‘Battlefield Bad Company 2’ was written to “take the piss” out of ‘Call Of Duty’
Battlefield Bad Company 2 lead designer David Goldfarb has shared that EA DICE‘s 2010 shooter was written to “poke fun at Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare.”Speaking to NME for the latest Boss Level feature, Goldfarb – who wrote the script for Battlefield Bad Company 2‘s single-player campaign – said he was “writing it to kind of poke fun at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.”“I love those guys, but someone needs to take the piss out of them,” added Goldfarb.Goldfarb also acknowledged that Infinity Ward‘s Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which launched in November 2007, overshadowed the first Bad Company‘s launch in June 2008.“That made everyone go, like ‘Oh Jesus’,” said Goldfarb. “When you compare [Bad Company] to Call of Duty 4, there’s an obvious mismatch in terms of visual fidelity and stuff.”While reflecting on his time on Bad Company 2, Goldfarb shared that although it was “kind of a blur,” the team’s intuitive approach tapped into good things early on.
