Man. I remember playing this game, and the Vietnam expansion, with a 7.1 surround speaker setup, when I was a teenager. My dad complained about the bass so much that I had to mod my subwoofer so I could turn it down lower. The whole house was shaking. What a time to be alive.
back when they did expansion packs for $15 basically a whole new game compared to todays standards. crazy to think gaming peaked back then and we were all teenagers. didnt know how good we had it before all the bullshit now.
Damn, I swear some kids got away with so much shit growing up lmao If I had to be told more than twice that speaker would've been outta the room in no time.
@@ihswap Well I just got to play with the speakers during the day, after school, and had to put on headphones in the evening after dinner. I wasnt waking my dad up in the middle of the night with it, he would have kicked my ass lol
remember when DIce used to win awards? or when the gaming industry in general actually released good games? at least indie games are still good, but AAA is dead
Facts. Kubrick said "you don't try to capture reality, you try to capture the photograph of reality" exaggeration and focus can lead to a more immersive (not necessarily "realistic") experience
I probably watched Full Metal 3 over 100 times over the years. Showed it to my kids several times. I still go back and watch just to get back to basics and slow the fuck down from the frantic gameplay I'm used to now. The best montage ever in my opinion.
we are truly in the dark ages of FPS gaming now and have been for ages. BC2 is unmatched. How has this game been forgotten about? Remaster it. Give us what we want. Change very little besides a few QoL changes. Giving us Portal was a kick in the nuts.
Yeah unfortunately it's never going to happen because EA already said themselves that they were not going to do something like this or make a sequel because they don't know how it became such a success in the first place that they don't think that they would be able to recreate the feeling of the bad company franchise I highly doubt they'll ever do a remaster I wish that they would add bots to it so for people that has not been able to experience the multiplayer because of the player base not being there anymore or the servers being shut down because I never got to play it I've always played battlefield 3 4 and Hardline But honestly this looks so freaking good that I think it would probably top those I really wish I would have been able to get to play this and MAG
I remember dice running a survey pool a few years ago asking us why we loved bad company 2 so much... It was at that moment I knew dice had no idea what the hell it was doing anymore and the individuals who created the awesome games more than likely no longer worked at the company.
Bad company 2 was just such an amazing time man. Why cant we have games like this anymore. So simple, so straight forwards and yet so rewarding to be good at. Truly the glory days of BF on pc.
@@ggezlol-are you sure? Your trolling me 😂. All the battlefields had multiplayer. Battlefield 2142 had multiplayer and that was 2-3 years older than bad company 1. I have several clips on the 360 playing it. But I do agree both bad company games were goated
The blaring siren going silent for multiple seconds because of an explosion creates such an intense vibe, cause you can see the light flashing in time to when you should otherwise hear it.
Whenever I start to feel old I take some comfort in reminding myself I got to grow up in the golden age of online multiplayer. The competition between shooter devs at the time was so fierce, they couldn't afford to be lazy or too greedy so each game was super polished and filled to the brim with unique features.
Yes this game really had the best audio engine. The way the reverb would dynamically change depending if your character was indoors or outdoors was great. Truly an amazing experience pushing into an enemy held building with all the gunshots and explosions echoing while the walls were blowing up around you.
Exactly. War Tapes was the audio setting that really gave you that absolute cachophony of combat, what an amazing piece of sound design for the Battlefield series it was.
I remember being so disappointed with the Audio in BF3 when it finally released. Don’t get me wrong it was good but just didn’t hold a candle to Bad Company 2’s.
Thanks to modders, i still play this masterpiece. Best BF ever. I even downloaded some of your montages, so even it's not available on youtube, i can still watch it in 20 years and remember the good old days.
it really gives goosebumps, not just the game, but your videos as well. The nostalgia from the Full Metal series you did back then just goes surging in. Thank you very much for creating this channel mr Threatty!
One of my cherished memories was waking up early in the morning before school so I could play Arica Harbour. When the BF3 trailer got announced I was so hyped I started playing BC2 even more. I remember when the Open Beta was out on PS3 I went back to play BC2 and could hardly find a game because everyone was on the beta lol;
The sound from this game was phenomenal with War Tapes enabled in the audio settings. I had a surround spund set up hooked to my PS3, in which there were days where I had to just stop playing early due to my ears ringing
