Here a news post and the original blog detailing the DRM for BFBC2 PC. Sounds reasonable to me, especially in the light of ubisoft's idea (...I hope it's not a repost).

Hello,

thanks for posting this here - this is undoubtably a good idea. I only think that UBIsoft will not like it, because they want to introduce their pay-per-play method sooner or later, like in "World of Warcraft" - and this only works with being online (not that there may not be other methods, like sending info now and then on how long you played, even offline ...).
I highly mistrust UBI for their DRM model being an "anti-piracy" measure.

Thanks and greetings,
Catfish

This is a DRM I could put up with; refreshing to find a publisher taking on the concerns of the buying public and addressing them. Shame on the others, "RoF" for example has offered a half baked barely adequate solution, they tried I guess, but the compromise wasn't quite the 'come in the water's lovely' gesture most potential buyers would be tempted by.

Regards Mort

Im playing BFBC2 and have no problems with EA DRM solution so far.
