It looks like the waiting period is finally over and publishers are starting to move on to showing a bit more of the big 2008 releases. And Battlefield: Bad Company certainly is one of them. I sure would love to get more videos like this one, informative and funny. It sure looks like the developers had fun :)

Looks exactly like BF2, just a little better.

I'm not sure if you meant the gameplay, or the graphics. You'd be wrong on both counts though :P

wait wait wait, you can have this "oh no another war game rolleyes" thing with army of two or mercenaries (like i do!), but not with battlefield, cmon!
is like saying, oh no not another blond top model rolleyes, when it's Claudia Schiffer you are talking about! ;)

That comparison might work if this were BF3 and not Bad Company 2 instead.

Well, this is just what every dev video brings to the crowd. A lot of promises, but I am still yet to be convinced whether the developer can actually bring all those different things together, and create 1 fluent game.

BF2 is still plenty better than Bad Company with 24 or less players. It's hardly the player cap that ultimately makes the core franchise so much better than the spin-offs. This game will fail in areas that made BF2 unique, and a giant leap forward for the franchise. Where is the commander mode, the chain of command in general? How well are kits defined, how limited is the assault class without the aid of the support classes? Do we at least get jets this time?

This game will miss the mark in the same way that Bad Company did, but it will do it with more style. It will be less team oriented by design, and the kits will be overpowered to support the lonewolf gameplay style that they're expecting out of people.

BF2 is good fun with 10 people btw.

God damn swedes, horrible pronunciation. The engine looks terrific though. Destructible environments, sandbox gameplay...sounds sweet. I hope it lives up to it. A bit booring with yet another shooter though, it would be cool to see an engine like this with the same level of interaction with the environment in other genres.

I asume your are american, you better learn a 2nd language first and then you can complain about swedish pronunciation.... ;)

But it will not fail in all areas, because what makes Battlefield unique is not just classes, but also the big scale of the maps and vehicles like tanks, jeeps, helicopters. If you compare CoD4 to Battlefield Modern Combat (XBOX 360) i just can laugh about the scale of CoD4 maps. Then, CoD4 provides no tanks, no jeeps, no helicopters, nothing. And Battlefield Modern Combat is much more team oriented than any CoD will every be (except for CoD1, because this was not bad).

lol "shitty noob gameplay" i no!

It's still modern combat 2.. which I suppose is good enough for some people. Modern Combat had a pretty solid fan base. Not all games are trying to be battlefield btw, and this one is.. so maybe it should do a good job at it. Having Jeeps and tanks and helos is a good start, but that's not enough for all of us.

The COD4 comparison is a horrible one, not because the game is bad, like you seem to think, and not because it's excellent, like it actually is either. The games simply have very different goals in mind.. which I suppose you could claim in relation to the rest of the BF series as well.. but that comparison is harder not to make considering the billing.
