I'm going to keep an eye on this, saw someone waxing lyrical about this on the forum and it appears to be a Warhawk in FPS view from what I understand... as far as tactics goes.

Is it me or are they a bit silly releasing 3 battlefields so close together?
or are they spacing them out a fair bit.

As a fan of the series though im not complaining if they are as good as the ones i've played.

must be tough knowing your game will be coming out alongside Modern Warfare 2....

Oh shit, modern warfare 2. It's a shame the game probably won't sell as well because of that. I'll be getting both anyway, as i think Modern warefare 1 is over rated imo. So the change of gameplay between the 2 games will hopefully mean i won't get as bored.

A buy for me as I loved the first BC online. The destructibility although limited to an extent really opened the game up in comparison to other on-line FPS’s.

It also sounds like they know what the issues are with single player AI and so the single player might be a bit more worthwhile this time.

This is what I was thinking. 3 at once? Good grief, and some people complain about MS milking the Halo franchise.

@roz123: Battlefield Heroes, Battlefield 1943, Battlefield 3 and Battlefield Bad Company 2. So, four Battlefield games.

:D

A friend of mine won't stop going on about this in multiplayer - Even while showing him KZ2. I had to ban him! :D

"DICE is also looking at ways to make it easier to hook up with your friends"

Considering BF:BC was pretty much broken for anyone with a friends list, this is good news. Then again, as it was completely impossible to organise a friends-only squad in the original, making it almost impossible in the sequel would satisfy their definition of "easier".

DICE's first single player game was Codename: Eagle and it was a bit poo because it clearly wasn't designed to be a single player game but it was reviewed as one.

What do you mean widge, it appears to be a Warhawk in FPS?
Maybe it's a battlefield in a long line of other battlefields, all of them doing all this tactics stuff from pretty much day one.

Kinda - slightly smaller but more detailed. Less flying too.

"It's almost like you take the guys from Three Kings and you throw them into a Tom Clancy scenario,"

At first pass, that sounds like a great way to go about ruining one of the best things about the original Bad Company; it wasn't too serious. I don't need another po-faced war shooter, thank you very much.

I think BC managed to do just about everything right, the graphics were amazing, the characters funny and the action nonstop. Plus I loved that it didn't have infinitely spawning enemies like CoD. Even though this'll be coming out around the same time as Modern Warfare 2 I know which game I'll be getting; CoD is great, but BC is just better

Three Battlefield games announced but everyone is waiting for Battlefield 3 (on PC of course), that must be tough on the devs.

So right! However, since the publisher for BC is EA, it does not come as a complete surprise as EA does not allowed its developer time and patience to develop a decent game. Fact. Not long ago I read an article where EA CEO (Riticciello) sort of complain about the fact that EA has not many cult games (in comparison to the amount of games they release - EA is currently the 2nd biggest publisher after Activision).

For this generation of consoles its easy to notice that the best games released so far (i.e.: GTA, HALO3, GOW2, KZ2, MGS4) have taken developers an average of 4 years to make. Now tell me, which game published by EA was given this long? Apart from Crysis (which is not even for consoles) and maybe Dead Space - EA games are superficial soulless crap.

This policy of milking as much and as often as possible has its price.


The idea of having a profited oriented company such as EA taken over Rockstar is cause for concern as the consenquences are certain. Instead of having an amazing GTA every 3 to 4 years EA will make it one every 6 months .. lol hehe

Typical american Mricrosoft like type of company - only interest in money not in quality.
said it.

I prefer the multiplayer in CoD but I loved the single player campaign in BC. I hope the next one is the same length.

Outstanding first game apart from the AI. Multiplayer was just superb. Harvest time for the win.

I thought BF: BC 1 was pretty good fun all-in-all. Amusing single-player, good characterisation. The multiplayer was fun, too - I still play it now and again: mostly for the fun of razzing it about in vehicles and crushing poor Jimmy62 under my wheels. The destruction tech was pretty limited, but it did provide a bit of dynamism - and the trade-off in terms of gameplay and level design was pretty understandable. Bad Company wasn't a classic, but it was bloody good fun in small doses, so I look forward to BF: BC2!
