Battlefield: Bad Company 20 Minute Special

Gamer.tv special for the latest game in the Battlefield series, Battlefield: Bad Company. Includes an in-depth look at the new game as well as a tour of the DICE studio and look back at the titles that have formed the Battlefield series.

Planet Battlefield writes: "The video is packed full of footage some new, some old, and a short history of the Battlefield franchise (6:30), even talking about Codename Eagle and numerous interviews with DICE devs. The end of the video discusses the Gold Rush game mode (19:30), one journalist even comparing it to Frontlines: Fuel of War.

The most interesting part I found was the tour of DICE studios (13:00) in Stockholm, Sweden. 280 people from 15 different countries work at DICE. At around 13:57 you will even see Battlefield: Heroes on the computers in one of their game rooms. Aside from the wall of microwaves, DICE store, the scattered caffeine filled coffee makers, and the large fish tank, the one thing that caught my eye were these areas marked off with caution tape and stop signs. What type of secret projects lay in these areas? Battlefield 3? Who knows?"

Are you kidding? BF and Far Cry = huge franchises where as haze is new and from what was seen so far is a halo wannabe with bad textures and fps issues.

I will probably get them all.
But there is no doubt that this is the order of importance for me.

1. Battlefield (The Attacker/Defender mode is just my cup of the. A little like Annex on Gear of War)
2. FarCry 2 (AI looks amazing)
3. Haze (Who knows this might look 100% better than the last time we saw it)

The destruction in Battlefield Bad Company is pathetic and it has no allure for me whatsoever.

It's purely cosmetic and all you do is knock down trees that disappear, and blow out wall sections.

You can't even knock a building down. You can only blow out roof / wall sections.

Funny....how they make videos ALLLLL about "destruction", when in reality, the only thing their engine allows you to do is give cosmetic damage to structures with no impact on structure fidelity.

BORING.

Comic Book Guy? Is that you?

If 90% destructibility is boring, what would you consider interesting?

It's funny that the largest things you see in Battlefield will be the buildings...but you can't destroy them.

Only the walls.

*rolls eyes*

Oh and who the hell is comic book guy?

6.3 - have u seen the video
in between they mention the reason why they kept some things, even walls, indestructible and also u were able to bring down buildings just imagine what will happen if a fallen building blocks ur wayyy u will be trapped n u cant proceed

6.4 - What?
First, as Spartaan said, you didn't watch the movie. Watch and and you'll see that your only complaint is baseless.

Second, your name comes from Star Trek, you claim to be a "long time gamer since the 80's" in your site profile, and you're from North America, and you don't know who Comic Book Guy is?

There's something very wrong with this picture. A geek who doesn't know Comic Book Guy is like a football player not knowing what the Orange Bowl is.

If you're talking about the guy from the simpsons....then yeah I know who you're talking about. I thought you were speaking of someone on n4g...oops.

Oh and if things were REALLY destructible in this game, when a building falls in your way, you could blow it the f*ck OUT of your way.

'nuff said.

Oh, and I combed through that video and every video I could find about Bad Company, and not ONCE did I see an entire building brought to the ground.
