Planet Battlefield writes: "Listen up soldiers... This is your chance to land yourself in the Battlefield: Bad Company multiplayer beta test. This beta will give players a chance to revisit the glory of the battlefield and enter an exciting mission to recapture the rewards of war and the agony of defeat. You will be able to battle through two new diverse maps, access new infantry kits and vehicles as well as experience the new tactical destruction in Battlefield: Bad Company that is aiming to change how first-person shooters are played."
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 don't have an Xbox, but I got a key. :D
This is not a dupe. This press release just came out. The story you linked as a dupe of in the old press release from March 13th that was not supppose to go out. Notice how this one says March 20th. March 13th - http://corp.ign.com/article...
this game coming out in JUNE !?! MGS4 is coming and will crush this game. this is a biiig mistake by EA.
this is for real - i've got a key and the download is about 45% through now... excellent.
Oh well, thats another EA game I will not be purchasing; my main reason being that with EA the game is guaranteed to have framerate problems and $hitty graphics (cough*Skate*cough). The lack of a Beta for PS3 is just the final nail in the coffin; they obviously do not want to make any sales on the PS3 front.
