When Crytek's spiritual successor to Far Cry was announced and demoed for the gaming press last year console gamers' hearts skipped a beat when they thought of the possibility that Crysis could one day make it into their homes and onto their next-gen system. Ever since that day Crytek has denied -- one way or another -- that their latest smash hit will ever run on a home system. Well ladies and gentleman, fear not, the Swedish game makers at DICE have created something that is completely console exclusive and will make you forget all about Cry… something or other.
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.
biiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch thats some destruction
now show me it isnt just a gimmick
Howdy neighbor "BOOM!" sorry neighbor, I can fix that.
That looks like fun :)
thats looking pretty sweet. please grace us with keyboard and mouse config tho :D hopefully they can keep the frames/graphics/destruction at max for the multiplayer.
Now that just pissed me off when I saw the tree fall on the roof of the house....and it exploded....
(3:06 and 3:13, both in bottom video)
What the hell?
Trees don't explode on contact with roofs!
They better fix that.
Everything else is spectacular, though. Well done and bravo to this new entry in the Battlefield series.