100% agree on this. This is by far the best BF audio design, BF3 was good and BF 1 was good too, may close to this one, but still this audio the sounds, the ambience was brilliant.
It’s really nice to see you’re still alive and well man; your content inspired and educated thousands including myself. Just rewatched Full metal 3 reliving the glory days.
The Return of The King Preach. Not much is as satisfying as taking down helicopters from the sky with the M136 AT4. Going down memory lane of the pipsqueak days of Xbox 360 & my first gaming PC. Nostalgia (for simpler times)
Can you believe that watching only 20 seconds of video I remembered perfectly this one when you created it back in the day? I'm not talking about the nostalgia of the game, I'm talking about the fact that your video after so much time still comes to my mind from the first time I saw it. Incredible.
What makes this game different from its successors is the lack of visual clutter in the UI/HUD and the distinct sounds cues within an already phenomenal audio design. I miss the callouts of the soldiers which can be heard both in Russian and English.
This sound design was absolutely stunning. The focus on the reverb and echo of large explosions, and the tight reverb when in buildings really brings the sounds to life. Think of gunfire in Michael Mann movies, they are a world apart from others because of a focus on gunfire echo, which is a real thing that is often overlooked. Thanks for a flashback to a fantastic game.
Bc2 had a very special type of chaos going on in full lobbies that I dont think newer bf had. I think looking back to it, all the sounds were very loud. Its like "full of sounds" love it 😢
It's crazy I think I started my FPS journey with this game. My brother had it on his computer and I played it in a lounge chair with a mousepad on a nightstand and keyboard in my lap lol. I remember this game had amazing audio and I think the only time I heard a game with similar levels of audio quality was the first black ops. It wasn't as insane but it was definitely something I noticed. I feel like all the other Battlefields sound fine but nothing sounded as atmospheric as this game. I think Battlefield Hardline was actually pretty close in terms of audio quality but since that game flopped I guess they fired half the audio engineers or something. Always good to see a Threatty video!
Your metal videos are still the best! Nobody comes close still in 2024! Thx for still doing it! Gaming will feel not the same if you leave too ( Hey Frankie on pc ) hahaha. I miss Levelbf times ;)
This and the original have The Best audio I’ve ever had the pleasure of hearing in a shooter game. The way the sound changes depending if you’re inside or not. You can hear the echos off in the far distance. The mic feedback when an explosion is too close. I miss this!
Glad to hear many people discovered a surround sound and subwoofer were enjoyed thoroughly by others too. My 12" sub in a giant box killed those tank blasts and low frequency rumbles. Neighbors probably heard the shooting.
I thought this video seemed familiar and yes the description confirms it, gameplay from 2011!! :D I remember watching this video so many years ago (and IT STILL LOOKS EPIC)... Idk if it's cause I was younger back then or is BFBC2 truly such a superior game but the feeling of epic fun I had in that game is better then what I remember BF3 feeling like and for sure better then BF4 (am playing BF4 now, never was interested in any newer Battlefield after BF4)... I think those games had better balance, vehicles felt less oppressive and there was just less weapons of mass destruction and guided rockets falling down from the sky all the time (though there was a tiny bit of that too just way less)... BF4 just feels like a massive mosh pit where you spawn directly into the line of fire, everything is just way too damn quick and aggressive... Everything feels slower in BFBC2 and I think that is what gives it such a good/epic feeling... also maps had perfect mixes of vehicle and infantry gameplay, no helicopters or jets going on a 100 killstreak and shiz like that. xd Games should to have a bit of calm between action, if it's just CONSTANT ACTION you get numb to it. If I just killed someone, he doesn't need to spawn 10 meters away from me in 6 seconds again lol.
Also you made some incredible plays, there were several times you should’ve died but fought hard. The multiple knife kills after the no scope had me saying YOOOOO out loud
This is still the only BF game I've actually played, and even well over a decade later I still specifically remember its audio design standing out as a high point. Not a lot of games one can say that for, I imagine.
Special Activities Division?.....HELL FUCKING YES!!!. Man the sounds of the UH60 blackhawk whilst being a gunner is the most satisfying realistic war audio I have ever heard.
As one of the few kids back then with a PROPER gaming headset, BC2 and BF3 were my shit, I remember telling my friends how they needed to get a headset so they could truly hear the game.
This Game was the perfect cocktail of simple systems working together to create an incredible whole. The Team-play, class design, maps, weapons, audio... there's not been a better Battlefield since. Not to mention it having one of the best DLC's ever conceived in the Vietnam expansion.

