Replay – Battlefield: Bad Company
The arrival of Destiny is the first salvo fired in what we like to call "shooter season," a series of months where most of our gaming time goes to newly released FPS experiences. This year, shooter season consists of new entries for Star Wars Battlefront, Call of Duty, Wolfenstein, and Quake. We also just received a new expansion for Battlefield 1. As great as DICE's support for Battlefield 1 has been, we're still left wanting one more thing. We want more Bad Company.
PC players probably don't hold Bad Company in the highest regard, as the first entry was a console exclusive with a completely different approach to multiplayer, but change ended up being good for Battlefield, especially in terms of storytelling. We take a look at what made Bad Company so special, and discuss why now might be a good time for the series to return in a big way.
We then turn back the clock even more to take a look at another team of "bad" characters on Sega Genesis. You'll even get a tease of the forthcoming Replay Civil War, which replaces Showdown as this year's huge office-wide competition.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
