1 - "we are not going casual" Yea right......
And yet they make these casual BF games : Battlefield 1943 , Battlefield Heroes and Bad Company 2.
Then where is BF3, the true BF game ? where are the 64 player battles that where so awesome in past BF games ?

they started making console games. >.> thats why. yea 64 players is awesome, but not when you have 45 of them running on 700+kps net. T_T it just gets lame. to much lag, and to many people who can't even play.

ill take my 12v12, or even a 16v16. 32v32 is such a pain now. to many "1337" players, who suck and quit the match before it ends.

1.2 - Bad Company is not casual!
what the hell are you talking about? you think because there is humor in the game that it is a casual game? lets see grandma beat it and see if it is casual then.

Agreed Badpuppy. Been playing BF since 1942. BC was one of the best online shooters on the consoles but was overshadowed by COD4. I hope BF3 and 1943 online playing is smoother and lag free like cod4s

3.1 - better for who? not online console gaming in general
the whole point of online games are the level playing field. they don't work if some people have more accurate aiming than others. where is the fun in that??? it only takes a few to ruin it for the rest. don't get me wrong, i love mouse aiming but not if it is an unfair advantage over others. but then again i don't HAVE to win like other players, win at all costs bullsh!t. i'm just along for the insane ride.

6.1 - when did you play BF: bad company 2?
as for BF:Bad Company, I don't think you know the difference between a casual and non-casual game.

it's pretty obvious they have BF3 in development. they are not stupid, they know how important that game is, they just haven't announced it. they still need to keep the doors open and PC only games don't do that anymore, WoW excluded.

PC gamers should be happy BC2 is coming their way. i'm sure it'll keep their interest until BF3 comes along. BC is pretty close to hardcore except the number of players. i personally can't wait, even though i could quite happily play the current BC for a few years to come, can't get enough of that drug into my system. destructable environments changed the game for me, no turning back now and no where to damn hide.
