I thought they were releasing NEW maps not just using the same maps for different game types. O well

OhReginald5900d ago

1. they are free.
2. Laguna presa and arica harbor are the best maps in my opinion. More modes in these maps the better.

xxsnowmanxx5899d ago

i threw away that VIP code after I inputted it for the first time to get the Thompson gun, WW2 handgun and Tracer gun... hopefully that means since i already put in that code, it's bound to my PSN so i wouldn't need to input that code again right?

iceman065899d ago

I think that it is. At least that is what I have been told by others in the BFBC 2 community. Either way, I can't wait for more...plus FREE is always good (unless it's an STD!!! *LOL*).

FragGen5899d ago

Sweet! A FREE DRM pack for BFBC2!

Seriously, though, this is a trivial update that could have easily been part of the original game but instead it is being enabled as part of EAs DRM/used copy lock down strategy and clueless users cheer like they're getting something for nothing.

i am sorry but battlefield 2 modern combat is IMO the pinnacle of online gaming .
this is not dlc worthy even?
MW2 dlc is a proper DLC . giving you a couple of old classical maps (e.g. crash)

just release backstab , bridge too far , and deadly pass and you got yourself a winner .

also , i hate how you play each map twice , even in conquest mode , WTF . about 1 hour on 1 map is way over the limit.

also , the way it should be is that people vote for the map they want , why are we forced to play a unlikable map .

this generation , i have seen many fundamental errors in the online spectrun.

maaan (shakes his head in disgust)

mrv3215899d ago

They are not the same maps...

FIRSTLY have you played them? NO
Secondly have you even played the different game mode of BC2 you'll notice despite being around the same location they ARE completely different maps, each location is tailored for a mode, the arica map is long in rush, by putting these in conquest they will probably either reuse building and what not but calling the same is stupid untill you play them. Yeah sure certain maps are enclosed versions of a larger map it still makes it varied.

'This is not dlc worthy even? ' Can I ask why seriously it's content which you download it seems to fit into the downloadable content area unless there's another way to it.

'MW2 dlc is a proper DLC . giving you a couple of old classical maps (e.g. crash); It's costing $15 BTW... this is free. MW2 maps are tiny compared to BC2 and so easier to make. Crash= a base in arica harbour.

'also , the way it should be is that people vote for the map they want , why are we forced to play a unlikable map .' It's server passed not host passed it's more diffucult to do that.

Don't download it, don't play it, sell BC2 if your disgusted.

SixZeroFour5899d ago

mrv321 leave him be and let him waste $15 on 3 maps and 2 complete rehashes, while we get these 2 maps, although complete rehashes, set for COMPLETELY different gametypes AND FREE!!

i honestly wonder how someone can complain about something that is free, yet back up something that cost money (and in my opinion, overpriced at that) just cause its the same maps but for different gametypes

bjornbear5899d ago

which i agree with, since personally i prefer rush to conquest but i think its laguna presa thats only conquest, so now it will be rush too =) which is good to see =D

if its free, why complain.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC822d ago (Edited 822d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga822d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics822d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend821d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long822d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons822d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor822d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens52821d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey602821d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv72822d ago

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor822d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B821d ago (Edited 821d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

OtterX896d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled896d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa896d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno895d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac895d ago (Edited 895d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast895d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial895d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."

darthv721160d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel1160d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon1159d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim1159d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai1160d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane13411160d ago (Edited 1160d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai1160d ago (Edited 1160d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane13411160d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma3131160d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald1159d ago (Edited 1159d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra1159d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai1159d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra1159d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade1159d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra1159d ago (Edited 1159d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno1160d ago

On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.

badz1491160d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop1159d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb1159d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole1160d ago

Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game

SonyStyled1160d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
