No it doesn't, it sees it as an dumbed down console experience. Battlefield 2 was bigger and better than BBC 1 or 2. PC community is waiting for BC3, which will be hopefully PC exclusive. Still it's better PC experience than MW2, that's why BBC2 sold more on PC than MW2. |
Basically this is a tl;dr version of what I said. Dumbed down console experience on the PC. Here is why they never released BC1 on the PC, direct link from the developer:
"t's not a shift in focus, but more like somewhere we wanted to explore. I think what happened was, consoles have reached a level where we could introduce people to something we had been giving to PC players for quite a while. It was an exciting opportunity. So we really focused on that. There are more expectations of us, for the PC game. It almost kind of makes you weary, you get nervous, you put these unrealistic expectations on yourself as a developer. You forget that the whole premise is to get something out there that's really fun. We realized that BC2 was going to provide that. We have a lot to live up to on the PC, and I think the original Bad Company's focus was to kind of...reintroduce Battlefield to a new audience on the console. BC2 is like, maybe in retrospect, we could have given BC1 to the PC but we didn't. We didn't feel like it was worth it to go back and try and do that, but we thought, "Well, let's give them BC2." It lived up to expectations, I think, what PC players were expecting. Especially for a new engine."
Or to summarize, PC gamers have far higher standards and console gamers have almost no standards at all. Here is a link to the interview, it's the first question:
