BF: Bad Company 2 has WWII level News • News • Eurogamer.net

News PC Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

It Tokyo to Japan, briefly.

DICE is sneaking a Japan-based World War II level into Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

That's according to an ESRB rating for the game, which read: "In single-player mode, players conduct missions on an unnamed Japanese island during World War II and then move into the modern day through jungles, deserts and snowy terrain."

We heard last year that various weaponry from Battlefield 1943 would be supported in BFBC2.

These discoveries may point to no more than a scene-setting flashback. EA may also be testing the waters for a Call of Duty: World at War-like romp.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be released on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 on 5th March.

Eurogamer days late....AGAIN

Looking forward to the game and think a WWII start could be a really cool idea and maybe show off future DLC

Demo is great and 100% buy for me

Not that big a surprise I guess as there a couple of WWII weapons in the game that you can spot in the demo

Yep, sorry we missed this the other day. We don't work over the weekend so catching up has to be done on Monday.

Do please email me either directly or <a type="int" href="http://www.eurog amer.net/contact.php">through the website</a> if you've spotted a story that's not covered on EG. I might even kiss you. Or hug. Depends on familiarity/setting/wine.

Testing the waters? For what? Surely BF1943, despite being an insulting, heartrendingly dumbed down retread of the best levels from BF1942 (albeit with half the good stuff removed) was a resounding success and proved that people, in fact, do still like the occasional WW2 game?

I' m very disappointed with this one.Definately the worst BF ever.The series trademark teamwork and open gameplay is gone for a fragfest that crammes players in small sections of bottleneck design maps.

Not unless the main character you play in single player is 80 years old it doesn't!

You basically said "old" but stretched it out. So yeah, useless.

"- marks for saying its old news? "

As this is the only gaming site I look at (I'm too busy with my kids and job to be trawling though any more), then this was NOT old news to me (and I'm guessing many other visitors, so you comment was completely pointless, hence the down vote.

If you have seen the news already there is no need to re-read it and definitely no need to make comments like that.
