Bad Company 2 will have dedicated servers

In what is a very obvious response to Activision’s Modern Warfare 2 not supporting dedicated servers, EA have announced that the PC version of their upcoming title Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will indeed have multiplayer dedicated server support.  EA’s Frank Gibeau made this clear by saying that “deep new online play with dedicated server support … will put Battlefield in head-to-head competition with Call of Duty for quality and online gameplay.”

So EA appear to not be watering down their support for multiplayer on the PC platform, at least not in the Battlefield franchise at least, so it’ll be interesting to see how this one develops.

EA: Medal of Honor making a come back

Electronic Arts have confirmed that they will be reviving the World War II themed Medal of Honor series in the near future.  The last game came out in 2007 and seemed all but dead, but maybe they will be hoping to beef up the series to compete with Activision’s Call of Duty series. Call of Duty of course also started out as a World War II themed game, but has turned into a game set in more current day warfare environments, so it’ll be interesting to see if EA decide to follow this path as well.

There are no timeframes from EA on when a game is likely to materialise, but given they have also decided to lay off 1500 staff, it probably won’t be out anytime soon.
