Video: Bad Company brings Haggard and jerky
There's a new Battlefield: Bad Company "Haggard Trailer" available on the internets today and in Bad Company tradition it's rather odd and funny. Simply put, we love it. We'll let the trailer do the explaining, but just be prepared for beef jerky, talk about blowing things up and Sweet Water. Oh, and if you didn't already know ... Europe is a country, because Haggard says so.[Thanks, enfo]
Battlefield: Bad Company trailer takes stab at humanity
Wait a minute, we're confused. We watched this entire trailer for Battlefield: Bad Company and saw not a single instance of shooting, radical explosions or particle effects. There was also no disembodied voice growling about how tough/what a rebel our character will be, nor were there any searing metal guitar solos. How are we supposed to know if we like the game or not? All that's here is a clearly defined, well-written, well-acted character named Haggard who seems enamored with explosions. As we watched, we began to get the oddest sensation. We weren't sure, but we think that's what it's like when other emotions are engaged besides the emotion that likes to see things blown up. ... Yuck. We need a shower.
Bad Company trailer now on XBLM
The Battlefield: Bad Company teaser trailer that was released to the interwebz earlier this month is now available on Xbox Live Marketplace. The trailer (which we've conveniently embedded above) highlights plenty of gameplay as well as exposing some of the overall storyline. We haven't quite figured out if the game is promoting war profiteering or not, but it's certainly promoting excessive destruction. Watch the video closely for plenty of real time destruction as environments crash down from an explosion. If you get the chance, download the HD version on Marketplace. It's real purdy.
Destructible environments in new Battlefield: Bad Company gameplay
There's nothing quite like destructible environments and this new Battlefield: Bad Company gameplay shows off just that. It's one thing to be in an all-out brawl against a ton of different people, but what to do when you're cornered in some house? Just blow up the wall and make your escape! Topple some trees if you'd like (if you're particularly good with your timing, perhaps it could land on a vehicle and make it explode or something else really dramatic). The action in the game seems pretty intense, but we'd expect nothing less from this franchise. We'll keep you up to date when it gets closer to release!
Battlefield: Bad Company Images
Gamersyde has a slew of new images of Battlefield: Bad Company. We haven't heard much on Bad Company short of a few screenshots since the trailer hit Marketplace back in February. These new shots are all pretty slick, showing off the characters, hum-vees, helicopters, weapon models, and some spiffy explosions and destructible environments. It's looking very pretty and we can't wait until we get more details on how well it plays. Check out the screens after the jump. [Thanks, Brian LQbano]
New Bad Company screens are looking good
Today, DICE released four new Battlefield: Bad Company screenshots and from what we can tell, they're pretty. All the screenshots are in game and showcase the Battlefield destruction in all its glory. Previously, we've been on the fence with the direction those trailers were going, but we can safely say we'll be watching for this game. Maybe the blend of comedy and war will be a welcome change to the genre or it could just get annoying. But, whatever happens, these screenshots show the visual potential Bad Company has. All four screenshots are viewable after the jump.
Video: Battlefield: Bad Company
The Battlefield: Bad Company trailer that was made available on Marketplace this morning is now available online (also in HD). As a service to our readers that are currently chained to a desk and can't access a 360, we bring you said trailer. It's generally fashionable to take a few potshots at EA when given the chance, but we have to admit Bad Company looks like it could be a bit of alright. The trailer showcases something that many games don't: a sense of humor. The trailer isn't necessarily indicative of gameplay, but there's no denying that the engine is nice. Give it a watch and tell us what you think.
Battlefield: Bad Company info unleashed
Want to hear some info about the next Battlefield game set for the 360 and PS3 next year? Why, you're in luck! We've got the scoop. How would you like a deep, cinematic single-player experience set in a near-future conflict? It's not World War II! That's a great start (now if only RPG main characters would stop being able to use swords as a default. More spear-wielders, please!). Also, there's not as much gritty realism here -- more dark humor. The world of B:BC is completely destructible. Shape the battlefield to match your play style! Drive tanks through buildings, make a hole in a wall for optimal sniping, etc. Can you stack stuff? That'd be the only improvement, really. Stacking crates or something. You get your choice of land, sea, or air vehicles as well to keep things fresh and fun. Speaking of keeping it fresh and fun, how do 24-player online matches sound? It's shaping up to be a neato game. Anyone with a next-gen system (sans Wii, regrettably) will have to keep their eye on this one!
Yet more Battlefield
DICE has announced a new Battlefield game in addition to the upcoming Battlefield 2142. Entitled Battlefield: Bad Company, the game promises to deliver a solid single player experience, something lacking in previous Battlefield titles. This single screenshot presumably shows off the bad company in question. DICE hopes to bring the "unpredictable nature of the sandbox experience" found in Battlefield multiplayer to the single player campaign of Bad Company.Could this possibly breathe some new life into an arguably stale genre? We certainly hope so.[Via Joystiq]
