Battlefield: Bad Company 2

[Ralfst3r]

Darn, I was hoping it would be a standalone game. Oh well, I'm sure there'll be a Bad Company 2 sale between now and December.

Sale is now on Steam.

I might get this if they fix BC2 before that time, and if it isn't rediculously expensive.

 

[PNV]

Hmm...it's still a little steep though.

Anyone try the co-op yet? Just d'loading now

 

[Yoshiro]

Not til they add it to pc (which might be never)

If their patch frequency is an indication, I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[Ender]

So when is this update suppose to come out? I though it was today...

 

[Rak]

Delayed again to Monday.

What did you think of Onslaught? A few friends and I managed to finish them all on Hardcore last night. While it was fun, I really don't see too much replayability in it now.


Here's an example HC playthrough on Nelson Bay:

Wow, they actually managed to release the patch.

 

[D3terioNation]

I tried it on a random server initially and the ai was unkillable (whole mg3 clip and no death..). I gathered that must have been on HC mode but maybe it was a glitch as they seem to go down quite easy in the vids

Im yet to give it a good go but wish I hadnt bothered really.

For PC? >_>

 

[ERK]

Yeah, the PC should have all the VIP maps now.

Still no new maps.

 

[SiC-Disaster]

It's tiring to see them add new modes to old maps all the time.
They probably were all finished at release anyway, held back to give us something new every now and then to keep people quiet about lack of support.
If all modes are on all maps now (are they?), i doubt they'll introduce a completely new one. And if they do, ofcourse it will be played so much that you are getting sick of it already after day 2.

Good read about why they sucked at the latest patch:

[=GG= Mr Moe]

So are they saying this is an unforeseen design flaw in the way they decided to patch the game from early on in its development, a problem because it was based on a engine designed for consoles, or some bad food that was "cooked" for the design team?

 

[ERK]

They've been hinting awhile now about a BC1 map pack for BC2. But even then, those aren't "new" maps either...

 

[Murphy]

Being the sarcastic prick I am I was JUST about to post that when they run out of maps they can make playable in other modes they'll just bust out the BC1 remake maps.
And as if on cue, you come along and post they've been hinting about it.

I realize it's sad, but I can't help but chuckle.

 

[ERK]

On the plus side though, BC1 maps were far better than the ones in BC2.
