Seems need 15GB HD space for Steam(Digital Download) in system requirements. Perhaps more than 1 Dvd?

how come steam?
doesnt EA have its own EA downloader? or did they get rid of it?

Steam always has bigger files. My Mass Effect is 10gb while retail is 1 disc.

Still I think BC2 is 1 disc.

Will they let us preload the beta then enter the code on Thursday?

So do you have to download 15gb or is it compressed during downloading?

beta maybe under 10gb ... not all function working on beta ....

beta all function working, but usually just 1 map only.

Port Valdez. Focus on vehicular combat.

No one tk me for the chopper even if I suck at it .

i hope we can pre-load it today XD
otherwise need to download on thursday =[

such a big application

Got some people playing it in Steam. I don't know how

playing in steam?


meant they downloaded the game oledi?

Going to bank in the money for my copy of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 tomorrow, only thing i'm still worrying about is the ping i will get in the servers.

No confirmed dedi servers for our area yet right? Worse come to the worst just play on aussie servers.

lol, hope they will think of us
or else the only thing can enjoy is single player

Buy a Battlefield game to play singleplayer... really make no sense. If no dedi servers can still sell the game at least. It's not a Steam controlled game.

it would be quite meaningless to play laggy FPS games lo.
really hope there's a local server! EA wanna wipe MW2crap once and for all? give us more local servers!

RM129 is really affordable and i've already begun my poisoning propaganda to ask more people to buy the game once it is released.

I'm watching a vid of MW2 on youtube. Wah, I only experienced spec ops and single player. What happened to teamwork like spec ops? So arcadey.

Well they did start this rent-a-server crap.

True


Ermm... to tell you the truth, I actually bought MW2 while waiting for BC2. And it's the worst purchase in my life. The MP is totally hack fest (Only PC, no idea about console tho). There's this time, IW patch the client and these people can't use the hack for few hours. And this guy "****head" actually confess on paying for the wall hack and aimbot. And he also tell us where to purchase the hacks. These guys actually paying for a service to aim and detect enemy for them. Well, please dont ask me the url, ask ur frenz in SG.

Edit : Found this when I was checking BFBC2 update on twitter. LOL



Back to BC2,
Actually what I like about Steam is: normally they don't have disc check and good game back up. ( Although Steam Client is already a DRM, lol ) And Steam > EA Download Manager.

Added on January 25, 2010, 11:18 pmBattlefield Bad Company Squad Rush Gamemode Details! (Source)

We'd like to officially announce the new gamemode and clarify the details surrounding the "Squad Rush" gamemode for BFBC2. So let's start with the video and get into it shall we. :-)





Squad Rush Summary

Gamemode: Squad Rush puts a squad of four players versus another squad of four players for a max of eight player matches in this intense one crate/two base infantry only version of the Rush gamemode.



How To Access "Squad Rush" at Launch

North America: All customers that pre-order from GameStop (local retail store or website) on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 will have an Exclusive Access* for 30 days to play the "Squad Rush" gamemode and any friends they bring with them. This means you can always play with your friends if you have the Exclusive Access* never forcing you to split from them, plus those that have this Exclusive Access* are a bit more popular... even if only for 30 days. ;-)



Rest of The World: No Exclusive Access, but we will make it available at launch and you can also invite any of your American buddies to play as well.



* No Exclusive Access on PC, however we'll make the gamemode available at launch instead.

Well any details on servers in sea? Especially during beta period

So far, still the old news (11th Jan)


Still digging the news on the "DICE Trusted Dedicated Servers Provider".

You mean it shows as non-Steam game? Well, you can just add anything there and rename it to anything you want.

Finally, more green to my eyes instead of brown brown brown
