    So now that EA is releasing all of its games onto steam do you thing they'll do the same with Battlefield. How sick would that be? maybe put in some achievements and other little cool things. No more disc swapping or any of that bullshit. It would just kind of make sense, another really popular first person shooter on steam. . . kind of a no brainier, right?

    I hope the new Battlefield 1943 comes to Steam, with no additional DRM. I will never buy it of EA's download service. And hope they transfer over the achievements from the 360 version to steam achievements.

    I assure you, Heroes, and Bad Company will definitely not throw off something like BF2. Everyone that plays BF2 still to this day knows that BC didn't even come close to the quality of that game. 1943 I'm looking forward to though, since 1942 is rather dead already, but heroes and BC won't change anything, especially if BC doesn't do a single thing that the first did.

    Ya we need a battlefield 3, preferably in space. That would be so epic.

    Maybe if those people had actually played BC...

    What keeps BF2 alive is the same thing that keeps CS alive.  Low requirements.

    And low requirements are a great thing. I know I went away from PC gaming because the requirements sky rocketed. Wouldn't have if they didn't.

    1942 and vietnam are still great games, and I am sure that their popularity would skyrocket if they were released on Steam, D2D and so on. Especially since many with steam does not have high-end PCs.
    I think that having to find your CD/DVD and put it in your computer is a major reason people stop playing games and shorten their lifespan as well as decrease their community.
