From the preview:
"Our time with Battlefield: Bad Company was short and sweet but it's good to see that things are moving, if not a bit slower than I would like, in the right direction. Every time I see BF:BC it looks just a little better in every area, less the sound. I'm not exactly sure how that part of the game could be any better than it is. When Bad Company drops later this year be sure to crank the 5.1 system and strap yourself in for one of the best sounding battles on any system."
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.
Looks good except from all the screentearing.
:\
Nice hope the multiplayer is as much fun as its PC cousins. This might be the game to give COD4 run for its money. Day one purchase for me. And yeah hope they fix the vsync issue.
I don't know if it's IGN but... looks like EA didn't turn the VSync on for these vid captures lol oh well, the preview and vids look great aside from the screen tearing. I was never a fan of the Battlefield series, but this game looks VERY promising.
Can't wait for this game, it looks awesome. Battlefield > COD
