DICE has released a list of known issues the developer is currently investigating for Battlefield Bad Company 2
Dozens of issues are outlined, including disconnect issues, log-in problems, the lack of a screenshot feature, dead pixels and many other issues both big and small.
Chun-cha the caterpillar
Chun-cha was looking for a friend to play with, along came another caterpillar that was looking for a friend also. Chun-cha asked “what’s your name?” “Um um I don’t know said the other caterpillar.
The other caterpillar was sad that he lost his memory. So Chun-cha tried to cheer him up, but it never worked. Chun-cha tried something different, she wanted to take the caterpillar to the Wizard of Wishes, and the other caterpillar wanted to go. They took a long journey to the Wizard of Wishes.
When they went through the woods on their way a giant bee soared down and snatched the other caterpillar, but not Chun-cha. Chun-cha went to the bees nest before they ate him alive. Chun-cha very nicely asked “May I please have my friend back?” the bees replied “Ok I guess, I did take your friend, I’m sorry, can you guys forgive me?” Chun-cha replied, “sure only if you give us a ride to the Wizard of Wishes.
They were on their way to the Wizard of Wishes. When they arrived Chun-cha said “please give my friend his memory back.” The Wizard replied “I sure will!”
The End
Happily ever after

While the core of the dev team here at DICE as well as all the back-end teams at EA are 110% focused on stabilizing the game experience we do have some other, great news to reveal. Today we’re happy to announce the release date of the second VIP map package for Battlefield: Bad Company 2! It will be made available on the 30th of March on all platforms at no extra cost to all of you who’ve got your VIP codes entered in the game.
Valve announced today it will bring Steam, Valve’s gaming service, and Source, Valve’s gaming engine, to the Mac.
Steam and Valve’s library of games including Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Counter-Strike, Portal, and the Half-Life series will be available in April.
Im sure this case would not be every ones cup of tea but I like it little on the pricey side
