I've put my finger on why I prefer this game. The vehicular combat and large maps ensures the game doesn't turn into a camp-fest, a snipe-fest and a noob tube-fest. It puts a little more onus on team play. Or maybe that's just how the online community plays it.
Yup, there are exactly why I'm looking forward to more Battlefield. Also, bullet holes and fully destructible buildings. I'm hoping to hit level 70 in MW2 before BC2 comes out, because I don't think I'll go back to it.
*Shifty eyes*
Hmmm, if this is going to be the regular Thursday thing with all the people from BF2 and a smaller extent 2142, then I will get it for the PC. Kinda waiting to see what the scores look like before it comes out.
It's been too long.
It's been too long.
I almost miss Karkand...almost.

I miss Karkand. No helicopters means no fiery flights of death on SwampAir.
I don't miss the jets of Doom nor the foreboding feeling of artillery headed your way as you capture a flag.
I thought there were going to be choppers in BC. Am I wrong?
There was one in the trailers, at least.
Edit:
There will be new vehicles in Bad Company 2, such as the UH-60 Black Hawk, a quad bike, a two-man patrol boat, an AA-gun mounted on a light tank and a UAV helicopter controlled via laptop.[7] Other vehicles will include the AH-64 Apache, the M1A2 Abrams and T-90 tanks, and the Mi-24 Hind.

This makes me happy.
Oh wow. Nice. That's the thing about BF:BC when I first played it. I came for what I thought was a COD knock-off. I stayed for the destructible environments and the vehicular combat.
Chopper whore.

It's good to know that some things never change.
Chopper whore.
Yes. Yes I am.
Well, this popped up on Twitter about BC2.
Battlefield going live for preorder soon on STEAM. It's an awesome site where you can buy tons of games! http://store.steampowered.com/
Really? "Steam," hmm? Never heard of it.
Tons of games? Hah! Next you'll be saying it has a built-in community!

Interesting....I will be waiting though.

Any p*ssy can land his jet on the Hudson. It takes balls to wipe out an entire squad trying to make a "hot lz" landing.

Fixed, for accuracy.
Single player trailer, and looking pretty good.

I'm actually looking forward to that. BC1's story had its share of charm, even if it wasn't running away with anything and the player character is dull as a brick. But I'm looking forward to seeing Apone, Cowboy, and Jayne again (those were their names, right?). If BC2 can be at least as funny, I'll be content. If it can be funnier (not a hard thing to ask) all the better.
It also looks to out-MW2 MW2—except BC2 should remember that the tongue goes in the cheek.

Jebus, that looks fantastic. While I do enjoy the more serious tone the trailer seems to convey, I just hope they haven't forgotten the humor from the first BC.
http://www.gametrailers.com/episode/... - more gameplay from the SP.
Wow. I like how it looks. I'm even more excited now. If they do it right, I think it's possible to shift a little bit in terms of tone. That often happens in movies or in series. You get introduced to the characters and the director/writer use a period of time of lightness to get to know each other. Once you're bought into the characters you can then ease them into more serious territory as long as you don't go overboard.
I just hope it doesn't get too much like MW2. I don't want the MW2 crowd coming to play this. I want them to keep cheesing each over in that cluster of a game.
Good lord. I may just have to break out the Cyborg Joystick for this one.

It looks like it'll be pretty different from MW2.
Different enough that the MW2 crowd will come over for a change of pace.
Steam store page is up, Limited Edition with beta access.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Limited Edition is now available for pre-purchase. Get early access to the beta and receive six in-game multiplayer items when you pre-purchase now!
Pre-ordered on Steam. I've been jonesin' for some modern combat since "The Letdown of '09."
Soo... I don't want to get all reactionary, but how about those limited edition incentives. I guess I'm trying to articulate this in a way that doesn't come out as "OMG WTF EA", so I'll try to ask, in a calm and adult manner, when and how these MP items will be available for the unwashed masses. I don't like to be an Angry Internet Man, and I'll be the first to admit we may not have the full story here, but here's the situation, as I see it, right now: better vehicle armour and weapons? For preorderers?
Limited EditionImproved Vehicle Armor: An up-armor package is mounted on all vehicle types, decreasing the effect of both explosive and penetrating warheads, significantly improving vehicle survivability.
Supreme Vehicle Firepower: Additional weapon packages are mounted for the driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expanding the range of targets the vehicle can successfully engage and destroy.
Vehicle Motion Sensor: Use this electronics warfare package to locate enemy units in direct proximity to the vehicle.
Tracer Dart Pistol: This magnetic dart attaches to any vehicle surface, allowing squad members to track, lock on, and fire rockets onto moving targets even beyond line of sight.
M1A1 Sub-machine Gun: Reliable but heavy this classic weapon is a powerful force in the hands of any Battlefield veteran.
M1911 Pistol: Highly customized M1911 are favoured for its dependability and the power of its large .45 caliber round.

:?
Those are all unlocks in the game, you just start with them unlocked. Also the "limited edition" appears to be the only edition you can buy.
Have you taken a look at the limited edition trailer?

Well, at least it is about as balanced as I've come to expect from a Battlefield game.
By the way, K.M. Troedsson (Executive Producer at DICE), had this up on Twitter:
Lot's of Q's regarding the possibility of 4 pack BFBC2 bundle on Steam. We're working on this, hope we can realize this options asap.
