I’m so used to the Battlefield: Bad Company trailers being full of speech and comedy that this latest trailer took me by complete surprise. In fact, I thought I was watching a trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 for a second.

It’s been way too long since I last played Bad Company so I forgot just how hectic and awesome multiplayer matches can be. There are plenty of vehicles to ride, lots of destructibility and I love the various amounts of weapons. Especially the sniper rifle. There was one in the first game that I abused over and over in multiplayer.

Any of you looking forward to Battlefield: Bad Company 2?

Jesus fucking Christ, I didn't think it was even possible to make it more frantic and fast paced then the first one. I will be buying this immediately.

One thing I always admired about BC is it's sound. It's sooooo good.

I loved the humour of the first game and hope they retain this in future advertising... but yeah, I liked the first game but I rented it because they didn't have a southpaw option (so not worth a buy as my husband couldn't play it)... I also didn't really like that they only had one game mode and the vehicles were a bit difficult to drive/fly - but I'm looking forward to the next game. If they have southpaw controls we'll likely pick up two copies and do the online thing.

haha yes! looks like they've brought back the defibrillator from BF:2. which was the only thing i missed from bad company other than being able to go prone

The demo threw me off the 1st game as I never felt that I could get into it and the online part was....ugh

HOWEVER, these videos on the new game have grabbed my attention, looks very good so hopefully it plays good!

awesome stuff, the one thing that sets it apart from others is that the weaponry actually affects the environment, blowing a wall up actually blows it up.

Certainly a bit more of a serious tone in there, but I'm sure it'll change once the ads start to come out. Just as long as it's as satisfyingly destructive as the first one, I'll be looking into this.

Looks great but why do they still have that awful rag doll animation? I remember laughing at how goofy it was in BF2, you'd think it would look a tad more realistic and updated. But it surprisingly does not.

Woah, looks rough. Animations are all skippy and the dude doesn't even reload his grenade launcher. And holy crap, when I played it at PAX09, kills were 5 points each, now they're 50?! That's crazy. From 50% to 500% (BF:BC1 kills were worth 10) ~ A person who plays BF:BC nearly every day.

I wonder why they always use console footage for promotional videos. The aiming just looks so clumsy, like watching someone steer a car with their knees.
Apart from that it looks awesome, looking forward to the pc version.

Absolutely loved the first game, and its was a nice alternative to CoD4. I've dipped into the multiplayer recently, and I have to admit, it also pushes a great at you. Its surprisingly busy, with plenty of gamers online at any time.

BC2, another sweet EA title I have to buy.

1) Please have split screen multiplayer
2) Please let me shoot with R2 instead of R1 on the dualshock.

"...and the dude doesn't even reload his grenade launcher"


he was partway through reloading it when he started sprinting, which basically skips the reloading animation. it takes just as long to be able to fire it again, but you never actually see ammo going into the gun. it is basically a good way to do hit and run tactics, especially with rockets.

Wait, why are people excited about BC2's defibs? They were in BF2.

Fantastic games (both BF2 and BC series), can't wait.

Defib kills? DICE please give me defib kills! Ultimate melee.

There are so many fun (and non-violent!) "roles" that just aren't catered for in these types of games... that a more tongue in cheek game like Bad Company could really embrace.

Journalist: Think Dead Rising's photography element... you gain points for hilarious photos like a guy with a live grenade at his feat, a guy knelt down behind some barrels, thinking he's all ninja, but there is a rocket mere milliseconds from hitting him in the back of the head, a US helicopter firing on a building clearly marked as a hospital, etc.

Battlefield medic: sod the deffibs and medi packs you have to perform intricate surgery on the battlefield for big points, think Trauma centre with bullets whizzing past your ears...:
"Medic!!!"
<Diagnosis: Shrapnel lodged in scrotum>
"Errr, sorry mate, the wife said if she walks in to see some kids digital wang all over the 64 inch plasma again, its gonna be a divorce ... flag down Charlie; he loves that ****"

Bystander: You've died like 500 times so you spawn in a wooden outhouse, that, seconds later, gets blasted to peaces... Your mission: run out of the combat zone with your britches round your ankles without getting dead (Photo of bystander worth big points for the Journalist, x10 multiplier for photo of soldier teabagging dead bystander)... The amount of by stander roles are almost limitless and it creates an impromptu "escort" mission for the team
Woman carrying baby away from combat, blind man being escorted out of hospital thats just been leveled, kid with gimpy leg, etc, etc
