I just got an e-mail from EA’s press department confirming the development of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (2’s Company anyone?) with a current TBA release date. The press release was full of the usual ‘new weapons, vehicles, and stuff to blow up shtick’ but did feature this little nugget of information:
In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the ‘B’ company fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages.
Which hopefully means we won’t be playing through the same look-a-like places that Bad Company’s Campaign had. (Check out the screenshot at the top of this post.) The game is once again being developed by DICE and will be available for the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
Before that is released though, players will be treated to another Battlefield game, this time we’ll be going back to World War II (again.) Unlike Bad Company, Battledfield 1943 is solely a multiplayer experience, much like SOCOM: Confrontation on the PS3. The game offers endless hours of 24 player multiplayer action over three classic and tropic locations; Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Battlefield 1943 will also have players battling in aerial dog fights and trench combat, according to the release which sounds pretty awesome to me. The game will be available to play at New York Comic Con (Booth #1441) from February 6th-8th. Much like Bad Company 2, Battlefield 1943 has no release date but when it is released, will be available on the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.
My main question about all of this though, is where the hell is the Battlefield: Heroes game? That was the MMO for both casual and ‘hardcore’ gamers. That’s been in Beta since WWII. Hey-Ho!
