Tiny Diggers – An iPad Construction Truck Game for Kids Age 2-5

After a highly successful debut on the 360 and PS3, the boys from “B” Company are coming back to create more havok and mayhem in Battlefield: Bad Company2.  The above screen is the first one released by Electronic Arts and shows “B” Company travelling through some mountain terrain, during winter.  DICE plans to expand the destructible environments and the types of locations you will visit.  New to this version is a PC release this time around, which did not happen with the first Battlefield: Bad Company.

The bigger news from this announcement is a new Battlefield game, called Battlefield 1943.  Yes the rumors are true, Battlefield 1943 is a go, and will take the over the top action that players found in Battlefield 1942, and kick it up a few notches.  There are three new locations, more weapons, more vehicles and new platforms to play the game on.  This time around Battlefield 1943 will come to the PC, but also the 360 and PS3, but not as full titles.  The 360 and PS3 versions will come to each platform’s appropriate marketplace.  Seeing this game come out as a marketplace title is an interesting strategy.  Look for Battlefield 1943 this summer.

Check the jump for a few more screens, a press release and a video of Battlefield 1943 gameplay.

DICE ANNOUNCES BATTLEFIELD: BAD COMPANY 2
Before Rejoining the ‘B’ Company, Players Go Back to WWII in Battlefield 1943

Guildford, UK – February 5, 2009 – DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc studio (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced the development of Battlefield: Bad Company 2^TM, the sequel to last year’s blockbuster title. In this installment, the Bad Company crew again find themselves in the heart of the action, where they must use every weapon and vehicle at their disposal to survive. The action unfolds with unprecedented intensity, introducing a level of fervor to vehicular warfare never before experienced in a modern warfare action game. To get ready for the assault this winter, players can prepare for action in Battlefield 1943^TM, an all-new multiplayer game available this summer via PlayStation®Store, Xbox LIVE^TM Marketplace and on the PC.

In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the ‘B’ company fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages. With a heavy arsenal of deadly weapons and a slew of vehicles to aid them, the crew set off on their mission and they are ready to blow up, shoot down, blast through, wipe out and utterly destroy anything that gets in their way. Total destruction is the name of the game, delivered as only the DICE next generation Frostbite^TM engine can. Either online or offline, enemies will soon learn there is nowhere to hide. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the PC.

Using the same Frostbite^TM engine, Battlefield 1943 takes players back to WWII. The game offers endless hours of 24 player multiplayer action over three classic and tropic locations; Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Delivering the award-winning through-the-gun and vehicle warfare online experience DICE is best recognized for, Battlefield 1943 will have players battling in ruthless aerial dog fights and intense trench combat. Players can see the game in action at New York Comic Con (Booth #1441) from February 6th-8th.

“Bad Company 2 takes everything that players liked in the original and ups the ante – more vehicles, more destruction and more team play,” said Karl Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer Battlefield Franchise, DICE. “Battlefield 1943 is a new take on a blast from the past classic coming to life with brand new technology that we’re eager to get into players hands.”
