VIA TXB- Not to take anything away from the stellar COD 4, but had the beautiful shooter come out in '08 instead of '07, things would be slightly different. It's mainly about the numbers, as myriad developers and publishers are teaming up on modern military FPS in the COD 4 ilk; some of which have already been released with high praise. We're also looking at another Rainbow Six Vegas title for 2008– a franchise that always seems to leave competitor's shaking in its government-issue boots. But '08 may just be year where DICE forces all of its FPS competition to catch frostbite with the latest in their line of Battlefield titles.
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 will give this a try when it comes out but for now COD4 still the leader.

From someone who hasn't really gotten into the BF series, this one is actually looking and sounding awesome.
Will this one actually have a single player? The Battlefield games I have ever played have had crpy single player whose sole purpose was to give you some practice for the multiplayer. I hear the multiplayer is awesome but thats not really my thing. I only pick up games if I will enjoy the single player and if I love that enough, I may try the multiplayer like I did with Gears\Rainbow six\COD4 and Halo3. But if I dont like the single player, I have no interest in the multiplayer.
destructable environments?! :-D
looks very very promising.
