Andrew Highton writes "Ahhh I have sure missed the tension and unbearable calamity of one more shot being fatal to you numeric health bar. Your approach to combat was more drilled and cautious, you were assertive in how you went about your business knowing your shots needed to be accurate. I’ve missed scowering the level or a particular area desperately trying to locate a health pack to just about give me an edge before in run into the next titanic battle. This may be the nostalgia talking but in a way I’ve also miss having to restart a level from scratch if I died! Oh the humanity."
For many, the game became the sound of the 90s – but Josh Mancell tells us how the music for PlayStation’s first mascot game originated in Kraft cheese and Kraftwerk
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."

I always activate the Black Weapon on BFV Solomon Islands for all the BC2 fans who hear/recognize it, thus starting the events of BC2 on BF5 :)
Derrrunnn. Derrrunnn.
What is so hard to understand for them?
Bad Company 2 is one of the best and most memorable games in the series because:
- It was class-based (duh)
- Heavy focus on squads
- Substance over map size or gimmicks
- Fantastic and realistic gun play
- Well designed maps
- Destructible environments (why has this been minimised so hard in the series? You could demolish buildings in bad company 2 with some well placed C4
- Great progression system and variety in play
- No stupid CoD imitations or focus on the store over the game
- It was *drumroll* incredibly good fun?
- It was unmistakably BATTLEFIELD
The platformer’s original creators and the stewards of the remastered trilogy dive into the original series and how it impacts the franchise today.
Thanks Sony for letting this slip away to Activision.
25 years wasted.
Oh btw I just purchased the trilogy.
Brought tears to my eyes.
It's so good. I bought it for my nephew's and we played all night.
Dark Sniper definitely remembers the "good ol' days" of gaming. Before there was online passes, digital distribution, DLC, and online gaming, there was a different realm of video games which in retrospect required us as gamers to use more of our imagination.
There used to be a time when Crash Bandicoot dominated the console market when the surge of the PlayStation's popularity propelled Crash to a higher mascot status than Mario. NFL Gameday was the best football game in the market, Tekken supplanted Street Fighter as the most popular fighter on the planet, Gran Turismo began it's decade long dominance. The mere mention of Twisted Metal brings backs fond memories of anyone who played it on the original PlayStation.
Megaman X flourished as one of the finest pieces of 2D gaming as it graduated from the last generation SNES hardware. Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid and Final Fantasy VII planted their mark as three of the most magical moments in the 90's, while other games such as Syphon Filter and Fear Effect created their own cult followings within the PlayStation Library.
This was during an era where competing consoles were not afraid to speak their mind about how they felt about their opposition through the art of advertising.
Gaming in the 90's was all about survival, many consoles tried (3DO,CDI,Jaguar,Saturn,N64) but only one succeeded. Breaking the plateau of over 150 million units sold, Sony PlayStation went on to break Nintendo's record of most consoles sold. This achievement would be later reached again as Sony broke their own record with PlayStation®2, a record which still stands today.
Dark Sniper makes no apologies about who he is because of the era of gaming he grew up in. Those who grew up in the 90's are a product of their environment. Because that's when games begun the upward trend of innovation and the debut of 3-dimensional gaming that we take for granted today.

PlayStation Vs. N64, give me that era again. Both consoles had AMAZING games
I agree with all the above comments.
Back in the day I had an n64, my friend had a ps1, & my other friend had a Sega Saturn. One time we would be playing Goldeneye & Mario Kart on the 64, another time we could be playing Resident Evil & Tekken 2 on the ps1, or we would be playing Virtua Cop & Sega Rally on the Saturn. 3 different consoles with their own unique, fun games. I miss that.
Im not a fan if regenerating health either, which is why I picked up Resistance 3 recently......and loving it! Talk about tense!
PSOne and N64 my childhood <3
