Battlefield Bad Company

Following up the sneak peek in the latest issue of Game Informer, EA has now officially announced the new single player-focused Battlefield title for next-gen consoles, Bad Company. The game uses Digital Illusion's Frostbite engine and is built from the ground up to take advantage of the Xbox 360 and PS3.


Bad Company has the player control a squad of renegade soldiers behind enemy lines, who fight not for glory but for vengeance and wealth. The game will deliver the traditional Battlefield sandbox gameplay, shaping it into a cinematic single player experience filled with dark humor and adventure. Environments are going to be as destructible as never before, with EA claiming that up to 90% of the game world can be blown to shreds.

While Bad Company will be a single player game at it's core, fans of multiplayer haven't been forgotten. A variety of the series' trademark multiplayer modes and options are going to be included as well, making it easy for players to test their skills acquired in the single player campaign against others. According to Karl Magnus Troedsson, senior producer at DICE, the developers are trying to bring the "unpredictable nature" of the previous Battlefield games, "where anything could happen at any moment" to a single player context.

Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3 and Xbox 360) is slated for a release in 2007, and that's all we can tell you up to this point. Stay tuned for updates, especially in light of the upcoming Leipzig Games Convention.

The one you linked is more of a "sneek-peek" to the game, this one's an official announcement directly from EA, along with some new info. Thanks though. :)

Does it make you feel important saying if something is old or not? How about if you read it before or thought you might of just not post a comment..? Heh I'm just giving you crap no worries. Anyways EA announces another sequel of a game hurray! Wait they have a killer single player campain but they didn't forget about multiplayer?? What about co-op that's what I want co-op is fun and great just think if they could get a live co-op going on that'd be sweet. Although I would imagine it being kind of hard to do plus you'd have to trust the others connection and all but I would love co-op
