Following in the sneaky footsteps of their Metal Gear Solid 4 parody, DICE just released two more Battlefield: Bad Company parodies, this time targeting Gears of War and Rainbow Six. And again, they caused us to chuckle uncontrollably.
The first promo vid takes on Gears of War's unforgettable "Mad World" trailer, where the B Company crew comes up with their own, more happy rendition that incorporates a musical injection of shortening bread. High-larious! The Rainbow Six parody, embedded after the break, is also enjoyable as it mocks the over exaggerated, charades-style communication style RS soldiers are known for. You must admit, that even if you aren't interested in the game, it's refreshing to see EA and DICE take this kind of entertaining marketing approach. They get the X3F seal of approval.

I think I am going to get this game just because the commercials are so funny. I feel like I should reward them or something.

Dude, I'm one of the biggest defenders of that game regardless of the damn AI. You need to loosen up. These commercials are hilarious.

Need a hug buddy? Come on now, don't be shy!
On another note; I thought they were funny, especially the Gears one.

Too bad I didn't play Gears campaign or a single rainbow six game : / But still have to admit these mockertisements are pretty damn good

Seriously, why would you skip the Gears campaign...there are few games that have as strong of a singleplayer as Gears.

eh, it would have been funnier if they mocked something about the game rather than just the mood and music of the commercial.

They were funny for sure, but whats even more funny is how bad this game is. Terrible Hit-Detection, and lame destruction. Funny commercials though..

It's a shame the game itself isn't as good as these adverts :) I was on the beta and I have to be honest I just didn't find it at all interesting. COD4 ruined it all for me - as much as I try, no other game can hold my interest compared to COD4. Something new comes out, but, still, not as good :)
I wonder if they they have something in store for COD4 - I would love to see what they rip on it for :)

The demo leaves much to be desired, that's for sure. Gameplay defintely won't be selling this one. But maybe those commercials will ....

These are great. Best adds since the Halo "Believe" ads!

They should concentrate on game itself.

Huh.
The demo sold me on the game for myself & my son. The advertisements are just icing on the cake.

I wanted to thank those of you for posting who enjoy this video.
Seeing the potential morons I'd have to play this piss-poor game with as convinced me to cancel my preorder. Thanks again!
