I hope you don't think I do. And I hope you don't think I am. Serious that is. A nerd I'm fine with.
No I don't think you are. Its that I sometimes forget this is a tech site and when viewing other tech sites like anandtech forums and what not, a lot of people have their panties in a twist for no reason at all other than for the sake of it or showing off their power levels or whatever.
It was... It was very very short lived though in my experience. Though I ended up picking up the expansion for £5 so i not too sure if I joined the game when it was halfway through its life span or not. Servers slowly started to disappear and last time i did check (probably a good few years back -- I currently dont have BC2 installed) there were only a small handful of UK/Euro servers.
I got it the day it came out. It didn't last nearly as long as BF-1942 did but there was plenty of private servers that used to be full almost every day all day. Tons of fun. Just even the idea of integrating a radio/music system into the game was something else entirely, and surprised it was never implemented in any other game. But I guess it was really to grab the whole "vietnam era esque" from it where the music of that era helped really shape America at the time.
Or maybe I am reading too much into it. But regardless, the game was a lot of fun. The BF Bad Company 2 Vietnam was extremely short lived. And while it was cool with the map destruction, it was not BF Vietnam in the end, and well, lost its lust after a short bit (obviously because: Lack of maps, Map Size being small, total player count being small, no music from vehicles, etc etc). I remember almost crapping myself in excitement when I first saw the trailer. After getting it though, I felt somewhat ripped off.
