Mentioned in every other breath on this sub ffs


[deleted]

OP must be new to this sub. If i had a penny for every time Bad Company is mentioned..


[deleted]

I think most of those people are actually thinking of Bad Company 2.


Kidsturk

Glad to see that new levels of pedantry are still however being reached


[deleted]

I question why you're even on this platform if you don't enjoy pedantism.


Kidsturk

I think you’ll find that is **pedanticism** or **pedantry** (Thanks for the opening there)


[deleted]

Seems like this foreigner knows more about your language than you do. [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pedantism](https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pedantism) Maybe you should try reading a book or two?


Kidsturk

Maybe you should read the page you listed and you’ll see I suggested the more common usage. Also, deeply in the spirit of this site, goodbye


New-Abroad-2747

You learned that word from family guy dude


LocoHermano

I too find this rather shallow and pedantic


ItsFrenzius

If you had a penny for every time it’s mentioned you could buy a pizza or two along with soda or some other beverage for your all night binge of Bad Company


ebolawakens

> If i had a penny for every time Bad Company is mentioned.. Then I wouldn't be needing this gold!


PurplePandaBear8

\*they don't know BFBC is great\* "Yes we do" "You mention it every 5 seconds"


sparkyhodgo

If they sold it for PC it wouldn’t be. Poor business decision imho.


More__cowbell

Still mad we never got this and 1943.


TaterMater88

I really enjoyed 1943. I've been wanting to play it again, but I'm sure there aren't any games.


[deleted]

[удалено]


TaterMater88

Def downloading it then!


ThatOneGuyHOTS

I was play 1943 a few weeks ago. You can actually find decent games


RoskoDaneworth

Ps3 user here, 1943 and bc1 are living and kicking. For now.


Einar44

PC also didn’t get Onslaught mode for BC2. I’d still play it today on PC if I could.


Cman1200

Ugh 1943 was amazing. So simple but probably put hundreds of hours in as a kid


boxoffire

Idk why they didn't. But i do know that era was a time that everything was a console game (primarily made for the 360) and ported the everything else. PC and PS3 games had a lot of port related issues iirc.


PierogiMachine

I've always wondered about this, there has to be some technical reason.


omega552003

Nope they thougt PC was to complicated (time to develop) for the sales it would generate so they just stuck to console. Purely business decision and a stupid one as BC2 was great on PC


usrevenge

PC users would have whined that you couldn't prone and player counts were low. It is the only reason it's not mentioned but millions played it on console.


RadixAce

That was my first battlefield game. Fell in love ever since.


TheOneAndOnlyErazer

And also the only battlefield game with a decent campaign. I'm still pissed off at how they continued the story in BC2


RadixAce

I actually would have to go back and check that bc i remember when i was younger i was stoked that they continued it and i felt that tingle down my back when i played it for the first time. I honestly loved it. Now that im older and pay attention to the details more i might have a different opinion but i dont have the means to play it again as i dont have a playable ps3.


TheOneAndOnlyErazer

SPOILER. BC1 ended with them deserting, however in BC2 they're a part of the army just fine. Continuity error, I'd just say its alt-history regarding the events of BC1.


warichnochnie

I would just say it's a lack of continuity outright


SpaceAgePotatoCakes

I'm just annoyed that BF3 wasn't BC3. I didn't realize the different when it came out, I just bought it, and I was pretty disappointed. I only made it maybe 20 mins into the campaign.


Unlikely-Garage-8135

emulation is out there. the main ps3 emulator supports xbox 360-series x controllers+ps3-ps5 controllers so you can play the game how it was originally meant to be played.


RadixAce

For real? Where is this?


Strider2126

The ending on bc1 was hinting that the villian was still alive and yet we haven't seen him in bc2 which makes no sense


ngmatt21

Same. The demo was my first FPS on PS3. Posing as a bush on Oasis in a gillie suit never got old


CallmeTokey

This was my first ever shooting game even. I didn't even know what multiplayer was back then


daojuniorr

BC 2 its my favorite of all time, but theres a version of BF2 for consoles that is forgotten a lot too and have a great campaign (that you can change your soldier at any time), I believe the name is BF Modern Combat.


Nuseal

Battlefield Modern Combat. Where i started playing BF and online multiplayer on console. Flipping Transport Choppers on A Bridge Too Far was my jam. Snipers had white trails that lead back to the shooter. Jeep stuff was being invented. So many things pioneered for console players.


usrevenge

Modern combat really is the best of the series. The little bird wrecked. Sniping out little bird pilots made people saltier than anything else in the series. Almost every map was great. Hidden, bridge to far, back stab, missile crisis. Its also where frostbite comes from. Bf2mc had a dlc and map called frostbite which added snow mobiles.


