DICE takes a few potshots at ModernWarfare 2

When two developers go head to head for the same core audience, it's not uncommon for their to be some rivalry between the two groups. DICE and Infinity Ward are in this situation. Firing the first shots over the bow, DICE references Modern Warfare 2 in Bad Company 2's single player campaign. The video below is a couple of references that appear to be directed squarely at Infinity Ward. Apparently, DICE believes that both heart monitors on your guns and snow mobiles are for sissies….ZING!(more)

I've watched some parts of Bad Company 2 and completely MW2, COD 4 and Bad Company 1 and I can tell you this.

There's quite a few scenes from Bad Company 2 look and feel like ones from COD 4 only more epic. From what I've seen I won't be dissapointed by the singleplayer. Roll on day of launch, hopefully my internet is working by then.

FanboyAttack5205d ago

Indeed Just finished the singleplayer campaign, it is 10x the game BC1 was. I think I had more fun playing this than MW2 single player actually.

Mista T5205d ago (Edited 5205d ago )

I love this, show em what's up :P

COD is for sissies

deadreckoning6665205d ago

LOL nice! I just ordered the limited edition on Amazon. You get 20 bucks towards your next game purchase. Man, I can't wait till next week.

psn-deadreckoning666. I hope to see you all on the battlefield :)

Bungie5205d ago

Ooooh snap

no they didn't

Killjoy30005205d ago

DICE knows they're the far better company delivering the far better game. I know it too.

Maddens Raiders5205d ago (Edited 5205d ago )

...gotta love DICE calling out BS and showing why MW2 is for a world of noobs. I'm sure DICE wish they had the sales and largess of the ridiculous MW2 hype machine, but they're reputation won't suffer one bit for it. BFBC2 FTMFW. (and no, I'm not saying that women are noobs at fps at all - i'm using it as a real life example of a guy who wrote that his "casual" never before fps playing gf being able to pick up and play the game with great success and little skill involved) /sic...

FanboyAttack5205d ago

The single player I think is actually better than MW2. The game is just fun. Can't wait until the servers start filling up to play multiplayer. BF is fun in the fact that there are so many ways to play the game. Hide out in the hills and snipe, Roll with tanks, or choppers, great franchise... can't wait for Tues.

masterofpwnage5205d ago (Edited 5205d ago )

isnt the black guy the leader.
why is he complaining.
in real life your not suppose to complain especially infront of your team that your leading, because there all lower class.

im not saying he is. never played the first one.
but i downloaded the demo in psn and it seemed like he was in command of the squad.

DERKADER5205d ago

I dunno I think snowmobiles are cool, but heartbeat monitors was the dumbest idea ever. Two more days.

Jamegohanssj55205d ago

I really love my girlfriend because she hates call of duty : v ).

TGSI

Mr Logic5205d ago

First of all it's a video game and secondly it's bad company. If you had played the first one you would understand this is not your usual squad of soldiers.

Mr Brownstone745205d ago

Go DICE!

that was funny. "no, he will just send some dousche bags with p*ssy ass heartbeat monitors on their guns" haha

masterofpwnage5205d ago

ahh okay thank. i never really knew that, but i might take dave advise and rent the first

xabmol5204d ago

BFBC2 will still have that same comedy I loved about the first one. :D

Will GS be doing a midnight release? I want this game ASAP!!

zeeshan5204d ago

MW is pure crap but the sad thing is that most of the people here who call it all types of names are the ones who bought it. Am I the only guy who didn't buy it? Please, let it be wrong but it can't be because look at how well that piece of crap did when it comes teh salez!! From the moment I saw the first gameplay trailer of MW1.5, I knew it was broken and pathetic.

DICE is going to rip MW2 apart with BC2 but ACTIVISION and INFINITY WARD proved that given all the hype, you can sell all type of pi*s poor games!

Snowmobiles are for Sissies. LMAO

Dave13515205d ago

Its bad company so therefore there are no rules, sarge hates his job and wants to go home. all of the people in the squad did something bad so they were sent to "bad company"

maybe you should rent the first one before the second one comes out

swiftshot935205d ago

That "sissy" stuff garnered Infinity Ward record sales and an average of 94 on metacritic. People are playing MW2 all day everyday. Lets see how DICE match up.

Mista T5205d ago

same story with GTA4, millions played it buyed it, highest score on metacritic, and continued to play it online, these days your lucky to find anyone on there, and the game is crap.

this will happen to MW2

Nike5205d ago

@T:

Because that totally happened with Modern Warfare 1 when the sequel was released, right?

