Today DICE finally cleared up the uncertainty about the Battlefield: Bad Company 2's PC beta. It's set to begin at the end of the month.
Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.
I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.
wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.
Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.
Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!
EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."
This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.
Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game
this is great to hear, I've been wanting to play a Battlefield game on PC but BF2 seemed too daunting.
I just hope they keep their word about a "open PC Beta". That means, no keys needed. The article sure didn't look that way. I'm not going to fight for a beta I potentially might not like.
They should have just updated 1943 using the NEWEST Bad Company 2 engine. That way you can test the engine and test the server load PLUS you can charge $10 for it and offer basic support and admit that.
Just make it steam exclusive and then give a $5 discount on pre-ordering Bad Company 2.
Now don't tell me that isn't a worthwhile thing on EA's side to test the market for pure awsome. After the awsome recession of ODST followed shortly by the recession famine of MW2.
By the way I'm a great big fan of MW2 and I adore Halo 3 online but they are pretty generic.
I played the PS3 beta extensively.
Great game.
It's an INFINITY better than Modern WARDfare 2.
This is great news!
