Bad Company 2 has hit number 1 on steam sales this week. What do you guys think about that and which version are you looking at buying? Article on the this here.

Looking good, I'm totally pre-ordering the special edition.

I went with the Gamestop online pre-order for the sake of the extra weapon unlock. But if it wasn't for the ability to assign the CD-Key to my EADM account so I can download the game whenever, then I would have gone with the Steam version.

I bought bf 2142 off EADM and had some wierd issues with downloading and applying patches, so I went with Steam this time.
 
I wonder if bfbc2 will have steam achievements, that would be sweet.

I`m getting for 360. But I want to get the Beta for my PC though.

So they do have a weapon for the special addition? Like BC1? Ok I'm sold. "

I didn't even know Bad Company 2 was coming out on the PC. I figured this would be EA's "console Battlefield" series. Nonetheless, I'll be getting the 360 version.

What a convenient place to find news! I think I like this Scorephoria website.

Here are the pre-order bonuses...
 
 

Limited Edition

Improved Vehicle Armor: An up-armor package is mounted on all vehicle types, decreasing the effect of both explosive and penetrating warheads, significantly improving vehicle survivability.

Supreme Vehicle Firepower: Additional weapon packages are mounted for the driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expanding the range of targets the vehicle can successfully engage and destroy.

Vehicle Motion Sensor: Use this electronics warfare package to locate enemy units in direct proximity to the vehicle.

Tracer Dart Pistol: This magnetic dart attaches to any vehicle surface, allowing squad members to track, lock on, and fire rockets onto moving targets even beyond line of sight.

M1A1 Sub-machine Gun: Reliable but heavy this classic weapon is a powerful force in the hands of any Battlefield veteran.

M1911 Pistol: Highly customized M1911 are favoured for its dependability and the power of its large .45 caliber round.

It's just an early unlock of the engineer's AK-74u. Everybody will unlock it eventually. "

I think it's the AKS some number, not the AK-74u. But, I could be wrong. "

It's great that it hit #1on steam. Want a lot of players to enjoy this bad company 2. I'm really looking forward to it! I'll be getting the biggest badest version there is. Which is the special edition i guess....

Yeah, I would guess they would include achievements. But can anyone confirm this? "

Since it took so long for them to even announce whether or not it would come out on Steam, I would guess not. The game itself might have them built in and you'd view them similar to the way you view multiplayer accolades (ie pins, insignias, unlocks, etc...). The fact that Steam is a competitor of EADM is my reasoning behind this. However I hope I'm wrong and Steam does have them. Rather, I wish EA had an achievement system globally between its games that GB could integrate into the site. Or that Steam buys/merges with EADM. "

Actually it's the AKS-74... but it's not like that's a world of difference.

   I almost just cancelled my GS pre-order for a Steam one since the beta key didn't arrive today like promised, but the GS page changed the date from 26th to 27th earlier while I was sleeping. So I suppose they still have a chance to send the info before it's too late. I'm so impatient. "

Really? That's it?..... oh well it's not like I'm not gonna buy the special addition anyways... "
