The graphics are no better (if not worst than in COD4), and COD4 runs really smooth.

Ive a 8800gts and a core2duo, 4gb ram, on the lowest settings, and the frame rate is poor to say the least, from 19fps to 35fps.

It looks and feels like a console port, very few pc options for settings, not even a xfi eax setting for creative users!

You can’t bind the side mouse buttons to do anything!

You have to download a 300mb patch before you can play the game! (plus no standalone patch even!)

It plays more like ghost recon rather than battlefield, although GRAW played alot better than this.

Such a waste of a game, and where are the jets !

Poor server options, it was like, o yea we making a pc port we better put in a few server options for PC users.

The cut scenes – what the hell are they about, a waste of 10seconds of your life!

Anyone wanna buy my copy?

For those of you still wondering about FOV: How to adjust your FOV

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is available now in North America and will be available in Europe on March 4, 2010 for the Xbox 360  videogame and entertainment system, PlayStation 3 computer entertainment system and PC. Two all-new multiplayer maps for the game will also be unlocked today in North America at no extra charge* with two more coming later in March. Available in the box, these map packs are unlocked by simply inputting a VIP code**.

* Included with purchase of new game. Internet connection required.
** VIP codes included in the shrink-wrapped box. Those players that do not have a code can purchase one via the in-game store for $15. PC players will get the content as a game update. Internet connection required.

What struck me as most impressive with Bad Company 2 is how flexible the multiplayer game is. The class system allows you to choose what your approach to battle will be. It’s the maps and modes included in this package that allow you to choose exactly what kind of game you want to play. There is a huge difference between the giant and extended team Rush games – an attack and defend mode which plays out across expansive maps and features vehicles heavily — and the tighter Squad Deathmatch games which can feel just like your standard frantic and close-quarters shooter. If you care for something in between, you can just hop into a Conquest game to try your hand at the classic Battlefield fight over specific areas controlled by raising and lowering flags. Regardless of your mood, it feels like Bad Company 2 has something for you.

And if the game itself isn’t enough reason to keep coming back, perhaps you’ll find yourself hooked on the class upgrade system. New weapons and gadgets can be unlocked, as well as little perks to give you an edge in the fight. Those familiar with Call of Duty (And at this point who isn’t?) will be right at home with the system that rewards players for completing small challenges as well as winning games or simply playing well and getting a lot of kills.
