Only a true fan with nostalgia for bad company 2 can make these awesome videos, I literally tear up sometimes when I think of 2010 summer, it was my first true FPS, Thank you for making these awesome videos, and music is great in these videos

DICE: We don’t know what made BFBC2 so great.

Just remaster it then.

My favourite FPS of all time, nothing comes close to BC2. I pray for a remaster, and I would prefer that more than a remake. I want it exactly the way it was. I couldn’t wait to get home from school so I could play.
I sometimes go back and binge TheRussianBadgers old BC2 videos to relive the nostalgia.

Man, Summer 2010 was a different era. Nothing has matched that vibe since. Honestly, comments like this are exactly why I started making these tracks—to keep that spirit alive even if the servers eventually go dark. Glad it hit home

Glad this video brought back that feeling.
Badger is a legend. His distinct laugh is burned into my brain alongside the M-COM alarm sound

Remember playing the beta for the 1st time. BC2 was my introduction to the Battlefield series and will always hold a place in my heart.

If they dropped a remaster it would probably have more daily players than BF6 😂

BC2 set the bar incredibly high. Thanks for listening, making this video was a huge nostalgia trip for me too

Port Valdez, the track "Snowy Mountains" playing as the map zoomed to show the layout and progression of objectives before loading in. Damn, what a feeling that was. I played tf out of the beta and no telling how many hours in the main game.

Without going into details, I used to work in the simulators-as-entertainment business. There was a point around 2000-2005 where “we need more realism!” was such a rallying cry that all the simulator software (especially combat) went SUUUUPER deep into making the experience so real that you almost needed to be trained as a real fighter pilot to understand how to get the jet off the ground the first time. This was the death knell for most of the jet fighter/helicopter sims because people bought them and realized IT WASN’T FUN ANY MORE. More like doing homework. Turned out the people crying for “more realism” were a very small, highly vocal group. The other 99% still wanted the fun bias. This change in the industry almost (totally?) killed the sims-as-entertainment market.

Why am I telling this story? I have watched Battlefield go through the same unfortunate decline from BF1942/BFBC/BFBC2 to where we are today. More realistic? Sure. More fun? Probably not. BFBC2 was the pinnacle of “a perfect balance”.
