GOLD FEVER HITS AN ALL TIME HIGH
WITH THE UPCOMING BATTLEFIELD: BAD COMPANY SINGLE-PLAYER AND MULTI-PLAYER DEMO
You’ve been drafted to ‘B’ Company!
DICE, a studio of Electronic Arts Inc. today announced that a demo for its
highly anticipated summer release, Battlefield: Bad Company™ will be available
on Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace* and PLAYSTATION® Store* on June 5. Players will land
on the battlefield as part of the ‘B’ or Bad Company, a wayward band of soldiers
more interested in the pursuit of gold and personal financial gain than
following the rules. Gamers will get a sneak peek at how tactical destruction
changes the way shooters are played, both offline and online in the single
player and multiplayer demo.
Players can also gain early access
to the demo by pre-ordering the game through participating retailers in North
America and Europe. More details on this special pre-order campaign can be found
at

Players who missed their opportunity
to participate in the closed beta get a second chance to experience the intense
multiplayer Gold Rush mode on the Oasis map while the single player portion
starts gamers at the beginning of their ‘B’ company career. The single player
portion of the demo sets the stage for players as they’re introduced to the
humorous and sometimes irreverent set of characters that make up the ‘B’
company. As gamers embark on their quest for gold, they’ll experience the same
classic Battlefield gameplay including access to numerous vehicles, weapons and
open maps as well as the new tactical destruction that only Battlefield: Bad
Company can deliver.
In stores on June 25 in North
America and June 27 in Europe, Battlefield: Bad Company is developed by
Sweden-based developer DICE (Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment). The game
will be available for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from
Microsoft and the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and is rated “T”
by the ESRB and “16+” by PEGI.
