Battlefield Bad Company Ships with Bad Comedy

EA DICE's online/offline shooter Battlefield: Bad Company (PS3, 360) shipped today. To mark the occasion, the publisher naturally released a few in-engine comedy bits.

The first of these videos pokes fun at the Gears of War "Mad World" marketing campaign. The second is just silly. But hey, one man's bomb is another man's killer routine.

Here's my big reward for registering my copy.......a "gameplay tip". And so useful too.

Ready?

Here’s your gameplay tip:
Snuff out the enemy’s attempts to blow apart gold crates by defusing their explosive charges.

I break my ass daily as a building contractor but I still probably don't make as much as the PR genius who came up with that little nugget.

Someone kill me.......... now.

Brilliant! Marketing to poke fun at marketing. EA isn't doing anything that Epic didn't do. False marketing is alive and well in this industry.

I'd prefer the Bad Company trailers show actual gameplay vs trying to be funny with mocapped animation. Very well done, but not indicative of the game at all. At this point I'm wondering what the single player game is - at all? I have no idea.

Haha entertaining. Maybe if the order was reversed the Sprinkles one wouldnt seem AS weak. The Solid Snake one was good too. Maybe they should stick to making machinima rather than games.
