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.

1.2 - it's TWO DIFFERENT GAME PEOPLE
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

1.5 - Agreed
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.

"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...

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.

@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.

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

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

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.

3.3 - Headline should be " DICE slaps IW in the FACE!!!"
"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.

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.

7.2 - Still a very good game
I've been watching alot of SP and MP gameplay on Justin.tv.

MW2 is still a very good game and an improvement over CoD4 on a whole. Just not a huge leap forward.

But after enjoying BC1 and Warhawk, can't be bothered with confined urban warfare with no vehicles and countless respawns.

Who are also about as annoying as anti-halo fanboys. I don't know whether it is your secret fetish that you don't want anyone to know about. I call them Strom Thurmonds. Your covering up your love of Halo, by bashing it. Your just like the people who drive lifted trucks (bros) to make up for your lack of penis size. Sp=(1/St). The equation applies for secret fanboys as well.

I'm a huge fan of both Call of Duty and Battlefield...

...but what you guys are doing is just pathetic.

I can't believe you're all ganging up on Infinity Ward just because they got popular all of a sudden.

I call it the Fall Out Boy affect. As soon as FOB got big, most of their fanbase left them because they were "too cool" to be listening to a band that got popular.

Obviously, it's happened before...that's just the one that's stood out most in my mind.

EDIT: Great responses. I still play BF2 religiously! The thing is...DICE has yet to show us they can make an outstanding single-player campaign as well as multi-player. The campaign in BFBC was pretty funny...but lacked depth. Of course, the same could be said of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Lols...one of the greatest movies of all-time, no?

The real problem is that some are mad because COD might receive the GOTY title and not UC2 or any PS3 exclusive.

as I can see on n4g most of the hate is coming from Ps3 fanboys.

It's funny also a number of people here I've seen praise BFBC2 were Pro-COD fans way back.

Classic pick the better side maneuver at fear of losing. Italy did it continuously.

I've always been Pro-Battlefield since BF2 on the PC. Pre-ordered BFBC.

Word.

IW is hated because they broke away from the norm because they think "it's better for the industry."

1. No dedicated servers = no COMMUNITY mods, maps, expansions, etc.
2. Price hike "just because we can" - FVCK THAT
3. No resets whereas others will be ranked = Just shows that don't give a sh!t what people think.
4. Kotick - all his retarded comments have fueled the rage within.

There's several others that I'm forgetting, but you can't call it pathetic because it's the truth.

Edit:
@Max Speed
If the case is that people are upset that this game is going to get GotY, that's plain silly. People should be upset over the reasons I listed.

@LeonSKennedy4Life - I hate IW because they took features out of the PC version and supported Activision when the price got raised, and that fact that people are actually defending that just blows my mind. I don't know about everybody else, but that's why I don't like them.

10.6 - True
The SP in BC1 was average. It didn't have the cool, epic moments of MW, due mainly to it's story premise. DICE needs to abandon the BC premise for something more serious.

Also, IW shows you don't need characters for a decent SP but if you are going to have them, don't make them stereotypes: token loud mouth black, the nerd, the red-neck clown, and the normal main character - whatever his name is.

I really don't like the weightless feeling you get when moving around on COD. I like the weighted down feeling in Battlefield. It's not too heavy so that you feel too bulky but you also don't feel like a naked guy with a gun.
