Gamedaily writes: "Most military-themed first-person shooters have the same kind of ultra-serious attitude, where soldiers charge into a war zone with a "win or die trying" mantra and shoot anything that moves. There's nothing wrong with that (as the superb Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare proves), but seeing something with a change of pace wouldn't be a bad thing for the worn-out genre. In this regard, Battlefield: Bad Company stands out from the pack, bringing lots of gun-toting excitement and cleverly fusing it with a dark, humorous attitude. As a result, it's one of the best shooters you'll play this summer.
In Bad Company's main story mode, you play as Preston Marlowe, a newbie in the 222nd Army battalion placed in the B-Company team. Leading the team is Sergeant Redford, a gruff, worn-out soldier who accepted this assignment with the promise of a smooth retirement. Also in the pack is Sweetwater, a nerd who has the hots for the radio dispatch girl. Then there's Haggard, a bazooka-carrying grunt with a tendency to blow things up, even when it's not necessary."
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.
MGS4 got an 8 which has an epic single player and fun multiplyer while BC got a 9 which might as well be just a multiplayer game with only one game mode.
I guess gamedaily just love their 360's and FPS's
Just for the fact that they gave MGS4 an 8 and gave Battlefield a 9, shows me that there credability for reviewing games is worth nothing. Not being a fanboy here but that is just the honest truth.
