It's 29.99 on steam for the complete bf2 collection. I bought BF2 a long time ago and had alot of fun with it, but now it's just filled with so many "pros" that it's really hard to get good at anything.

i highly doubt that bf2 and bfbc2 are to different bf2 has 64 player count huge maps vehicles,jets,helicopters not even a direct sequel BF3 would kill of bf2 the thing about the pc community we don't abandon our games and move on as soon as the next big thing comes out look at bf 1942 it still has a decent community. But dedicated their party servers tools and modding capabilities are a big reason release a game with that and the community will take care of all extra DLC on its on.

Yea Steam rips you off. So do some other places. At alot of places you can buy the game for 10$ so worth it ^^.

The new patch of BF2 included the 2 expansion packs (not special forces though) and is cheap and still has thousands of servers. BFBC wont be out for a while so get BF2 now if you want to play a BF.

You might consider purchasing BF2142, as the weapons and vehicles of 2142 will be quiet different and give you more replay value after you get BFBC2. Btw I regularly play 2142 and the community is very strong.

I do not think you should be afraid that the community from BF2 will migrate over to BFBC2,BFBC2 may be the newest entry, and most BF2 players will buy it, but BF2 is the bigger game, with moreways to play (jets anyone?).

Id say get BF2, the community is pretty darn strong, andworks on just about any PC ive met, besides... 64 player mayhem is so manykinds of cool, that it is hard to explain.

BFBC2 is a slightly smaller game, if I understood correctly (32 player) andwhile it is tecnically superior, it comes at the price of a portion of the BF2 community not being able to play it.

I am sure the weapons work WAY better in BFBC2 tho... I am SO gonna get that game ^^

err sidetracked :s Yeah BF2 is a safe buy, they did not migrate for BFBC, and I doubt they are gonna move an inch before BF3 comes out. (most of the community seems to see BFBC as a spinoff series rather then sequals)

Edit:

Unlike some people have mentioned on here, I find BF2 to be quite easy for new players to get into, its a game about teamwork, so a mechanic, medic, or support soldier will get you a foot in the door fast, but beware, this IS a team game, which makes it so darn good ^^

Get BF2. I dont think BC2 will steal most BF2 population. If anything most BF2 fans will switch to BF3 ( already announced ) but that is probably coming in 2011 if not later

I'd go with the genral consensus on this topic. Get BF2 now and then when BC2 comes out get that. Actually it's a no brainer to quite honest. I'm a BF2 die hard but I cant wait till BC2 comes out as it looks awsome not that I'll quit BF2 I hope you understand. Aswell I want BC2 as it will be a good indicator as to how BF3 will look. As for BF21420 or whatever, I hear that its not got a very good online community. Its ok if you like StarWars.
