DICE takes pity on the consoles, map unlocked without completing the challenge

http://www.joystiq.com/2011/01/02/bad-company-2s-operation-hastings-map-unlocked-for-ps3-and-xbox/

PC gamers managed to complete the teamwork challenge with relative ease, but the console players lagged behind for so long that DICE just gave it to them to celebrate the new year :lol:

Teamwork? Consoles? FPS?

No way.

I wonder if the conosle version of BC2 has the medic in it, you know, that guy who has to heal others.

It's because I wasn't playing it :oops:

Also just a lack of teamwork probably.

I praise this DICE iniciative towards the enhancement of the enjoy of people that currently could have problems to understand what "teamwork", "cooperation" and "support your mates to get the task" means. Is such a gracious gesture.

Dam why couldn't they say you get the map but you dont get BF3 because you suck:lol:

I always try and help people out but I have a bad habbit of getting shot trying

Teanwork in BC2? Hard to play as a team when 80% of the game's population play as a sniper the whole match...

Heh. So true.

Is this really something to brag about? You pc elites are getting desperate trying to assume your complete power over gaming.

Desperate? Elites? Its a well known fact that:

PC > Consoles

No desperation needed;)

I have a pc but you do not see me trying posting everywhere about how great it is. It is so awsome it hasn't had a game of the year on gamespot since 2006. But I will play a long, I will start bowing now just to make you feel better.

Fighters? Platformers? Hack n' Slash/Beat em' Ups? JRPG's? Racers?

Didn't know PC had better games in these genres.

Don't twist my words. I just stated the way things are supposed to be said.

If you want to taunt, I'll just go ahead and say Diablo 2 and Recettear.

They revive sometimes too often. Like when there are couple enemies close to me camping. They kill me and some medic comes close to me, takes cover and revives me. I can't do anything before the enemies gun me down again and then the medic revives me again. Sometimes this happens 5 or 6 times in a row. I really hate when it happens.

This achievement was mostly due because PC version has more players.

All I was doing is stateing why PC gaming isn't the end all product in gameing. If it was, people wouldn't buy consoles. It doesn't take much thought process to know consoles dish out some of the best quality in specefic genres, while PC dish out the best quality in others.

If you want to argue this, that's fine. But I'm pretty sure Nintendo speaks for itself with SMG2. You won't find anything like that on PC.

Also, it's pretty bad you have to bring up a game from EARLY last gen (that doesn't even fit in a genre I listed), and another game hardly anyone has played to try and make a point.

I thought BC2 was catered towards consoles so everyone on PC were way too hardcore and played BF2. The notion that PC players cooperate more and that is why they won the challenge is complete BS. Who wouldn't heal their teamate or spot enimies with the scout class. It is how the game is played.

Actually, the Japanese Indie scene on the PC is HUGE. And I'd say that they are doing much better than modern JRPG's.

And as far as racers go, it depends on what you like: If you like pure arcade racers or pure simulations, you go to the PC. If you like racers who are half arcade/half sim, you go the consoles.

As far as the other 3 genres? The consoles have better games.

The difference between all the versions is that on all three nobody uses headsets but at least on the pc you can text chat to your whole team if needed. SAGE_OF_FIRE

All the statistics disagree with you sorry, PC gamers completed the teamwork challenge days ago, the consoles still havent finsihed it. The Global statistics for spots, revives, resupplies, etc are not much higher on consoles or even less than PC, despite the consoles having 40+% more hours played.

This is true from what ive noticed, played the game on both pc and 360 and there is much mroe teamwork in the pc community for this game. On xbox it seem slike people mostly go for kills, while on PC people dont mind goign crazy as medic,etc..

PS: This Vietnam expansion is fantastic.
