We’ve all done Death Matches and Team Death Matches to death, so I am surprised no other developer has tried anything like this in a first person shooter (okay, feel free to correct me, but I have never seen it). Battlefield Bad Company 2 will feature a Squad Deathmatch, where FOUR teams compete with each …

Electronic Arts and DICE have responded to the community to show off what they describe as a “stage of a more vehicle based map” in the form of Panama Canal.

The Passing “brings the original Left 4 Dead survivors down south for a meeting with the L4D2 cast, while delivering new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay,” says Valve. The …

With the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 PlayStation 3 beta in full swing, I thought I would show off a few HD videos of the title in its early form. Four videos of unedited, raw footage from the Africa Harbour map should give you a better idea as to whether you’ll like it. Personally, I’m loving …

Okay, so it has once about been agreed by the noob elders that our Xmas plapfest should take place soon. When and what haven’t been decided yet though, but we’d like to set aside a whole evening or two away from distractions to get it on! This means, let the women go out, no babysitting, …

EA today stated its intention in the FPS genre, saying it’s aiming to top Modern Warfare with its new Medal of Honor reboot and Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

The Battlefield: Bad Company 2 multiplayer beta on PS3, is well underway, and we’re only a month or so away from a PC multiplayer demo, so I thought I would give you a quick update of what’s what in the title. With up-to 24 players in a game, the multiplayer is still traditionally similar to …

Naughty hackers – the very same people who are dissecting Modern Warfare 2 to find just how bad it really is – have uncovered new game modes hidden within the game which will apparently be made available as downloadable content in the near future.
