This would possibly work, if it wasnt on fox
[QUOTE=Jocke;37961145]Give us a Half-Life show with a real budget and I would watch it![/QUOTE]
Budget =/= Quality, as evidenced by the sheer amount of Michael Bay movies that have had millions of dollars pumped into them and still end up like shit. Avatar was also a prime example.
Like a horrible cross between the A-Team and Hogans Heroes, sort of. But with more shit wedged into the open spaces to fill in the plot holes.
[QUOTE=Scotchair;37960467]So like a shit band of brothers in the modern day? Meh.[/QUOTE]
Well, I certainly hope that it can approach band of brothers
That series was awesome
I dunno, they had some funny promo shorts. But I guess a full TV show WOULD eat shit...
I honestly think this could be a funny show.

Never watched that before, and now I wish things would have stayed that way.
I hope there are gags on how floors are indestructible.

I think it'll be closer to [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Three_Kings_(1999_film)]Three Kings[/url] than Band of Brothers / Generation Kill (latter of which was actually pretty funny)

The fact that Bad Company already relies heavily on pretty much being the video game version of Three Kings, you might as well license Three Kings or create an entirely new show.
it would work well if a good director and cast was involved, but fox and happy madison, I mean come on this is begging to be bad.
Watch Adam Sandler make his way in some how.

I thought that was a fan-made parody mocking CoD up to the very end.
That's frightening how they can't even tell that they are mocking themselves. Especially with those fucking notices in the bottom.
[QUOTE] It follows four renegade soldiers as they exit military life and enter the private sector. But trouble is never far behind as they realize their commanding officer had used them to further the ends of a shadow unit within the government and now wants them dead to cover his tracks. [/QUOTE]
uh this isn't the story in either Bad Company games, at all.
shit show going on brand recognition, nothing to see here, move along.
[QUOTE=RichyZ;37961286]but generally, having a good budget doesn't hurt the quality of the show, it usually makes it better
its the director/actors that makes something shit regardless of budget[/QUOTE]
Someone that understands me...
Fox: A Bad Company

you know you suck if you make a video that is mistaken for [I]satire [/I][u]but in reality it's actually [I]serious[/I][/u]
I could honestly see a show based around Bad Company working out well, but I doubt this one will.
boy, I'm waiting for the fifa 2009-series
Just watch Strike Back.
I love that series.
If they had the same writers as the first game with the same characters doing crazy wacky shit, mocapped and rendered in the Frostbite 2 engine, then I would watch it.
Buuuut it doesn't seem like nobody's interested in trying out a 3DCG motion captured TV show which is kind of disappointing, it seems like a cool next step
It's going to be a shit A-Team with no Face.
if those doesn't continue from the first game's campaign it's going to be utter shit
seriously BC2's campaign was stupid "hurr we're being sarcastic guys!! this is what other military shooters are like but we're just doing it sarcastically lol!"
[QUOTE=Wootman;37960426]It's going to be terrible for two reasons:
1. It's a TV show about a Video Game with little to no story.
2. ITS ON FOX.[/QUOTE]
You're 2nd point makes no sense. Some of the biggest hits in television programming have come from FOX.
The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Idol, etc...
Kellys heroes in the modern day wouldn't be bad, if that's what they would do...
Fuck it, I'm just going to watch Kelly's heroes.

American Idol and Family Guy are horrible tho. Plus The Simpsons has been running faaar to long.

Yes, but they are still some of the biggest and most popular shows on television.
This might work, Might. It depends how it is done. If it follows the original Bad Company's storyline then it might just work out. Not the second one however.

Doesn't make them good.
I didn't say it's not going to be popular I said it's going to be terrible.
