I have encountered a major issue with Battlefield: Bad Company 2 when attempting to play it's mu
Basically, I bought Bad Company 2 because of it's native 3D support. So naturally I want to play the games multiplayer in 3D. To my surprise, every time I attempt to play a multiplayer game with 3D turned on, my game automatically goes from fullscreen to windowed mode. The problem with this, besides the game no longer being in fullscreen obviously, is that Nvidia 3D doesn't work while a game is windowed. Not only that, but nowhere, and I do mean absolutely nowhere, does the game ever give any option to play in either windowed or fullscreen. I looked all though the options menu, nothing. So basically, there's no way to turn it back, even after I quit the multiplayer game.
This is incredibly frustrating, and I feel completely ripped off by EA for doing this. The game is advertised as having native 3D support, it's native 3D support is the entire reason why I bought this game, and now I can't play the game in 3D? Talk about false advertising. The single player isn't good enough to keep my interest, even though it does work in 3D. The dumb teammate AI kills it's entertainment value. So I'm pissed, I just paid $50 for a new game just just to find out that I can't play it because it won't work as advertised.

I have this exact problem jj420, and it can be fixed by hitting alt+enter like BryanK1977 says. It does this the first time I load a multiplayer map, after that one time it can load any number of maps without exiting fullscreen.
Just launch the game without 3D enabled, find a server and enter it, the game will exit fullscreen, press Alt+Enter (sometimes i have to press it twice), select your load out and spawn, than enable 3D. After that one time the game should work perfectly if it's anything like mine.

Yup...hit alt and enter at the same time...I get the same issue. It's no biggie but I guess it is to people that aren't aware of the alt + enter command...spread the word! :)
