The Asus Eee PC 1015PN’s Magna Opus: Playing Battlefield: Bad Company 2
NB: Tested on an ION 2 netbook.
Can’t believe it? Well, it’s real. This is a screenshot taken from my Asus Eee PC 1015PN. Unfortunately the truth is that BF:BC2 plays terribly. At 10fps, and a lack of processing power causing my ping to hit 400-600ms, the truth is that you’re better off staying away from Bad Company.
Although people who have the 16-core ION 2 present in larger netbooks generally have a better experience, but on the 1015PN, unless you seriously overclock your netbook, you’re not likely to reach anywhere near playable frame rates.
Also, the fact that BF:BC2 requires a 1024×768 screen minimum doesn’t help things. Perhaps if you could find some hack that allowed you to run at 640×480, then maybe it’ll be playable. So far, I haven’t found any, but if you do, please contact me!
It seems that you can actually download the game off Origin, which is EA Games’ Steam-alike service. You just need a CD key, and then you’ll be able to download the 8GB worth of Bad Company.
