If you’re having issues with PunkBuster, you can get the separate PBSetup application off the EvenBalance website.

You dial in the games you have installed, and click “Update.” This will download all the latest definition files, and you should be pretty well set from there. A few games have had issues with their first download, and this is how I’ve gotten them to work in the past (Far Cry 2 and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory come to mind).

Battlefield 1943 is bloody great fun. They’ve gone back to basics, and distilled Battlefield to its purest elements. They even removed ammo limits, because they got in the way of things. It’s only a handfull of maps, but it’s a great little downloadable romp.

Bad Company 2 looks to be 1943 expanded out into a full game, and that can only be a good thing.

Oh. Well, that’s fair enough. :/ :P

I was still happily playing reality mod when 2142 came out, stuck with it.

I do hope that explosion debris doesn’t vanish the second it hits the ground in the PC version. The more I replay this vid, the more the debris seems OTT. If it showered the ground in crap which stayed at least for a while, it might be bearable, but the fact so much debris is thrown up from one explosion…only to vanish, is just odd!

I wonder if all of this is almost like a feeder series, that takes you in little steps up towards BF3?
So BF: Heroes -> BF 1943 -> BF2:BC -> BF3

That was supposed to be a response to Jad. Does anyone else have this problem? I hate this problem.

Bad Company 1 had a single player campaign that was worth playing. Not great, just worth playing. It wasn’t the multiplayer maps with bots, the storyline made sense and I really like the supporting cast, and the gameplay was full of fun explosions. Unfortunately, it was also painfully easy, and when you died you just instantly respawned.

At this point, if the game has dedicated servers, then I am on board.

Also: It looks almost exactly like COD4, but with tanks…. Thats cool in my book.

Looks great, but it remains to be seen how exactly they’re going to differentiate Bad Company 2 MP from Battlefield 3 proper. As far as we know both games will be in the modern era, run on Frostbite, and feature destructible environments. Will it be little more than a different set of maps? Seems rather redundant. Awesome, mind you, but redundant.

Looks like they’re using the spotter overlay system from BF2142.

If you haven’t played 2142 I’d like to ask why not it was fucking awesome!… ahem, I mean when you or someone in your squad briefly held your cross hair over an enemy a red diamond would be overlayed against them on every member of your squad’s huds

This will be the game that forces me to upgrade my computer (if it can’t run it well).
Battlefield 3.

BF3 is in the works.

Which is sort of odd. I’m not sure which one of BF3 or BC2 we’re supposed to view as the sequel to proper PC Battlefieldiness.
