Battlefield: Bad Company Launch Trailer

Ok so you’ve seen the previous ‘lets take the rip out of this game’ videos that Battlefield: Bad Company are enforcing? The first was Metal Gear Solid, the next one was an advert for Gears of War, and now this one was released yesterday and it takes the rip out of the stealthy action seen in the Rainbow Six games.

Battlefield: Bad Company ‘Rainbow Sprinkles’

Below is a video of Battlefield: Bad Company that takes another shot at a game. First we saw them take the rip out of Metal Gear Solid and now they are hitting on the Gears of War advert, the Bad World one. This is fantastic marketing… but will it be effective when the game is released in a few days.

Battlefield: Bad Company – Bad World

Check out this preview video for Battlefield: Bad Company. This upcoming first person shooter looks pretty good and if you want to try before you buy check out the demo that was released on the Playstation Store a two weeks ago. If you enjoyed the previous Battlefield games your in for a treat here.

Battlefield: Bad Company Preview

I love it when a game takes a shot at another game and here’s a great example of that. Here we see Battlefield: Bad Company do a Metal Gear Solid 4. You see a bunch of soldiers looking at a can thinking they saw it move, adn the famous explanation mark appears above the can. Its quite funny.

“No locusts, snakes, or rainbow-sprinkled doughnuts were hurt during the making of these three movies.”
