I just love how that cop was carrying that hostage like a backpack

I don't know about the first one, but Bad Company 2's campaign was a festering pile of buttcheeks.

So it's over. That was a disappointing show for everything but Shadow Realms.

*everyone gets up and leaves as quickly as they can*

Googling Shadow Realms brings up some kind of LARP group that's like 3 hours away from where I live. Woops.

The Hotwire mode in Hardline can have potential. If the cops are trying to get back stolen vehicles, it sounds to me if that vehicle gets destroyed, the cops can lose (or for better balance, they don't gain as much when the round ends, otherwise the bad guys can just blow the car up beginning of every round). So the cops want to carefully take down the criminals without roughing up the vehicle too much, meanwhile the criminals in the car can just dump on cop cars. Sounds like it can be unique

Hmm, that could be alright. I think ZombiU had a mode like that. We'll probably get some footage of gameplay off the floor that'll give more insight into exactly what that DM player will be doing.

You should have played the first one, it was fucking amazing. Might have had my favourite ending to an FPS campaign too. Really good at not taking itself seriously.

The first Bad Company is the only Battlefield campaign that has successfully implemented the defining aspects of the series in a single player setting. Huge open levels with vehicles, objectives which you were able to tackle from any direction and by whatever means you wanted, and tons of destructibility, all backed by fun characters and a story that didn't take itself too seriously.

Shadow Realms was not at all what I was expecting/hoping it to be. I'm kinda super bummed out now.

And to make things even weirder, I think I'm now very excited for Battlefield. That campaign footage looked fun as all hell and those new multiplayer modes seem really interesting.

Other than the whole Shadowlord thing it looks like if Diablo 3 was entirely centered on the Nephalem Rifts, which sounds cool to me.

Wait, is Shadow Realms the new IP Casey Hudson has worked on? Well, I really hope not. The only good thing they've shown was the DA:I demo.

Casey's new thing is being made by the Edmonton studio, so this, thankfully, isn't that.

Hard to stand that really sharp/handsome/mean guy who is the host at these EA events. Does he need to be so intense..?

Watching this now, DA customization looks pretty cool. So is this map selection screen.
