I would buy the pc version if you guys were able to put up a TD server for it. I loved the first one, it was so much fun.

we MIGHT have a server for it, however I think EA will force everyone to rent from they're prefereeded hosts(to get ranked servers), and this game isn't worth tacking on another $70-80 a month to the monthly costs
we do however plan to bring in a BF3 server when it is released
hopefully bc2 doesnt have rank crap

ooh bf3 server, now that would be cool!!!
I'm thinking about picking up BC2, looks pretty good. Never played the first one though, been just playing BF2/Special Forces. For those who tried it, any other air support than choppers in bc2? Couldn't see anything on their website mentioning it.

Don't fool yourself BF3 servers will be tightly controlled by EA.

And as I suspected to those hoping to run BF servers....
[blockquote]When Infinity Ward first announced that Modern Warfare 2 wouldn't support dedicated servers, the PC community was in an uproar. Along with other decisions regarding the game that were seen by the PC gamers as a stab in the back, it ended up with PC sales amounting to only three percent of the total. Be it because it actually felt like the PC had been taken a notch down as far as developer attention went, or because this was just seen as a golden marketing opportunity, DICE was very vocal about its disapproval of the “no dedicated servers” concept.
While trying to not lash out at someone else's product as much as it could, the Battlefield developer made it very clear that its game wouldn't follow the same road as MW2. It promised that Bad Company 2 would be a proper PC experience, with large servers and support for dedicated ones. Now, while talking to Eurogamer, Bad Company 2's Producer, Gordon Van Dyke, has detailed these servers, and the first thing he has revealed is that the files that the community will need in order to build dedicated servers won't be released, in an attempt to “protect the game's integrity on PC.”
As such, the only way to host a dedicated server for BC2 will be to rent one from DICE's authorized hosts. According to Van Dyke, “This does not earn DICE a profit. But we will see where the game goes and support it post launch.” As for the hosts themselves, these have been picked in “all major regions of the world,” so, unless you're in one of them, don't expect to have a perfect, lag-less BC2 multiplayer experience.
Truth be told, this isn't that much of a difference from the previous workings of other Battlefield games. While DICE did offer the choice to host the server in one's own living room, very few players did, and servers were still rented to ensure a constant, quality connection. The problem here would be more of an ideological one. DICE promised to fully support the PC community, but it has already announced that mod tools won't be released for the game, and now it has even restricted the server freedom, in a world where anarchy rules.
The restricted files are bound to be leaked sooner rather than later, and DICE should know this, so we have to wonder just what it is trying to achieve by restricting them in the first place. While it's still far from Modern Warfare 2, BC2 seems to slowly but surely move in the same general direction. [/blockquote]

ya thats activision prop EA is a different xompany and whoever said BC2 didnt have dedicated servers it has them as well as a server Browser and im sure BF3 will do the same. and if they realease MW3 on PC i bet it will have dedicated servers simply because of how badly it failed on the PC side. it sold less that 80, 000 on PC side they could have made another million if they didnt piss all over all the PC side and i bet they learned there lesson on that note

Just an update to this thread (can't believe I haven't made a post yet).
Connection Issues
There's a fuckload of reports of connection issues, however I've fixed mine with one simple-ass step:
1 ) google "PBSETUP" and update
2 ) Open the Battlefield directory in your main drive, for me it's :
C:/ProgramFiles(x86)/ElectronicArts/Battlefield
Double-click "BFBC2Updater"
3 ) Let the bitch update, and you're done. Problem Solved. No patches, no custom nonsense. Kids are pretty dumb
The Game
Multiplayer is fuckin AMAZING. 32-people max (so far that I've seen), and it's fuckin INTENSE, AMAZING, and WICKED!
A must own!!!!
