The Company Live - Cast 4 "Beta Thoughts"
We are back for our 4th cast, and once again too much news around BFBC2 to ignore. The beta has been released since our last cast so I give my thoughts on it, as well as we hear from Lefty and gamers. Everyone has great points and from what I’ve experienced and heard around the community, this is going to be a great game. There are bugs in the system right now, we know that, DICE knows that, but overall this is going to be a hit. There is no reason every community shouldn’t be gearing up for the release of this game in March.
We also talked about some news articles swirling around out there regarding BFBC2 and Crysis 2: - Battlefield is the best multiplayer FPS period - There will be no prone, so you can stop asking - Co-op will be added to BFBC2 - Crysis 2 simply the best graphics, hands down
As always we had a lot of fun so it’s definitely worth a listen. At just under an hour in length there is a lot in there that we discussed that I missed here in the write up so take the time, give it a listen and join us live next week!

The Company Live - Cast 3 "The Beta Cometh"
We are back from our week off and ready to go. This time we decided to work some different formats into the cast in the forum of YouTube videos. I apologize for all those who are going to listen as you certainly are going to hear the audio, but miss the video. Apparently, Ustream did not catch our video either so here are the links to the videos we watch:
*NEW* Battlefield Bad Company 2: Singleplayer Gameplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SKH1eHep7c
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Squad Rush Mode http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ED2EiCAMTs
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Patrick Bach Interview http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm5eJM5CY7U
Since we have been off the air for two weeks we have seen some changes. DICE has revitalized their blog, a BFBC2 single-player trailer has been released, BFBC2 PC beta info has started to trickle out, and many other things! We touched on some other things we’d like to see with the upcoming release and thoughts about the future of PC gaming in general. I know I normally do a larger write up, but this time since we viewed a bunch of videos I really think it’s best seen not read.

Below is a very informative article from DICE audio tech katamakel
Hi there!
I'm one of the audio programmers at DICE responsible for the audio tech in Frostbite. We know there are many people out there who care passionately about audio in our games, so we thought it'd be nice to give you some information on how our audio engine works and why we do things the way we do. Hopefully with this information you'll know how to get the most out of the audio in Bad Company on whichever platform you choose to play it on. It's going to get quite technical, but I'll try to summarize each section to make everything crystal clear.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 brings the spectacular Battlefield gameplay to the forefront of next-gen consoles and PC - featuring best-in-class vehicular combat set across a wide range of huge sandbox maps each with a different tactical focus.
The sequel to last year’s blockbuster title.

Competitive Game Modes: Players can also compete in 4-player teams in 2 exclusive squad-only game modes, fighting together to unlock exclusive team awards and achievements. Spawn on your squad to get straight into the action, and use gadgets such as the tracer dart in-conjunction with the RPG to devastating effect. Excellence in the battlefield is rewarded with an extensive range of pins, insignias and stars to unlock along with 50 dedicated ranks to achieve. Variety also extends into the range of customizable kits weapons and vehicles available. With 4 distinct character classes, and weapons, gadgets and specializations players have over 15000 kit variations to discover and master players will be able to fine-tune their preferred fighting style to give them the edge in combat. All of these features combine to deliver spectacular and unpredictable action moments found nowhere else in a modern warfare experience.
