Battlefield: Bad Company – 10th Anniversary
Every Major Video Game Anniversary in June 2018
After a string of successful near-future shooters, Bad Company was EA Dice’s spin-off series aimed directly at consoles, complete with its own full-length single-player campaign. During 2008, it did battle with Activision’s hugely successful Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Battlefield: Bad Company was certainly well-enough received, with critics lauding its realistic destructible environments, weapon and vehicle variety, and stunning multiplayer. The story, too, of its single-player campaign featured some interesting characters that played well off each other, which was another facet of the game that impressed.
Notably, while the Battlefield franchise started out very much as a PC-centric multiplayer game, Bad Company marked a shift towards console that’s really become less of a side project and more a consolidated focus for the series. As we look forward to Battlefield’s return to WW2 later this year, 10 years after Bad Company first launched, the PS4 and Xbox One will surely comprise the lion’s share of Battlefield players.
