It's only taken a week for the BFBC2 beta to move ahead of Battlefield 2 in the Xfire rankings. BF2 has been in the top 6-7 at Xfire since its the game's launch way back in June 2005. Not anymore. According to Xfire's stats, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was the sixth most played game they track and BF2 was down at number 10. When I checked late last week BF2 was in the sixth spot with BFBC2 beta nowhere to be seen.

It's remarkable that a game in a more-or-less limited beta can already be played more minutes than the ever-popular BF2 that has sold millions of units and has been a mainstay for years with gamers. While we wait for EA to release a formal sequel to Battlefield 2, it looks like the BF torch is being passed to BFBC2 by the fans of the game.

Now the question is when are they going to introduce a Karkand 2010 map for the game...


Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be released on March 2, 2010.
