EA has brought gamers another chapter in the Battlefield series in Battlefield: Bad Company. This week 411 had the opportunity to demo the new Bad Company game. While this may just seem like just another war game with sandbox capabilities, 411 found it to be enjoyable for what it was.
The apparent story that 411 had the opportunity to preview reminded them a lot of the move 3 Kings with George Clooney. The story focuses around a group of soldiers who find a horde of gold bars while fighting. They feel that they are underappreciated and underpaid so they decide they are going to try to get the gold back for themselves.
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.
I bet the xbox360 core users will feel cheated about conquest being a download not being able to play the full game cause they not putting it on the disc getting halve a game. Why? because it dont make sence when you buy the game there will be a download free which core users are stuffed......why would a developer cheat core users and did microsoft say that games will be the same for all 360 owners more like they could not fit it on dvd9 and because its multi ps3 have to do same because microsoft xbox360 will looks less of a console which they trying to cover up by feeding you BS
