If you buy the steam copy, its auto updated, and you can reload it on to your system if you reformat your machine or buy a new one.

Steam is the way to go!

I'd go Steam as well, unfortunately the friend-join-game feature doesn't work with Steam, so you still have add them to your BFBC2 friend's list (inside the game) to join them, but it works well.

If you purchase through Steam you can redownload the game either from Steam or Origin.

Boxed copy from Walmart relies on your DVD. However, you can upload your CD key to Origin and redownload the game as often as you'd like.

steam is pretty darn good. I'd get it on Steam.

dont listen to them.

if you buy the disk them you will ALWAYS have it "even if you somehow manae to loose internet.

you can install from disk & get everything that the steam version gives you. also when you install from disk it gives you the option of useing the disk to ofenticate of online "disk means you need the disk in dvd to play"

side note,

Unless, you know, somehow the disk gets scratched or lost. If you don't have internet then how much are you going to accomplish with BC2 besides playing the campaign for the umpeenth time?

I'm not sure about EA's policy with game ownership, but Steam (as far as I know) has no plans to delete the games that they offer to the users that has purchased them.
