    For all of you bitching about BC 2 the solution is simple, don't buy it. It'll be nicer for those of us that do to not put up with you complaining about the game. As for those of you who say its a console port, just stfu, you don't know what you are talking about. Dice has two teams working on BC 2, the console version was developed for the console by console players, the PC version was developed for the PC by PC players.

    Bad Company 2 the future of pc gaming is here and its called maximising profit ( remember DICE and EA are a business they only make games for money ) and weather we like it or not there are fewer players on pc than console, 1.5 million more console beta players than pc beta players ( who you going to make a game for ? )

    Bad Company One was a console only game DICE should have kept the Bad Company franchise to console only instead of pretending to care about its devoted pc users.

    Do not misunderstand me this will be a good game I have enjoyed the beta even with all the moronic game changes to suit the people with a 60 second concentration span. ( personally I have not experienced any performance issues with this game I play everything on max settings as I am a tech freak and update my pc with blind naivety ) I have come to the conclusion that this game has been miss labelled with the Battle Field name as the maps though very well made graphically are the most constrictive DICE have ever made its no longer a field more of a box .( Battle Box Bad Company 2 By DICE )

    HERES A GOOD QUESTION name a pc title that made you LOVE it and why ?

    Here is mine

    BF 2142 for sheer scale, development and support a game that offers true tactical, team based game play I love it ( if this game was overhauled with a new dx 11 graphics engine I would still play it for years to come its the only thing that lets it down , I love eye candy.

    STALKER for scaring me to death ! I love it

    Will you love bad company 2 ? how dose it make you feel about dice ? in my book DICE meant the best of the best it could only get better, as better graphics engines were created there games would become legend they already have the winning formula why not use it instead of feeding us this cod looky like . Dam I forgot its about money and market share not the fans of there product its come down to monkey see monkey do

    DICE please see the console and the pc as two platforms divide your developers to ones that imitate whats in the console market these are your money makers and ones that want to break ground in pc gaming the future !

    The Future of Dice looks bright

    Develop BF3 AS IF ITS YOUR CHILD when he makes his public appearance be proud that hes the best he can be !

    Its up to you

    IW doesn't rly care about ppl not playing their game, the only important thing was that they buy the game, then after that they dont give a crap..
  • Deathagnel
    I got BC2 Beta first day and it was unplayable but tht same night EA patched it and from the 2nd day on its ran perfect, If EA can patch a beta that quick then already IW are shitting there pants from ppl dropping they shite game
  • noskillz
    You dont need a quad core or a high end dual core to play this at all... ive got a 2ghz 3800+ dual core with an ati 4670 and can play smoothly with everything on high.. ever heard of forcing DX9?
    The game is indeed better than MW2 and you seem to forget this is ONLY a beta. You can send them faults/bugs/suggestions on what to change.. i only hope they dont ignore us like InfinityWankers have.
  • LittleEvil
    Might not be a "quick" port but its still a port. No strafe run...no prone....

    Still beats MW2 hands down!
  • robber9000
    No prone is fine, it's not BF2. Try strafe running in real life, tell me if that works. No BF title as far as I can recall had strafe run...
  • LittleEvil
    Dude don't go compare this game to real life....i can tell you a million things that are not the same as in real life. Strafe run is a MUST on pc!

    No BF title had strafe run? When did you start counting? Battlefield Bad Company? They ALL had strafe run....omfg
  • lolthissiterules
    HAHAHAA WHAT A FUNNEH SITE I NEVER JUMPED THE HYPE TRAIN ON MODERNCAMPFARE2 BC2 WILL OWN. NUFF SAID.
  • uprize
    have you played the BC2 beta? Its not too bad, but I honestly don't think it will take many COD fans. It has a different style of gameplay and to be honest, I got bored of it when I hit rank 2...
  • Anonymous
    the pc beta is starting to feel like a quick port, i've seen things like PC_VEHICLE at the end game summary.

    it was almost unplayable the day it was released too. they basically quickport'd the beta to the pc without playtesting for even 3 minutes to make sure the game runs fine.
  • Lands
    Oh come on. Every PC port is not just a console port. BC2 IS a cheap console port. Nothing has been changed/tweaked for PC in mind.
  • Matthew
    Lands you are an idiot. The PC game was developed for the PC.
  • Paul
    I thought BFBC2 reeks of a console port. You can tell by materials and textures. Also no hardware sound so its ported from console sounds.
    Also how can someones gun 20 feet away be louder than your own gun??
  • Brendan
    I put some time in this past week with the demo of BC2 on 360, and I have to say, the game is head and shoulders above MW2. This is purely from a gameplay standpoint, though.
  • Azix
    Its not a quick port but the performance is ghastly. Anything lower than a quad core and you will have a hard tme going over 30fps. Higher clocked dual cores help a bit but its a hog. Beta though so hoping for them.
  • I'm loving the beta myself. :)
  • robber9000
    After playing BF:BC2, the game is great, but it IS a beta, so it needs work. The question is, can they do it all in a month?
