Battlefield Bad Company 2 : The GameRelease Date 4th of march 2010
for PC, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3
developed by Digital Illusions CE (DICE)
published by Electronic Arts (EA)
SynopsisThe Bad Company gang once more find themselves in the heart of the action, where they must use every weapon system and vehicle at their disposal to live. The action unfolds with unprecedented intensity, bringing in a level of fervor to vehicular warfare never before experienced in a contemporary warfare action game.
The 'B' company fight their way through white mountaintops, heavy jungles and dusty villages. With a fat arsenal of deadly weaponary and a slew of vehicles to aid them, the crew set off on their mission and they are ready to blow, shoot down, attack through, wipe out and absolutely destroy anything that gets in their way. Absolute destruction is the name of the game either online or offline, enemies will soon find there is nowhere to hide.
Battlefield: Bad Company marked the first introduction in DICE's first-person gunslinger series to be designed solely for consoles. As part of that conversion, the franchise's trademark 64-player online matches were scaled down to 24 in an attempt to keep things running swimmingly on more arduous network configurations. Despite this, Bad Company's online multiplayer managed to preserve lot of that chaos by way of fresh destroyable buildings and the remaining presence of vehicles.
The B-company will be back but this time for consoles and PC. The release is announced for the 5th of March 2010. So what is new in this game? In all interviews the DICE devs don’t miss to tell us that they have been working on the frostbite engine. Destruction 2.0 is the keyword. While some buildings in Bad Company couldn’t be destroyed this time you will be able to raze everything to the ground.
On the high end of the scale, do enough damage to the biggest structures and you'll bring the roof down. "You will get a warning when the house is about to collapse so you'll have a few seconds to get out" Troedsson explains. "If you're defending a flag inside that house you're going to have problems."
“Battlefield Bad Company™ 2 brings the spectacular Battlefield gameplay to the forefront of next-gen consoles and PC - featuring best-in-class vehicular combat set across a wide range of huge sandbox maps each with a different tactical focus.
New vehicles like the All Terrain Vehicle (ATV) and the UH-60 transport helicopter allow for all-new multiplayer tactics in the warzone, extensive fine-tuning ensures that this will be the most realistic vehicle combat experience to date.
Tactical destruction is taken to new heights with the updated DICE ‘Frostbite’ engine. Players can now take down entire buildings or create their own vantage points by blasting holes through cover, thereby delivering a unique dynamic experience in every match.
Players can also compete in 4-player teams in 2 exclusive squad-only game modes, fighting together to unlock exclusive team awards and achievements. Spawn on your squad to get straight into the action, and use gadgets such as the tracer dart in-conjunction with the RPG to devastating effect.
Excellence in the battlefield is rewarded with an extensive range of pins, insignias and stars to unlock along with 50 dedicated ranks to achieve.
Variety also extends into the range of customizable kits weapons and vehicles available. With 4 distinct character classes, and weapons, gadgets and specializations players have over 15000 kit variations to discover and master players will be able to fine-tune their preferred fighting style to give them the edge in combat.
All of these features combine to deliver spectacular and unpredictable action moments found nowhere else in a modern warfare experience.

BF:BC2 new stuffOut of combat healing is new to the BF franchise. If injured, you don’t necessarily need a medic. Self regeneration while beeing “out of combat” is new to the game. But don’t panic the medic character won’t be useless. The self regeneration is something that will happen slowly and it’s not like in COD4 or similar games.
Harcore ModeNo crosshairs, no kill cam and realistic adapted weapon’s ballistic. For those who enjoyed playing realistic mods for BF2 like project reality this is going to be the right game modus.
