Well Medal of honor also made a comeback. Aparently it didn't had any differences from other FPSs.

0ut1awed3873d ago

No this is Bad Company. I've played every BF to date (including bf4) and BC2 is by far the best.

I really look forward to more info on this.

Kemistri3873d ago

@0ut1awed

I completely agree. Are people still playing BC2 online? I haven't had time to check.

joe903872d ago

I still play BC2 on PC, there is plenty of server and a few on the Veitnam DLC.

Bad company has characters tho I mean real characters I use to laugh my head of at some of the crap they said prob the best battlefield sp campaign to date was bad company 2

0ut1awed3873d ago

Yup they way the characters played off each other was fantastic.

hiredhelp3873d ago

Yeh i agree look battlefield series 1 2 3 and now 4 has its place That being i found it very differnt to bad company 2.
BC series was fun ALOT fun actually smaller maps well designed so your squad worked together even if you didnt know your team mates the way they designed the mp was great.
Destruction what can i say soo much better than bf unfortunatly i dont know why dice couldnt bring that to bf3 on the same scale. but hey.

I WANT BC3 love the comedy SP love the MP

GiggMan3872d ago

Multiplayer was awesome too. I spent almost as many hours in Bad Company MP than I did in Killzone 2.

xKugo3873d ago

Good. I would love to see a game that lives up to Bad Company 2's destruction because as of right now, the beta for BF4 is still lacking when compared to it. Would be interesting to see what Bad Company 3 would look like on my PC.

Ko_Uraki3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

IMO Bad Company was the best multiplatform fps for current generation. I hope that they'll return to its unique style. Bad Company 2 disappointed me.

HeyImBen113873d ago

Why? Yes maybe the bc2 campaign was worse than 1, but online was waay better.

Sam Fisher3873d ago

Vietnam was superb, it shouldve been a 20$ stand alone. My god it was soooo well balanced

Drummerdude413873d ago

Since when was bad company not doing awesome. If i recall the whole EA community including myself have been asking for bfbc3 way more than new battlefield games. Kinda like how the pc community have been asking for a new unreal game forever now and cliff keeps pumping gears games. Just my opinion but i still enjoyed bad company over bf.

0ut1awed3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

Cliff hasn't been with them for quite a while now...

But I agree with you on bc3. That is a game I want on my PC.

Drummerdude413873d ago

Really? I thought he just stopped coding. Was under the impression he still made managerial decisions.

Avernus3873d ago

I had allot more fun with BC2 than I did with BF3. The maps were epic! Rush mode was the sh!t!

BF3 Rush mode was meh...maps were too big for 12v12 on consoles, and destruction was meh. Really hope they bring BC3 and NOT destroy the name and memories I have of the series.

0ut1awed3873d ago (Edited 3873d ago )

It's funny becuse some maps on the PC for bf3 are way too small.

Imagine rush on grand bazar with 64 people. It's the definition of clusterfuck.

DeadlyFire3873d ago

Instead of developing maps with wider/smaller radius like BF2, BC2 and so on BF3 left all maps the same size pretty much so 64 player map on a console = deserted area with only 24 players.

solar3873d ago

Same. I loved the hell outta BC2. I played hundreds of more hours of it the BF3

Well, anything to make those shareholders happy, I guess. They're all that matters in this industry nowadays.

I wonder what the next buzz word they'll slap in front of AI to make it sound exciting next? "Generative" as if it's creating its own content. Lol.

Cacabunga64d ago

EA is already dying a painful death..

peppeaccardo64d ago

i have a better idea .. why the whole exec team doesn't get replaced by chat bots ?

just_looken65d ago

Though i agree the ai thing is already in other forms of media there have been ai translations/scripts/voice over and even full ai commercials aired on tv. Ubisoft has created a ai game creator story/vo/music except the building of the game

The new unreal engine has auto terrain creation tools

In the world of greed in which it is winning without any major blow back ai is our future.

everyone want's biden dead on the mic or a criminal instead of a woman and now we are getting ai everything because no one will stop watching/playing ai created media.

GamerRN64d ago

Maybe they should just focus on making good games?

Just a thought...

Kiryu199264d ago

Exactly EA are just pure evil. When they are beating Bank of America to be voted the worst company to work for that’s saying a lot

Good thing I don’t buy their games day one and wait for deep deep sale years after launch (the select few games I am actually interested in)

Gaming is making so much money yet the greed of these companies is never ending

CEO’s and people on board making millions yet cutting jobs to those who are actually making the products

EA is still a shady shitty company even with or without the help of Skynet. All they will use AI for is new ways to milk loot boxes and come up with the same sports title with a different year on the label. They are one company I truly do hate with a passion. They single handedly ruined some great franchise with their death touch. ME, Dead Space, Alice Returns, Dante's Inferno.

Stuart575665d ago

EA layoffs followed by 'Generative AI to Drive Monetization'

I knew it. Wonder what AI salary looks like? Nothing.

ChasterMies64d ago

I having a feeling that most of the layoffs in the industry are based on the idea that AI will do the same job for less.

DarXyde64d ago

Very likely, yes.

Made worse by the fact that the execs aren't changing their compensations.

My deepest fear at this point is that we are now in the capitalism endgame.

At this point, we really should just burn AI to the ground. Executives cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
How are those people expected to support families if everything gets automated?

Barlos65d ago (Edited 65d ago )

And take away creativity, and people's jobs as we've been seeing. Got it.

No thanks. I want my games created by people, not AI.

CobraKai65d ago

Exactly. If or when games start becoming more AI than people, im done with gaming. AI and companies like EA can suck donkey d***k.

just_looken65d ago

Though i agree remember this is no ps3/360 era were we got up to 3 games in one generation from on developer like gears/halo/bioware/sony/ms

The people today are pro esg/sweet baby for the most part AAA gaming is imploding right now.

We should be stepping back re evaluate everything as a whole this year xmen 97 written/directed by a woman that is nuts and its also being made by a group reshaping bodies to be less sexual like wtf. A dam famous cartoon from the 90's is being rebuilt with millions spent to be worse in everyway.

Gaming/movies/tv shows made today are worse than what we had 7years ago ai won't change this but that ai is also being made by these groups so either way we are screwed.

Eonjay64d ago

Don't be of afraid of women. Sexy characters in games and movies still exist. Got my Stellar Blade on preorder!!! Everything all the time doesn't need to be sexual...that's stupid, childish and dull.

Chocoburger64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

EA doesn't want to lose their title of worst gaming company ever, always trying their best to remain the champs!
What's sad is that they have so much potential to be a decent publisher.

SSX Tricky / SSX 3
Def Jam Vendetta / Fight for New York
NBA Street
NFL Steet
Mirror's Edge
Bad Company
Burnout 3 / 4 / 5

Remember when EA used to be awesome? It's all over with now. Unpolished, if not out-right broken games these days. Endless monetization and gambling in their sports games, and let's not forget wasting hours of your life trying to unlock characters or equipment using "surprise boxes!"
