As someone who never pays for more then I have to, I welcome our new f2p overlords

Thank G-D someone with a brain!

I play a few F2P games right now, it all matters the transaction price, nickle and diming isn't what it is if you know how to do things in moderation. I play League of Legends, probably have almost 30 hours of gameplay in, and I decided to buy a completely aesthetic costume (thats the only thing they charge money for) for like $8. I have 4 friends who have played for probably $70 hours and never spent a dime.

I seen that today. I have all versions of it and get kicked from 80% of the servers any way.
Says I'm team killing and hi pings. I like the game , but load times have always sucked too.
I'm probably gonna start playing more BFBC2 next week. I get my new card Tuesday. Still
looking for any feedback on people running BFBC2 on a 6870.

 

[Radical_Edward]

Bout to start up some BC2 here if anyone wants to hop on teamspeak and play.

I know. How dare they want money for work. They are like those coder dudes who give us tons of free, useful software through sourceforge.net and then have the gaul to ask for a $1 donation. I mean, who has a $1 these days.

You are much better off buying Modern Warfare 2 for $Game + $10. Then $15.99 for the 3 new maps and bug fixes you were due anyway.

 

[crazyeyesreaper]

well its more bf2 = $20 and no micro and will have more content while bf2 free = micro transaction etc etc lol ill just stick with the $20 entry fee and be set thats the main issue here well know its nothing more then BF2 tweaked for micro transactions. the next next gen free to play will be 2142 with a new coat of paint in say 2 years lol

 

[TheLaughingMan]

I respect you Easy, but I absolutely despise Squad Rush.

Look the value of the business model is debatable but I'm just not impressed with this. Why don't they do something more worthwhile like concentrate on making BF3 as good as it should be which, if history is a guide, most certainly will disappoint PC gamers. Note I didn't say it will be a crappy game. BC2 certainly isn't despite it's aggravations and shortcomings.

And using MOH as a counter example isn't really helping your point...it's simply worse from every angle starting with the actual game itself.

I don't see how any of the past Battlefields, with the exception of the first Bad Company being on console only, was a disappointment to fans. Granted we have the cry babies they won't let the older games, but that is to be expected.

This takes next to no developement and will not hinder BF3. They are just updating some graphics and giving an old game away from free.

They are just updating some graphics and giving an old game away from free.

And at the same time, paying people to provide free content. Even as a marketing tool, it's stupid.

 

[Black Haru]

remember this is a different team than the one that works on bf3 and bad company.

would you rather they work on this or spend all their time on Heroes??

 

[TheLaughingMan]

I disagree. Giving this away for free at the right time to remind people of the franchise is a smart move. You can advertise this and provide early access to the beta of BF3 for playing it. They are getting ready for a at least 9 months time in which they will have nothing to say about Battlefield. This gives them something to talk about.

Everyone respects someone called Easy. Hell we will even use vasoline : ) Played a couple good rounds tonight, but excited for the new card.
Look at my specs any one who is bored and see if I should keep up as far as FPS. I suck but this may help a little.

They are updating graphics ? Will it be any better then my 1.5 patch I have. I love that game. Maybe I'll dump mine. I get kick all the time.
By the way I like MOH too : ) Wasn't woth $60, but I've done worse. I bought SOF 3 for full price. Sold it for $5 though and felt good about it.

 

[Scrizz]

I love BF2
strike at Karkand
omFg

if they gave BF2 the BC2 engine
/drool

[blind rage]I don't want free things, get them out of my sight![/blind rage]

Remember when you would by a game and the WHOLE game came with the initial purchase? If an expansion pack did come out it offered NEW things in it? Like lots of new levels and weapons and gameplay elements? Do you remember the days when sequels had better graphics then the original and added more to the game? Like going from 8 vs. 8 to 16 vs. 16 and then 32 vs. 32? Do you guys remember those days?

You know what happen to that? MICRO TRANSACTIONS BUSINESS MODEL. Wake the F$%K UP!

i agree with our famous troll, micro transactions are killing games.


in the past, to make a game stand out the AAA titles had more content from the get go - you got MORE game for the same money.

nowadays you get LESS game, the same (or less) than the B grade titles - and you have to pay again and again, $5 or $10 at a time to get the rest of the game (all the items/maps/missions etc) until you've paid twice the amount of a regular game, for the same content we took as normal a few years ago.

my real beef is with MP games - if you have MP exclusive DLC like maps, it segregates the players. some play on DLC maps, some on regular - and servers are one or the other, not both, or it'd kick non DLC owners off when it rotated to a DLC map.

People have sacrificed quality and content for hype.
