[edit] Vehicles Picture

I took the vehicles picture off. We have no right to use an image that is clearly IGNs. Orracle107 (talk) 00:50, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Storyline

I've read on the PSU forums, a user posted information he/she recently read in the latest issue of Game Informer. Such information included: - Will be released in spring 2007. - It's for both the XBox 360 and Playstation 3. - There will be more focus on single-player. There will be a proper storyline and will have four main characters, no more playing as a no-name soldier. - It will have fully destructible environments. - The game is set approximately 10 years in the future. Whether or not this could be posted because of eligibility, it'll float around the Discussion until someone sees fit to put it into the actual article-- My IP's Already Listed

[edit] Trivia

The trivia section is incorrect, Battlefield Bad Company is not the only un-numbered game. There is Battlefield: Vietnam.

[edit] Platforms

It says in all sources I have read "It's for both the XBox 360 and Playstation 3." Confirmed. However PSP and PC are still speculation. And yet PC is clearly stated on the wiki article... Here is the original Source of the news which stated that it will be for PSP and PC also: [1] For Now I am going to remove the PC and PSP links on the Wiki until there is more information not speculation on the platforms.

Game Informer stated that one of the for-sure platforms was PsP (I will soon be able to quote this), and so does the Wiki-Article! SupaSoldier 21:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Why is there only one part (battlefield 2 modern combat) for PS2? Why not BF 2142? Or this one? Skip B. 13:49, 25 februarie 2007

In the official page, only xbox and PS3 are listed. There is no use linking old pages about the PC version as any new source has not said anything about the PC version. Rumors say that PC will have it's own game (Battlefield 3) El Ucca (talk) 17:45, 8 January 2008 (UTC) I agree, as far as rumours I've heard both in other online games and on forums pc will have its own game possibly without the single player feature. andrewrox424 Bleep 12:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

    • There is no PC version for Bad Company thus far, but it may turn out to be a later release for PC, much like World in Conflict. TheL1berat3r (talk) 16:55, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] bad company online

Why can't bad company have more then 24 players????????? [22ndCW]Dell970 01:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

How would we know? My guess is that it has to do with the fact that it's mainly, if not exclusively, for console systems. Elyscape 22:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Thats sucks for us Computer geeks!!!!! [22ndCW, IC ArmA]Dell970 14:20, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Hey guys don't be complaining ;^) I have a mac and there's like 0 to 7 games that are actually good out for it, that have a nice or fun online multiplayer! §SupaSoldier 21:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Thats what you get for buying a mac! haha HarveyDanger 02:36, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Hahaha, Very funny. ;^) §†SupaSoldier†§ 03:06, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I hope it will actually be released for the PC, as I'm in the process of building a new kickass rig from scratch. I have no intention of buying a console just to play a few games. 193.69.146.66 09:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
Just so you guys know, its meant to be 32 player not 24. andrewrox424 Bleep 06:15, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
Uh no it's not. It's meant for 24. idk where you got your info....TheL1berat3r (talk) 15:40, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Release date

Anyone know of any confirmation of the March 1st release date. I don't see it on GameFly, and theres been no online hype recently about it. If it were a week away I would think there would be alot more talk about it on Kotaku and PS3Fanboy, etc... --Cmsjustin 15:19, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I spotted an inconsistency. The first paragraph states, "It is expected to be released in 2007. [2]", whereas on the top-right, it states, "Release date(s) 2008 TBA". Would someone please update this with the latest info (I only just found out about this game). If not, I'll be glad to research the answer. Modul8r 19:55, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

I think it is June 23. I have seen it in a few places now.Sargent York

[edit] Trailer

Does aomeone wanna add anything to the wiki about the Trailer that was just released? The Pace 13:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

I have not yet seen a trailer for the game, would it be possible that you could provide a link to the trailer? Thanks. Stickeylabel 13:43, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtwf6YZdmfU Sorry for the lateness of my reply. The Pace 11:49, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

That trailer did not work for me. It said "this page cannot be displayed". Sargent York

[edit] Characters

Is all this info about the characters based solely on the trailer? if so, i really think we're reading too far into it, you cant make deductions on a characters personality based on a few words. If i said "i like chocolate" it wouldnt mean i eat chocolate to the exclusion of all other food-stuffs. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.4.74.65 (talk) 19:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

    • EA and EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) have both released information regarding the campaign's four squad members. Also, the Battlefield: Bad Company webpage has a section for video "blogs" of the 4 squadmats, 3 of which are currently available. the previous link is for the Haggard blog, but you can access all 3 from the site.

