    Game Center Online is reporting that a conference call with EA CEO John Riccitiello revealed that Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will ship within the first three months of 2010.
    Why EA, why? In a conference call earlier on today, it was revealed by EA CEO John Riccitiello that both Mass Effect 2 and a sequel to DICE’s Battlefield: Bad Company would be releasing within the first three months of 2010.

    According to Shacknews, who originally reported the story, Riccitiello, during the conference call, said that Mass Effect 2 will arrive on multiple platforms, which means it could hit both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. But, however, when they asked about about specific platforms for Mass Effect 2, an Electronic Arts representative told Shacknews that no details were available at this time.

    Any-how, both games will now be released during the fourth quarter of the publisher’s 2010 fiscal year, which runs from January 1 to March 31.

    Nothing unexpected if you followed most games you would know release dates are usually pushed back a year or two, form it's initial announcement date. I'll be happy when it is released at the beginning of 2011.

      Ea/Dice and release dates are not the best of friends.

          Comments like "Winter" and "Early 2010" have been mentioned before, so this really isn't that much of a shock. I think it's nice to have a bit more confirmation of a time-frame, if indeed this report is accurate.

          I'm glad they're not rushing this out to go head-to-head with MW2 in Nov. The later BC2 comes out, the better chance it will have to be a more solid, complete game. Nothing is guaranteed of course, but in general, more time will allow for more testing, tuning, and bug fixing.

          I'm also glad that EA seems to be practicing what they preached a few weeks back about realizing that the pre-Christmas holiday season isn't the only time people buy games. If a game is good, it will sell no matter when it comes out. By putting a game out in Q1, they avoid the big bunch-up of releases that often happens in Nov/Dec that can actually water-down sales as games get lost in the shuffle.

                  I don't mind so long as the outcome is great.

                    I would like them to take their time with it and make it right, am hoping this game with tie me over as far as FPS go for a good while yet instead of something you play for 50 hours then never pick up again

                      I like how in the interviews, they mention how BC2 will have a leaping quality from BC1. That says a lot man. He would not say that if it werent true, so I pretty sure BC2 will be a lot better than BC1.
