Aww darn. It's for PC, right? I was hoping it would fix my constant "Disconnected From Game" problem on my PS3.

Oh well, hopefully it'll come eventually.

I Play Games5550d ago

X360 is pretty good right now. Occasionally I get kicked, but a hundred times better than when it launched.

mrv3215550d ago

Just wish they'd fix a couple minor problems like the smoke, seriously there's NO POINT IN IT!

Rucury5550d ago

We have smoke launchers?

=O

mrv3215550d ago

Yeah, for the assault rifle. They litrally go away in 2 seconds and as pount as large a the bradley, ineffective at the best of times. USELESS ALL the time.

SixZeroFour5550d ago

the smoke grenades are useful when charging or disarming an mcomm so the snipers protecting it cant pick you or your teammates off as well as they normally can, also, its good if you plan to run to another area and you have to cross a big open field

smoke for the vehicles prevent mortar lock on as well as tracer lock ons

so yea, the smoke grenades are useful a bit...but i still dont use it (maybe only when i try for the all bronze insignia)

TheIneffableBob5550d ago

???

Smoke grenades are awesome! They're extremely useful when trying to set the charge and I've gotten tons of kills with smokes.

I want to see a nerf to the M60 which is OP like crazy... and if you guys think there is some nube tubing in MW2 you haven't seen noob tubing until you've been blasted by a Gustav in BBC2 from yards yards away.....Autobalance fix would be nice... also add this...

1. STOP HACKERS...ruining the game
2. Protect the main bases

TheBand1t5550d ago

Gustav sucks for anything but killing infantry, helis and jeeps. It's garbo against tanks.

mrv3215550d ago

The M60 is fairly overpowered, early today I jumped behind 4 guys with a simple spray I killed all 4 of them.

The Gustav isn't as much of a problem.

Rucury5550d ago

I can third the M60 as overpowered.

I unlocked it a couple of hours ago and have never been better score-wise and kill-wise. Use it with the Light Machine Gun Marksman specialty and 4x Scopes (ACOG) and you can freaking snipe.

In all fairness, I wouldn't use it under normal circumstances, but I was once that recon solider looking through his scopes... and then I fell as an M60 sprayed me from across the map.

Pay back time.

FragGen5549d ago

The M60 must be a PC thing. I see no problem with it on the PS3. I don't use it but I don't get killed by it a lot either so it's not OP like the MAG LMGs or anything.

The Gustav is an anti-infantry device, IIRC, so it makes sense that you can kill people with it and it's not fantastic against armor. Again, I don't see a zillion people running around noob tubing with the Gustav on the PS3.

I still find snipers to be the most annoying thing in the game. Which is sort of the way it should be. Snipers are a PITA in real military ops.

Gish5550d ago

It's funny, when I first started playing the game I felt like the knife melee was slow, then I realized that I was just used to the hyper speed of MW2 knifing.

Pandamobile5550d ago

I hate the COD-style melee attacks.

I wish you had to equip your knife before using it (ala BF 1942-2142).

mrv3215550d ago

That was true in Bad-Company 1 and it doesn't feel quite so satisfying as it does now.

20 Amazing Games That Have Completely Disappeared From Storefronts

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.

TheEnigma313479d ago

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC479d ago (Edited 479d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga479d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics479d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend478d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long479d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons479d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor479d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52478d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602478d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv72479d ago

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.

Skuletor479d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B478d ago (Edited 478d ago )

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.

EA’s best multiplayer games have now shut down for good

OtterX553d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled553d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa553d ago

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.

Inverno552d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac552d ago (Edited 552d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast552d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial552d ago

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!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

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."

darthv72817d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel817d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon816d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim816d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai817d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341817d ago (Edited 817d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai817d ago (Edited 817d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341817d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313817d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald816d ago (Edited 816d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra816d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai816d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra816d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade816d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra816d ago (Edited 816d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno817d ago

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.

badz149817d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop816d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb816d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole817d ago

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

SonyStyled817d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
