The developers have also removed the SecuROM protection from the Steam version, as it doesn’t have a disc and is thus altogether pointless.
Instead the Steam version of Bad Company 2 will just use the Valve DRM method instead, which makes sense seeing as how it’s on Steam and all. There are still problems graphically with the game for some and it does need some more UI tweaks…
Overall DICE has taken a step in the right direction and hopefully they’ll get round to adding more server filters options, as well as better server capacity support soon enough. Have you been enjoying the company of Battlefield’s latest?
