The State of Gaming - Battlefield Bad Company 2
Modern Warfare 2 has Major Reputational Problems!
Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 was released in early November last year. In the intervening period, Infinity Ward have released two patches to fix some major bugs and exploits, but have refused to say anything about DLC or its contents apart from it being released in Spring. Just this week, however, Robert Bowling tweeted that DLC news will be released this week, and in one tweet, mentioned a weird website.
They have to announce some DLC, because there’s a heap of bad press about Infinity Ward and Activision at the moment, surrounding the inglorious removal of the two lead developers, supposedly for insubordination. There’s talk that the DLC can’t be released without these two guys permission, so it’s off to the courts to decide. In the meantime, us gamers all lose faith in MW2, and both Infinity Ward and Activision lose credibility and what little support they have left…
The only way I’m going to return to MW2 is if the DLC is way-out-there awesome!
Introducing Battlefield Bad Company 2
In the meantime, I’ve been playing the new Battlefield release, the second iteration of Bad Company. The same four characters return in a battle against the Russians to stop the deployment of a terrifying weapon on US soil.
The game has a deep (and long) single player campaign, and the usual online multiplayer component.
In short, I love it!
