Battlefield V To Include Bad Company 2 Remaster, Battle Royale M..
I've been playing it recently, don't feel like it even needed a remaster since it still plays and looks quite well. They probably just shoehorned it in at the last minute in a desparate bid to make more people preorder
Granted it's only a rumour, but I can see that being very plausible and a totally disgusting thing to do if they won't sell BC2 remaster seperately.
If true could be a ploy to boost BFV's numbers so they can claim nothing was wrong
What a misleading title.
God damn you, EA, holding this in front of us to buy your shitty game
What exactly does a remaster entail? The game is only 8 years old.
Diagonal sprinting.
More non-lootboxes and DLCs
Great, They now pulling Activision to getting people hook on newest bad entry of series.
Source or "Rumors with report" appears to be an anonymous email to Giant Bomb podcast.

2:23:30, if timestamp doesn't work. Video was linked in article, but with no timestamp.
I would take those rumors with a grain of salt, as you always should with rumors.
What a bizarre thing to toss in there anyway. The game doesn't have any serious compatibility, content or pricing issues that I can think of. Onslaught didn't make it into the PC version but Vietnam did and as far as I can tell, so did all of the DLC maps. Who's going to buy a remaster of Bad Company 2 for Onslaught, the handful of people waiting for V's Combined Arms mode to be added or dropped altogether?
I can't think of anybody who wanted all the other features that crept into the CoD4 remaster besides the visual rework like supply drops and paid maps, let alone anyone who'd want that for BC2.
All I really want is Bad Company 1, it never came to PC and I loved those big open maps and rampant destruction.
If they just scrapped BFV altogether and gave us BC2 remastered instead, I'd be fine with that.
The f2p battle royale mode sounds plausible, but it's way too late for them to try and quickly cobble together a BC2 remaster on a whim. Ain't gonna happen.
I didn't realize how much I got used to this until I went back to BC2 and was immediately disgusted by it
If the rumours / leaks of BC3 being in development are real then a BC2 remaster could go along with it
I did enjoy Bad Company 2, but I also don't trust EA to not do the same thing Activision did to the Modern Warfare remaster, and I'm not simply talking about holding it hostage as a special edition bonus for BFV either. I'm talking about reselling old DLC (possibly at even higher prices) and adding microtransactions.
As someone who played Battlefield 2 and skipped straight to Battlefield 3, what was so special about the Bad Company games?
I don't mean to be mean or contrarian. To me the only thing differentiating Battlefield from other FPS games was the huge maps and fleets of vehicles mixed in with the foot soldier combat. Bad Company had less of those things from what I heard. I'm not sure if this is true, but at the time I was under the impression there weren't even air vehicles at all.
They're generally more fast paced and closer quarters than the main Battlefield series, and the only form of air superiority if helis. Not every map has those. It's a much more infantry focused thing, and introduced a majority of the current game feel to the Battlefield series. It's comparable to Call of Duty, but team work actually does make the dream work.
When Bad Company came out it was the first Battlefield I remember playing that had weapons that actually sounded like they could kill people, every piece of audio was basically perfect compared to anything that came out back then.
Also they're the only Battlefield games with competent and fun single player campaigns.
They should have taken a break and made BC3.
Finally going back to WWII should have been saved for something unique, but this is shaping up to be Blueandorangefield Part 4.
Totally disgusting to...give it away for free? I mean come on, at least be honest.
The modern "remasters" have set a nasty track record of leaving the base game untouched
Ehhh. Not really. I mean yeah the gameplay itself is fine but holy shit the netcode is baaaaaaaad. It's one of the few areas where the game would benefit from a total overhaul. Also, they'll hopefully include spawn protection and tweak the spotting system to be in line with BF4 (if line of sight with the spotted target is broken the marker disappears). They could keep everything else as-is and I think everyone would be happy.
Sounds like a very wishful and unsubstantiated rumour that doesn't make any real sense. Suddenly bundling a remaster of a game in a series that people want more of, which has absolutely nothing to do with BFV or its setting, would take away players from it and they could sell for quite a lot on its own? I doubt it. Infinite Warfare had MW:R, but that was announced months in advance of release, shortly after reveal of the game.
It completely misses just why the games were like that, though; they were an attempt to bring the Battlefield experience to console players. The gameplay was more limited than what was available with the series at the time because it was aimed at an entirely different audience who had not really had much of the Battlefield series before that, so there were caveats made to cater to that playerbase specifically, it was a console-focused Battlefield game for players who did not have the mainline battlefield games, so it would be their first experience of the series.
Since then the typical Battlefield games have made their way over to consoles. Battlefield 3, 4, BF1 etc all were released on console pretty much as-is, the full Battlefield gameplay is now the expected norm even on consoles. Those players have been introduced to and are now fully up to the same standard as the typical Battlefield experience, designing a more limited game speciifcally intended for console players doesn't make much sense now when the series does fine there as it is.
Bad Company 2 also had a crazy amount of destruction, maps like Harvest could be completely leveled with enough rocketeering. A lot of people miss that, even if it did make the late game a slog.
To make the BR announcement more palatable more like
Free? What? I have my doubts this rumour even turns out real, but regardless, if it does, it's the same disgusting practices exercised by Activision to boost sales and hold a game people actually want hostage. Granted, a BC2 remaster would have to be really incredible to get my interests up. I'd rather see a proper sequel if I'm all honest.
If you know people like Bad Company when not make a new Bad Company game, I just don't get it.
They can’t be bothered to make a competent campaign.
