Picked up Bad Company 2

That DoW collection is an amazing price. If I didn't own them all already I would be all over that.

Picked up BC2. Can't find the serial key though...

EDIT: Got it. It took about 30 minutes for it to to show on Impulse

Thanks for the heads up. How reliable is impulse?

Picked up my BC2, great price, digital deluxe edition 2 and you can Activate it in EA download Manager, so don't even worry about impulse, grab the CD Key from the Impulse download and move that over to EA

Hmm that is weird. If they didn't send you an email with your key you should be able to right click on the game in the Impulse client and click "View Registration".

I have ~25 games with them and no complaints so far. I believe you can register BC2 with EADM as well.

Awful question but can u do BC2 on steam?

Can this BC2 be tied in with Steam?

/edit: KansasFF beat me too it.

BC2 does not use Steamworks and is not on the retail cd key list so I'm pretty sure you cannot activate it on Steam.

I was going to ask about BC2 Steam, too. Oh well.

Thanks for the answer. From that link I noticed I can still add the game to Steam, just not play it through Steam's interface and such.

Now the next question, how would I go about on getting DLC for this version of the game?

Yes technically almost any game can be added to Steam as a "non-steam game" which will enable the steam community in game (chat, friends list). But you wont get any of the other steamworks features (downloading the game from steam, automatic updates, etc.) that comes with activating a game on Steam.

I assume you would get DLC for this version just like you would for the retail disc version through the EA Store/EA Download Manager.

Cool stuff Xealot42! Thanks for the answers and for posting the deal.

Thanks I downloaded it from EA. I don't plan on using impulse, so thanks again.

The Vietnam expansion is attached to your account, not your game. You can only buy it from EA's website. They have run a couple sales on it, so it's likely they will again in the future.

What does the digital deluxe edition include? Anyone know?

EDIT: I ask because according to every website I've found it on, it includes Vietnam. Is this not true? If it's true, this deal is insanely good since you can redeem your code as that edition in EADM.

I thought that it did, but I'll let you know once I finish downloading it from EADM.

Thanks, if I finish before you (doubtful) I'll post back here with info as well.

Good to see Impulse stepping up the deals. I own just 5 games with them, but so far, so good.
