Bad Company 2 came out all the way back in 2010
and to this day many regard it including myself as one of the best Battlefield games ever made it
was very Arcadia it was a lot of fast-paced fun a lot of action going on lots of different play
Styles and map variety and of course overall general just destruction of map capability that
was absolutely fantastic so I have not played this game in at least a decade since I was way back on
the PS3 back in those days but recently I decided to return to Bad Company 2 on the PlayStation 3
to see how it was doing in the modern day is it still playable is there enough people to fill
up lobbies and is there cheating going on so I decided to hop in and get these questions answered
so let's check out the results so I played on a Saturday and a Monday to get a kind of a feel of
different days of the weeks and see who's playing so I hopped in and I was able to pretty much find
a match immediately when I searched for Rush and conquest and I did a quick play because there's no
there is no server browsing on the PS3 as a heads up and upon joining different lobbies from what I
could tell at least on the weekend you could get almost a full Lobby it would be about 8v8 or 9v9
it would fluctuate somewhere around there maybe as low as a 7v7 on the weekends and keep in mind
the max is a 12v12 but the highest I saw either team go up to at any point during the weekends
was maybe 10 players on one team but even with a slight lack of players filling every Lobby you
could still enjoy yourself have a good time and it doesn't feel empty really at all so that's good
to know you can at least still play the game and enjoy yourself playing it in at least the core
rush in Conquest now I did switch it to hardcore to check that out as well and I was able to find
a match of Hardcore pretty much immediately as well and both core and hardcore even as late
as 10 pm on a Saturday Pacific time and keep in mind I am in the west coast region of the US
I'm not sure if that matters where you're located when searching for matches but when I hopped
into hardcore late at night on that Saturday was surprised to find a lot of cooperation going
on people using mics and everyone in my squad had a mic pretty much and they're all adults so
there's no children pretty much on Bad Company too as far as I could tell at least those using
mics there was a decent mix of players there's a lot of experienced players still on the game
that are like Max Rank and stuff like that but you could still get a jump on them and still
do better than them so I'm just gonna go off of skill and I think there's a decent amount of
good players out there a lot of average players and a bit of casual players in the mix as well so
overall a good variety of lobbies and different matches and different performances you'll end up
having it could end up just depending on the map and locations and situations you find yourself
in rather than skill or anything like that as for cheating going on it's kind of hard to tell
if there's cheating going on because there's not really kill cams in Battlefield but as far
as I could tell there was no blatant cheating there was no aimbots no God modes no one flying
around nothing like that and it was just everyone playing and having fun there could very well be
cheaters out there so keep your eyes peeled but from the time I played at different times on a
Saturday and different times on a Monday I never encountered any now since Bad Company 2 is one of
the more popular Battlefield games of the classic series I was kind of surprised to see that I
wasn't able to really fill lobbies entirely I'm not sure if I mentioned but when I played
hardcore it would be about 6v6 in comparison to core where it was about 77 8ft 8.
