What's the downloadable content situation for Battlefield: Bad Company 2? Speaking to Worthplaying, senior producer Patrick Bach gave some solid information on the matter.
"We see the game as the first step to a longer experience. We have an in-game store where you get free content or you can buy new content to the game, so it's a very integral part of the game that we will have a long post-launch campaign."
"I think people will be thrilled to see what's in that already," says Bach. "On day one, you will get some really cool stuff." Interesting. Not that I'm against free content at launch, but if this is going to be a hot new trend to prevent used game sales, we need to up the ante in terms of hard drive accessibility.
Why yes, I am still rocking a 20 GB hard drive for my Xbox 360. I can't let them win. I don't exactly know who "they" are, but letting them beat me is the worst thing I could possibly do.
'Battlefield: Bad Company 2' (ALL) Developer Interview [Worthplaying via Blue's News]
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I disliked the first Bad Company intensely, the first time I played it. But I stuck with it, and I eventially liked the game a good bit. You may want to at least rent BC2 when it comes out, it possibly could grow on you the same way.
HaHa.
And spot the enemy! Q on PC, select on PS3, and probably select on 360. Will make things so much easier for everyone.
Seriously, people wonder why I'm a bit of a troll and a Fanboy, I'm a PS3Fanboy dot com original that came here when they merged it all into joystiq and started banning people for making hilarious, yet slightly offensive jokes.
I will buy this, loved the first one, loved the beta - thanks for the free DLC.
I'll try that.
Good that they're releasing free shit too.
Free shit's always good....
I'm really liking the demo alot, also. I'm a fan of large maps. It's alot nicer (imo) to be spread out instead of all crammed together with everyone spawning on top of each other and running around playing grab-ass. Yeah, I'm talking about you, CoD.
I must have played the demo about 30 hours so far.
Excellent sound production
Excellent destructible environments.
Very good graphics.
Projectiles kick up dust.
Bombs leave craters.
Vehicles flip and explode.
Weapon sets have good flexibility to counter changing threats and strategies.
Oh and tons of morons who think they are safe because they wear gilly suits.
Good character animation, but not great. No gore sad to say.
I wish arms and legs would go in 4 directions when you hit someone in the chest with a a 40mm rifle grenade.
Probably the only game I will buy for 60 dollars this year.
