it was a step backwards.  I guess I was just so used to having all my gadgets from BC1 that Battlefield Arcade felt too limited.  Everytime I played it I kept wondering why I was bothering with this while a much better multiplayer game is sitting on my hard drive.  I'm not sure what they supposedly fixed in the arcade version but I didn't notice it.

Battlefield 1943 is so much better than Bad Company, and I enjoyed Bad Company as a bargain bin title. It streamlined everything into a far more enjoyable experience.

Bad Company was a good idea with a janky game behind it. It had a lot of flaws.

1943 While a much simpler game was cheap, reintroduced console people to battlefield on an accessible level and fixed some of the weaker issues in Bad Company 1.


Bad Company 2 seems to fix a lot of the issues of Bad Company 1.

It's not especially hard to figure out why this one will do better than the original. It's better than the first in most areas.

Bad Company 1 was bland, it was just a bunch of levels with stuff to shoot. Bad company 2 has a different feel to it, you feel part of something, the presentation is great.

I think BD2 holds best sound work in a game so far.

The sound design in the BC2 demo is the same quality as it was in the first BC, which is insanely good.  Playing Bad Company on a proper sound system is just balls out ridiculous.  Honestly it's better than most movies out there.

Best sound design, hands down.

So true. Going from different area to different area, hearing the sound changes to the gun fire, explosions, etc it really makes you feel like you are in the middle of some wild shit.

I'm already pretty far into the game i wager, and i can safely say, that this is the most fun i've had with a FPS since Halo 3. It really nails the dynamic feel of a battle, with the destruction, the size of the areas, the way you can do things in more than one way. It really sells that which Halo also does well, which is give you linear progress through the story, and from area to area, but each area can become its own little sandbox.

But here it's cranked up to eleven, i turn things to maximum, and sometimes there's so much shit going on you don't even know what to do, it's amazing! It's the dust, the particles flying over, the sound of war, it's like holy shit what am i supposed to do. AWESOME

The graphics keep seducing me, big big areas, and everything looks so good, and again i must stress how good the particle system is. And the models are great.

"Demoed" the PC version from the usual sources. Only played the first two missions just to get a sense of it as I'll be playing it on the 360. Seemed fun enough. Definitely an improvement over the campaign in the first from what I've played which I didn't care for at all. Other than that can't really say much until I play the 360 version later in the week.

Got Steam ready to go for tomorrow. Still may trade in some shit for the 360 version. Don't think I'll play the console DA anymore so I can get rid of that. Since GS is doing a 50% bonus on trade-ins right now I can get rid of that, a couple crappy 360 games I don't want anymore and use my Awakenings pre-order and get BC2 plus some MS points.

Nope.  Kinda poor that they released the poorly optimized PC beta as the only yardstick.

If you tried the beta, it is supposed to run quite a lot better now.

yeah, playing around with the settings might have helped.  I haven't tried the final game yet, but even the poor beta had settings that destroyed performance like HBAO/ambient occlusion.  Most games that have that setting have night and day performance differences when you turn it off.

also, the beta had a lot of settings restricted to medium, which was around where the 360/PS3 are at.  If the high settings in the final game cause trouble, dropping it down isn't a big deal since it still looks great.

I'm really just happy that the final game lets you change the FOV.

Yeah I went into the settings and the ini file and there are a number of options you have to increase the performance.

Time for a new video card for me anyway at some point in the future. I never jumped up to the ATI 5000 series.

Like I said game is pretty improved on the campaign level although my Gamefly says its in my queue for 360 so I probably won't play anymore of the PC version. The main thing is they reduced the omniscient AI from the first game. Flanking was pretty much useless in the first Bad Company because all the AI always knew where you were. In that sense its actually an easier game now but its also more playable because of this.

Cool story bro. I'm going right at midnight to pick it up to avoid the lines. I also traded in all my Nintendo DS games and got $240 for them (y'know, since I can just download them and play them with my flash card) so yea, you enjoy your $20 to spend on a game and I'll enjoy my $180. :D

Gotta love amazon, free overnight shipping and 20 bucks which i'm using on splinter cell.