remember when DIce used to win awards?

You remember when dice made good games
Remember when awards given not for how much minorities was in your game?

Exactly, because sometimes reality doesn't even feel "real."
Is the word hyperreal?
Oh, okay
Not always but ok
Man DICE audio used to be something special. Especially love the sniper crack and echo of BC2
Good old times. Playing BC2 after school and watching your first Full Metal montages.
I probably watched Full Metal 3 over 100 times over the years. Showed it to my kids several times. I still go back and watch just to get back to basics and slow the fuck down from the frantic gameplay I'm used to now. The best montage ever in my opinion.

dice/EA would fuck a remaster up somehow
Yeah unfortunately it's never going to happen because EA already said themselves that they were not going to do something like this or make a sequel because they don't know how it became such a success in the first place that they don't think that they would be able to recreate the feeling of the bad company franchise
I highly doubt they'll ever do a remaster I wish that they would add bots to it so for people that has not been able to experience the multiplayer because of the player base not being there anymore or the servers being shut down because I never got to play it I've always played battlefield 3 4 and Hardline
But honestly this looks so freaking good that I think it would probably top those I really wish I would have been able to get to play this and MAG

12 seconds in and just goosebumps because of the nostalgia. I miss the days when I daily played video games.
BC2 was amazing.

Wasn’t this bad company 1?

@ggezlol- bad Company 1 definitely had multiplayer. I played it so much on the 360. And 2 aswell obviously
Are you a child? The golden age was BF2 and 1942, not this consolized trash.
Couldn’t agree more - the comms and the M-COM alarm made this so immersive!
BC2 will always hold a special place in my heart
Nothing will ever top the CoD4-BO1, Halo 2-Reach, BF:BC2-BF4 era
🥹
Bo2 is good also 👌
A BC2 video by Threatty in 2024 ?
Am I dreaming ?
Its not like 2142 Is any good
@@alexgrenlie8622142 is a classic, surely you mean 2042, right?
@@alexgrenlie8622142 was amazing!!!
The blaring siren going silent for multiple seconds because of an explosion creates such an intense vibe, cause you can see the light flashing in time to when you should otherwise hear it.
I've still never heard an FPS sound this good. The gun shots, explosions, character voices, echoes, tank engines..
babe cancel all my meetings my goat has dropped a banger
It's a 9 minute video. You are a busy man having 9 total minutes of meetings all day
I love goats babe.
this game is unmatched, BF3 was amazing and somehow the peak of Battlefield, but man BC2 was just ahead of its time
Bad company 2 was peak. 3 was awesome but I’m taking BC2 over any Battlefield
The audio in this game was incredible. The tanks shells flying by were nuts. Thanks for posting this.
This game’s audio is so iconic to me you could have had a black screen as the visual for this video and I would immediately know what game it is.
Awesome, the atmosphere will never be bettered. And yep that audio was unreal, the effects, music & voice lines / acting all perfect.
Still the best multiplayer experience I've ever had.
1:08 A-10's lovely sound design as usual in this game
Whenever I start to feel old I take some comfort in reminding myself I got to grow up in the golden age of online multiplayer.
The competition between shooter devs at the time was so fierce, they couldn't afford to be lazy or too greedy so each game was super polished and filled to the brim with unique features.

