Quantcast



EA DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is almost here -- the first-person shooter will be out on Tuesday, March 2, for PS3, 360, and PC. Because EA is hoping that the game will challenge Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's dominance, they're marketing the hell out of BFBC2, and this 30-second TV spot is just one of the ways in which they're doing that.

It's a typical videogame commercial: stuff blows up behind snippets of highly positive reviews. Still, I don't know about you, but stuff blowing up definitely gets my blood pumping. I can't wait to give BFBC2 a shot next week.

Bought a new headset for my PC just for this game. Needless to say I'm already pumped for it.

The BFBC2 ad before the BFBC2 ad made me not want to watch the BFBC2 ad.

Yo dawg, I heard you like Bad Company ads, so I put some Bad Company ads in your Bad Company ad so you can rage while you rage!

Seriously though, irony is a harsh little whore.

Thank god we finally get a kickass ad like this. Repeatedly watching that terrible Gamestop BC2 ad almost made me NOT want to buy the game anymore.

It's mind blowing to think that those kind of event's are going to take place when you're playing the game. So awesome.

What, the DOA: Paradise ad wasn't available to put in front of this spot? Boobs and guns, DToid. Make it happen next time.

Also, I'm still pumped too. Haven't been this excited about a shooter since MGO.

I actually like the gamestop ads. They add a little originality, just watching them over and over again gets annoying.

Been pumped for this game, can't wait for the preload to ready up.

Why would anyone watch this considering we're forced to watch Battlefield Bad Company 2 ads before every (dtoid) video we watch? Including this video!

Hooray for destructible cover to reduce stagnation from online FPS gamers where people who know the maps are the ones who dominate.

I actually already canceled by preorder due to the gamestop ad coming up before every video I've watched recently.

Shame on Destructoid if you have a hand in this... I got the ad before the trailer, and then I got to ad again when I pressed replay. I won't buy this game now, I mean it. I absolutely will not buy this game now. I don't care how awesome it is or how awesome the trailer's soundtrack is.

dude I was just playing the game listening to this song, thinking; "man, I should make a trailer with this mix." +1 to the universe. Now if only the universe would use Bloc party - Ares for Mirror's Edge 2 launch trailer...

Saw this on TV last night while I was literally thinking about getting the game tonight.

Commercial = effective. I want it so hard right now.
