Battlefield Bad Company 2
This could make up for the disapointment of MW2...A real PC game.

Re: Battlefield Bad Company 2
If you read the Battlefield blog, they report being dedicated to PC players.
I would hardly call my post as passing judgement, it was just an intro to a video game clip.

I think the idea was your passing judgement on modern warfare 2 before it's release.
As for it being a real PC game, play ArmA 1 or 2. Bad company is still born from a console and will still have to be dumbed down to play on the 360 aswell. And Bad company is a good game, and the clip does look very good and i'll probably buy it, just there's better.

Bad Company 2 is still a console port and for all the fuss that's been kicked up over MW:2's lack of dedicated server support I find it incredible nobody has mentioned that if you want to run a dedicated server for Bad Company 2 you'll have to rent one from a third party, sounds like EA's thinking of their wallets before the PC gamers they're "dedicated" to serving to me.
If you want a proper hardcore PC FPS then Arma 2's the way to go, if not, well you'll just have to put up with console ports or wait for something else but let's not pretend Bad Company 2 isn't just as big a product of console gaming as MW:2 and will be "dumbed down" appropriately as a result.

Aren't most people who run dedicated servers renting from third parties anyway? You can't exactly run a 64 player server off your home connection...

Honestly dude I haven't run a server for anything in years and when I did I did it from home, I'd like to think with a 25mb connection I still could for some games but obviously I'm not as clued up on the subject as I could be. Regardless of that, can't you usually use whichever third party you like? The way it's worded on EA's website it sounds very much like there's some kind of exclusivity deal going on between them and a "trusted partner"....
Re: Battlefield Bad Company 2
well whatever, people say wait until features are confirmed, then they say wait until its released, then they say wait until you have played it yourself, then they laugh

+1. DICE are just as bad as IW. where is bf 1943 that was promised to be released the same time as the console versions?
Re: Battlefield Bad Company 2
this looks nice... might have to pick it up for 360 when it comes out... depends how much im playing MW2 by that point...
