    Awesome, really looking forward to this. Hopefully a Gold Edition will be released as well.

    Can't wait for Battlefield Bad Company 2, I loved the first one. Sure it had few faults and the multiplayer wasn't great (unusual for a Battlefield game) but it was bags of fun with some really interesting and fun characters. Now which platform should I get it on? PS3 or PC? Decisions decisions...

  • wizlon #3 3 years ago

    I played the demo and loved it (the destruction was particularly satisfying) but I never bought it. Was almost tempted to get it from G.O.D. but decided that MS didn't deserve my attention for their shoddy, overpriced online store, anyway, I like boxes!!

    Blimey a rare case of sensible publishing. Avoid getting lost in the xmas rush and avoid Mw2.

  • BabyJesus #5 3 years ago

    Going to be awesome.

    @svd_grasshopper I'm not saying that B:BF's multiplay was bad, just not as good as I was expecting. Although it was better than CoD4 in my opinion (I can feel those downvotes coming my way). I would have liked it better if it was closer to something like Enemy Territory Quake Wars.

  • chessboxer #7 3 years ago

    Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Enemy Territory Quake Wars was awful, but I too enjoyed Bad Company more than COD4, in both single player and multiplayer.

  • bratmandu #8 3 years ago

    I'd buy this before COD:6:MW:2!

    Medic class gets shock paddles to bring team mates back to life - WIN!

    Blackhawk choppers that carry a pilot, two gunners and 4 passengers - WIN!

    More destructible scenery - WIN!

    Parachutes back in - WIN!

    I don't know if I can wait till March. Ah well, it'll give me time to finish a load of other games first - lord knows once this is out, there will be no other games for me.

  • Olemak #9 3 years ago

    Hah! I read the headline as "Battelfield: Before Christ 2", nw that would be an interesting departure from routine for the series :D

  • ChaK #10 3 years ago

    pleasre please pleaseeeeeeeee don't shit that one on PC.

    I just can't wait for a new BF on computer. I played the first on ps3, and that was cool, but got bored of the pad (no flame war intended)

  • sjmlondon #11 3 years ago

    The first Bad Company was excellent. Entertaining campaign and excellent mulitplayer despite the camping snipers.

    Really looking forward to this one. Oh I'm going to get the gold edition this time. Not missing out on some decent guns up front for a extra fiver.

  • SFG_Clan #12 3 years ago

    Looking forward to it!

  • MinerWilly #13 3 years ago
