DICE puts it back on the radar.

DICE has revealed that delayed war title Battlefield: Bad Company is now aiming for a summer release.

Senior producer Karl Magnum aired the news on the latest Major Nelson podcast, but said he could offer nothing more specific at the moment.

Earlier this year EA South Africa revealed that it had pushed the title back to June, shortly before EA boss John Riccitiello publicly moved Battlefield: Bad Company and Mercenaries 2 into fiscal 2009.

He said it would both would offer better consumer experiences with a bit of "additional polish".

Battlefield: Bad Company is a single-player-focused instalment in the war series.

The story sees you trapped behind enemy lines where you will embark on a quest for gold and revenge.

We were promised a deep and cinematic experience full of dark humour and lots of destructible environments, but little has been heard since.

Hey guys, FYI there's a great search engine/website thingymygig called Google. If you want something confirmed, you just use it to hunt for other stories on the web to back up what you read - there are even official websites telling you for example, if a game is multiplayer or not. It's really neat.

single player focused. i guess it means this time they actually put an ounce of effort into SP as opposed to none, like the previous installments. the longevity is in multiplayer, always has, and always will be. i doubt they would overlook that.
