Since UC is basically BCM(G), there really isn't much difference as
far as gameplay. So, if you are looking for something better than BCM
(gameplay-wise) UC is just more of the same.
If you have a high-end system ( 2.0ghz, 512 DDR, high-end vid-card or
above specs), graphically UC is improved over BCM(G). The first-person
ground ops are overhauled, you get to fly/drive/steal a bunch of
ground vehicles/fighters, it's easier to control marines in ground
engagments, and there are alot less bugs/CTDs and the like.
So, yeah. With a system that can run it, UC is an improvement over
BCM(G). Multiplayer is still quirky as hell, but it's getting better.
If you have a mid-range system ( below 2.0ghz) and you already own
BCM(G), then I wouldn't bother with UC, as it's just BC is a flashy
package anywayz.