I gotta give some love to EA though due to them fucking up my Mass Effect 2 DLC they are giving me the game free and I just looked and saw that its also out for delivery. They do make right when they fuck up bad, I've gotten BFBC2, Dante's Inferno, and soon I'll have the expansion for Dragon Age all for free.

I can't wait to fry some peoples skulls with the defib kit.

here's some info on BFBC2's Dr. Pepper items

http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/418596.page

You unlock a Special Activites Soldier (SAS) for every class.
The SAS gets new camouflage and a modified gun (for example the Engineer gets a unique UMP. No different in stats just looks different).

Q: What will the codes unlock?
A: In Battlefield: Bad Company 2 four kit upgrades allow you to become a unique Special Activities Soldier, with new camouflage and a modified weapon. Kit upgrades also contain new awards and an additional achievement.

Blame piracy and used sales. If publishers were confident that folks would buy new games regardless, I doubt they'd spend the extra man hours and funds they financing this marketing gimmick.

I believe post-Dragon Age, these codes don't expire for close to a year, and the likelihood of new product sitting on the shelf that long in lieu of Game of the Year editions is probably minimal. Also, the point is to promote buying new at launch until the new product runs out, now waiting to buy a used copy that hopefully has the DLC content inside (months, if not a year, later).

I don't think it's great, but I also understand that we - as gamers - created these market conditions by purchasing used games and rampant piracy.

used games help  to fund new game sales

slowing down sales of used games or devaluing trades precipitates the slowing down of new game sales

if i find out that the pc battlefield map codes are no longer eligible when i go to purchase a copy this summer (after i build my new pc), then ea can eat the peanuts out of my shit and i just won't buy it at all

You keep using this argument and it makes no sense. I don't care if they are at war with Gamestop. The person they are hurting is anybody who sells a used product in any shape or form including me as an individual consumer. Now that is their perfect right and I'm still buying BC 2 but I'm not going to drink piss and call it soda. I'll drink piss and call it piss.

I didn't say sell used games second hand to friends or whatever - which I don't think anyone is opposed to - it's the purchasing of used games at a retail store that has directly led to these market conditions. I don't fault individuals; I've certainly done it. I mean who hasn't?

But we created these market conditions. Don't like microtransactions and launch gimmicks? Buy new games.

Again, I don't think any of the publishers want to spend any more on marketing and promotional material than they have to. It's not for shits and giggles, or making a ton of revenue - it's about recouping lost revenue to sales models where they receive none (i.e. used games at retail).

And yet EA also punishes me for buying new from amazon instead of gamestop. Why qre they trying to funnel customers into gamestop?

I speculate this has to do with trying to appease their largest purchaser, but I agree - and it's a valid complaint.

On the other hand, both Amazon and Wal-Mart offered financial incentives to purchase from them.

I really would like to see a cost comparison chart of new games purchased without credit and those purchased with credit. Just to see if what EA and others are starting to do are necessary steps to ensure "new sales." As well it would be interesting to see how many people are actually purchasing the project ten dollar DLC.

I personally only trade games that I have no more interest in. As well I don't buy used at all, unless it's a hard game to find. All of the credit I get is going directly toward the purchase of new games. I can understand that the deterrent here is to stop used game's sales, but not everyone is as picky as my girlfriend is about packaging and they don't mind purchasing used.

I only see this as harming the customers, especially when these games are no longer available new. Add to that, that the content from the Limited Edition is actually on the disc and usable only once via the code. Your essentially being given a key for products on the disc. And i've always been against key's for things that are essentially accessible via your game's disc.

I am pretty sick of EA mainly not cause of the DLC but rather the fact that each EA game is linked to an EA account and thus the DLC from project ten is directly tied to one specific gamertag. Which means if you live with another person like I do and you both have your own gamertag, your pretty much screwed out of having the same content. I had to jump through hoops for Mass Effect 2 and Dragon Age Origins just to have the same content that my girlfriend got.

Apparently theres a glitch at TRU.

You buy BFBC (ps3/360) and you can get either one of these for basically free:

L4D2
Dantes Inferno
Army of Two Two
Mass Effect 2

Thanks for the heads up demi.
