EA Says Infinity Ward Is Welcome To Copy Us

Battlefield: BAD COMPANY 2 is picking up alot of momentum and recognition in the game industry since the release of part one.

Since competition makes for better games it seems like Infinity Ward has now met it's match.

There's things going on in Bad Company 2 that's not present in Modern Warfare and one of these features is based on the online activity that EA is bringing to Bad Company 2.

In my opinion BC is better fun online than COD cause theres so much freedom with the way the maps are layed out and theres so much crazy sh*t you can do in it.

Call in a helicopter in COD4 to get you some free kills while your probably dead? Nah id rather drive the helicopter myself into the enemy base and parachute out throwing grenades and shotting at what i could, lol i would probably get killed but its way more fun.

snipermk05281d ago

Any idea why HHG carries a gay replica WWE belt around?

hakeem09965281d ago

MW2 is all about urban warfare that's why you got the small maps ,with lots of house and places to hide .URBAN WARFARE
WHILE
BAD COMPANY 2 is a full fledged war zone ,tht why u got vehicles,destructible environments, big maps and chaos because it's all about putting you in a WARZONE.

i don't reALLY get how everyone want them to be alike that's just stupid bcz we all know tht if they were, all of you would be b!tching about how all FPS look and play the same

ANYWAY I'LL ENJOYING BOTH OF THEM CAUSE THAT'S WHAT REALLY GAMERS DO

DUMMIES

Really good comment for someone that only has 3 bubbles!

Sitris5281d ago

Bubble up mate :) great comment i will be picking up both games and MAG when they release for Ps3 yay it's good to PLAY games not bi*ch about them lol

Fully usable vehicles meant maps on the whole where larger. Absolutely hated the small maps that had no vehicles or not tank and copter.

The larger maps also gave more time and options to achieve game objectives.

DICE now just needs to abandon the BC characters for more serious/cooler guys/gals and work on a slick, fun SP mode....as well as bring in more MP modes such as Last man, TDM and capture the flag/intel/prototype.

G3TDOWN5281d ago

I had more fun with BC but I liked MW more....

I don't know why ! but BC was more fun but I played MW more, it was more addicting

I will still buy MW2

Simon_Brezhnev5281d ago

Killzone and Bad Company series are probably going to be the only FPS i play for a while.

nix5281d ago

ah.. i can't get over how i used to enjoy Warhawk. they have everything.. and the best part is - 32 players and huge freaking maps!

Ninji5281d ago

So he can feel like he has accomplished something in his life.

Godmars2905281d ago

Is that why a demo movie shows a fight around a crashed transport in the desert?

PinkUni5281d ago

the move from past genere to modern combat

creating iron sights and being able to prone

the sprinting mechanic

people dont give dice any credit lol

AKNAA5281d ago

"MW2 is all about urban warfare that's why you got the small maps ,with lots of house and places to hide .URBAN WARFARE "

I'm pretty sure that when it comes to warfare, there are no invisible walls or restrictions as to where you can go when your in a war zone.." yo! don't go pass that house man, we're in an urban war zone! keep within head shot range!"

and all this time I thought "Modern" meant "current" or "up to date"??
Silly me...

NaiNaiNai5281d ago

I wonder why HHG won't reply to your question?

DaTruth5281d ago

Before I get all hyped for this, I want to see some console gaming. The other day it suddenly occurred to me that all the vids could be PC version and the console version might not stack up!

ABizzel15281d ago

I'm getting shooter fatigued. I'm renting Modern Warfare 2, and I pre-ordered BBC2 for the PS3 so I can get in on the beta to see if I want to buy both games.

albert_2755281d ago

@DaTruth
On the official forums, it's been confirmed that every media on BFBC2 we've seen was from the 360 version (apparently, the PC version is not running at full steam yet) - even the trailers, which were confirmed to be running on a juiced up 360 version with AA and all that.

Pandamobile5280d ago

The trailers were recorded from the PC version. All the gameplay shown is from the 360 version, and the beta footage from PS3.

is sounding like its gonna be waaay better than mw2...but i'll be getting both either way!

egm_hiphopgamer5281d ago

for those who haven't played this game yet the moment you pick up the controller man you will be owned by BAD COMPANY 2. it's truly the future, modern warfare is still insane though that's a great game but bad company just goes even further oh my god next year is going to be killer

Serjikal_Strike5281d ago

at it next week if im not mistaken...to play in the beta...man i'm ready for that!

TenSteps5281d ago

Because from just a viewers standpoint they're awesome, the beta is my most anticipated thing for the rest of the year.

BFBC2 might be the only FPS I'll get next year.

toaster5281d ago

"and since competition makes for better games it seems like Infinity Ward has now met it’s match."

More like met it's maker. Battlefield defined modern warfare back in what, 2005? It took IW 2 years to figure that out. Don't get me wrong, I love CoD4 but MW2 seems like a step backwards in the franchise.

CaptainKratos5281d ago (Edited 5281d ago )

:o This game...will be EPIC!

what did the five fingers say to the face? SLAP!!!

