My friend Nate has a Quad core and a 9000 series Nvidia GPU, says the game runs fantastically.
That's because if something doesn't work well on a Quad core, then the game itself is broken, not the computer.

The game got an average "meh" review, so I'm not going to touch it even with a PC port.
Especially, if the port falls on its face when it comes to utilizing current PC technology.

I never got this console vs PC war, what's so funny about it?

First off you realize your fancy console games are made on PCs right?



Consoles are neat, PCs are neat, why is it always fighting?
well... it begins with something called Fanboys... >.>

As you must already know.

OT: I dont find it a bad port at all, though I never played the ps3/360 version outside of the demo/ps3 beta, When I do get online for BFBC2 on PC it is just amazing its sooooo much fun. :D

This is kind of to be expected since the Frostbite engine (the engine BC1, BC2, and 1943 run on) was created specifically for consoles. BC2 is the first game that uses the engine on the PC. Of course there are going to be issues.

From what I can tell its a hell of a lot better than the beta, but there are still some issues.

Give them time to fix it. Thats all you can do.

I'm not interested in Bad Company 2 and never was, but I were a PC gamer who was looking forward to it - especially after after boycotting MW2 - I'd be disappointed.
DICE promised big to secure PC sales and it seems like they couldn't follow through.

One thing i hate about the pc version is the server browser. it feels like an afterthought, right now im trying to join a game and it doesn't say Ive lost connection, or the server is full even when it isn't, it just stops connecting and has no reason why.

I have two computers capable of running BFBC2. My quad core desktop can run the game beautifully up until the last few levels on high graphics. Once I play an online game I must turn my graphics from high to medium if not low. Back when Battlefield 2 came out my PC at the time could handle singleplayer games beautifully, but the multiplayer was always taxing. Multiplayer games devour resources because they have to track multiple PCs, draw the map, and render the closest objects. In the next two or so years PC gamers will play this game with no problem, but always at release they're bugged.
The frostbite engine hasn't been released for modding because DiCE admitted that it was nowhere near being complete. The reason console games are always more stable when released is because it's harder to patch a DVD or Bluray than it is to patch a game on a hard-drive. The difference is: PC games are bottlenecked by certain aspects of the system and the resources they have available to them while consoles have a designated amount of resource set for the operating system.

That's the first thing I thought when I started checking my performance issues, that this game wasn't nearly pretty enough to require such high end hardware... and it turns out it isn't. It's just made like shit.
All those who are surprised, raise your hands.

At least they have dedicated servers. Choose your poison.
