Battlefield Bad Company II

Filed in archive FPS on January 5, 2010

Battlefield Bad Company II is set for release this March.

The best franchise in the genre of PC FPS war games returns to the platform after a spell on Xbox 360 and, for some reason, PS3. Having almost forgotten what it was all about, the developers have made the right decision, and it's coming back to the PC.

It will also be set for release on consoles, but we are being led to believe that the PC version will be as close to the ideals that made the old games great as possible. Realistic and immersive war simulation, where gamers are rewarded for team work and staying alive as opposed to failed James Bond-style, go-it-alone attempts (see Call of Duty), was the order of the day with Battlefield II, and we can't wait to have the open, non-linear online gameplay with the much-improved game engine. The first Bad Company had destructible environments to keep all from snipers to tanks guessing, and you can see some videos of what to expect with the sequel here.

We'll be talking a lot about this game, so let us know how excited you are about this, and whether or not you were a fan of the franchise before they defected to console...
