Well their actual fan base is on the PC, but good news all around.

Are they sure they don't count pirates? I mean this sounds...surprising...Revan_911

That's how it should be.

MW2 could have had that had IW/ACTIVISION not treated the PC audience like children.

This is good news.

A lot of great ideas comes from the Users. COD benefitted greatly from the modding community, as I'm sure BFBC2 will.

EDIT : Adding Link for future posters to enjoy.

DICE loves Mod Community.

If the servers worked. :evil:

Even though it's been on consoles too for a while, the Battlefield franchise has its roots in the PC community. It's not really that surprising. The gameplay style isn't the same gonzo killfest that console multiplayer shooters usually are.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the competitive community on Red Orchestra nearly exclusively uses an exploit fix called "Exterminator," because of the fact that the developers have scarcely attempted to fix the vast catalogue of player-found bugs.

Really, console gamers have NO IDEA what they are talking about when they say matchmaking is okay, and they have NO IDEA what they are talking about when they say that mods are not a good thing, and I mean that in the most disparaging way allowed on these forums.

I'd be playing it on LIVE if it actually let me connect to the server.

Oh, the irony of this post :lol:

PC gamers CAN'T play pirated copies online. 360 gamers who pirate BC2 CAN.

What is this supposed to mean something? I see nothing special about it.

I don't know why people think Mods aren't a good thing, it's really sad as those very mods can benefit those very same gamers in the future with DLC/sequels. :(

Here's some interesting information on the future of the mod community from DICE, we'll see how it plays out.:P

Not always true but yes thanks to your key linked to EA is hard to use a pirated copy to play online and although probably there are some pirates there number must be minimal as opposed to legal owners who play online

Also although this is not much to on about but in Amazon.De the best selling game is the pc version of BC2

Mods are fun and even important for the community. I've learned that back in my PC gaming days. As for this report, I'm not surprised really. I'll be playing in on PS3 soon though.

That's great for PC. But it would also suggest the game is selling pretty poorly...

as already mentioned before..pirates can't play online. I'm suprised to hear it's doing well on the PC since alot of PC fanboys use to say bad company was just a downgraded version of the BF series.lawlessx

Its been 4 years since our last BF game 2142, we were BF deprived.

This is the next best thing imo till Battlefield 3.

Sorry to be a silly console person. But if it's as easy to stop pirates just by linking to an EA (or whoever) account, why don't all devs do this? Instead of horrible invasive DRM. locopatho

"The way our tools are setup for Frostbite currently - this isn't the plan for the future - it's all within a network structure, so we have servers, a network farm, hard drives all over the place, caching systems. For the development team it's not even a realistic thing to try to pretend we could put out. So we just bit the bullet and were honest and were like, 'This is not something we can do with this game.'"DICE Producer

got the PC version... so this is great news

the more the merrier