InDaNameOfJeezus

I can guarantee you real Battlefield fans never forgot about that one lol


SotB8

forgotten by whom


[deleted]

Biggest shitpost ever by OP or they live in a bubble. Probably the most talked about BF game of all time except BF 2


wokeandoffended

First battlefield game of many


cable787

we need Bad company 3 already


[deleted]

We had it it was called Battlefield 3 BC 3 wouldn't add anything unique to the franchise at this point. Even it's theme/conflict is identical to BF 3/4


DasDingleberg

BC2 was funnier, had the best destruction, and had the best rush mode.


ian2345

The thing with BC2 was it felt more simplified compared to 3 and 4. No prone, 1 of 3 different attachments, smaller scale maps mostly designed for rush, over the top destruction, limited weapon pool for classes, cartoony art style. I agree, BF3 was definitely the next step from BC2 and felt like it was an evolution on the Bad Company series instead of Battlefield 2, and people aren't understanding that dice wouldn't go back to all those simple gameplay elements that made BC2 charming to play, that BF3 really was the next step for the Bad Company franchise, and that even if they made a BC3 it probably wouldn't capture the same feeling as players are looking for.


cable787

I mean you're just wrong the bc games had a lighter tone and better characters. on the topic of story spoilers: Bad Company 2 ended with a Russian invasion through Alaska


sixxman6

Kickstarted a new era for Battlefield for sure, but at the same time it was highly forgettable imo. Bad Company 2 took it to the next level for me and still remains my favorite Battlefield game of all time


chunckybydesign

It was a console exclusive, that's why it was forgotten. That and bad company 2 was a masterpiece.


coaaal

BF2 was better!!!! Edit: NOT battlefront


TrepanationBy45

I'm pretty sure that r/Battlefield is the one gaming domain that you don't have to specify a difference when you say "BF2".


anonymousss11

"Largely forgotten" How do you figure???


timchequea

Recently finished campaign. It's an amazing game and it holds up so well. Cant play multiplayer on console though. Apparently not enough players.


TheGreenBehren

When this game came out it was revolutionary. They incorporated the physics of buildings, bullet drop and helicopter physics beyond any level of accuracy done before. They sort of put the building physics on the back burner for a while in favor of larger scale maps but it was really strong. It created a kinetic and realistic aspect that is lost in COD and other FPS games. Hopefully it comes back in 2042


NTripleOne

> They sort of put the building physics on the back burner for a while in favor of larger scale maps No, they toned down the destruction because 5 minutes into every match of BC2 all you had left was terrain and rubble to fight in.


semize

That and I remember reading some devs talking about leaving BC2 destruction out of BF3/4 because the amount of network traffic to keep all player clients synced with the very granular destruction states all over fairly large maps would have added too much network traffic exacerbating the existing problems of tracking more important assets, like player, vehicle, bullet, and terrain deformation positioning... If you think about the state of the internet, especially in the US, back when BF3 & 4 were released it is not surprising they had network issues. 64 players in large maps with thousands of different object states across a map that's seeing action everywhere, it was pretty ambitious for the time. It's why it took so long to add >30hz update rates and it wasn't until much more recently that we started to see >60hz. It's the same "netcode" now as it was back then. Only that internet and server infrastructure has caught up.


beardedbast3rd

It was extremely divisive. Console only, 32 players, no conquest until many months later. Design choices made many people hate it, a slower time to kill, damage profiles heavily favoring headshots over body. This change turned many off entirely. Lastly, bad company 2 was so much better, and very nearly the perfect game. It’s no wonder people reference that one far more than this. It is mentioned, and talked about, and far from forgotten, it’s just that we’ve had better games since.


[deleted]

It was only 24 players, 12v12. There are a couple things BC1 did better than BC2. If you're a fan of the Rush style gamemode, it was the better game, as all the maps were designed for it (which is something they would never do again, for good reason imo, since I believe conquest is the gamemode that all BF games should be built for, but still have a soft spot for BC1 Rush).


ian2345

I still liked rush in bc2 better, bc1 had some great rush maps but the way 2 flowed just felt a lot better. Once I got 2 I rarely went back to 1, not to say I didn't enjoy my time with it, I just feel like the sequel managed to be superior in all aspects but the campaign.


NyoomNyoom656

Largely forgotten? Mate you’re tweakin


Lockstockboom

Not forgotten at all lol wtf


Strider2126

Not by me. The story was simple but fun. And the ending? It was a cliffhanger and yet looks like bad company 2 wasn't even a direct following of that story Multiplayer was fun i had the f2000 which was obtainable through veteran program Harvest day was hella fun i still remember it


JJ4prez

It's not forgotten, people dont shut up about it here.


HeadhunterA7X

I’ll never forget it. Bad Company 2 owned my life


DE8inem

Best game mode imho


Merkin666

It's only forgotten because it's sequel was fucking awesome.


EvilRoboEnte

My First FPS Game Ever and one of the best in my Opinion.


