Bad Company 2 Lands In The Battlefield With Additional Content
DICE has revealed that their hotly anticipated shooter Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will have first day content available through an in-game store at launch.
Speaking to WorthPlaying, BFBC2′s senior producer Patrick Bach spoke about the the game containing free and fee based DLC.
We see the game as the first step to a longer experience.We have an in-game store where you get free content or you can buy new content to the game, so it’s a very integral part of the game that we will have a long post-launch campaign.I think people will be thrilled to see what’s in that already. On day one, you will get some really cool stuff.
According to Bach, this is why you should pick up the game:
If you like a very deep and long multiplayer experience that competitive, easy-to-use and high quality, then this is the game for you. If you want a single-player that is dramatic and varied, with cool storytelling and cool characters and all these cool environments, it’s all part of the same package. I don’t see a reason why you shouldn’t pick it up.
I don’t see a reason as well, BFBC2 is looking like one hell of a contender to dethrone Modern Warfare 2 in all aspects, including multiplayer. Don’t believe me?
Bad Company 2 arrives on March 2 in North America and March 5 in Europe. The demo is now available on the PS store.

hello …
played the demo & really liked it, the only problem is the time factor.
been buying a lot of games & still have old games to start / finish (AC1/inFamous/Batman AA/UC2/LBP) LOL.
i may buy it later on for it’s a wonderful game.
cheers!
EA does this for a lot of their games…if it’s anything like their sports games or Need for Speed most of the things you can buy will either be cheats or other items that you could unlock just through playing the game (so still cheats basically). Apparently, EA thinks most of their gamers don’t really want to play through the game to earn unlockables, they would rather fork up the cash to get them early. Maybe this won’t be the case with Bad Company 2, but I doubt it.
@giese095 I have a feeling DICE would never agree to that kind of set up. If they were going to add extra content it would be completely new stuff, not just selling the final unlocks.
@Delta, giese095 does have a point though. Today’s gamer has no patience to unlock hidden treasures if they can buy them since the money they spend is not something they earned. And with that attitude EA has hit it right when they offer Fee based DLC, because these gamers think that they can dominate those who don’t have the ability to pay for this stuff. There is this profane feeling of one-upmanship that permeates the game world and it is not likely to go away.
I just hope they match games via SKILL SCORE not RANK! You can rank-up by just playing but unless your accurate your skill score will reflect what kinda player you are!!!! Alot of games seems to go by RANK
& selling rewards or treasures you can unlock later is wrong
