Cat out of the bag (Battlefield: Bad Company)

motives

Since it's announced i thought it could be cool to shamelessly plug the game we are working on here in Stockholm!

Its called Battlefield: Bad Company and is due for release 2007:ish

Here is a website with scans from our release article in Game Informer:

Happy reading

Im really psyched about this project, Im workin on the houses (togheter with cubik) and its really starting to shape up. As far as my first title i couldnt be happier heh

rooster

holy crud, can you blow the crap out of any building part or just set areas? it looks sweet!

JKMakowka

Can't be arsed to read the entire article (never was a big Battlefield fan ), but the graphics are sweet!
Is there going to be a coop modus?

adam

I just read the article and as a fan of the franchise I'm really excited. I'm with Rooster on wondering if the entire building is destructible or just selected portions?

Daz

Those screens look great motives

Great attempt at realistic lighting. Environments look super. Weapons look really good too. Suptleties in the way of reflections and dust/haze in those screens are quite impressive. Cant wait to see some footage.

Moz

the real question?

Is it not going to be a unplayable buggy mess like all the other battlefield games?

Rick Stirling

I loved battlefield on the Xbox. So much so that I bought the 360 version today.

b1ll

another battlefield, WHEN WILL THEY STOP!
OMG!

lol

motives

im not sure how much i can talk about the actual destruction but its on a pretty massive scale. Stuff blow up when you shot at it

Moz: we are trying to make it as buggy as possible to keep the old "BF-feel"

ebagg

If they can make an open ended game with destrucible buildings like that, sign me UP! Finally an FPS game where urban warfare is done just right! First person rag doll ideas sound awesome too, sounds like an awesome gritty game!

EarthQuake

All those sexy, sexy bricks. I think i just came in my pants a little bit.

Cubik

Adam and rooster: Not sure what I or motives can say about this, so I guess you have to wait until marketing decides to answer this somewhere .

Also really exited about my first game job, will be great to hear what you guys think once it's released.

Destruction= fun in multiplayer.
Like worms.
Hours of fun with my friends. The only thing that got us was the turn based thing. ME and my friends like fast paced action for multiplayer, and destructive enviroments...
this could be perfect. Seriously. The idea of bombing a building actually blowing it apart is sweet.

Nice work, that's looking sweet! Really nice lighting on that Hummer too. I'm really looking forward to this one. Please give Jay Harrison a friendly trip up at the top of some steep stairs from me

What i've always missed from destructive environments is the fact that the ground doesn't deform. The buildings do, but when the same explosion happens on the ground, nothing changes. Just a plume of smoke. Well, I want to be able to hop from crater to crater, damnit! It would change the entire gameplay every different round. If the artillery were to blow holes into the pavement and make it difficult for vehicles, or nice little pre-made foxholes, it would be simply amazing.

Craters from explosives aren't very big unless you're talking about plane bombs. Ground can absorb a LOT of force.

But why announce another BF already? 2142 isn't even out yet.

PfhorRunner

Oh, well, never been in combat, so I wouldnt really know. It just sounded fun to me...

Thegodzero

KDR but what is real isn't nearly as fun as what isn't. ehhh?

I agree when things go boom it makes me happy.

I like the ragdolling concept, I hope you can knock someone on their ass with a rocket, then run up and knife them as they stagger to their feet!
