Overview

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an upcoming video game in development by EA Digital Illusions CE and to be published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. The game is a direct sequel to Battlefield: Bad Company. The game was announced at one of Electronic Arts' earnings conferences and was showcased for the first time at E3 2009. Street date for Battlefield Bad Company 2 of March 2, 2010 was announced at the EA press conference at Gamescom.

Gameplay

Gameplay in Bad Company 2 resembles that of Battlefield: Bad Company and takes place in the mountainous regions along the border of Russia among other places. Bad Company 2 will include locations in snowy mountains, dense jungles and also sandy deserts within both story mode and multiplayer mode. The game allows players to play through missions using any tactic they choose. Like its predecessor, Bad Company 2 features destructible environments, however, more destruction is now possible; players can now completely destroy a building rather than just its walls. Bad Company 2 and Battlefield Vietnam are the only two games in the series to have blood in it.
Multiplayer will allow players to choose from a set of weapon kits before each spawn, the number of which has been further reduced from Bad Company's five down to four: "Assault," "Engineer," "Recon," and "Medic," removing the "Specialist" kit, whose compact assault rifle and C4 abilities have been split between the "Engineer" and "Recon" classes, respectively.
A customizable weapon selection menu is also new to the Bad Company series (similar to unlocks in Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142) giving players the choice of different ACOG's or Reflex sights including short or long barrel grenade launchers; these are also chosen before each match.
Each match will give players experience points allowing them to level to multiple ranks as they did in the previous series. Experience points will be gained by each opponent killed and destroying the objectives. The points gained will be displayed in the screen.
A dog tag system coined from a similar system in Battlefield 2142 & Battlefield: Bad Company will allow players to collect an opponent's tag when killing by melee.
Although Fans' votes are not finalized , WWII-era weapons from Battlefield 1943 will be included in the game, but only owners of the Battlefield 1943 game will get access to them in online play.
There will be new vehicles in Bad Company 2 such as the UH-60 Black Hawk, a quad bike, a 2 man patrol boat and an AA-gun mounted on a light tank
If pre-ordered at GameStop, the AKS-74 will be unlocked for use.

Beta

On November 5th, 2009 DICE announced a beta for Bad Company 2. Players will be able to have access to the beta by preordering the game. The PS3 version of the beta will start on November 19, while the PC version will be available in December.

Bleh warfare games.

It does look pretty nicely detailed though some of those destruction effects were very nice.

Its EA so will probably be on steam. Just not UK steam until 2011. Curse you EA!!!

Bad Company was a brilliant game, or atleast what i experienced in the demo was excellent. The humour in the single player is similar to what you would come to expect from Valve in TF2. It's not your average wargame.

This was one of the games i really wanted to get but didn't in the end because i didn't consider a console a worthwhile expense. But now there are more titles on the PS3, and prices have come down considerably, i am seriously considering investing in a PS3. Maybe for Christmas..

This game will be better than COD MW2, but will be ignored in the hype of yet another COD game coming out. Shame really considering all those people will miss out on true destructible environments and insane stunts on golf caddies.

Battlefield originated on the PC and now they're bringing it back (to where it should be). I've been watching this for a while and it comes out on my b-day too!

Be still my beating heart.

This just picked up MWII, stabbed it in the face and kicked it in a ditch.

If you mean it as an insult to the Battlefield Series or BF:BC let me just tell you that is not true at all.

Battlefield is far superior

as i type this i'm waiting for youtube's of it to buffer but will this game have the same humor that bad company had, cause the one trailer i saw definitely was not funny as it was scenes of a squad being blown to crap and no humor was in sight...but the bad company series from the first game were hilarious. Where's my humor, i want funnies! BUT, i won't hate it cause it's a serious game just a weird change in direction if one game had humor and this one doesn't but still has the same title. I'd find that weird

What's this? Role reversal!? CoD4 was the superior to BC1, but now BC2 is the superior to MW2?

I played BF:BC2 while GamesCom 2009 in Cologne. Although this was the first time I had a XBox360-Gamepad in my hands, it was actually 20 funny minutes. But I will wait for the PC version, as it's the only way FPS are meant to be played...

I liked BF1942 to BF2, but then it started to realized that the physic and explosions system of the engine sucked. So I left out everything in between BF2 and now BF:BC2.

As disappointed as I am in DICE giving the BF series a story mode with BC, I am honestly looking forward to playing this. Hopefully it'll bring back some memories of the good ole' BF2142 days, with squads, and skill unlockables, and teamwork. I'm going to preorder the game from GameStop later on today; AKS-74U FTW.

I already preordered the Limited edition @ webhallen.se
I can't freaking wait, Desctruction 2.0 is gonna be gamerorgasm for me, since 1.0 already was great!
One thing I hope they fix is the überaccurate enemies, annoyed the shit out of me in BC1
