This was my first Battlefield and I frankly liked. It is not ultra-realistic, that is why I qualify as "Arcade". Personally I much prefer to Battlefield 3. Despite its age, the graphics and the game mechanics are holding up well. The multiplayer is still busy. It is very easy to find players and servers. The solo is not bad either. The Bad Company is still fun. Only downside: the installation of Punkbuster (anti-cheat protection when playing in multiplayer mode) which can be difficult to install on some PCs. Note that in the game box you will find an activation code. This code is used when installing the game. You will need to connect your game to your Origin Account (EA Account). The code can not be used on Steam. The edition "Just For Gamers" is currently the cheapest on the market. This is also the one that I would recommend as the other editions do not bring anything more.
