Battlefield: Bad Company

[MetalAttack]

Built from the ground-up for next-generation consoles using Digital Illusions’ bleeding-edge Frostbite™ game engine, Battlefield: Bad Company drops gamers behind enemy lines with a squad of renegade soldiers who risk it all on a personal quest for gold and revenge. Featuring a deep, cinematic single-player experience loaded with adventure and dark humor, the game delivers the series’ trademark sandbox gameplay in a universe where nearly everything is destructible.

Sadly, its Still EA, wait for the 5th patch to fix all the other patchs and the 6th patch to fix the 5th

That looks like something straight out of Crysis. In fact that Jeep looks exactly like the Jeeps in Crysis look like, gunner and all. Which is kinda lame when a company is promoting "OMFG Our graphics are 1337 h4x0r" when they are only just achieving what someone else achieved 6+ months ago.

You think EA is original? lol.

Evil You think EA is original? lol.

Hahaha good point

[Aegis]

aren't crysis' graphics still bleeding edge tho?

[Milenko]

Can have the best graphics in the world, but I still won't touch it if it doesn't have good gameplay.

Edit: There's no PC version, so I won't touch it anyway

I was going to wait for a review and think about getting this. But this is just stupid.
From Kotaku Microtransactions: EA Charging For Bad Company Weapons?]

EA Charging For Bad Company Weapons? pricegun.jpg Word from the Battlefield: Bad Company beta test is that several weapons in the game's arsenal are locked, with "Available for purchase on Xbox Live Marketplace" notations next to them. In total 10 weapons are listed as for sale, with five of them also available in the Gold Edition of the game. What this basically means is that people willing to drop a little extra cash, be it in the store or on Xbox Live, will have more weapons to choose from than someone who scrapes together just enough to pick up the game itself. This is not the way microtransactions should be used. Cosmetic additions and extra maps are all well and good, but allowing players to pay in order to get a leg up on the competition is just slimy. Multiplayer games suffer from enough balance issues without this sort of thing going on. Where will this lead? Perhaps eventually they'll allow you to purchase a much better surrogate player to represent you in matches, taking the term "professional gaming" to an all new level. Maybe we can pay for ammo next! "Everybody down! He bought extra clips!" *sigh*

[Milenko]

Ok yeah, that's pathetic.
Companies that offer additional content for Solo use (such as Guitar Hero songs) is an excellent idea.

Making items available to people who are willing to pay more, is a bit unfair.
But the sad thing is, people will pay for them and they will make their money.

I'm wondering though, will the purchased weapons just be different models (but retaining the same damage output etc of their counterparts), or will they be more powerful?

[Tachi]

Whats worse is that article makes it sound like the weapons are already there and will be on the disk when it ships :/ If its just different models thats fine but meh.
