OXM examines the fate of DICE's light-hearted spin-off.
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.
Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.
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.
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.
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."

Battlefield Bad Company 2, Dead Space 2, Crysis 3, and a handful other EA games have finally had their online services shut down.
I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥
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.
Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!
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!
No. Next year it will be MoH the year after it is very unlikely going to be BF4 so it will be another BC (EA have already said they are going to release yearly modern shooter games to take market share from Activision). DICE in BC2 seemed to go away from what they created BC. It went all serious. I hope they bring it back to how the teaser first showed off BC. http://www.youtube.com/watc... and other related trailers like the bad world one
I don't get how Dice will follow Bf3 with another bad company game.
I know there different games but to me there the same. I consider BF3 the sequel to BFBC2. I mean its weird to see it that way for others but I just see to much similarity. Its like changing the final fantasy series name everytime because its a different "game"
Was just thinking this, probably not, to be honest nothing really ends with a 2 these days. there is normally a tri-factor and then they might finish.
This is how i think it'll go
Battlefield 3 - 2011
M.O.H 2 - 2012
Bad Company 3 - 2013
M.O.H 3 - 2014
Battlefield 4 -2015 (Probably on Next Gen Consoles)
Plus that gives DICE time to tweak Frostbite 2.5 which will probably be used in Bad Company 3, and update it to Frost bite 3 with the release of Battlefield 4.
