Battlefield Bad Company 2 is a squad combat-style first person shooter. Even though single player game play is engrossing and exciting, players being able to control tanks, helicopters, and ATVs as well as launch grenades and fire their huge array of deadly weapons straight from the hip, still nothing compares to online multi-player mode. In multi-player mode you can choose to be part of any one of the four classes, Recon, Engineer, Assault, and Medic. Each class is an essential part of the squad, and each one levels up and grows in experience and training as a separate unit. There is nothing like working together from all corners of the world to repel a deadly foreign invasion.

Setting up a Battlefield Bad Company 2 VPS game server is slightly different than setting up a VPS server for most other online multi-player games. The manufacturers of the game have chosen not to allow private game server VPS hosts for Battlefield Bad Company 2. In order to protect the integrity of their precious creation, they have made it so that people wishing to set up their own Battlefield Bad Company 2 VPS game server must rent their server directly from a host authorized by DICE, the game’s manufacturers.

Although this strategy has its drawbacks, it also has quite a few benefits. One drawback is that there is a lot less variety and creativity among servers for this game. All game server VPS Hosting providers must follow a strict set of rules put in place by the manufacturer, and online multi-player game play is more strictly regulated than many other games.

A huge benefit, however, is that if you want to set up your own server, you don’t have to worry about having the right specs or installing the right files. Since all the servers available to host Battlefield Bad Company 2 must be pre-approved by DICE, you can be sure that they will have plenty of speed and hard disk space, a fast CPU, and the right operating system. All DICE authorized hosts also already have all the installation files needed to run the game. All you need to bring to the table is a registered copy of the game.

The game’s manufacturers have done everything in their power to make sure that there are good authorized hosts available in your area, no matter where in the world you are located. The cost of renting one of these hosts is not greater than usual as DICE will not be making any profit off their hosts.