SuperbVillain5205d ago

there are alot of "sissies" out there...MW2 junkies would get merked in BF

Chnswdchldrn5205d ago

funny

i pirated the hell out of MW2 and all of its sissy/mediocre B$ but I respect dice to much to do that to their game

and yeah should a MW2 person who is too comfortable with that multiplayer hop onto BFBC 2, they might get owned to hell and back because it takes much more skill and you can't just slap on a heartbeat sensor, camp in the corner with harrier, heli gunner, and nuke and expect to win the game.

lets face it, MW2 players tend to be sissies

not that they all are, just saying tho

PoSTedUP5205d ago (Edited 5205d ago )

MWF2 is ranked high because it is for casuals, like halo. its awesome just like cod4. and it sold a lot because it is for casuals, and there are a lot of casual gamers out there.

battlefield is like KZ2 mixed with call of duty, its a different game, late to the party, a little more realistic and heavy with the movements & controls etc. im not saying its for the hardcore, im saying its not as casual and late to the party to do number$ like cod4 or mwf2. just like Saint row and GTA. they are all awesome games though from what i played.

arma2 and operation flashpoint is to men as mwf2 and bfbc2 is to boys. : P

http://www.youtube.com/watc... arma2
http://www.youtube.com/watc... flashpoint.
im just a realistic game kinda guy idk.

@ below- lol good 1.

deadreckoning6665205d ago

"MWF2 is ranked high because it is for casuals, like halo.

Ummm..Halo isn't for casuals. U really have to earn ur kills. MW2 is definetly for noobs though.

proximately5205d ago

Not saying that Modern Warfare 2 is a bad game, but it was hardly the freaking snow mobile that got the game its great sales. It was a hype machine and a monster multiplayer mode with fast paced combat (along with some... deathstreaks? What the hell was up with that?! I hated not being able to turn that s*** off...). I enjoyed it, but it didn't bring much new to the table. Bad Company on the other hand brought a lot of new spices to play with.

In the end though... I sold both Modern Warfare and Bad Company. Let's see how far their sequels make it *looks at MW2 in the shelf*.

Pixel_Addict5205d ago

just because something is popular doesn't necessarly make it right/correct. It's called "group think". MW2 is more likely popular because friends convince their friends its a good game. Which it certainly is not.

evrfighter5205d ago

http://www.metacritic.com/g...

and the score that the people who bought this game gave mw2 = what?

I just started playing Spec op. I've had it for years on steam and forgot about it. Such a good game.

EvertonFC97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

Fantastic game,.so underated

Cacabunga97d ago

Yes great game spec ops! Since the time we’ve been asking sony to make one:/

Auto Modelista.. a PS2 capcom racer!! A blast to play and great graphics!
Maximo!
Rival Schools!

LordoftheCritics97d ago

Spec Ops: The Line was super dark.

Incredible story.

SheenuTheLegend97d ago

all the games in the above list are bang on. this is the only reason we need backwards compatibility and physical presense of games for the upcoming future, no matter what.

Yi-Long97d ago

Honorable mention to the excellent Driveclub, one of the best racing games of all-time and one of my favourite games ever.

melons97d ago

yes! incredible rain effects; so good to drive along in rain with your Spotify playlist blaring

Skuletor97d ago

I really wanted a MotorStorm using the same engine, Driveclub is easily one of the best looking games on PS4 and I'm surprised they didn't even give it a PS4 Pro patch.

ravens5297d ago

Yes indeed. May just install it on my PS5. You know, physical copy and all.

monkey60297d ago

I adored Driveclub and the Bike expansion. I also loved Motorstorm. Evolution shutting down was a crime

darthv7297d ago

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.

Skuletor97d ago

I have quite a few of these. Timed licenses suck.

Terry_B97d ago (Edited 97d ago )

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.

I had no idea that Bad Company 2 was still running, and only now that I know, I want to jump on! 😥

I was able to find games in the Vietnam dlc on ps3 the last week. There were articles on here about the server closure when it was announced in April

DaReapa171d ago

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.

Inverno171d ago

I got really into 43 when I bought Bf3, and preferred it. Everything that I disliked or found annoying about Bf3, wasn't an issue in 43. Too bad they never bothered releasing it on PS4 or PC.

1nsomniac171d ago (Edited 171d ago )

Dead Space 2...... I wasn't even aware that had multiplayer. Nevermind that it was apparently one of their best multiplayers!

anast171d ago

Once people stop buying micros, these companies close the doors.

Xenial170d ago

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!