Truly an amazing experience pushing into an enemy held building with all the gunshots and explosions echoing while the walls were blowing up around you.
I remember when "war tapes" were such a huge draw for players in Battlefield! Bad Company 2 and even BF3 to some extent. Extremely immersive!
Exactly. War Tapes was the audio setting that really gave you that absolute cachophony of combat, what an amazing piece of sound design for the Battlefield series it was.
@@Threattyin BF2142 the FX sound setting ;) after getting soundcard, maybe that was wartape hahaha ow it can’t be it was the year 2142 ;)

Still the best BF since 2010.
Man Bad Company 2 was the best at launch. I still rewatch your Full Metal and Firestorm every now and then.
I still occasionally think about the background soldier call outs and shouts in this game. Loved all the muffling effects from explosions too
Looooord, I miss this game. Peak gaming.

And I remember watching you all those years ago. It’s crazy and awesome to still see you making videos. An absolute OG for sure ❤
Thanks for reminding us about those times Threaty!. You were definitely without a doubt , a huge part of BC2 era.
first fps I've really got into... I would still play it to this day
I like how you managed to present just about every class's classic weapons and tools as well. There's no been no better game mode since than Rush.
Port Valdez will always hold a special place in my heart. This was a golden game for its time and God I wish it stayed that way
At my first apmt, 19 years old. Buddy came over with his tv and console and we played this for 2 days.. nostalgia
Woah. What a blast from the past. You helped form my Battlefield addiction back in the day my man.
7:15 bro that no scope hit me like WTF and than you keep going like a maniac i LOVE IT
THAT is BATTLEFIELD
I miss everything...
I MISS THIS GAME SO FUCKIN MUCH!!! This video fills with me glee and sadness, awesome man

I know right? This was the chaos of Battlefield at it's very best.
The man, the myth, the legend
I can't understand how a game can go from This, to the future and send 2042, its like you're not going to future, its 1000 steps back omg
Seeing Threatty pop up in my feed was not something I was expecting today. Gettin an absolute wave of nostalgia.
the audio is immaculate but man my eyes hurt watching this. The video is so bright!

Beautiful clean gameplay, I get a lot of happy nostalgia from this. It used to be just like this guys
Bad company 2 and Threatty - sweet memories to a better time if my life. Now sick and left alone.

Good to see another video!
that gives me such a huge flashback, what a game this was...
It's also really nice that bullets actually used to hit where you pointed them and drop/target lead was comprehensible.
No other Battlefield has captured the same intensity of Rush than BC2. The sounds, voice lines, the slow and clunky movement...I love it!
Special Activities Division?.....HELL FUCKING YES!!!. Man the sounds of the UH60 blackhawk whilst being a gunner is the most satisfying realistic war audio I have ever heard.
Its good to see you back bro ❤
Thank you! I have more videos cooking!
Threatty with a BFBC2 video? What a pleasant surprise
So sad this game is gone. It was truly special to me, I wish I could go back in time and play it back in its prime again
As one of the few kids back then with a PROPER gaming headset, BC2 and BF3 were my shit, I remember telling my friends how they needed to get a headset so they could truly hear the game.
Man, I love this game. One of the best gaming experiences I had as a teen playing video games.
Man, I still remember all these sounds by heart.
This Game was the perfect cocktail of simple systems working together to create an incredible whole. The Team-play, class design, maps, weapons, audio... there's not been a better Battlefield since. Not to mention it having one of the best DLC's ever conceived in the Vietnam expansion.
Damn I forgot how good this game sounds. Even something small like a chain-link fence getting broken has so much punch to it. Really makes the whole battlefield sound like absolute chaos.
They should teach this in video game class
Damn beast man. Nice gameplay!
This game was life.
this game was soo ahead of its time... i miss the old days i wish i appreciated these times more
Holy shit that takes me back. Goosebumps the whole way through
man I miss that tap firing pretty bad
BC2 was something truly fucking special, I miss those days
These games were everything for us back in the day
Back when games were fun!
I have to agree man.
Also, hope you're going well!
Wow, crazy to see how far we've regressed.
Babe wake up, Threatty posted BC2 content!
