IGN enlist and own several noobs:
"The Bad Company Beta just went live this morning and we've spent our entire day scouring over the two included maps (Ascension and Oasis) to bring you our impressions of the multiplayer action. There's no question that the gameplay has come a seriously long way since we first got our hands on the game in November of last year, and for the very first time we can see a tangible finish line in sight for Bad Company's development."
With the franchise’s mainline entries failing to find their footing in recent years, now is the perfect time for a Battlefield: Bad Company remake.
Of course there is no counter argument. This is what fans of the franchise have wanted for years. This and/or BF Bad Company 2.
When asked why there hasn't been another Bad Company:
“There's one thing that lingers with Bad Company that we've been asking ourselves: What is it that the people really liked about Bad Company?" DICE general manager Karl Magnus Troedsson told Eurogamer.
Troedsson says that he and his team can’t put their fingers on what it is that people loved about that branch of the brand. “It's hard for people to articulate what that is, which is actually hard for us,” he says. “It would be hard to remake something like that. Can we do it? Of course. We have our theories when it comes to the multiplayer."

EA: "As we close in on 15 years since the release of Battlefield 1943, and Bad Company™ 1 & 2, we are announcing that their journey is coming to an end."
This reminds me... I have ME on my PS3 hdd. Never really played it, but it was free.
On PC I don't think it's much of a problem but I'm sad to see BF43 being shut down. I haven't played it in a while since it's stuck on PS3, but i preferred it way more over BF3. It was the lack of invisible barriers which made it better for me.
Does anyone play the last BF anymore? I searched crossplay servers and it was 20 people the most on all the servers? Can never find a game
With this multiplayer experiment going every way but right, it's time for Battlefield to return to what made it so great - a fun single player mode coupled with classic multiplayer.
BF is dead especially after this abysmal release.. what have EA done to this beloved franchise.. it’s really upsetting they are so far disconnected from what the actual fans want from this series.. such a same
If they would of made BC3 and stuck to the same formula as BC2 but gave it the next gen treatment it would of been a massive hit
Thing is i dont think they're capable of capturing what made those fun/different anymore.
EA knows players want BC3 the same way Activision knows players want MW2 back. They will not make it because the goal is to make games built around MTX and Battle Royale.
From the preview:
"The destruction clearly isn't dynamic and is instead a set of pre-defined cutouts that can be blown off of buildings."
THAT is my problem with a game that claims it's all about destruction.
SEVERELY disappointing.
I agree , seen worse in other games over the years , they need to get rid of "doc iam bleeding " every 20 seconds then resovle screen tearing and choose a better color palate not warm vivid would be much better . But its a step up from M.Combat , if that . Back to the beta now ( if I connect )
This is like call of duty 4 on steroids. very polished, except for the typical voice acting.
Battlefield is all about vehicles. How many vehicles in this bad boy?
if i could connect i would tell you.
there is not a chance that the retail game will work on release if they can't even handle the demand of a closed beta.
