Battlefield: Bad Company - Demo on June 5th

Written Friday, May 09, 2008 by Geoff White

Guildford, UK. – May 9, 2008 – You’ve been drafted to ‘B’ Company! DICE, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. (NASDAQ: ERTS) today announced that a demo for its highly anticipated summer release, Battlefield: Bad Company™ will be available on Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace* and PLAYSTATION® Store* on June 5. Players will land on the battlefield as part of the ‘B’ or Bad Company, a wayward band of soldiers more interested in the pursuit of gold and personal financial gain than following the rules. Gamers will get a sneak peek at how tactical destruction changes the way shooters are played, both offline and online in the single player and multiplayer demo.

Players can also gain early access to the demo by pre-ordering the game through participating retailers in North America and Europe. More details on this special pre-order campaign can be found at www.battlefield.com/badcompany .

Players who missed their opportunity to participate in the closed beta get a second chance to experience the intense multiplayer Gold Rush mode on the Oasis map while the single player portion starts gamers at the beginning of their ‘B’ company career. The single player portion of the demo sets the stage for players as they’re introduced to the humorous and sometimes irreverent set of characters that make up the ‘B’ company. As gamers embark on their quest for gold, they’ll experience the same classic Battlefield gameplay including access to numerous vehicles, weapons and open maps as well as the new tactical destruction that only Battlefield: Bad Company can deliver.

In stores on June 25 in North America and June 27 in Europe, Battlefield: Bad Company is developed by Sweden-based developer DICE (Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment, www.dice.se). The game will be available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and is rated “T” by the ESRB and “16+” by PEGI.

	Comment #6 by FlimFlam Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 02:11:43 PM I really want this to be good, but the beta threw up all kinds of negative feedback, much more than the positive so far as I have seen... The premise is great and the pedigree is there, but how can so many be wrong? That said, Dark Sector got panned, and although it had it's faults, it wasn't half as bad as it was made out to be. Thank goodness for Live!

	Comment #7 by Jamie Solo Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 02:43:42 PM Well a beta is usually used to work out bugs and all that styff... so lets hope!

	Comment #8 by Slarak Friday, May 09, 2008 @ 02:54:20 PM I've been in plenty of beta's and a good percentage of them suck in that phase, but they usually fix those features or lack there of in the final product.
