[[MyIS]Spawndemon]

In a press release today, EA (http://www.ea.com/) has announced that Battlefield: Bad Company will ship on June 23, 2008 for Xbox 360 and PS3. Take a look:

The Blockbuster Entertainment Experience of the Summer Isn't at the Movies... Battlefield: Bad Company Ships on June 23. Special Gold Edition Offers Fans Exclusive Content at Launch.

Prepare for the gold rush! This summer, the blockbuster action event of the season will not be in theatres. EA DICE, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced that Battlefield: Bad Company™ will ship to retail outlets on June 23. Action fans and gamers worldwide will get their chance to join the ‘B’ company on exciting, sometimes irreverent, missions that take them through deserts, cities and mountain terrain to capture the spoils of war. Players will experience the tactical, destructive power in the deep single player campaign or go online for intense multiplayer action that only the Battlefield team can deliver.

For a limited time only, gamers will be able to purchase the Gold Edition of Battlefield: Bad Company. The Gold Edition pack features exclusive content with behind-the-scenes action and strategy videos giving Battlefield: Bad Company players tricks and tips on how to own the battlefield. The Gold Edition also gives gamers early access to five unique weapons that players can take into battle. These weapons can also be unlocked after the launch of the game by ranking up to the highest level in multiplayer mode.

“Players can forget about using walls as cover as we’ve fundamentally changed the way to play shooters offline and online through the use of tactical destruction,” says Karl-Magnus Troedsson, Senior Producer for Battlefield: Bad Company. “Players will get the chance to reap the spoils of war this summer as they annihilate the enemy and search for gold in the dark, character-driven, single player storyline while returning Battlefield fans will love the intense and vehicle-heavy multiplayer.”

So be sure to stay tuned for all the latest news on Bad Company before the game ships on June 23rd!

[Deflex]

Wow! You are pretty lucky! :shock:

Holy Crap - that is awsome timing! (For you - lol) I'm not even going to be in the states all summer so I won't get to play it until later in the fall... :( Even worse, that is when school starts...

Cool. You lucky person. :cool:

BF BC huh? ......i heard its not that great

[Deflex]

BF BC huh? ......i heard its not that great

EH? WHAT?!? :shock: Of ALL things - the only thing you can say is that you've HEARD it's not great... well, well. You better do your homework. lol!

I've felt, heard, touched, seen, and even smelled Battlefield: BC (not really ;))and know it's going to be great no matter what haterz say. I'm not calling you a hater, but if you only heard that is was going to bad, I would actually look into it for myself. :icon_thumbsup:

Just in case your not familiar with the new Frostbite engine Battlefield: BC is using, then you might want to check out all the new features and graphics that it will bring to life on the Xbox 360 and PS3.

Sorry if it *sounds* like I'm yelling by the all caps, but for real dude... ;)

Bad Company is changing the way First Person Shooters are played today and whether you hate EA or not, everyone must pick up a copy of BC.

This line should say it all to all doubters/haters out there...

This is something really outside of the box, so to speak. And if you are into FPS games, you should most definetly check out BF:BC...

Unfortunately it's being done on consoles instead of PC's, where you have customers that are old enough that they don't have to ask mommy to buy them the newest game.

[Deflex]

That's very true in a way GrossKopf, but people need to realize, espicially with Bad Company, that this isn't just another FPS game. Consoles might be out of reach for most of the fans in the battlefield series, but I have a 360 and I'm glad so for the majority of you out there, BC is a reason to get an Xbox if you don't have one.

This line should say it all to all doubters/haters out there...

Definently. (thx Stone) ;)

Yup, Don't worry folks though! Just because this game is really going to be outside the box doesn't mean that when you buy it from the store that it won't be in there... ;)

My kids won't be asking my wife, it will be "Daddy, Daddy, pleeaaassseeee...."