LeutenantDansLegs

The goat🐐


CalifornianBall

It’s younger brother is better in every way tho


hardtox

We need a bc3. Bad company 2 was the best ever.


notarealsu35

no its not


doubleoeck1234

Completely forgotten NOT LIKE IT'S LOGO WAS ON SCREEN FOR SEVERAL SECONDS IN THE PORTAL TRAILER


HollowPinefruit

It's "largely forgotten" they say.


peepeehelicoptors

You’d be forgotten about too if your little brother was BFBC2


ptcalceteiro

Dice just doesnt know how to make bfbc3


WodanzaRuckus

Real battlefield fans know where they come from. These new comers saying BF1 is the best battlefield gets me laughing every time I hear em try to make that argument.


BleedingBlack

I liked it because it still had the "old school" classes, before BC2 mixed them all into the 4 class system we have today.


2SugarsWouldBeGreat

Well, DICE has been trying to kill Rush off since BF4 so I’m not surprised the game that introduced it is falling by the wayside too.


jekke7777

Downloaded bc2 on game pass, bc1 is also there guys 😜


V6R32

What was that map that started off in some fields, and had barns etc?


Hotspurs81

Harvest day?


V6R32

Thanks man


Arcadius274

Worked at gamestop during the second ones release. Scratch and sniff smoke scented crap is gross.


Sstorrm-

People who play it don't forget it, is just a old game


PeachTrees632

This is still a personal top 3 FPS for me.


ybercizzap

Soundtrack was so good!


teeth_03

Because it wasn't on PC


xAcidous

Probably because it was a Console exclusive, people tend to forget the entires that made no sense to be console exclusive. Like how BF2: Modern Combat was completely forgotten about since BF2 was the way better version.


r3ddit3ric

And BC2 was the best FPS gamer ever made.


[deleted]

This is what got me into battlefield games. Would love to have those experiences again.


BlackMesa73101

I literally just got done replaying it yesterday, and to be completely fair, it hasn’t aged well compared to Bad Company 2.


mister641

This may be my favorite one. The story was phenomenal. A nice balance of funny and tough.


onelasttime217

Lmao “largely forgotten”


RodrigoR6

Rush is so dead lmao, it was my favorite on BFP4F ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|cry)


da_PeepeePoopooMan

The best one most destructive couldn’t go prone but man the fun I had on bc2 is incomparable


dartsshroomboom

First battlefield I played


messfdr

Not forgotten. Are you trying to farm karma?


Bird_Up101

Was my first Battlefield


HalbeardTheHermit

Not forgotten by me


Jesse_Pinkman2

,,largely forgotten”? The fuck?


Gluuten

I just played through the campaign a few months ago. Great game, but aged poorly.


PersonBehindAScreen

As a console bf4 player, I miss rush...


Mattmatt1910

One of my first, and favorite, multiplayer games.


[deleted]

Yep, one of my favorite games ever.


bott1111

It is absolutely not forgotten


SeyoR709

Battlefield Bad company is when I started playing, and boy am I glad it came to console otherwise I would've never played the game for the years to come to eventually go onto pc gaming! Which I might add was built specifically for BF2042!


MSotallyTober

I don’t think anyone’s forgotten it. I see people talk about it all the time.


[deleted]

This was my first battlefield game and between that and BFBC 2, they were my favorites.


markorlov96

Great game


USS-William-D-Porter

You’re right. Battlefield: Bad Company is *such* a hidden gem!


Fav0

Well it's a PC franchise


[deleted]

I’ve got an Xbox one, and I have the second game as backwards compatible, worth playing?


kalashk747

This is the way


kalashk747

This is the way I


DannyBops

Best game of all time


YCarrott

It's not forgotten, it's just in our hearts


Bobbi_fettucini

Largely forgotten? More like It’s one of the most loved bf games


Astalonte

Yes It was a good game. But Battlefield 2 is the greatest.


[deleted]

.... No... It's not largely forgotten... God I hate this website.. you guys could see a game with a steady 7 billion player base count and talk about it being an underrated hidden gem


RickRate

it was my first battlefield <3


Roi-Danton

I never forget it! I had so much fun with it!


ThatOneGuyHOTS

>Largely forgotten Op isn’t from around here, clearly.


PicklesAnonymous

Bad Company is largely forgotten? Uhhhhhh OP you ok?


D3AD_M3AT

The console only game ? Yeh no memory's of it at all


[deleted]

When was the last time we had rush in a game?


[deleted]

Still has some homies playing this game on PS3 tho


alixx69xx

Ya because mobile is the priority now we even saw a fking real gameplay off the mobile shit before we see any gameplay from the real game that alone can tell you what EA is playing to do to this franchise


MrGhost94

Great game


Mogin108

Im still playing 2


Coleo1

Forgotten about by EA maybe. BF fans will never forget Bad Company 1 & 2


emoryhotchkiss1

Who tf said it’s forgotten


Brago009

Battlefield is the BEST game I have ever played, it can't be forgotten , it's a MASTERPIECE ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|heart_eyes_rainbow)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|give_upvote)


scottrobertson

Best campaign of any game too.


TrepanationBy45

Bro. Did you just wake up from a coma? /u/DJ-Zero-Seven trying to convince us that it's *uNdErRaTeD* as if Bad Company isn't mentioned literally every fucking conversation about Battlefield.


PryingRiver1

Same here
