So everyone here better get this for PC (if you are getting it at all). Right now you can pre-order the limited edition with all the extra stuff it has for the price of the regular game on release- and I think at least one of the guns you get is exclusive to the preorder only. Probably gonna do that with Xmas money or just get it as a gift.

Classes:
Wikipedia Page
 
Multiplayer will allow players to choose from a set of weapon kits before each spawn, the number of which has been further reduced from Bad Company's five down to four: "Assault," "Engineer," "Recon," and "Medic," removing the "Specialist" kit, whose compact assault rifle and C4 abilities have been split between the "Engineer" and "Recon" classes, respectively.

A customizable weapon selection menu is also new to the Bad Company series (similar to unlocks in Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142), giving players the choice of different ACOGs or reflex sights, including short or long barrel grenade launchers; these are also chosen before each match.

Each match will give players experience points, allowing them to level to multiple ranks as they did in the previous series. Experience points will be gained by each opponent killed and destroying the respective objectives. The points gained will be displayed in the screen.

Oh dammit. Now I need a better computer.

Also: how do the classes work for this? Am I limited to just the four weapon load outs?

4 squad combat, first to 50 kills

That seems like a fucking awesome mode to play.

So I've played the beta some and its crazy laggy for me... but it seems pretty solid battlefield. Ryan and Daniel seem to like it (and they don't get lag at all, probably because they are fags).

Okay so people in the game informed me that its because my drivers haven't been optimized for the game yet, thanks nvidia. In any case, I can run it just fine on low at 1920x1080. Anyways, its super fun now- same old addictive battlefield style.

edit: and we are in it because we preordered the game already

double edit: my ram, which is rated to 1066, was put at 400mhz by my fucking retarded motherboard- I'm pretty sure the game will run great now

Dr. Pepper codes for Battlefield Gear.

Spore, Mass Effect 2, and the other games are live now, but apparently you have to wait till the first of March to actually redeem them for BC2 stuff.

Daniel said the game is even better looking when you aren't on a snow map. ALSO, he told me that if you go to veteran.battlefield.com and put in your CURRENT account to log in, you can then add an older account to your current one and get a M1 Garand. Luckily my old battlefield 2142 account information was in the depths of my email and I found my account name for BF2 on the shack.

Also, apparently if you played battlefield 1943 you get a tommy gun, it seemed pretty decent when people were killing me with it in the beta.

Yeah, it's hella better than the beta. It looks amazing graphics-wise and gameplay is crazy intense.

And you can get the Thompson gun just by reaching lvl 11. It's not BF 1943 specific or anything. Anyone can get it. The M1 is the only gun linked to the veteran thing. STOP LYING TO THE PEOPLE, JOHN.

(and before you freak out, John, you'll get the tommy gun immediately, because you pre-ordered the game)

So whenever I close the game there is another copy still running somehow... I'm not sure if its always running in the background when I play or what but I think this might be related to my crashing problem.

Pyro, that was because John's dumb ass kept crashing so he was like fine I'll just restart. Needless to say it didn't work so he crashed probably 20 times tonight. What a gay.
