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."

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.

I think he's angry thta PC doesn't get the next hot thing so they have to replay the same old thing. Or something, thats the vibe I'm getting.

They'll get back.siLVURcross

Even if this is true, so what? RDR was a hugely anticipated game. Is it really unexpected people would take a break from a game they've been playing for months to play a new game they've been looking forward to? I'm one of those BC2 players taking a break. I finished Alan Wake and am now really enjoying RDR. I guarantee you, however, once I'm done I'll eventually go back to BC2.

If that is true, it will only last until they beat the single player. Rockstar has yet to make a multiplayer game that is actually fun. Even this one had a gamebreaking invisibility bug on day 1.

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.

Everything you say turns to gold...

And they won't come back... ever.

3 big games came out. plus BC2 gets boring.

WOW talk about mass excavation

[QUOTE="tbone802"] So when Halo3 is the most played game on Live years after its release it's "Because Lems have no other games to play" and when people are jumping from great game to great game you get well thought out responses like the one above. Don't worry guy, you will probably get a RDR port to play on your PC soon enough, then you can be a hypocrite when you stop playing Diablo2 in favor of the newer title. muzik_mafia

Thanks, man. I like to think I make sense from time to time. :)

Lame, I just bought that and RDR yesterday. x[

TC : Link Please?

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

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.

Maybe if EA wakes tha **** up and fix lag they won't be losing that much players. Every time i try to spend couple of hours on this game these days its just unplayable. Hello EA? You know your servers are garbage... can you just do something? Or ya need another year or two? Just stupid, i haven't seen a game with as much lags other than gears 1 and 2.silversix_
