STOCKHOLM--(Business Wire)--
DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc. studio (NASDAQ:ERTS), today announced a Limited
Edition* release of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the premier first-person shooter
of 2010. The Limited Edition game features six special gameplay unlocks that
give players a tactical advantage on the battlefield from the minute they fire
up the game. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 has been recognized by critics worldwide
for its uncompromising action gameplay, unprecedented level of destruction,
vehicular warfare, squad play and open sandbox environments in a modern warfare
game. Available while supplies last, the Limited Edition version of the game
will be sold at the same price as the standard version of the game with
participating retailers in North America on March 2, 2010 and in Europe on March
5, 2010.
The Battlefield: Bad Company 2Limited Edition delivers six special
customizations early to give players a day one advantage in multiplayer matches.
Four vehicle warfare unlocks will immediately enhance the Battlefield: Bad
Company 2 best-in-class online vehicle warfare experience, delivering extra
firepower, radar, and armor for the vehicles. Additionally, the tracer dart
attaches to any enemy vehicle and allows RPG-toting teammates to track, lock on,
and destroy their adversary. Seasoned veterans of Battlefield 1943 will be able
to immediately re-acquaint themselves with two classic and highly powerful
weapons, the M1A1 submachine gun and the M1911 pistol.
The full list of six unlocks are as follows:
Four vehicle warfare unlocks
* Improved Vehicle Armor - An up-armor package is mounted on all vehicle types,
decreasing the effect of both explosive and penetrating warheads, significantly
improving vehicle survivability.
* Supreme Vehicle Firepower - Additional weapon packages are mounted for the
driver of all armored vehicles, greatly expanding the range of targets the
vehicle can successfully engage and destroy.
* Vehicle Motion Sensor - Use this electronics warfare package to locate enemy
units in direct proximity to the vehicle.
* Tracer Dart Pistol - This magnetic dart attaches to any vehicle surface,
allowing squad members to track, lock on, and fire rockets onto moving targets
even beyond line of sight.
Two classic Battlefield 1943 weapons
* M1A1 Submachine Gun - Reliable but heavy this classic weapon is a powerful
force in the hands of any Battlefield veteran.
* M1911 Pistol - Highly customized M1911 are favored for its dependability and
the power of its large .45 caliber round.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available on March 2, 2010 in North America
for the Xbox 360 videogame and entertainment system, the PlayStation3 computer
entertainment system and the PC. The game will be available on March 5, 2010 in
Europe.
