Multiplayer Action on March 2, 2010 with Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Get ready to storm the battlefield!
DICE today announced that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available March 2,
2010 in North America and March 5, 2010 in Europe. Battlefield: Bad Company 2
will deliver a level of destruction, vehicular warfare, squad play and open
world environments never before experienced in a modern warfare action game. By
pushing destruction to new heights and delivering a host of land, sea and air
vehicles, players will soon witness the best-in-class online warfare experience.

“The variety of weapons, choice of
vehicles and scale of destruction in the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 sandbox
environment generates countless unscripted and unforgettable moments,” said Karl
Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer Battlefield Franchise, DICE. “When
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 ships in March, it will deliver the best online
multiplayer experience ever.”

Whether online or in the single
player campaign, players use every weapon and vehicle to survive and conquer.
Players choose from 15 authentically modeled vehicles, each providing a tactical
advantage and offering a variety of gameplay options. The new UH-60 transport
helicopter can ship an entire four-player squad directly into battle, while
allowing two additional team members to wreak havoc with its two mounted rail
guns on board.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 players
will have a selection of 46 weapons that they can customize into over 200
different, high-powered firearms. There are over 15,000 kit variations possible
in the game, giving each squad member the ability to choose the weapon upgrades
and combat enhancements that best fits their playing style. Between the weapons,
kit combinations and deadly vehicles, players will be equipped with a wide range
of gadgets, accessories and character specializations to give them the edge in
the heat of battle.

The DICE signature Frostbite engine
delivers Destruction 2.0, adding a new layer of strategy to the all-out warfare.
New to Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is the micro-destruction mechanic that allows
players to be more strategic on the battlefield by chipping cover away bit by
bit or taking down an entire building and watching it collapse with enemies
inside.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be
available on the Xbox 360, the PLAYSTATION 3 and the PC.