Sarcasm5281d ago

Since they are TWO DIFFERENT GAMES it doesn't hurt to just get both. They are quite different in terms of game play enough so that it doesn't feel the same switching from one to the other. Despite the recent comments from IW and Activision, MW2 is still going to be kick @$$. I'm getting both.

Noctis Aftermath5281d ago

Great to see someone talking to the people who make the games, and not having to read an article about it.

btw do you know of anyway to get into the beta for people in australia? or outside of the US in general?

W-k5280d ago

good show hip hop gamer,I actually enjoyed this one told me a lot of things i wanted to know about this game,only one thing i would have liked to know is how to get in the ps3 beta i still have no idea

20 Amazing Games That Have Completely Disappeared From Storefronts

Cultured Vultures: In the spirit of preserving some kind of history of this industry, we’ve decided to list some of the best games that you just simply can’t get hold of digitally at the minute.

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga62d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics62d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend61d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long62d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons62d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor62d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5261d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60261d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv7262d ago

Outrun Online Arcade, Sega Rally Online Arcade, After Burner Climax... all good stuff. I keep my 360 hooked up to play these as well as the TMNT games that were also delisted.

Skuletor62d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B62d ago (Edited 62d ago )

wow...I have all of them except the Nintendo ones either in physical or digital version.

Also..Deadpool the Game is missing on that list.

EA’s best multiplayer games have now shut down for good

Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.

OtterX136d ago

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

SonyStyled136d ago

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa136d ago

BF1943 is the only online MP game that I was genuinely interested in. Been playing since launch 14 years ago. Hate that I couldn't put in as much time to play as I'd hoped for during the final week.

Inverno136d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac135d ago (Edited 135d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast135d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial135d ago

Dead Space 2 multiplayer had been hanging on for years - I'd boot my PS3 up to see some familiar names in lobbies. This will definitely be missed!

Battlefield Legacy - Sunsetting Announcement

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."

darthv72400d ago

This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.

XiNatsuDragnel400d ago

Digital future ppl is good they say nope imo

Eidolon400d ago

And it still says nothing about being able to downloaded even when it's off the storefront, that's a huge ouchie for some who somehow still have it in their backlog...

Shane Kim400d ago

Dont make it an issue when it's not. If you haven't played it in 15 years, chances are you'll never play it.

isarai400d ago

That all digital future sure looks great!

/s

zidane1341400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

Online game servers shut off eventually all the time. Doesn’t matter if you have the disc or not. Even if you have the disc, it’ll be just paperweight unless the game lets you connect directly to a friend or LAN play.

isarai400d ago (Edited 400d ago )

Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.

zidane1341400d ago

@israrai, you can still buy the disc for less then 10$. Hardly a loss.

TheEnigma313400d ago

You shouldn't have to buy the disc, that's the issue.

OhReginald399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

Some brilliant minds created servers to keep these old online games alive. A lot of ps2 and ps3 games that had there servers shut down a long time ago have been restored by fans to keep it going. Warhawk, killzone 2, socom 2/ confrontation, resident evil outbreak series, etc.

DankSinatra399d ago

The disc still exist. I don’t understand the issue. You guys are upset about that “all digital future” yet these games are not “digital only”. Hell digital only is a minority in the gaming world and so far we haven’t moved into it, the only digital only games are games as a service or online only games, which end up failing in the end.

This is no different than a store that stops selling old games, just go and buy a copy somewhere else. So which is it, you hate all digital or you like it? Make up your mind.

isarai399d ago

Talk about missing the point entirely. I'm not going to sit here and explain it to you, figure it out.

DankSinatra399d ago

Talk about whining about something and not wanting to explain from an off handed sarcastic original comment.

I got the point just fine. You’re literally complaining about something that has an easy alternative to it.

ManMarmalade399d ago

I don't think you got the point

DankSinatra399d ago (Edited 399d ago )

@ManMarmalade

No I got it, it has to do with the push towards a future of all digital and reprocussions of losing games. Something I already stayed that hasn’t happened nor is it large enough right now to cause any issues as the games that are all digital are online only to begin with or make up the minority of games

So I’ll say it again, the disc still exists for these games that are over a decade old and can still be played easily. You guys are contradicting the whole “we don’t want a digital only future” crying when the dude I originally responded to stated:

“Read the article bro. They are delisting the games, including mirrors edge which is an offline game. Online servers i can understand, not being able to buy/download the games anymore? Completely separate issue, especially seeing as how some these games had lengthy sp campaigns and not just mp.“

So again, which is it? Do you hate all digital or do you want it?

Inverno400d ago

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.

badz149400d ago

BFBC2 was still the best overall package offered by the franchise so far IMO

porkChop400d ago

Absolutely. BC2 was such a great game. It's a shame we never got BC3.

P_Bomb399d ago

I had a great run on Bad Company 2. Pound for pound, as solid a BF package as there’s been.

InUrFoxHole400d ago

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

SonyStyled400d ago

The last BC you mean? I was still able to find 10v10 on ps3 2 years ago on NA servers during the evenings. I have all the free and paid dlc installed, but there want any matches in the Vietnam dlc.
