Bad Company 2 Alt Servers/Rank Transfer - Post-Shutdown

[Blashted™]

*IT'S OFFICIAL: BC2 EA SERVERS HAVE CEASED OPERATION AS OF 5PM ET 12/8/23*

Many are not aware that while BC2 will die a sad death on console, the PC version will live on via Project Rome. It is essentially alternate servers that will ensure Bad Company 2 lives on forever and does not rely on EA. See the links below for more information on getting this set up. RIP to Bad Company 1 and Battlefield 1943 which will be lost to time on 360 and PS3! It is as simple as placing the .dll file in your BC2 folder and registering for an account at https://veniceunleashed.net/signup to use for login in-game. Cheers!

Base Bad Company 2 and BC2: Vietnam DLC are supported, however it is up to the community to spin up more servers! Project Rome supports Steam, EA, and "Free" Versions.

Very nice, glad someone has found away to save it, and keep ALL the options of this game alive.

I just downloaded the fix and there are full servers!!!
I didn't know the EA overlords had shut BC2 down so this is awesome that we can still play.

See you on the battlefield

Great game so many years later

Most of the servers are 24/7 the same 1 or 2 maps. Tragic

That's what happens with old BF games. BF4 is the same 2 or 3 maps over and over as well and sadly not the good ones.

Yep, if I have to choose playing Heavy Metal in BC2 or Golmud Railway in BF4. I will just not play at all.
