Battlefield: Bad Company Hits PS3, X360 on June 23

EA DICE's Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3, X360) will ship to North American retailers on June 23, publisher and studio owner Electronic Arts has revealed.

Unlike previous Battlefield entries, Bad Company features destructible environments and a character-driven single-player campaign in addition to the series' traditional class-based multiplayer.

Based on the feedback surrounding the closed Xbox Live multiplayer beta, the studio dropped its plans to sell additional weapons as micro-transactions. Instead, players will be able to acquire those weapons by either buying the Gold Edition of the game or earning the highest level in multiplayer.

For more on Battlefield: Bad Company and its Gold Rush multiplayer mode, scope out our recent impressions.

shame to not see this game get the benefits of a PC's cheat capability, i can think of no better way (for myself) to enjoy the benefits of this engine then going into god mode with unlimited ammo and leveling everything in sight. i guess i'll have to 'put up' with a shitty console version.
