    I just hope that they don't drop the wicked sense of humor from the first Bad Company. It was one of the biggest things I loved about it. #battlefieldbadcompany2

    Bad Company was a great game, but the squad-based MP sucked. Trying to get a cohesive team strategy going was impossible. #battlefieldbadcompany2

    @avgbear: Plus for some reason even the whole idea of creating a squad, and having it "hold together" from game to new game was really screwed up.

    Was a real pain in the neck to try and get friends all on the same team/squad, and then after finishing a round/map/game the thing would go and put us on separate sides for the next round.

    Sure hope they tighten up the squad/team stuff in BC2. #battlefieldbadcompany2

    @Stymie99: I somehow doubt your squad will stay together between matches, seeing how they hadn't fixed it for BF:1943 either. Unless they were just too lazy to use new code over the code from BFBC.

    That said, I enjoyed the single player of BFBC more than that of CoD4 while CoD4's campaign was more tense. But perhaps that was just due to the switching of the character you played as. #battlefieldbadcompany2

    Bad Company 1 had some great features and potential, but in the end there was something about the aiming and feel of accuracy to the weapons that did not resonate very well. I didn't feel like I was shooting anything, and had a very hard time discerning what was going on on my TV. While I was playing on a CRT tv at the time, I also played COD4 on my CRT and didn't have the same issues. #battlefieldbadcompany2

    Any word on the massive amount of rounds required to take someone down and that whole "my grenade launcher can bring down an entire wall but can't kill this guy in even two hits" thing?

    Bad Company was a really enjoyable game, but damn the damage system pissed me off. #battlefieldbadcompany2

    I'm really looking forward to this as are many in the PC community. It's feels a bit like the return of a much love girlfriend. Battlefield on the PC was at one point the FPS to own but their absense from the platform for so long forced people to move on to browner, higher resolution pastures.

    The brand may not have the momentum of a Call of Duty yet, but the intent to compete is there. call of Duty is still the king. This one's the hungry hopeful.

    I agree to a certain extent but I wouldn't say that's true for the PC. Battlefield is a very well established and liked FPS on the platform and it's much more than just a hungry hopeful there (especially considering IW recent controversies).

    I'd call it the Daddy Lion returning to his pride and eyeing up the new blood for a kill.

    @-MasterDex-: I'm willing to bet that BC2 will beat out MW2 in PC Sales, especially once people find out about the lack of dedicated server support (other than those in the know) and a 9v9 player cap.

    Gamestop and the rest will have PC gamers lining up to sell back their $25 game that they bought for $60 #battlefieldbadcompany2

    @Aphex Ninja: And they'll be turning them all down since PC games are non-refundable :(

    Hopefully, it beats it out because the winner will probably set the standard for future games.

    @pjladyfox: That's not bad....I don't like the idea of labelling IW/Activision as Batman though...it sullys his image. #battlefieldbadcompany2

    I wish someone would get a hands-on with the PC version. I just want to see if it works out well (as I'd really prefer it on the PC) or was a garbled port.

    I have faith in the BF2 team working on the PC version, but I'm still weary about it all.

    And no jets? Why were they removed after BF2? I loved the jets and team killing for them. =( #battlefieldbadcompany2

    @-MasterDex-: That's so true! Can't wait to test out my hardware on the Frostbite Engine.

    But it seems no one in the press has touched it on PC, then again, that's how it is with nearly every single PC/360 game. 360 first, PC never.

    And...

    @Countchokeula: I forgot about '43's planes, so obviously they have the code in place to put some jets in. Let's just hope it doesn't turn into... Paid DLC...

    @SuperTongue: cool. i never played the first one, you see (i heard mixed things about it). seems to me that it takes 1 or 2 iterations of a big, multiplayer war-combat FPS before the developer gets everything right (graphics/pacing/gameplay/online modes)- so this game is probably gonna be great. #battlefieldbadcompany2
