Battlefield: Bad Company - not on PC

[jimmysmitty]

In my opinion I think the reason why EA went with console is because the hardware is factory. What I mean is that everyone of us on this chat room has a different type of PC, (ie graphic, processor) with all different parts. This is one of the main reason why BF2/2142 was so hard to play on people PC's crashes, glitches and a whole mess of other problems (Guilty). However, PS3 and XBOX360 is the same hardware no matter who owns it. Unless you know how to upgrade your console!!LOL

Actually this is not true. All games have to be coded for GPU wise is the API which is DirectX9/10. And everyone has at least DX9 since everyone has Windows Xp normally and all new GPUs support up to DX10 at least. The CPU compatability is based on x86 code. So due to that its the same if you have a AMD or Intel CPU and the same if you have a nVidia or ATI GPU. The reason for the crashes was more than likely horrible game engine optimizations.

As for consoles, it is vastly harder to code for the PS3 than it is for a PC or X360. Cell is a new type of processor that does not run x86 code. Hence why VALVe let EA port the Orange Box to PS3. They don't like the PS3 at VALVe.

COD 3 was done by a different developer than 2 and 4 and was weak because of it. I think your logic is flawed. Calling console players 'less educated' is pretty assinine. Console players have to walk into the game store and decide what to spend their money on just like pc players. If anything, console players have to be more discerning because there are so many more choices- although they do have the option of selling games back or renting before you buy a questionable titles. If sales accurately reflect where PC developers should spend their resources, then developers should all go work for Blizzard on WoW expansions or recolorize Bejeweled. That's what the "more educated" PC gamer is voting on with his/her dollars.

Blizzard is keeping the dream alive. The funny thing about Diablo is it's almost perfectly designed for console use. Assuming D3 follows the mold of D1 and D2, Blizzard is literally throwing away an invitation to print money to prove their love for you.

Hey don't forget VALVe. VALVe is one of the largest driving forces in PC gaming. So many games use Source and most of the best mods are Source based as well.

As for why they wont release it for PCs.... well thats sheere stupidity really. the whole BF series started on PC and its sad to see them move even one game to console only. Man EA has really dropped the ball.

I agree that EA is giving pc's bf heroes instead of bad company, but wth. Bad Company seems like a funny, entertaining romp.

Goes to show what loyality will get you. PC owners can enjoy in-game Pepsi ads instead of destructable environments and an original take on the single player shooter cliche.

Thanks EA!

Amen God Damn It. I've been playing Battlefield since the first original installement that probably only a select few know... Battlefield 1942... I was bombing those creep Nazis in those WW2 Bombers...Boy was that the shiiiiiittt...
Anyways I'm sure we all agree... EA is either up to something or very stupid to be producing the perfect BF will all the aspects and elements we were waiting for, just 2 go dump it on a console... OK PEOPLE.. I use to play console when I was 5 years old. I don't know about you but about around 9 years old those things were way 2 limited for it 2 be any fun or of any use.

Now I've got myself a damn General Rank=55 in BF 2142 and I played countless hours in BF Vietnam...
Overkilled BF 1942, secret weapons, road to rome and the 3rd expansion which I cared a lot less for.
Now would somebody please explain to me why they choose to implant the Crysis type's of gameplay into a console version of the Best Game on Earth >>?>?.... This question can only be anwsered by EA.....

Hey EA...
If your going to release BF : Bad Company on consoles *(pluaaarrrrkk) only...

]Ok so i couldn't wait till Battlefield: Bad Company came out, then when i found out that it wasnt goin to be on pc i was totally ticked off. And now to find out the Bad Company 2 will be on pc makes it a little better, but i kinda wanna start off at the beginning with 1 and not start off getting to paly with 2. I am going to get it when it come out and i cant wait..But the one that i am so anxious about is Modern Warfare 2, the first kicked butt and i expect the 2 to do the same as well if not be better

i totally agree with you when anyone makes a game it needs to be available on ALL consoles, they dont need to pick and choose...

All i can say is PC GAMERS ALL THE WAY..SUIT UP SOLDIERS ITS TIME FOR OUR TOUR OF DUTY

I guess alot of ppl,, forgot .....
about all the hacks an glitches that were in most of the BF games Gerns for PC .....

like bunnie hopping ...
( jumping muilti-able times going crouch / prone / jump with out taking a hit )

C,4 chucking ...
( throwing c4 an jumping lighting it an not taking a shot to the face by another for doing so )

neon skins ...
( able to view enemy behind walls threw buildings )

auto Aim bot ...
( always aim weapon at face or foot for 1 shot kill )

knifeing threw walls ...
( foot or leg of enemy is expose threw the wall while enemy is crouch / prone )

Hidding in walls or objects ...
( same as bunnie hopping but against a wall or object )

clear map ...
( a way to improve game play vision to clean a map with no dust / snow / fog / rain )

Stat--padding
or
Transport chopper stat point spamming ...
( get 2 or 3 engi... as repair the transport / 1-2 medic to heal all / 1 ammo-guy to resupply /
1 good flyer to void most incomming missile damage )

I could go on - an - on - an - on & list more - an - more BS..... with all the BF 1942-bf2-2142
**Coff - Coff .. COD1-2-3-4-ect.. / MOHA / CS- / TF1-2 / Cryis / Quake / URT /
((( most of all FPS games for PC .....)))

I guess thats why most developers went Console in stead of PC
because of the ($$ money $$) + Hacks & Glitches on the PC that ppl.. used an did do
to better ther Stats / Ranks / unlocks .. ect .. "" for what ever reason ""
with console you eliminate most glitches an hack to have an even playing feild
an better game exp...
sure alot of the PC comunity Whinne an Cried about the exploite ....
an alot of people Blame EA... an not the Developer DICE ( ??? Hmmmm ??? )
the way I see it is EA just put there name on the package
to better there sale's at retail stores that up ther stock price on the stock market ..
+Plus+ EA pays ppl... for the 5 - 4 star good reviews of the games that are comming out ....
so that kiddie's want to go an buy them