And I'll get it for the PS3 so that I can play it with them. :D

[jarrodbevans]

Is this what people are refering to as bf3 and is this bad company coming out on pc

[StoneCold313]

LOL.. :laugh:

[Deflex]

lol, yeah - If you're going to ask my mom about anything technical, then forget about it cuz you'll get nowhere... AT ALL! :laugh:

The moral of the story is... Always ask your father! :nod:

Is this what people are refering to as bf3 and is this bad company coming out on pc

Yes and no, somebody first asked if Bad Company would be on the PC, and from there it kind of turned into a debate of who thinks that it will or won't, and then we're sort of "off topic." lol :p

*Pretty sure BF3 is not Battlefield: BC though... (I don't think that anybody knows FOR SURE that B:BC will be release on PC later, but it's possible.) :|:

LOL.. :laugh:

lol, guess that was a good joke... ;) I got plenty more in my back pocket!

[Nike]

Well ok ok ...ill do my hw next time xD

There was leaked PDF file roaming around the interwebs while back.. And it could be that the Battlefield 3 is named as Bad Company..

Here's the info what was in that PDF
* Release in late 2008
* Powered by “Frostbite DX”
* Set in year modern day (just like BF2, ed.)
* Will ship with 8 maps, each supporting up to 40-players per team
* Two playable factions, NATO and MEC (Middle Eastern Coalition)
* Same “ticket-based” gameplay style as before
* Maps are mostly urban, based in Middle East
* Squads and Commanders are present, introduced are “Battalions” which consist of three to four squads.
* Five playable classes; Sniper, Assault, Engineer, Medic and Support
* Will feature 48 different vehicles (24 for each faction)
* Will feature 34 different weapons (17 for each faction) and another 22 unlocks (for both factions), in total 56 different weapons.
* Other unlocks include different types of ammunition, body armor, helmets, camouflage and accessories.
* Possible public beta in “Summer 2008″
* Online stats tracking, awards and “real world ranks”
* “Soldier” feature, looks like MMO-styled characters and avatars
* Ranked servers will be available for resellers weeks before the game ships (for testing, apparently, ed.)
* In-game replay and recording feature
* VoIP, friends list, in-game IM-client and “extensive clan support”
* Built-in auto software updater (no more patches!, ed.)
* Widows Vista and OS X (no XP?!, ed.)
* Announcement and teaser trailer in January 2008.

A map is mentioned by name, called “Baghdad Burning”, and appears to be a massive urban map, similar to BF2’s very popular “Strike at Karkand”. The game is powered by “Frotbite DX”, currently the Frostbite engine is used in Battlefiled: Bad Company on PS3 and Xbox 360. The “DX” could refer to DirectX (10?), a PC version of the Frostbite engine.

Please note that none of this is confirmed, we’ve emailed a few people from EA and DICE (Battlefield developers) and will update the article as soon as we know more. Also note that we cannot, for obvious (legal) reasons, release the PDF document. Stay tuned for more info.

[Update 1] A few wanted to know if the document mentions in-game advertising, it does not, but wouldn’t be surprising, considering BF2142 had in-game advertising.

[Update 2] EA responded to the rumor with a “no comment” statement. Still waiting for a reply from DICE (which will probably be the same).

[Update 3] For clarification, the document doesn’t say that XP is not supported, it only lists Vista and OS X.

[Update 4] Further investigation reveals that EA DICE owns the domain “battlefield3.com” (not so important, since it was registered in 2004, so was battlefield4.com etc.). Still no reply from DICE. Stay tuned for further updates.

And here's the link

Just remember that nothing of this has been officially confirmed by EA/DICE. Allthough the PDF came originally from "tipster"...

[Deflex]

Well ok ok ...ill do my hw next time xD

lol, I wasn't trying to be hurtful or anything - just trying to make a point that this game will be the BEST... EVER! Yeah, you're going to really have to check it out bro. ;)

There was leaked PDF file roaming around the interwebs while back.. And it could be that the Battlefield 3 is also Bad Company..

