    Battlefield: Bad Company may be developed for the PC if the console versions sell well ["[A] member of EA's PR staff got in touch to give me the company line on a PC version of Bad Company: "Details to be announced at a later date." Translate to, "We're finishing the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions first, will assess whether the game is a hit, and then proceed with a PC version if it is." (ve3d.ign.com)].

    Watch this video of the game by clicking on the image (from ve3d):

    Now what would you expect the minimum and recommended requirements would be if it is released next fall? How well would an 8600m GT/ HD2600 be able to handle this game?

    EA Forums said that Battlefield Bad Company is exclusive to XBOX360 and PS3... But who knows, they might put it for PC, but I doubt it.

    battlefield has never had a story on the pc, its always multiplayer, the consoles always get some sort of story so dont think ea will change its ways

    Bad company is too much like BF2, it would time wasted, time they could spend on a new game.

    Fixed :D.

    I know someone who was an associate producer at EA that worked on Need for Speed Carbon ProStreet, I could try fishing out some "insider info" (but if he's bound by NDA, don't expect him to tell me anything).

    I hate to repeat this but it's EA, I don't think they've ever created an original game...just buy up the rights to a series and then ruin it by releasing rushed sequels/expansions that really aren't that good.

    It's almost a given it's coming to the PC since it's on the XBox 360
