Bad Company 2 Server List for PC confirmed!

I have high hopes and great expectations for Bad Company 2 for PC. Honestly, I probably set the bar a bit too high so, as more and more info trickles down to us underlings known as gamers, I've been getting snubbed left and right. No prone. No modding on day one. After much deliberation, the ...