Yeah, I've seen the info... Still don't think it means BF3 = B:BC... :p

But they do share the same Graphics engine - Frostbite.

I meant to say that the PC version could be also named as Bad Company. I didn't mean that BF3 = BF:BC...

*Fixed it to earlier post.*

[jradhow]

it sucks how us pc players are getting shafted. we wont get the pc version for at least 6 months after the 360/ps3 release dates... :(

i remember when i was big into GTA and thats what rockstar did. i would have to wait to play the game. so finnaly when GTA SA came out i broke down and bouth a PS2. i guess im the sucker because thats what the console companys want you to do... im not doing it this time...

[thecreepa]

Check that out thats my b-day!

Sweet, mine too.

But I'm very hesitant to buy another BF game for my 360 after that last thing they released. God did BF on console suck!

[Deflex]

Well I'd rather play a Battlefield series game on the 360... I heard that Modern Combat was ok, but didn't exactly suck - either way, BC will be so much better! :D

The more I talk about it, the more excited I get!!!!!!! :p CAN'T F)!(#&% WAIT ANY LONGER... :D

Hopefully DICE let's people to change the key binds in the game...

So then i finally have an excuse to buy USB keyboard(some cheap one).

Then i just hook it up to my PS3 with USB mouse, change the keybinds and PWN everyone who's using joystick... :D

[Deflex]

Using a joystick is pretty hardcore though, I've got to admit- it's totally awsome and you actually feel like you're in control! ;)

[StoneCold313]

But there is downsides to it too... It's difficult to shoot accurately..

But it's awesome in games like Assassins Creed... And driving/sport games...

[Deflex]

Hmmm, Assassin's Creed... :)

I've looked at it so many times and it looks awsome, but considering there is no co-op or online gameplay, is it really worth the 60 bucks or whatever they're selling it for???

Looks like a freakin' awsome game to me tho! :nod:

[StoneCold313]

It was loads of fun... But there isn't much to do after you complete the story. Unless you like to collect flags or hunt down templars... I traded it in after i completed the story...

If you can find it someplace with cheap prize tag on it, then i'd say go for it... Besides it's good to know what happened in first game considering future Assassins Creed's(it's a trilogy)..

[Deflex]

Sweet! Well I'll at least rent it from Blockbuster or somewhere for $6. (I'm not sure if you have Blockbusters in Finland either but... ;))

[StoneCold313]

*sigh*

No we don't(atleast i don't know about them)...

Im not sure about game rental in other cities.. But here where i live, there is only few places where you can rent games. And they aren't exactly the latest games... :D

[Deflex]

lol... too bad for you then. :D

[StoneCold313]

lol... too bad for you then. :D

Yeah, tell me about it...

But only game what i have tought that wasn't worth of the money has been Army Of Two... Otherwise the games i have bought has been money well spent...

[Deflex]

:laugh: This must be the second or third time we got off topic on a Battleifield Bad Company forums and started a new conversation on console games...

:|: Hmmmm...

Cake? ;)

The cake is a lie... :D

But it seems that there isn't much of an posters to these BF:BC threads... So im guessing(i can be very wrong with this one too) that it doesn't matter that much...

[Deflex]

lol - Yeah, it's funny though and kind of sad in a way, because I have been telling everybody I play with online since a few weeks back if they've heard of Battlefield Bad Company and suprisingly, no one has... at all, but now I'm more dedicated to tell everyone about it...

I think EA really hasn't done anything "huge" to make sure that people knows about this game...

They should ask RockStar if they could teach them thing or two about ads...

EA's In-game ads seems so little next to this...

:D

[Deflex]

True, but where I am - you'd be arrested for graffitti no matter who you are... ;)

[StoneCold313]

Here you need a permission... And it ain't easy to get... There is actually only one graffiti what i know is legal... And it's about same size as the "GTA IV coming soon" ad.. :D
