Battlefield: Bad Company 2 to have day-one DLC

Is going prone that big of a deal? Most people play Halo just fine without it...

Not really, the maps are so huge and sometimes covered in foliage so it's easy for a sniper to stay hidden without being prone.

Even if that's the case then it's sloppiness, not generosity as they're presenting it.

Sloppiness? What's so sloppy? They've spent hundreds of hours on making a (I'm guessing) quality game, and because they want to provide us with something they couldn't quite fit in, you call them sloppy? I'm going to go out on a limb here and assume that this day-one DLC will either be free, or not all too important to the game overall...or maybe even both. Calling them sloppy for trying to get the best sells while providing us with some extra content is ignorant.

Come on, man! Be more cynical! This is the internet!

But...Conan O'Brien told me not to be cynical!

Thank you! It's amazing how much people freak out even though they have no information.

Agreed with Brian. If BFBC2 is half the game its multiplayer demo is, I'll gladly support EA and DICE at release, and people bitching about things they don't even yet have info on is part of what's wrong with the world today...too many knee-jerk reactionists out there.

I know, right! Since it'll totally cost like 50 dollars!

It's going to be free, like EA's other games. Grow up and get over it.

I'm sorry, I really can't understand why anyone would continue to play MW2 over this...I'm not trying to be an ass, but honestly...it's unbalanced, the spawn-points are terrible, the community is incredibally bad, and the exploitations like boosting is unbearable. This is coming from a guy who thinks Call Of Duty 4 was the best shooter this generation...so far.

Well, 3 out of 4 of your complaints are your opinion. The only one that is really fact is the boosting. However, I usually just play TDM only and with friends, so boosting is pretty much non-existent there.

Yes, the glitches (Javelin, Care Package, etc) have been annoying, but they are fixing them.

I suppose you're right. Good conversation, we must do it again some time.

Well, Matt, I'd say they are more fact than opinion.

It IS unbalanced. Killstreak rewards see to that. I've always said that the reward for doing well is doing well, not getting a super weapon that helps you get farther ahead.

Spawn points are crap. There's no reason that I should be spawning underneath a Pavelow three times in a row while it is just floating there, mowing down the entire team multiple times. It happens a lot, especially on Favela.

Community? Eh, it's the Xbox Live community; Jerks, competitive players, whiners, screamers, racists, bigots, casual players. It's a mix of everyone.

Boosting is the fault of Infinity Ward. I don't understand why there is so much area around the map that is essentially useless to anyone who isn't boosting. Maps should be enclosed and each area should have a specific purpose. If a part of the map can be avoided completely and not change how the game plays, it should be removed.

I play MW2, it's fun with friends, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't get frustrated with it a lot.

hehe. lies like that are so patently false i have to call you out on it.

I heard about it here: http://www.reddit.com/r/gaming/comments/azpgm/bad_company_2_for_the_pc_is_only_1995_to_preorder/

I ordered it that night and it sold out yesterday during the day some time.

Questions?

Using Gamefly to play the game doesn't bring the developers any more cash than a game that is bought used. Developers are not going to work towards making things easier/cheaper for people who use methods to play their game that doesn't provide them with any income.

If you're buying new, developers like you
If you buy used or rent, developers need something to actually make money on your playing of their game.

You're right. DLC was the only thing anyone has ever had to complain about MW2.

People whined about DLC for MW2? Hell, I'd take some damn campaign DLC if it made the story make sense!

People complained about bullsh1t 'timed exclusive' DLC.

I thought people complained about the game sucking...

It's not the people here that hate the used game business, It's the people in the industry that don't like the used game business. It hurts their profit.

Most of the people here love it because they can be cheap and complain about paying for anything. Like DLC.
