EA Euro boss: Bad Company 2 is 'first strong attack' on Call of Duty

4.6
Electronic Arts is really pushing to gain ground in the battle for FPS multiplayer popularity. Speaking with MCV, EA Europe senior VP Jens Uwe Intat proclaimed that March's launch of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be the publisher's "first strong attack" launched on Call of Duty. By that stream of logic, we're guessing the Medal of Honor reboot would be the second?

Intat believes that if any studio can take on Modern Warfare, it's DICE. He reiterates that the "shooter" genre is important to the publisher and that EA is "certainly working on how [it] can get that crown back." Meanwhile, Bungie sips a mocha and buffs Halo 3 on the mantel.

The COD series are the best FPS multilayer games there are. I don't think there is a chance that Battlefield will be a strong attack on MW2

xSPIEx seriously... a triple post?

After BFBC2 i dont think MOH will make a big enough impact to take over the military shooter genre, because COD7 with come out around MOH so we'll choose one or the other

Lol eventhough BFBC1 was fun it was still no call of duty, not enough custimaztions or even graphics for that matter. Only reason some people might switch over to BFBC2 over COD 6 is simply because of the games online play.
