Some info from insider on EA Forums about the long awaited update with new maps and patches. The most important thing is the date which is hinted to be Friday the 31st of October 2008:
"Hi Bad Company Baddies,
I thought I would give you some hints and info I can share. First, the hint is I look forward to a relaxing Friday next week and I will most likely take Monday and Tuesday off the week after next."
More, including the list of improvements, after jump..
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.
I'm very happy to hear this. I was hoping it would be out this weekend, I have three days off.
This is incorrect. It is the 30th. http://planetbattlefield.ga...
yeah unfortunately i have almost finished Battlefield bad CO. so i will only get a few trophies if any and i cant be bothered to go through it again when ill be playin R2, MK vs DC and Midnight club LA and many many more
Cant wait
hope they fix the bugs tho
I bought it the first week it came out, and its still in the wrapper. I never got around to playing it.
Tell me, is it worth it??
I was never a really big fan of MP, but after playing the R2 beta, I am hooked.
I've heard the MP was good on Bad Company
