The lights are on
For the week ending March 6th, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 debuted at the top of the UK sales charts. It's great news for EA and DICE, becoming not only the fastest-selling game of 2010, but it's also besting the original Bad Company's release 3-to-1. We've been loving it around the office for the last week, and apparently we're not the only ones. How about you shooter fans? Have you stepped onto the online battlefield yet, or are you still working on that next prestige level in Modern Warfare 2?

Woo never been the first... But omg love this game everyone should get it
I just bought BC2 today and so far I am liking it much more than BC1.
Hopefully this can keep me occupied for a while.
this game is great if only it didn't take so long to get it to a game. i had to wait for ten minuets yesterday to get into a game.
you had to wait to get into a game? i never have to wait even 5 seconds...normally I get the "searching for games" to flash really quickly, then a "joining game" shortly after. I have yet to wait more than 5 seconds
Well I have to say if you look at screens from Bad Company 2 and Modern Warfare 2, Bad Company 2 just have a cooler and better vibe in the way its presented. MW2 was just a place holder untill BC2 got here.

My thoughts exactly!!
Bad Company 2 is one of the best multiplayer experiences I have ever had. Love it.
The gameplay is ok (when you get the chance). Playing with your friends has never been so difficult.
Still working on prestige haha. Tuesday is when I'm going to buy this game.
It's amazing.
I have only 2 more acheivments to go - get to level 22 ( im at 19 with 24 hours of play online ) and get 20 demolish kills online ( I think im at 3 ) - but yeah this game is awesome they just need to fix the server issues and theirs a glitch where you dont need every m com station in campain the acheivment unlocks when you have all but 2 happened to me and my friend and it seems like it can be any 2.
It would also be nice if you could have whatever perks you wanted and for them not to be assigned to a slot for example vehicle perks can only be put in slot 3 I should be allowed 1 in slot 1 ,2 and 3 if I want to.
But besides thoes minor flaws the game is great.
Oh and the environment isn't 100% perscent destructable I understand why but would be nice.
This game owns Modern Campfare Hackfest2 period
Did you know that apparently it's sold more already than what BF2 did in 5 years. Or has more current users.
Cool.
Congrats to the team behind Bad Company 2 for making a good game.
The PC has the most players of BFBC2 than an other platform! The PC community has spoken. MW2 is not cool on the PC.
I really enjoy this game and greatly look forward to BF3.
BC2 is just so much more fun then Mw2 is so many ways it'd take a massive wall of text to go through, so massive it would crit for over 90k.
Airkill w/ Blackhawk = WIN > All of MW2
Seriously though, BFBC2 is so underated by the critics it's making me lose what trust I had left in critics (lost my movie trust quite some time ago) Luckily GI did give BC2 a grade it deserved but so many others subtracted huge points for the stupidest crap imaginable (SP, when its an MP game....)
BC2 FTW.
@Tranzice you were getting in within 5 seconds lucky you. i have had know problem getting in today.
I LOVE THIS GAME!
