Any questions for an associate producer of Battlefield: Bad Company?
Anthony Burch | 1:54 AM on 09.25.2008 24 comments


I'm interviewing Gordon Van Dyke tomorrow morning about upcoming DLC for Bad Company, and wanted to throw out some reader questions if at all possible.

Have you played Bad Company? Do you still give a rat's ass about it? Where do you think the series should go after Bad Company? Can I say "Bad Company" one more time?



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

My question: Is it possible to patch that horrible, horrible AI?

It's the only thing that's keeping from being a solid single player experience. The mutant aim from the enemies is no fun. My screen is red for the majority of the fucking time.

Yeah, I've got a question: How the hell could you pardon Nixon?

Anthony I apologize for shitting this up with an unfunny That '70s Show reference. And rather than stop typing and not hit the submit button to prevent this tragedy from ever occurring, I'm going to hit submit and shame myself in public. Regards, ANC.

Question:

How do you feel about all the talk over the bad company weapons? Surely you guys read some of that online? The internet acted as though Electronic Arts wanted to imbalance the game to people who buy new weapons. Is that the case? Do the weapons imbalance the game?

Question 2:

Will Electronic Arts ever make a seqeuel to Mutant League Football? Same basic game as Madden, just with murder. Electronic Arts would gain a lot of credibility with the online audiences.

Question 3:

Do companies like to produce downloadable content to renue interest in games that are waning sales wise? Do you guys pay attention to sales numbers and online leader boards?

Question 4:

Tell him the series should go to medieval, feudal japan, or perhaps battlefields. Even placing things in a much more violent fantasy world would be more appealing. Just go easy with hovercrafts and spikes on vehicles if you're going for "fantasy" stuff. Plus for some reason I think first person sword fights needs to be done better. Ask this last part verbatim: Are you a bad enough developer to make that game?

Question 5:

How does this Electronic Arts guy feel about the Spore DRM stuff? Press the question if they try to back off of it.

I could do more thought out questions, but these are just off the top of my head.

My question?... Why?

No, not really... I don't really care about this game... I'm so tired of shooters... Why am I even commenting? Maybe I can justify it by encouraging Rev with a question for him instead.

Dear Rev, how did you get so dashingly handsome?

Bad Company isn't even in the top 10 Xbox Live games anymore. Do they find it hard to compete with titles like COD4 and Halo 3 for space on that list, and do they think the DLC will help them?

Serious question.
Why did the character bob so much when they walk?
I'm usually not affected by any kind of motion sickness, but I felt dizzy while moving around in the game. Do the protagonists just like to take really heavy steps?

Hardest part of the development? Were any significant parts taken out due to gameplay incompatibilities/just doesn't work?

Do you feel the respawning-style single player divided first person fans?

I perosnally prefer to have to go back and re-play sections when I am killed (man that sounds crazy when I write it down) rather than going straight back where I left off and so didn't pick up Bad Company after playing the demo. What am I missing?

I'll echo someone else's comments as it should be brought up: Head Bob. Why? Of the many things that turned me off from the Demo, that was the biggest for me. Not even an option to turn it off. Away with your sophomoric FPS game, away with you.

What were your inspirations for Sweetwater and Haggard? Their interactions in the game always make me laugh.

were you striving for mediocrity or did it just kinda happen?

@ Rev

I think you should ask GalagaBugs.

Are they working on any dlc for gold rush or are they more focused on the conquest mode now?

- What particular challenges did they have when creating this multiplatform game?

- Based on their experiences and expertise, which platform did they "enjoy" developing on more and had better experiences with?

- List 5 things went right during the design/development process. List 5 things that went wrong.

- Are they disappointed that their game has not achieved the lasting appeal of COD4/Halo/etc?

Why did they decide to not include the commander and squad leader role into the game?

What are they looking to change in the next Battlefield title?

Will we be seeing a Battlefield game on the Wii? Ever?

What will they do to make multipayer as fun as CoD4 and Halo 3?
