Is BC2 like a traditional shooter? TDM, etc? Does it offer modes like Conquest as well?

Conquest, Rush, TDM, etc.....
One of the best MP shooters ever, my favorite after Halo 3. Incredible game. Hope EA throws it in the Vault soon.

It's quintessential mode is Rush but it includes Conquest and Squad Deathmatch which puts four squads of four players against each other, first to 50 wins.
It has a heavy focus on destruction and you'll find yourself in more short range engagements than in the mainline series entries but the gameplay is just so chaotic and fun that it bests every other game in the series.

If I pulled that off, would you die?
Damn I forgot about Bad Company 2s lack of server browser.
Also its nice to see the sniper wookies are still present.
Still hanging in there for MW3 and GTA IV

It's Sega's game, so Platinum never likely had a say, anyway, but it strikes me as foolish to turn down sales and a briefly-raised profile of an IP they could revisit one day.

I've got a few games on my account that I can't pay until they are on XB1that I brought in sales last year. They were so cheap its worth the gamble.
Good point. Thanks for that. (I like your avatar art by the way, even though I've never played the game.)

Wife's been eager for me to play through the first Dragon Age, but it's been going slowly as we have had to move the 360 back and forwards to the living room. BC is a nice welcome!!

LMAO That's great! I love those little love notes from other players who would rather rage quit and send hate messages than admit they suck at a game.

I think these online population numbers for Bad Company 2 may be incorrect.

I've played both GoW2 and GoW3 on my XB1 (both within the last two months) and 3 felt significantly better.

Dont bother... Bad company 2 VIP is currently free http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-ca/Product/Bad-Company-2-VIP/00000000-0000-400c-80cf-0001454108a8 just redeem that and find a used copy somewhere.
I actually got all the DLC (so even Onslaught and the SPECACT one) for free.

Can anybody playin bc2 tell me if people are still playin rush on nelson bay? ....just rush in general....rush hasn't been good in battlefield since bc2.
So happy for Ghostbusters. I thought that was a fun, great game. I could've sworn I had it digitally, but I only have the disc now so I'll likely not play it much until I rebuy it lol.
Same deal with Dragon Age. I have the steelbook limited thingy, but I really thought I bought it when it went on sale one time or something. Maybe I'm thinking of the DLC since I have all of that.

Anyone else playing Mass Effect and experiencing any of these issues?
I'm still playing and enjoying it, but it's a bummer when I go to equip someone with a weapon or armor and I lose all control of the game and having to restart the game.
- 2nd companion will not fight
- Can't equip some companions with armor or weapons
- major slowdown in some situations

My stats are stil there and I don't remember anything like that happening.
I can't be sure it's the same cause, but I had all those issues on various 360 playthroughs.

Sure is. The Battlefield 3 campaign is fantastic, lots of cool set pieces and still really impressive visuals! The characters are also really great
Thanks, that's good to hear. The impression I got was Gears 3 got more attention patch-wise due to it still having somewhat of an online community.

yeah I really liked it.
My brothers stats were gone when he was on the main menu but when he joined a multiplayer game all his unlocks and ranks returned.
I've also tried Gears 2 recently because someone said it didn't run well. Ehh, yes, kinda... I even started to feel a bit dizzy from the performance issues and input lag playing the part before you get on that boat with Dom.
Have we played a different BF3? I think it was pretty bad honestly.

I think it was pretty bad honestly.I find it strange how, despite Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon being made available digitally on both Xbox 360 and Xbox One, Battlefield 3--another multi-disc game--launched without digital availability.
A few of my friends won't even pick it up because they don't want discs. Disappointing, to say the least.

I actually was about to impulse buy it last night, but didn't because it's not available digitally.

Just played some Bad Company 2 and yup, it's still the GOAT
Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon took like a month to be available digitally IIRC

Battlefield 3 Pre-Owned up to $9.99 at Gamestop.
So it begins.

I had slowdown a few times late in the game when throwing a bunch of biotic powers on the screen at once. I didn't experience the other two though.
An aside, but I'm curious to see if Microsoft will implement a Scorpio mode for 360 games when the console is released later this year. Like maybe emulator hacks to make the internal resolution render at higher than the game's target, possibly even forcing the games to run at 1080p with, hopefully, a consistent framerate.
I hope they can do that. It'd make upgrading to the Scorpio all the more worth it if they do, as a lot of 360 games could definitely benefit from a resolution bump.

Is there any chance for another batch of BC games this month or is it a once a month kind of thing?

Totally different publishers (MS vs EA). We have no idea whether EA is willing to invest in making it available or if there are legal or IP issues preventing it. It's not just a matter of technical capability. Even if it were, there are likely testing and certification costs involved for a third party like EA.
Resolution bumps are possible but probably rare if it happens. If there were X360 games that used variable resolution you might see an increase there but for most games a resolution bump would probably require a actual port or remaster. Framerate increases on the other hand are very likely, as we've already seen examples of games that run better than their 360 versions. This will likely be more pronounced on Scorpio. Some games will still be capped because they were programmed that way and the increase in framerate would likely break animations and other things.
They actually say that it is already available in the Vault.

"Let's play battlefield: BAD COMPANY 2 on the xbox one! Now backwards compatible and in the store or at ea access in the vault! Still a cool title, right?"
Thats what the Facebook page says. Makes me wonder how long it will actually take to get in the Vault.

I literally just bought the game 15 mins before that was posted so spoke to MS support and amazingly they gave me a refund.
This is guaranteed. The 360 stuff on the One S uses it's slightly more power to make 360 emulation a little bit better.
A higher resolution I wouldn't be so sure on, not because it'd be impossible persay, but because "internal resolution" isn't always 1:1 to the screen. But I would expect 30 or 60fps locked for sure.
once or twice a week
