Battlefield Bad Company and Battlefield 1943 Retrospectives

- Salutations. Today's video is about a topic that I'm quite passionate about. Battlefield is one of my favorite first person shooter franchises, and the titles that are being targeted by EA and DICE to be sunsetted this year are among my favorite entries in the franchise. These include Battlefield 1943, and both Bad Company titles. I actually was planning on making a video about this family of games within a fonder light before this announcement, but low and behold, fate decided that it would kick me straight in my left nad to make me feel sad.As of this video's posting, these games have been de-listed from online stores, and this December, the servers will go offline. For the Bad Company titles, the only way you'll be able to get them now is through physical copies. Sadly, 1943 is no longer available, as it was a digital-only release on the 7th gen consoles. For this video, I'll be reminiscing the fond memories I've had with these titles. Assuming we'll still be able to access the multiplayer menus for these titles when the servers are shut down, I'll list what you can potentially still do with these games in an online setting, as well.

Great video as always! Just want to add that if anyone has EAPlay or Game Pass Ultimate on a newer Xbox it seems that EA are keeping all three up on the service currently; I guess until servers go down. So it isn’t too late to play yet!
*thinking to myself "what a great 'Vadam video, as usual"
*video ending*
"always remember, you matter more than you think you do"
*now i'm crying.
We don't talk about Battlefield Modern Combat (360).
Battlefield 2 Modern Combat (360)
Correction, we don't talk about bf2 modern combat for the og xbox.
Still playing bad company 2 to this day and with this news I’ll be playing a lot more
Man my first Battlefield was Bad Company back in '08 than my second one was 1943. Both have made me a huge fan of BF since and will always hold out hope for a 3rd BC game. I love that you covered BC and 1943, keep up the fantastic work 'Vadam
I really miss the old BF games. BF Bad Company to BF4 are such fantastic games.
BF4 is ahead of its time
My fond memory has to do with how I spent many years thinking my first entry to the Battlefield franchise was Bad Company 2, when it actually was Battlefield 2 (2005).
At a cyber cafe, at a friend's house... my brain fails to remember where it happened, but I back then I discovered a game that happened to be one of the coolest fps games I ever saw, even though it was short timed. Forgot it's name, but didn't forget the fact that it felt amazing.
Years later, in 2010, I was gifted an x360. My father blindly bought a game for himself called Battlefield: Bad Company 2 which I also ended up enjoying a lot. Some time later, I started seeing trailers from the upcoming Battlefield 3 everywhere and one day decided to check how the other games of the franchise were.
After checking some gameplays... I was so surprised to find out, that one old game that amazed me years ago was actually a Battlefield game.
I have so many memories with 1943 and BC2 MP! (One of my favoriets being the time my friend kept getting snipped and I kept reviving him.) I even got every achievement for 1943!
I remember how hard it was to fly helis in this. Any team that got a good helicopter pilot was at a huge advantage.
This might be super niche, but the same people as you greatly appreciate this
I remember playing the Bad Company demo over and over and over again
I've heard lots of good stuff about Bad Company. It's weird how EA is just kinda burying them.
Hello there.

I live.
BFBC2 Vietnam had some of the best loading screens in gaming, there's a playlist on here.
Great Video Vadam! I'm down to play Bad Company 2 or 1943 anytime.
These are the most fun games in the series. Tragic they're going down
This does put a smile on my face.
Upon watching the video and learning that these game's servers are being shutdown I am now quite sad.
I just managed to grab these recently. Glad I did.
I played BC1 and BC2 back in 2018-2019 and the fact of the matter is, although looking contrary to this video, all three of these games have been dead for years. BC1 had nobody on their servers for at least five years, 1943 I’m not too sure; I think my friend in 2019 said it was still active, and BC2 you could get about a 8-10 player server at times back in 20(18-19) but most likely soon died off.
The fact is that the whole reason Vadam was able to find matches was because of the announcement of their shutdown and like him, the returned to an old beloved game of their childhood. Battlefield 3 back in 2020-2021 had about 3,300 active monthly users according to the BF3 Subreddit and I think around 11,000 monthly players active across all platforms, which was going to (or did) drop considerably around 2021 since Venice Unleashed was working on an upgraded BF3 system but idk what happened to it, ask Danny because he knows.
Anyways, to bring back my point, these games weren’t dying, but dead. They all died about 4 years ago but are having a resurgence since the announcement. I just hope Dice releases a full Portal Game to preserve the multiplayer experiences of these games, as well as hoping that the BF3 Players (which are now mostly South Americans) continue to play on the servers to prevent the game from dying off as well.
Leveling Arica Harbor is such a cherished memory
2's campaign is less directly funny thought the dialog is still good, but the overall story jokes are more "Hey, we're doing a COD level, but you're going downhill instead of up!" The level where you had to stay warm on a mountain in a blizzard was absolutely amazing though.
Didn't get to play these games during their heydays, as I didn't have xbox live back then. But I still spent ages messing around in Bad Companies story mode.
Sad to see all the good battlefield games go :(
Badcompany 2 was the absolute peak of battlefield.
I just played it today and my bro is still playing it rightnow lol
I'm still mad they cancelled the pc version of 1943
I had the F2000 :)
My most fond memory from Bad Company 2 was finding out that you couldn't safely fire RPGs out of moving helicopters. Ah... good times.
14:02 I'd like this and Unreal Tournament relisted...
Nice new pfp
Gonna log into 1943 on Xbox and see if anyone is giving it a last go around. Not getting my hopes up but damn, this video made me wanna play again haha
Edit: I'm actually getting in some pretty fun matches. When do the servers get taken down?
December 8th
Back when games actually had heart and soul...
Weird they de listed Bad Company 2 since it has a single player component.
BF1943 is just too fun imo
The problem with Portal is that the maps aren’t there.😊
I still think it's kind of stupid we need 15 players to start a private match. 2 should be enough. For bf43
It’s too bad that EA is going to shutdown the servers and delist these games (like what Epic Games is doing with Unreal). These idiots turn piracy into a moral obligation.
I hope that somebody makes a mod for one of the Battlefield games that replaces the guns and vehicles with ones from Halo. That would be awesome.
I personally think that a CoD or a Battlefield style game could work really well in Halo as long as it’s done right. Either approach would work super well as a UNSC vs Rebels/Insurrectionists conflict, or something set during the First Interplanetary War (if you look at the lore CoD Infinite Warfare and the Interplanetary War are basically the same conflict). If they had multiple campaigns/games set during these different events you’d be able to show that there were no true “good guys” or “bad guys” and that there was a lot of blood on both sides with some really nasty war crimes being committed/covered up. There’s a lot you could do with this. Thankfully Arma 3 mods are able to give us these.
I started with the BC1 demo as well and soon after bought the game. I was very disappointed in the campaign for BC2, they just sucked all the fun out of Haggard. It was clear thats when they were just trying to do what COD was doing with their campaigns, just battelfield was not good at copying them. BF3 campaign was alright, campaign in 4 was incredibly boring to me. Wish they stuck with the fun of BC1. But yeah my friends and I played an absurd amount of bc1 and 2 back on 360, sadly battlefield hasn't made rush very good since then and I'm really not a fan of conquest.
Просто топ сделана
Welcome to the console experience where games can't be played anymore after servers shut down. You knew this would happen from the start.
What about halo 2 uncut
I’m wondering the same thing. I also hope the guy updates his Reach Evolved mod using the new modding tools at some point.
