Reviews by Tom Orry, he writes:
"As video games become increasingly more realistic our expectations grow. Take Battlefield Bad Company for example. You can totally destroy the side of a building, yet you can't take the whole building down, and that makes us disappointed. For as technically impressive as Bad Company is, we wanted more. That doesn't stop it from being the first excellent single-player game in the Battlefield series. It's an enjoyable, action packed and explosive campaign, and bolstered by some excellent multiplayer, but how does it stack up to current favourite Call of Duty 4?"
o Excellent multiplayer
o Open world levels are great
o Superb visuals and audio
x Twitchy controls
Gameplay: 8
Graphics: 9
Sound: 10
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.
Only one game mode? No deathmatch? No team deathmatch? Is it true? I have been so busy with MGS4 I hardly had any time following this game:P
is there going to be any local multiplayer at all? any1 know?
are going to supply extra gamemodes via download after release
also i disagree with the comment about not being able to destrony a building fully, wouldnt be much good would it if you ended up stranded on a level with no cover
I disagree with ithe negative comments here, yes, only 1 game mode, but 8 massive maps, loads of vehciles every game I have played (over 9 hours) has been different, its a great dynamic enviroment, loads of modes doesn't always mean better. I read a comment on a review yesterday which said 'only 8 maps' as a negative....uh hello, COD4 had what, 4?
Twitchy controls but you get used to them. He brings up COD4 which isnt really even the same genre but they both have war and guns in them so in reviewers minds their the same. One aims for massive battles the other goes for close quartes/medium battles. And he says there is 7 maps when there is 8 maps did he even play the game or did he play some of it than go play COD4
