Bad Company 2
Running for cover with tank shells flying above and exploding near by I find my self hiding behind a house wall that will not last long. Yeah I got Bad Company 2 for PC and I’m enjoying it so far. I have played beta with only one map and one game play type. Now that I have had a taste for a little of every map and game type I can say it competes close to Modern Warfare 2 for me. With that said I want to make note I have been a Call of Duty player from day one which I might add was on the PC, not console. I don’t wan’t to get into a console/PC war right now but before any one thinks I am just a CoD hater, i’m not.
Bad Company does have some flaws and I think over time they can or will be fixed. Some optimization for CPU and graphics need to take place. Also on a personal note they still have not added toggle crouch which bugs the shit out of me. Every game at least makes it an option to use and because I am used to it I fear it prevents my skill… just a little.
The online server browser sucks. It always has for Battle Field games and I don’t understand why. Most of the time it just does not find anything or it just says failed to connect. Also I get this awesome random “You have been kicked from the game” in the middle of a game. Also there is my favorite “connection to the game server has been lost. Please check your network and try again.” When i’m able to get into a game it’s fun so long as there is no lag.
[Update March 4, 2010 - EA's Problems]
I gave EA a few days to fix the networking problems. Unfortunately they still have some problems but they say they are working on it. I was able to play for a good while on one server. When I was able to play I must say was amazing! I kicked ass (whats new) and unlocked some new weapons and gear.
I played single player a good while as well. Its meh… It kept me entertain while waiting for online play to work. Here is some video!


So what about their latest update? Has that helped out any?
Yes they have helped some as for the graphics/fps. The connection problems with servers have been fixed a lot as well, however it seems there are some bad days that you still can’t connect no matter what you do.
