Bad Company parodies Gears, Rainbow 6, and MGS
covah \| 4:54 PM on 06.21.2008	20 comments

Parodying your competition seems to be a new thing in the game trailers business nowadays. But where as Saints Row 2 made fun of GTA IV, Bad Company is taking the more respectful route and just pulling a Weird Al on Gears of War, Rainbow 6 and Metal Gear Solid. The first one takes a shot at the infamous Mad World commercial that Gears had (which I loved!) then the next is one poking fun at the whole tactics of Rainbow 6 in general, and the Metal Gear one is just too funny I won't spoil it for anyone. I thought they were all pretty funny, and at least respect what they are mocking enough not to trash it. I'm gonna give this one a rent though, I wasn't too sure with the multiplayer while I had the beta test.

I love in the Rainbow Six one when he says "Breach that door." Then they just throw a grenade and start firing haha. I love this ad campaign.

The Amazing Shenazin

These ads are amazing... I just hope the game is ok

covah

the best is where they blow up the barrel and just look at the guy flying through the air. I cracked up watching that.

to bad the demo sucked in multi\

maybe singleplayer is good

MechaMonkey

This ad campaign has been successful in that it has made me want to play the game. I'll give it at least a rent.

nebones

These adds sold me the game.

Skribble

^Pretty much, dude. I'm picking this game up on day one; opinion based on these ads + their humor + destructible everything must = awesome.

AngelsDontBurn

I don't think the demo was bad at all, or the multi. It's just.. Battlefield. If you've played alot of Battlefield before and are tired of it, you'll probably be tired of this.

But I had fun putting holes in walls and running through them. :D

mistic

What a great adcampaign, they make me want to give it a rent at least...

while at first I totally didn't care about it :-)
guess I'll first try the demo though :-)

"Breach that door!"
"Ohkai"

EPIC :-)

I loved the singleplayer demo and now I love the game even more because of its hilarious ads. This is gonna be on my list of games to buy when it comes out.
