We live in the post Modern Warfare 2 era. Having a title like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 make headlines with it's record breaking billion dollar sales, it had me thinking about the industry's reaction, especially Karl Magnus Troedsson, executive producer on Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
The fine folks at Electronic Arts and Dice tossed a neat industry event where they finally revealed a taste of what's to come with Bad Company 2's single player campaign. Among the loud gun shooting, open bar and delicious burgers, Troedsson set's the record straight. We chat about quality, the future of multi-player games, what he thinks about Infinity Ward, and the lack of trust my friends have in me.
If that doesn't guarantee a view, then maybe spotting our very own CTZ's "game face" in the wild will. His shark like gaming reflexes are something to behold.

Will it make as much money? I highly doubt it.
My thoughts exactly.
I heart wishes this game to sell more than MW2, which was worth little more than a rent to me.
I hope you're joking.
I've always preferred the Battlefield series over the Call of Duty one. It actually feels like you're in a war, due to the size of the maps and the sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance. It's the most epic feeling in the world. Next to blowing up a tank with some C4.
I'm actually looking forward to this release for my next PC shooter! Open areas, destructible buildings, and vehicles? If they can recreate the scale of Tribes 2, this will be phenomenal!
battlefield is the closed thing in gaming to a military experience (best netcode of the industry too) and i hope that the series is able to expand without getting dumbed down.
DICE deserves all the money and praise.
you suck:)
Not to mention exploding houses?! At the very least it looks like it will be a better game.
Probably won't be as widespread only because most of the MW2 crowd won't take there eyes off MW2 long enough to notice Bad Company.
I'm TOTALLY sold. That's what I call PR. Realy.
this.
Battlefield games are quite complex. Bad Company was the most watered down Battlefield game they ever made but it required a lot more skill than Modern Warfare 2.
I think Battlefield won't be the next billion dollar shooter but it will have its hardcore community backing it up.
Modern Warfare 2 is just the flavour of the month the WWE games were huge at one time too. Whats left of the Call of Duty franchise will be dead in the water once its no longer the "cool" thing.
Right on the money
MW2 is for the more casual crowd who just wants to jump right in and frag a few opponents. There's nothing complex about the mechanics themselves, perks/killstreaks make the game much more kill-friendly, and the hitboxes are all over the place.
Battlefield is going for a different audience. This is much more about teamwork, more in-depth shooting, learning the vehicles, optimizing each class, etc.
It's not going to be as popular because it isn't as easy to play. For me, the game is way better and much more rewarding. March 2nd = Day one buy for me.
Haha, Hamza is so funny.
