Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Where did this come from? Still love the first game (When the servers decide to play nice) really can't wait for this!

.....Also looking at the pics could they really have modern & WWII style combat in the same game?

Wake!!!!

Looks a bit more cartoonish than the first game, but still very pretty.

I really enjoyed the SP of Bad Company, so hopefully they will push even further with that.

the render of the snow place looks lovely

hmm BF:1943 screenshot by mistake?

Isn't that the Iwo Jima map from BF 1942?

Yeah these are BF: 1943 screenshots, a new downloadable marketplace/PSN/PC game:

February 5, 2009 – DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc studio (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced the development of Battlefield: Bad Company 2™, the sequel to last year’s blockbuster title. In this installment, the Bad Company crew again find themselves in the heart of the action, where they must use every weapon and vehicle at their disposal to survive. The action unfolds with unprecedented intensity, introducing a level of fervor to vehicular warfare never before experienced in a modern warfare action game. To get ready for the assault this winter, players can prepare for action in Battlefield 1943™, an all-new multiplayer game available this summer via PlayStation®Store, Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace and on the PC.

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the ‘B’ company fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages. With a heavy arsenal of deadly weapons and a slew of vehicles to aid them, the crew set off on their mission and they are ready to blow up, shoot down, blast through, wipe out and utterly destroy anything that gets in their way. Total destruction is the name of the game, delivered as only the DICE next generation Frostbite™ engine can. Either online or offline, enemies will soon learn there is nowhere to hide. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the PC.

Using the same Frostbite™ engine, Battlefield 1943 takes players back to WWII. The game offers endless hours of 24 player multiplayer action over three classic and tropic locations; Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Delivering the award-winning through-the-gun and vehicle warfare online experience DICE is best recognized for, Battlefield 1943 will have players battling in ruthless aerial dog fights and intense trench combat. Players can see the game in action at New York Comic Con (Booth #1441) from February 6th-8th.

“Bad Company 2 takes everything that players liked in the original and ups the ante – more vehicles, more destruction and more team play,” said Karl Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer Battlefield Franchise, DICE. “Battlefield 1943 is a new take on a blast from the past classic coming to life with brand new technology that we’re eager to get into players hands.”

Presumably EG will do a news article on it shortly.

Bad Company 2 takes everything that players liked in the original and ups the ante

How about more FPS on the 360 - frostbite engine looks great in stills - but not so hot when moving.

EDIT: - obviously I am referring to Frames Per Second.

Great news.

Lets hope they have trophies that are ACTUALLY FUCKING POSSIBLE TO COMPLETE.

Never gonna get my platinum.

They fucked up the comms for BF:MC.

They fucked up the squad system for BF:BC.

Wonder what essential part of squad-based combat they will fuck up this time.
