Who plays battle hack anyway? Wouldn't put it on my kids machine, even though kids are the only ones playing it anymore. Used to hop on bf1942 servers just to kamikaze my planes.

What a great post.

I wish bf3 premium for xbox was cheaper. Its always $40 ..... : /

Quote from RyneP : I'd recommend BC2 + BC2 Vietnam over BF3 any day. BF3's extremely groggy in-game, not to mention having to deal with Origin and the web browser is a complete pain in the ass. The only thing it has on BC2 are jets, so unless that's a selling point for you I'd recommend the predecessor over it completely.

And besides, in BC2 you can still fly helicopters. Or in my case, fly helicopters backwards and crash them into the ground.

Anyway, for people wondering if BC2 is any good or not, just a reminder not to mix up BF2 with BC2. BF2 has old graphics.

I'm out of the loop, I've never played anything on Steam or Origin yet. Do people with the DVD, Steam, or Origin access the same servers as one another? Do people still play the bonus content and add-ons enough to make the extra content worth it over the main game (BF3)? My nephew wants me to get in on some of this but I'm embarassed to ask him my noobile questions : ]

Not sure if I can take advantage of this deal or not since my machine is still about 2-3 weeks from being put together.

Ok so Steam and Origins are like stores that sell games and allow you to access them. You have an account on something like Steam and basically you use that account to play games. Battlefield 3 is not on Steam, it REQUIRES Origin to play. So basically regardless of where you buy BF3 for the PC, you will all play together.

As for the add-ons, I actually only have the main game. I think people either play the original game or the newest add-ons. I have heard some of the earlier add-ons no one plays. I have the first add-on actually, the Karkand one. I didn't see many servers.

I bought the game the first day it came out and it was worth $60 for the original game, I would say the game+dlc is easily worth the $35. Good luck on the new computer! You can purchase it now and install it later.

How is the BC2 community? I want to buy the game but no point if the game is dying.

Quote from Evilsquash : I LOVE hacking that game and trolling people! LOL!!

Bull.
I bet you have to have someone turn your computer on for ya.

It really is a very active online community still. There are tons of servers and many of them stay full most of the time.
The game is well worth whatever it is on sale for.
I bought it at $19.99 long ago, then bought BF3 and stayed with BC2 because it's better, to me. I play both now, but more BC2.

That's BFBC2, not BF2.

Also, the Vietnam add-on is good, but that isn't anywhere near as popular anymore. Most servers stay empty. But for $5 it's worth it even if just for the few servers that stay busy.

I need to qualify the above: I play on Steam, I don't know if playing through Origin means different servers, or what. I'm not a big gamer.

Quote from dopalgangr : Says I need to remove BF3 limited edition (has is added automatically) in order to buy premium edition. But it doesnt allow me to remove the limited edition. Anyone else running into this?

I bought limited edition, preorder, and when I bought Premium edition ($29.99) I only installed the key for the DLC add-ons. Not the main game. So I had no problems.

I also have an extra key for the main game.

I completely agree with this. I have both and have tried hard to like BF3 but I still spend more time on BFBC2.

If they came out today, knowing what I know about both, I would pay $60 for BFBC2 over paying $30 for BF3.

Did you guys see this deal: BF3 Premium service (base game not included) for $18.98

Quote from Highlife26 : I'm debating purchasing the BF3 Premium DLC for $30 but is it worth it? Can anyone who currently plays the Premium stuff comment? Just trying to decide if the additional maps and gear are worth $30.

The Premium DLC is $18.98 at GamersGate:
