That's great news. I didn't expect it to be as popular, though the quality is well deserving of it.

I was kinda secretly hoping it to flop so they'd make BF3 PC exclusive, oh well. Still any success for EA is good in my books so that they can fight the evil Activision.

Good news, it was a quality title, let's hope they hurry up with BF3, and keep it PC-only, although it isn't likely.

I think it is highly likely. They said they havent forgot about PC gamers. That is why 1943 on the PC is supposed to be on a bigger scale than the console version. Consoles will be fine with BC2

How? If it has a large scale(which it will) I can not see it going to consoles. BF2:MC was before consoles had Bad Company. Bad Company is BFs new console miniseries or w/e you want to call it. I am almost sure it will be PC exclusive. We will have to wait and see. They may even go higher than 64 players.

I've played it quite a bunch actually just to relive the nostalgia which 1942 possess's. Overall it's one of the best DLC games out there and EASILY delivers, however if the more arcade style gameplay fits the quick play type but unlike 1942 it can get tedius to play it over an extensive amount of time at once. I don't like the respawning granade rains, wimpy tanks etc, but considering it's DLC and pretty cheap it's flaws I can look past.

I do not have my precious BF:Vietnam or 2142 anymore.(weird combo I know). I am excited to play a large scale BF again. I am alittle worried about what the specs will be though.

I'm begging them to start milking me for money with map packs. I need more maps! I feel better about being milked (lawls) by a $15 game for more maps and such than a $60 game (Halo, CoD).

They said if the game did well enough then they MAY release free DLC. Good news! It sold like crazy!

its a good game except its one fault vehicles which pretty much ensure much spawn killing with tanks ontop of your spawn.

The only saving grace of the vehicles are the airplanes.

They should thank those 600,000 hospitable people with a free map or three.

Cool wish it had more maps because coral sea is not that fun. The 3 maps are good but I can see them getting stale especially with games like KZ2 and Warhawk which have a lot of maps and in Warhawks case different layouts.
