For day two of our Christmas extravaganza we have inside info from the lovely and incredibly hard working Gordon Van Dyke, Producer of Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
Battlefield Bad Company 2
Isn't she a beauty! Just wait until you see her in action!We talked to him a few days ago about DICE's next big project and one of our favourite new vehicles, the buggy.
"The designers wanted to put something fun in, something cool and we had these buggies in the Special Forces expansion to Battlefield 2. Historically these never have the same amount of people playing as the full title. So we're like what about those? With Frostbite we can do physics with vehicles and objects so much better than with our previous games."
"Anyone who is reading this will remember playing the earlier Battlefield games. You used to go off a little curb and sometimes explode! That doesn't happen any more and it feels so much better! We wanted a really sweet vehicle which was nimble and it can get you to locations really fast. It feels really rewarding when you out manoeuvre everyone to get to a crucial point in the map."
Sounds great to us and we can imagine the new vehicle will be perfect for various stunt montages which will inevitably appear on YouTube. A little like the video which is linked on the right.
We'll have more exclusive reveals regarding titles from every platform during the run-up to Christmas. Check back every single day for another fantastic surprise! It's a shame there isn't any chocolate though...
