Earlier this morning Fahey filled us in on Bad Company's upcoming conquest mode which you can download later this week. In this video EA Dice Producer Gordon Van Dyke illustrates what you can expect. It marks a return to very a familiar style of gameplay for those who are veterans of the Battlefield series. Best of all it's coming to you free of charge!
DICE has announced that updates for Battlefield: BC are on the way, including new multiplayer game types, and patches for many of the bugs in multiplayer as well. Here are the specific issues that DICE has said they will be fixing.
With its Frostbite engine, Dice has created a warzone that is almost completely destructible. Nooks and crannies that were once a safe haven in other shooters can be reduced to rubble with a well-placed tank shell or mortar strike.
Battlefield Bad Company is the most fun, addictive shooter released so far this year. While far from perfect, the intense sandbox warfare is something that you have to experience. Dice calls it tactical destruction. We call it explosive fun.
Once you've experienced the various highs and lows that Bad Company has to offer, it feels like an immensely polished, ambitious effort that will build up a strong following for all the right reasons. The single player portion, while never less than hugely entertaining, stops short of true greatness. The profound implications of a massively destructible environment make it a unique proposition in online gaming right now - albeit a riotous chaotic one"
With EA/DICE a little more than a month away from bringing Battlefield: Bad Company to stores, we had the opportunity to mess with the game's single-player campaign once more-and in what we expect is relatively final form. The tryout brought up some interesting points, but mainly showed us how fun and versatile the gameplay experience will be.
EA today confirmed for GameSpot that it has scrapped plans to charge extra for the weapons included in the Gold Edition of the game. Instead, those who purchase the Gold Edition will receive the weapons out of the box, while all others will gain access to the weapons by ranking up their online personas to the maximum level.
