Bad Company 2 Loses 1 Million Players

According to DICE, "Battlefield Bad Company 2 lost a little over 1 million users per day 2 days after the launch of Red Dead Redemption. This number accounts for all 3 systems."

TC : Link Please?

If it is true, that's interesting, as I wonder what other online pools / games RDR syphoned from.

is RDR on the pc? if not the loss's have to be 99% console. Thats what console players do, there is no modding or real communities, only sheep moving with the herd to the next hot thing, AKA fast food gaming, AKA console gaming.

Even if it were true, I doubt RDR's multiplayer could hold BC2 players away from it.

I would not doubt it... The pure fail of the lagggggggggggggggggggggggg!!! Constant down time and just horrible experience in general kill that game for me. I haven't touched it in over a month. BFBC1 is way better then BFBC2.

Why is this such a surprise. RDR is a high profile game. This happens all the time when games like this are released. After the dust settles, things will even out a bit.

its a new rockstar game? what do you expect?

My friends lists tend to agree, before it was released it was a good mix of BFBC2, FFXI, MW2 and Alan Wake (on 360), yesterday it was completely RDR.

cuz console gamers dont need to worry about hardware restriction like pc gamers. They just buy games they want to play.

That's why blizzard always make dated graphics pc games (according to pc's standard), cuz they know instead of making an outstanding graphics game that nobody's pc can run, they will make more money with a game that everyone's pc can run.

Well, DICE already has their money, so this is potentially a good thing for them.

Yeah...I'm gonna have to agree. Seriously? A new game comes out that scores well and you're SURPRISED that people want to play it? Wow. Yes, because you're not a true gamer unless you play the same game that's been modded so many times it no longer resembles the original game. I mean, it's not like devs would be appreciative of you buying more games since making games doesn't cost money. Oh wait...

The other response here that I find kind of ridiculous is, "LOLZ, RDR's online isn't even that good!" First of all, that's completely subjective. I for one love it. Secondly, way to invalidate the heavily lauded 20-40 hours available in the single player alone. You know, that thing that games like MW2 and BC2 typically fail to deliver with.

I'm playing the single player story right now and I'm loving it. I also own and love BC2. In fact, I was playing the MP on BC2 up until midnight release for RDR. Will I return to BC2 eventually? Of course. Because it's a DIFFERENT experience. But for now RDR will be taking up all my gaming time.

Bad lag, some glitches, incompetent squads and teams, needs more maps, yep, I can understand why it loses millions.

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"] I never see lag, there are some glitches but DICE has never had glitch free polish (ever), squad up with me and my friends :) , there are more maps than other MP games....your opinion makes me sad. BFBC2 rocks! ;)KingTuttle

[QUOTE="KingTuttle"]

[QUOTE="mitu123"] Dude, I love this game(I'm a level 40 after all), those are just it's flaws(though teams is based on community), more maps, really, they're limited on each mode.

This just in! Useless piece of information that everybody cares about! (citation needed)

You make it sound like a bad thing. I am a "Fast Food Gamer" on pc as well. Hell i just bought both torch light and the total war collection for pc while im still playing other games. That doesnt mean i dont stick with certain games, i always have go-to games that have the best communities. Mine happen to be Team fortress 2, counter strike source for PC, and on ps3 its bad company 2 and socom confrontation. Like another user said, more games, more diverse experiences.
