Whats a better multiplayer game for multiplayer, Battlefield 2 or Battlefield bad company 2? I understand Battlefield 3 is probably better but my computer will not handle it.

They're different. BF2 is more tactical and has a strategic layer. It's also a lot slower, combat is generally over longer distances, harder - and it's not quite as tight as BC2 (being years later). It also has far more scope and demands more cooperation. BC2 is a balance between COD run and gun and the Battlefield formula. Smaller maps, fraction of the player count, less vehicles. However it's a more intimate action focused game, that loses the strategic layer and big team coordination in favour of tight tactical teamwork. They're both great for their own reasons, however BF2 for its time was phenomenal, and still needs a proper successor (BF2142 was amazing too). BC2 probably holds up better because of this age difference, but ultimately it boils down to what kind of gameplay you want. Player count wise, I have NFI. Anyhoo, if your comp can't run BF3 then I'd be careful of BC2 - both games share the same engine.

BF2 is a lot harder to get into, you will get destroyed early. Not to say that BC2 is an easy game to learn but the map structure and other elements make it easier for newer players to get some kills and action. BC2 requires a fairly beefy PC anyway.

If your pc can handle it then go with Bad Company 2. If not then you can choose Battlefield 2

I don't think BC2 will be much easier to run than BF3; they're both console games, so they both run on nearly decade old hardware.
