Booooo make them play harder. Stop trying to hide the fact that the PC is still the largest platform.
Or give PC more stuff for new years, too.

Exactly! This just proves that Xbox 360 and PS3 players are jackasses!

Also the PC version came out 3 (Im pretty sure it was 3 might have been 2 or 1 but it definetly came out early) days early?
If this proves anything its that theres more players on the Xbox than PS3, i'm not trying to say PS3 is worse i'm just stating that based on the stats.

@DigitalFortress PC had three day head start! Even though every time they checked the Battle for Hastings page it said at the top they started counting on the 22 of December. It was suposed to be 21st but they waited b/c PS3 had problems. Nobody got a head start.
PC has hacks! Not nearly as much as they tried to make it out to be and a hackers aimbot kills doesn't do beep all to 69 million teamwork points. If anything it's a nuisance.
PC was boosting! Looking into the server browser you can't find one single boosting server, maybe a knife server. But at the end of the day those don't do a dent on the score.
PC has more ticket per game and 8 more players! More tickets means longer games, so one 500 ticket game vs two 250 ticket games. 8 more players in one server makes 8 people less in another server.
PC Gamers have no life, girl friend, blah! Funny because PS3 and XBOX 360 have more total hours played in the game then PC.
Why should the consoles benefit from the PC's dedication to this challenge? They should be made to wait until THEY pass the same trigger point! Oh, I forgot, can't have the consoles NOT getting anything before the PC! That just wouldn't fly would it or is that me just being cynical?

@IncaRhodes I don't think the PC is the largest platform, but it defiantly has more players in BC2 then consoles do.

I remember seeing posts on many forums from PC players gloating and Console players getting all defensive about their play style. I can't wait to hear all the complaining.

Kinda mad that hardly anyone has a mic on the ps3, had to switch it out for the 360 copy

You are right, any ol' bluetooth mic will work on PS3. Lots of people have mics, it's just that...we don't use them. Not really any other explanation. Just cuz.

Yeah, but Xbox consoles come bundled with a mic, whereas PS3 doesnt. Hence the disparity.

Sadly, I have to agree with you on that. As of lately though I have a lot of local friends who wanna chat via bluetooth and I'm noticing the emptiness more than ever.

It's even harder to play when your team is collectively so bad (mics or not), that they can't even hold a single flag point on Conquest. Which is why people shouldn't make the game out either to be the saviour of current gen FPS games...at times it is just as frustrating an experience as Black Ops.

@kentuckyfried Well that's because of the players, not the game.

PC got there first b/c they have nothing else to play for FPS, with black ops being broken and all on that platform. But thanks indirectly, saves us console owners the trouble of waiting for those 69 million team actions on 360 and ps3 platforms each.

@kentuckyfried plus PC users got the expansion first. A few days before the consoles I believe.

People on the PC had been playing for less hours and the stats didn't start counting towards the unlock until all the platforms had it.

I have yet to play the game. But I did finish the first Bad Company. I'll probably get it soon. The Gold Edition is retailing for only $30.
Are the same people from the first game's story in this game? Or is it an all-new 'cast'?

i actually thought the second one was funnier, just because of my style of humor. the first was a little "silly" for my taste.

Same character. although IMO the single player is pretty bad, i haven't finished it and I have about 200 hours in multiplayer.

There were issues taking it on live. The tracking page showed 3 different peak numbers on 3 separate days. Probably just a lot easier for them to unlock them. I don't care either way, 330hrs and still going.

I play on Xbox and it's soooo frustrating when no one on my team spots enemies and I'm forced to play Assault class simply because no friggin assault players will drop an ammo box. Like seriously how hard is it to drop ammo?!
But when I do find, by miracle, a squad/team that does both of the above it's very hard to quit playing.

I think everyone on 360 and PS3 are too busy playing Black Ops. I know I'm tired of Battlefield and won't support them anymore after all their "DLC" map packs for the past year that were already on the disc. Thanks a lot for letting me play with all the content a year after the game came out, you guys are great!

Console gamers aren't team players. I know, I know, you're going to come and say "Me and my buddies play like that". Yeah, okay. So do I. But it isn't common. People are lazy with consoles. They want to turn it on, go and shoot some people, turn it off, and then take a nap. It's why CoD is as popular as it is. It's totally streamlined the process of killing people with as little effort as possible on the end user while giving a quasi-realistic presentation.
