Gamer.tv special for the latest game in the Battlefield series, Battlefield: Bad Company. Includes an in-depth look at the new game as well as a tour of the DICE studio and look back at the titles that have formed the Battlefield series.
Planet Battlefield writes: "The video is packed full of footage some new, some old, and a short history of the Battlefield franchise (6:30), even talking about Codename Eagle and numerous interviews with DICE devs. The end of the video discusses the Gold Rush game mode (19:30), one journalist even comparing it to Frontlines: Fuel of War.
The most interesting part I found was the tour of DICE studios (13:00) in Stockholm, Sweden. 280 people from 15 different countries work at DICE. At around 13:57 you will even see Battlefield: Heroes on the computers in one of their game rooms. Aside from the wall of microwaves, DICE store, the scattered caffeine filled coffee makers, and the large fish tank, the one thing that caught my eye were these areas marked off with caution tape and stop signs. What type of secret projects lay in these areas? Battlefield 3? Who knows?"
With the franchise’s mainline entries failing to find their footing in recent years, now is the perfect time for a Battlefield: Bad Company remake.
Of course there is no counter argument. This is what fans of the franchise have wanted for years. This and/or BF Bad Company 2.
When asked why there hasn't been another Bad Company:
“There's one thing that lingers with Bad Company that we've been asking ourselves: What is it that the people really liked about Bad Company?" DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson told Eurogamer.
Troedsson says that he and his team can’t put their fingers on what it is that people loved about that branch of the brand. “It's hard for people to articulate what that is, which is actually hard for us,” he says. “It would be hard to remake something like that. Can we do it? Of course. We have our theories when it comes to the multiplayer."

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."
This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.
Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game
With this multiplayer experiment going every way but right, it's time for Battlefield to return to what made it so great - a fun single player mode coupled with classic multiplayer.
BF is dead especially after this abysmal release.. what have EA done to this beloved franchise.. it’s really upsetting they are so far disconnected from what the actual fans want from this series.. such a same
If they would of made BC3 and stuck to the same formula as BC2 but gave it the next gen treatment it would of been a massive hit
Thing is i dont think they're capable of capturing what made those fun/different anymore.
EA knows players want BC3 the same way Activision knows players want MW2 back. They will not make it because the goal is to make games built around MTX and Battle Royale.
interesting title in the horizon. far cry 2 will give this game good competition.
both, single and multiplayer. and both have some innovations, good ones.
Day 1 purchase...
looking real good
Far Cry 2, Battlefield or Haze? Tough choices coming up soon.
