Yeah, it's nowhere near as good if you don't talk. Strangely enough though, I haven't noticed many annoying little kids. A lot of more mature adults seem to play this game.

I've never played any of the BF: Bad Company games, but I think they have different gameplay than BF2 and BF3. BF2 (and I assume BF3) are based on teamwork and squadwork. You need a commander to give UAV support, artillery support, supply drops, vehicle drops, direct squad leaders, and direct pilots and airstrikes. Then you have individual squads of 5 that require a smart leader plus an appropriate mix of kit types. It's not a game that is a whole lot of fun if you just jump in and try to run off by yourself and shoot people. I think BC2 is more of a traditional shooter.

It won't look as good nor will it run as smooth on the 360, but it's still going to be mindblowingly good.

Ungh!

Can't. ****ing. Wait.

Kraus, my IRL friend and I can usually carry the whole team with our 3-man squad alone in BC2, you can play with us if you want. It's a good time, man.

Playing it on PC will definitely be a really nice experience, though.
