"We couldn't be more thrilled to hear that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is already in the hands of almost 2½ million gamers, and it hasn't even shipped yet." That statement from Patrick Bach, Senior Producer on EA and DICE's eagerly awaited shooter, is doubly impressive when you realize that he's not talking about the PC version -- he's talking about the demo that was recently shared with Xbox Live and PlayStation Network users.
Having reached over two million downloads within a span of five days, the Bad Company 2 teaser is "on pace to become the fastest downloaded demo in EA history," at least according to the Big Company behind it. With the PC beta netting "hundreds of thousands" of sign-ups too, it seems the overt confidence isn't misplaced. But come March 2nd, will all those downloads translate to an impressive, post-Modern impact?
If there's one thing uglier than the console wars, it's the console war game ... wars.

I did not feel it like I did not feel the first. I guess it's strictly single player for me : (
Sucks because I need a better game to play over MW2's annoying unbalanced Ultra unrealistic ass.

I cannot wait for this game. I've logged way too many hours to count in the Battlefield series since the beginning and I've been loving the XBOX demo hard. I'm still debating whether to get the PC version or the 360 version. I generally don't like FPSs on the 360 but I've been digging the demo...I guess since I boycotted MW2 on the PC I should get BC2 for the PC. I'm sure it'll have better graphics anyway.
