Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition leaked by retailers

by Richard Mitchell on Aug 12th 2010 11:33AM

Anyone waiting for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 to get the "Game of the Year" treatment may hit pay dirt soon enough. The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Ultimate Edition has been spotted on a couple of retail sites -- ShopTo.Net in the UK and Amazon in the US. The game appears to contain all the downloadable content released thus far, including all the VIP content, the limited edition unlocks and the four-player Onslaught Mode, as well as DICE's online-only XBLA and PSN game, Battlefield 1943.

Amazon has PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions listed at $59.99 for August 31st. It's worth noting that Onslaught is actually the only pay-for DLC ($10) included on the Ultimate Edition. The VIP content normally comes free with new copies of the standard edition, and the Limited Edition bonuses -- apart from the two weapons from 1943 -- can be unlocked the old-fashioned way (by playing the game!). Since the older version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 retails for $40 or less, it becomes a question of whether you want the included Battlefield 1943 with an effective discount of $5 (its regular price is $15).

We've contacted EA and will update this post if we receive any official details on the Ultimate Edition.

[Thanks, Eric]

Let's hope they fix the damn Onslaught mode by then. What a wasted 800 MSP

@Mr Thur I just picked it up but I packed it up because I'm getting ready to move. What is wrong with it?

@MarkHawk The problem is the blank bullets.. you can unload your weapon on one single enemy and the guy doesn't get killed.. you have to leave the match, search for another one and hope that this new one you have actual bullets. I tried to play this mode a few weeks back and this bug still happened.

@Mr Thur I never had that problem at all. Even when beating the hardcore modes I fire one shot from an M1 or M14 and practically double kills all the time. The enemies just pile up in front of you. So I don't know what you're talking about.

@Mr Thur

I've play a good two dozen rounds of onslaught... never heard of this glitch :s

Did you experience it on ps3 or 360?

@arrrgh Played it on 360, but apparently it's a 'global' bug: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/976199.page

they should of waited and included the Vietnam expansion then I would of seriously considered this, since I don't have this particular shooter yet. oh well I'll get it eventually somehow.

@ansalon929 That will be included in the Super Ultra Deluxe Edition.

*Kung-Fu Grip not included.

@ansalon929
Vietnam expansion is probably going to be full price.

@ansalon929

Its worth getting without any add-ons. Lots and lots of map variety, and tons of weapons. Game is awesome. I've put more hours into this game then any other online shooter ive ever played besides maybe the original Unreal/Unreal Tournament --> but I used to develop for that one so i'm not sure if it counts.

I'd be willing to pick this up at $30

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze Someone will run it on sale for $30-$40 soon enough. I'm not worried.

@Ezio Auditore da Firenze

Same. 60 is ridiculous. I'll pay 20, maybe 30 for this. I've been waiting to get BC2 until the price dropped pretty significantly. Bought the first one for 10 bucks. :)

Makes me want to pick up the game again....

well damn...if I didnt already have any of that it would be a pretty good deal....

but dont they think that may cut into MoH potential sales?

@Chris DPSN AggieCEO XBLThe Aggi

Yeah I really don't get why DICE would publish a game against their own game...

@Chris DPSN AggieCEO XBLThe Aggi

Hey, Chris. Thought I'd attach this to an older post since it's way off topic. I remember some time ago that you we were talking about Star Wars on BR. (At least I think it was you I was commenting with on here?) Check this out...

@Uncle Jesse yea I did....thanks man!!!!

"VIP Downloads"

Good one!

I'll wait to see if Vietnam is any good, then I might buy the game again. Got bored of all those fake map packs. Great game, it just didn't click with me like the first did.

@RadiantViper
I've gone back to playing the first one. It's so much better, with HUGE maps, and no MW noobs who don't understand teamwork.

@Osnaz the 1st one was probably my favorite multiplayer shooter ever. it just felt "right." everything from the visuals to the maps to the guns. i would have been happy if they just released some more map packs for bc1.

I'm so glad I waited now.

@Fminus Negativity To The Rescue I'm having a chicken burrito at Chipotle!

@Fminus Negativity To The Rescue

Turkey sub from Subway.

Not bad for anyone who hasn't picked it up.

This should also mean that there will be more people who can use the M1 Garand (the third WW2-Gun on BC2 by the way...) through this, then, since BF1943 counts towards the Veterans-Promotion needed for the said WW2-Weapon.

@Fminus Negativity To The Rescue

V8 Fusion....I get my serving of fruits AND vegetables and I feel energized....

good thing I was so wrapped up in MW2 - now I can get this + it comes with 1943 = thats awesome
and yes I am aware my comment is a math problem

Was the Limited Edition ever limited at one point?

Needs new maps not new game modes. I've been so spoiled by free TF2 (PC) updates that this game seems very stagnant

@C1
Behold the legendary quadruple post that defies time!

@Killface was here
lol

Hmmm I may get this for the 360 since I have the pc gaming master race version already. Although a couple of friends have this game on the xbox only along with onslought and bf1943, so I can play that with my xbros. But 60 dollars idk... I only payed 30 bucks for the limited edition on pc last month. I might get it if it's on sale for 40 since it includes the arcade game too... BTW can't wait for Vietnam expansion! :D

tl;dr
Getting this to play on 360 again eventually.

@Chris DPSN AggieCEO XBLThe Aggi

Yaaaaaaawn.

=P

Good luck with Battlefield 1943 for anyone who picks it up (whether it be in this or downloading it off of Xbox Live). That game hasn't worked well online for the past 6 months. After they shut down a good chunk of the games online servers, we're left with a game that's so laggy, it's damn near unplayable - that is if you even can get online! Sometimes it can be extremely extended periods of time before you can even find a match!

@Axcalibur This guy is completely correct! Bad Company 2 ruined Battlefield 1943, to the point where I want my money back from a game that's no longer playable.

So... those Limited Edition Unlocks weren't so limited.

I just got this 2 weeks ago for 40$ on xbox in Gamestop power sale. It's a really fun game and i managed to get the 4 dr.pepper customes for free, just messagin ea with the 4 universal codes hehe.

@pButter
Man i hate those Dr. Pepper costumes. Anyone who says that they have the same stats as the normal weapons is full of it. I almost never get killed by a normal M16A2 but the M16A2 SA shreds me all the time...

@(Unverified)

Oh and I'm a ps3 player so they actually cost money for us.

Will it also include local multiplayer? Because otherwise I'm not interested.

Fastest Game of the Year edition yet.

If there's anything I'm starting to learn by things like this...its that waiting pays off. I think I'm going to order less games "right away" from here on out.

Only worth it if it's on the disc content.. if it's just a download code.. what a waste.

I never understood why those buying the game first give Dice the initial income (60USD) then we have to buy the onslaught which is 10 bucks...Then they come out with DLC that is already on the disc you bought...only to come out with an Ultimate edition with everything for the same price less than 6 months down the road. Screw DICE for screwing their real fans, We have to spend 70+ while others spend 60.
