Battlefield: Bad Company 2 sells 2.3 million units in US, Europe

Well thats one thing Dice can’t challenge MW2 at

“Well thats one thing Dice can’t challenge MW2 at ”

I’ll take 2.3 million people who know what they’re doing and can play a game while acting like mature adults over 13 million annoying teenagers with bad attitudes any day of the week.

TBH TEA, that’s more impressive imo then it is on paper.

I really feel bad for you O’Connor. You just prove you have no life. What happened no date on St. Patty’s day or something. Why do you post here when you have your own site? I don’t get it, its so pathetic that its too funny.

“What happened no date on St. Patty’s day or something.”

The rest of the world makes a very bigger fuss of St Paddy’s day than us Irish do, but for the record I’m currently nursing a wonderful hangover. Thanks for the concern though.

You’re commenting on someone commenting on a news story, a site on which you are vastly more active on than the person you are attempting to troll, and *I’m* the one who has no life?

Okay then.

How about you stick to the topic instead? No, didn’t think so.

Congratulation DICE, well deserved great sales

johnny I wasn’t trying to knock Dice. I’m just saying as of late they have been trying to counter ever thing MW2 does, but overall sells they can’t really tout their horn much

Cause we all know 2 million is shit, right?

@2 Straight into the defensive, eh?

I’m pretty sure big overpowered tanks, helicopters and IFVs are far more impressive to these ubiquitous “kids” all gamers seem to love so much, than a game where you just have to shoot better and think faster than everybody else.

I haven’t seen anything to distinguish either games audience as being a certain age. People seem to do some brainless things in both of ‘em. I’m pretty sure most shooters draw crowds between 11-21, and judging from the ridiculous stories of both campaigns, I’d say they’re aiming closer to 11.

That said, it could be worse I suppose, but with CoD still holding on to the sales charts, there’s not really any contest. I think they could do better over time on the DLC though.

Congrats to DICE as well.

It’s the first game in a long long time that has brought all my m8s together back on pc for lots of shooting hilarity.

Doesn’t matter O’Connor 2 million is good, but they won’t do MW2 sales even though I prefer BFBC over MW2. Dice can’t say shit about that topic regardless of them taking shots at MW2 earlier.

“I haven’t seen anything to distinguish either games audience as being a certain age.”

The average voice I hear down my head-piece is proof enough for me.

Forget the voice alone, my friends list and my sons friends lists tell the story. It used to be that those lists were filled with kids playing Halo. Now they are over run with the same kids playing MW2.

Is your son an annoying brat who scream noobish curses down people’s ear?

“I’ll take 2.3 million people who know what they’re doing and can play a game while acting like mature adults over 13 million annoying teenagers with bad attitudes any day of the week.”

How do you know that? For some reason i cant hear anyone in BFBC2 but i’ve seen some people do some pretty dumb stuff through their in-game actions.

@14 no that would be OG

@15 BFBC2 is FULL of noobs, seriously, just lay some mines

Point is, I’ve found the BC2 userbase to vastly more enjoyable and vastly less annoying than the MW2 userbase. Talk about taking my statement out of context. Jesus.

@12 Do you read horoscopes as well? That’s hardly very scientific. I don’t associate with very many kids, but the friends I play with are all in their mid 20′s – Hey, that must mean everybody playing MW2 is, right?

We’re talking about two very similar shooters, and as explained above, the one you’re favoring isn’t less attractive to the young mind, offering more random destruction as well as vehicles to do it with. When I was in my early teens those were the focal points of my existence.

The majority of Modern Warfare 2 gamers are minors with delusions of “uber pr0ness” due to the game being a huge pile of talentless, casual gaming shit. IF you think MW2 requires skill to play, then you know NOTHING of FPS gaming.

@19 Right, and doing the exact same thing on an internet forum or comment section is different…. How?

I’m just gonna go laughing into the distance now. Thanks for the demonstration though.

well deserved. great game. …@9: the game is extremely well balanced. tanks are not overpowered at all. they are tanks so they have to be powerfull!…one or to hits with an engineers rpg and they are history. i also prefer bfbc2 over mw2. it´s more tactical than mw2 and you have to earn every kill which makes it very satisfying. if someone prefers the mw2 run and kill gameplay thats ok but i am bored with the franchise even though i´m pretty good at it.

Lol @ big overpowered tanks.

Because Air strikes you cant shoot down, nukes you cant defend against, C130 gun ships, and etc are so much more fair than a tank that dies with 2 or 3 RPG hits.. gtfo seriously.

I bet the only reason the game didnt sell even more than it did is so many noobs played the demo and realized they’d epically fail at the game so they went back to the MW2 muck hole.

@21 I could accept that explanation with the tanks, if the human beings were even vaguely balanced towards realism as well. In MW2 you take a guy down with a maximum of 4 shots to the body if you’re playing on regular setting, able to do the job with most weapons in 3, getting an extra 40% from headshots.

That’s a lot closer to realistic, even if one bullet or even a ricochet might ruin your whole day in real life.

In BC2 you can basically risk emptying an entire assault rifle magazine into a guy, and even with a machinegun as feared as the PK you’re gonna need an obscene ammount of hits, so it just makes no sense at all. Just looking at the ballistics of the guns it’s obvious that realism wasn’t an objective.

I’ve studied warfare for most of my adult life, and I can tell you that while neither of the games are particularly realistic, there’s certainly more tactical elements involved with playing CoD – I could write you a whole list that no one would read, but just look at roomclearing as a case and point.

@22 If you’re able to take the guy down before he gets those killstreaks, you won’t have that problem. It takes two people to get a killstreak, the guy winning all the time, and the guy(s) losing all the time. It’s no use crying about it in a game that relies on skill – You just have to learn from it and get better at it, or find something on your level.

Oh, and I’m sure you’re right, BC2 is just too pro, that’s why everybody plays MW2. Our balls are too small for such a grand adventure. Too bad, Dice.

@23 that is the most ignorant piece of bs I have seen in awhile.

If you like MW2, fine. Your lose.

However if your saying you have to empty a clip into a guy to kill him in BFBC2 your either lying or ignorant altogether. Two shots tat-tat and your on the ground. One if from a sniper gun in the head or chest(kill zones).

Now if you want to kill someone from shooting them in the legs that may take longer. Maybe you can do that in MW2 I don’t know I don’t play it.

Also if your basing your conclusion on the BFBC2 demo, don’t. As you play you will level up, unlocking better guns, and specs. Add on a mrks mn spec to your PK and watch em drop like flies.

I have a friend on my FL curently in the 51st, ask him what game simulates real combat better – he owns both MW2 and BFBC2. Plays the latter. He will tell you that neither is realistic. However the action, settings, and over all mood is much better in BFBC2. But keep in mind that neither is realistic, and both are video games.

However BFBC2 better creates a … um …well a Battlefield. Apachies, blackhawks, M1Abrams, Jeeps, ect. MW2 boils down to campers, kids, and perks.

Most people that bitch about BFBC2 complain about it because they can’t grasp the team concept.

I had a guy shouting about how he can’t score and how much better MW2 was. He scored about 200points. The rest of the squad and I played as a unit, I scored 3200points, second on my team. The MW2 players was trying to solo his way, despite me explaining how it was possed to work.

I see that all of the time. Do us a favor stay in the kiddie pool, play MW2.
