Quoting: FUBAR
I still need to 100% verify that I can use my BFBC2 game to install on other peoples PCs..
Ok...
Houston we have a slight problem.
I have confirmed that I can install the game on my mum's PC using Online authentication for up to 9 additional machines... However.
BFBC2 has
NO LAN SUPPORT This means that if we want to play this we all have to connect to an external server (on my net connection this unlikely to support more than 3-4 players...)
An external server can be setup for about £8 a month for 16 players(which would be no problem, i'd pay for one just for the weekend) however I have no experience with this so do not know what control that would give me over game modes/ map sizes/ password protection etc etc.
DICE have not released any public server software for this game so we cannot setup our own, we need a proper ranked server from a reputable company.
There is 1 big advantage to this, you'd all get weapon unlocks etc as we played over the weekend, & I could use all the ones I already have (i.e. all of them!)
