Bad Company 2 dated for March, screenshots and trailer celebrate

August 19th, 2009 at 03:53am Under PS3

EA and DICE’s next Battlefield game, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, has had its release date carved in stone (or wobbled in water) and been announced to be March 2nd in the US and March 5th in the UK and Europe, as a bevy of screenshots and a new trailer aim to mark the occasion.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is the sequel to 2008’s singleplayer/multiplayer Battlefield experience, which introduced destructible environments to the squad-based action shooter proceedings. Bad Company 2 promises to deliver “a level of destruction, vehicular warfare, squad play and open world environments never before experienced in a modern warfare action game.” A tall order indeed.