[edit] Sarge

He really sounds like The Rock... --Plankton5005 00:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vehicles and weapons.

possibly a patriot?
If I'm wrong please correct me. lol
--Therealmat 15:29, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
Agreed they look fairly correct. Plus most are similar to battlefield 2. Keep it up! andrewrox424 Bleep 12:14, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Someone needs to add them to the page, I also suspect another of the vehicles to be a Leopard 2, I'm not quite sure though. --Therealmat (talk) 21:21, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I'll try, but don't blame me if it ain't great. andrewrox424 Bleep 05:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)
There, done, someone please change the layout of it. Thanks, andrewrox424 Bleep 06:20, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New Trailer!

For all you fans out there, there is a new trailer up! Trailer 2 I can't recognise the exact vehicles or weapons but, theres heavy armored tanks, attack copters, HMMWV's, Rocket launchers, Assult Rifles with grenade launcher attachment, different uniform selection (possibly), pump action shotguns. Also on that page there are full size screenshots. andrewrox424 Bleep 03:55, 8 September 2007 (UTC)


Wow! The graphics are perfect! They are so realistic! I'm very impressed. Man, I wish they could have graphics like that for Battlefield 2. That would be awesome!

--Hornet94 (talk) 06:18, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Apparently from what I've read on forums there will be a battlefield 3, like an online one with 64 players instead of 32. andrewrox424 Bleep 12:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] wait a sec

i just realised that this will have a single play story line! about damn time,i wished they would have put a story line in the single player on the other games,it would have made great games even better —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.155.57.127 (talk) 01:45, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but battlefield wasn't really designed to have a storyline. If you wanted a storyline back then, you would have got Call Of Duty, or Medal Of Honour. The battlefield series was designed for online/LAN gameplay, not single player. andrewrox424 Bleep 06:42, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Weasel words? Where?

Suggest we remove this tag...

LarsHolmberg (talk) 15:59, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Adding a note about Battlefield 3

I suggest adding a note that Bad company is referred to as Battlefield 3 more often than not, but that is just plain wrong. EA has mentioned this officially that neither Battlefield Heroes nor Bad company is Battlefield 3. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Simon Moon (talk • contribs) 04:57, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Release Date

The game is delayed worldwide. Stop editing the release date with bad sources like online stores who don't have correct information. Here is the press release. http://investor.ea.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=88189&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1102936
Delayed till fiscal 2009, which starts April 1, 2008

    • Dont know who gives you your information, bucko, but hows about you stop smokin' with him? The final release date for BATTLEFIELD: BAD COMPANY is June 23, 2008. Maybe you got mixed up with EndWar or something................?.......TheL1berat3r (talk) 15:33, 7 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Laser Designator section?

I'd do it myself but I'm not too good at the editing process yet, but I think that the Laser Designator section should be deleted, but the information should be merged with the weapons section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wenis360 (talk • contribs) 22:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Another section merge

anyone else think the Multiplayer section should be merged with the Gameplay modes section? since multiplayer is a type of gameplay mode.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wenis360 (talk • contribs) 03:11, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Contraversy

There is a huge anmmount of shit going around about having to pay for guns. I think its worth mentioning

  • EA has now stated that there will be no 'mini-transactions' in the game. However special guns may be achieved by preordering the game, but these will be available after playtime in the game, just not immediately available. So the mention isn't that worthy. andrewrox424 Bleep 09:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Correct, in fact the following was included in the article!!

The Battlefield Bad Company Beta contains 20 locked guns, 10 can be unlocked through playing the game, while 5 of the other 10 will be unlocked in free promotions before and after release. The remaining 5 unlockable weapons will only be made available through purchase of the Gold Edition of the game or by achieving the final rank (level 25) in the game.

TheL1berat3r (talk) 17:09, 26 May 2008 (UTC)Ω

[edit] Release Date

On the FindAllFive site it says the release date is June 25th at the bottom of the screen. Should the release date be changed on the article? X3ni (talk) 10:30, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Biased POV

Claim without citation: "It has been reported that the demo suffers from a lot of lag and renders the game unplayable in most cases." If it really did render the game unplayable there would be some valid citation of it.

The whole Criticisms section is ridiculously ambiguous. The citation is offers actually praises the game. I personally don't think a criticisms section should be included in this game if it's only from some disgruntled gamers. I'm sure the same editors want to put a section in the Halo 3 page saying how they can't kill anyone so the game sucks. 207.255.62.9 (talk) 07:14, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

I'll remove that, and off the record I haven't recieved any lag while playing the game online...and if I did it was minor. The person that wrote that must have had a really bad ocnnection. Thanks for bringing it up. --APShinobi My Contribs 14:09, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
I've got quite a lot of lag in the past few days (as have the other players in each game) - EA/DICE have actually commented on it, but I dunno if it's really notable enough for inclusion. Fin©™ 14:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
