Bad Company 2 'F.R.A.G.S.' video continues Modern Warfare mockery

4.7
Hey, you remember when Infinity Ward released that unbelievably offensive "Fight Against Grenade Spam" video starring Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels to promote Modern Warfare 2? Yeah, we were trying to forget it too (sorry to remind you!), but Battlefield developer DICE just released its own variation of the video (found after the break) starring New York Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia to explain why grenade spam isn't so much of an issue in Bad Company 2.

According to CC, due to the variety of other gameplay options (destructible environments, a handful of different vehicles and "adrenaline pumping weapons"), grenade spam isn't the same problem that it is in "competing games of this particular genre." (It probably helps that each class only starts with one grenade too, huh?) Rather than being sponsored by the notorious acronym that closed out Infinity Ward's ad, this one ends with: "Friends Really Against Grenade Spam."

Oh, and for those of you playing along at home, this is at least the second advertisement for Bad Company 2 that directly parodies Modern Warfare 2 promos. We're still holding out hope that all this culminates in a cage match between Robert Bowling and Patrick Söderlund. Click read more to see the video

It's funny how Dice tries so hard to make fun of mw2 when infinity ward doesn't need to worry cause cod>bf.

^^^^^ actually cod is based of off battlefield. they took their ideas from ea. plus dice's goal is to take down mw2... which is working well. ever since bfbc2 came out i havent touched my any of my cods. mw2 is collecting dust ... no lie. i dont see any rank hacks or any of that stuff on bfbc and to top it off this video made mw2 look worse than it already is.

CrazyJake4Posted:

wow dice basically copied off mw2 for the whole game. Then they copy off their idea to put a major league baseball pitcher in it and talk about random grenades, then they diss the game they totally pose off of and copied everything about. what douches.

3rd reason I hate BFBC2. Yeah this doesn't PWN MW2. MW2 still PWNS BFBC2. But COD4 PWNS MW2 and BFBC2 :D
