Electronic Arts has called in another marketing airstrike against
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, hoping to pull members of its fanbase who’re unhappy with its online play towards
Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The previous target was
dedicated servers for PC players; now it’s Xbox Live party chat and the ability to use it in multiplayer.
Speaking with MTV Multiplayer, EA DICE producer Gordon Van Dyke stated, “We are ok with [party chat]. We haven’t taken a stance being against it and feeling like people are cheating.” Modern Warfare 2 only offers party chat support in a handful of its multiplayer playlists, ostensibly to curb cheating. But, according to Van Dyke, he doesn’t “think [cheating with party chat is] that big of an issue, that I’ve seen, where we have to worry about that” in Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
So, is party chat (or the lack thereof) really that important to you? Share your thoughts in comments.

We’re sure that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Executive Producer Karl-Magnus Troedsson (awesome name!) is a very nice gentleman, and we’re sure he says some really interesting things in GameTrailers‘ TGS video found after the break, but he keeps interrupting some glorious multiplayer gameplay footage. Shhh, Karl-Magnus, we’re trying to watch the booms, bangs and bagongings.
Check out the footage after the break to get an idea of all the mayham and some of the vehicle cockpit views we’ll experience when Battlefield: Bad Company 2 releases — when else, but 2010 … just like everything else.
