Now that we can (almost) put all that negative purchasing in-game weapons talk aside, we can proudly scream from the rooftops that EA has officially announced that Battlefield: Bad Company will release to retailer shelves on June 23rd. Yes, it's acceptable to say that Bad Company has had its fair share of controversy and negative sentiment, but we know some enjoyed the beta and can look past the game's ... erm, past. But what about you? Will you be a member of Bad Company this June and openly announce your purchase from the rooftops? Hmm?

too late. I'll be playing GTA4 instead and if I need a military fix, I'll play COD4 :)

Nah. There's going to be too many other good games out for me to even care about this one. And I know that they have said there won't be any paid weapons, but back when they said there would be, it totally killed my interest in the game, and that interest doesn't seem to be returning. Also, it's EA, and I can't help but think they'll still pull something.

I'm a major battlefield fan, i'll be at gamestops door first thing in the morning. I've been playing the beta and I gota say that i love the series still. Later

I'd love to play this but I don't have 300,000 points with which to get the demo.

I have been playing the beta, and I've got to say... the more I play it the more I dislike it. The controls aren't that great, and the the UI isn't good. Hopefully if they tweak that it will be more fun, but I just can't handle the controls.
However, sweet, sweet cheevos beckon me. So I'll probably just buy it. :P

This game is horrible and I'm sorry I allowed this to exist on my hard drive. Great graphics, and audio - horrible gameplay.

Probably not. Maybe once it comes down in price though.

Looking for a full retail game with which to avoid me? This is it.

Had it reserved before the beta, so of course I'm getting it.

Here's hoping its region-free... I'm going out to Florida on June 23rd!

Whats up with all the linked vids from GameTrailers all GT5 prologue?

I agree with Marc in everything but the "great graphics." The fact that the beta lived on my hard drive for over a week makes my 360 feel dirty and cheap.
What a terrible game. If you've yet to play a top-rated FPS like COD4 or Halo 3, you may like this. If you have played a top FPS, you'll quickly see this game for how bad it is. I was very surprised, actually...

You know ... I was interested in this game, but now that the publicity stunt fiasco has passed, I dunno if I'm going to buy it. It just doesn't mean the same, lol.

I like the Beta a lot. It feels more like a diverse battlefield than say COD4 to me. If the single player is just as good, we´re in for a nice ride!

No. The Beta sucked bannanas. No prone, no parachute, no thanks. So many better games coming out this year, I'm saving the 60 bucks.
