Battlefield Bad Company 2 IS out on PC, what are you talking about?
I've been playing the PC beta the past 2 days and I agree completely, the only problem is the occasional lag spike which should improve come the launch of the full game.
And yeah, BC 2 >> MW 2 on PC. And PC has 32 players so the battles are even more intense.

I love Battlefield as long as I'm playing with a squad of friends. But, I think that those obsessed with the run 'n gun twitch precision of MW2's controls will hate on it. I assume a lot of people will not realize the need to tap-fire the weapons to achieve accuracy, or, *gasp*, stop running when you are firing, and denounce it as "teh suck". Seriously, anyone having trouble killing shit, fire in 2-3 round bursts and the enemy will drop like flies. Conversely, even a few yards away, if you just hold down the trigger, you're probably not going to hit shit. Also, as I've noticed on the 360 demo, people do not seem to grasp the need to STOP TRYING TO SNIPE AND DEFUSE/PLANT THE DAMN BOMB, JACKASS!!!
...ahem, sorry. But, yeah, I'm loving the 360 demo :)

its divided into four sections, not three, but yeah i love the more realistic knife. Add Kuwanjahbee and we'll play. just make sure to remind me your from dtoid.
Heh I tried this today (on 360), sunk right in when I realised I can treat it like Battlefield 1943 but in the future (meant not learning anything, THAT I can dig). Sniping like an asshole is fun.
I'd say it is better than MW2 anyday. Except Thursdays, I could never quite get the hang of thursdays.

Nice avatar and name, but soon enough, you will be tired of that album and will regret that name. I know, sounds crazy, but it happens. Also, you will regret picking a pop-culture reference for a screen name.
Trust me.
Trust me.

But yeah, I'm slowly getting used to Battlefield, as this is my first real extended period with the series. I didn't like it at first BC, since the shooting felt horribly off compared to MW, but I'm slowly getting the hang of it in 2. The constant running is kind of a bother, and the teamwork (since I'm a solo player) was lacking in the strangers I met. Some of the vehicles need some balancing though, mainly the helicopters. A guy snagged that chopper and spammed it the entire match. I got a lucky RPG hit once but after that he just kept killing me. I tried flying the thing myself, but apparently inverted flight controls means uninverted, which I didn't realize right away.
But from what I played it's lightyears ahead of MAG, which bored the living shit out of me. I don't know why, but it just felt flat. BFBC doesn't suffer that problem.

@RB2010,
i've had some pretty weak screen names -- but as long as i can use them without a number on the end or placing XX's in it i'm fine for the long run.

I've been playing nonstop since the demo arrived. Even if the finished game only consisted of one map, I'd still be playing it a year from now. Too bad the demo ends a week before they game comes out. I guess thats when they will be working on their servers.
I've been playing the Battlefield series since 1942. It's only been a slow, painful downhill slope since then.
From what I've played of Bad Company 2, it's a pretty mediocre experience. It is telling that most people try to justify how "good it is" by comparing it to Modern Warfare 2. It's a completely different experiencing and, even then, it's a severely watered-down version of a game that I enjoyed years ago.
On it's own, the game is only so-so.
The whole "it's better than MW2" thing was a meme first cultivated by the game's marketing team. By comparing apples with oranges you're doing free marketing for them, and ultimately allowing your thought-patterns to be controlled by your friendly neighborhood corporation.

I've been rocking the demo since release. It's met my expectations fully, it's such a good feeling to revive a teammate in need; you really feel helpful and important to the team.
@RuckSack I started playing at 2. Bad Company is a spin off, that isn't in the main series. In BC2 I feel more connected to the battle, and there's a lot to be said for that. I'm sure when the game comes out you'll be more convinced.
I also do believe it is better for me, as you could have seen in the first handful of sentences, if you had read it. "It's better for me, and quite probably a whole legion of other people." I did not say it was a better made game, and I understand it is different.

I'm not trying to flame you, but you can't have it both was. Your blog is entitled "Battlefield BC:2 beta on 360 > MW2", which seems to be a rather succinct and direct statement.
Furthermore, I have read your post.
If you notice I only took you to task on one issue and it's the fact that you compare the two; which is precisely what the BF:BC 2 marketing team has been trying to have people do for ages.
Put simply, your blog is built upon a dubious, if not an outright nonsensical, binary. Other than both being games with military themes and multiplayer, there is very little to compare favorably or negatively.

Which is why I said it is for me and a legion of other people. As you can see with the caption on the last picture "FLAMEBAIT FLAMEBAIT FLAMEBAIT", the title is more of a joke than anything. I do, however, stand by the fact that I find it more engaging than Modern Warfare 2. You could compare Rogue Warrior and MW2, and find one is certainly better. But I admit this post was opinion, and partially speculative about the final product of the game.
