EA's goal is to beat MW2, says DICE
EA execs want Battlefield to overthrow Modern Warfare 2 as king of the online FPS, hints DICE.

DICE's Patrick Bach has said that he believes "a lot of people on executive level" at EA see beating Modern Warfare "as a goal".
When asked by GamerZines last week as to whether DICE recognised Modern Warfare 2 as being the one to beat when it comes to online shooters, Bach replied:
"A lot of people ask us about Modern Warfare and they compare us to Modern Warfare, so when we answer questions about that it will sometimes sound like we are competing directly against them.
"I think a lot of people on executive levels see that as a goal, that we will beat Modern Warfare."
But Bach doesn't necessarily agree with that philosophy himself.
"To me it's not beating, it's showing that you can do things differently and to a high quality while delivering both a single-player and multiplayer game.
"Please go ahead and compare us but please don't see it as the same game because we're not trying to be that game. We're doing Battlefield things here, we're trying to do the game that we want to do."
Judging by our hands-on with the game, Bad Company 2 certainly has potential to give Modern Warfare 2 a run for its money, but how many of you are planning on switching to Battlefield come March?
You can take a look at our hands-on preview of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 in Issue 35 of P3Zine, released this Thursday, if you still need convincing.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 launches in Europe on March 5th on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.

Is this POSSIBLE?
For those fo you who were in the beta for Battlefield: Bad Company 2 how does the online stack up to MW2?
It definetely won't beat it in sales, but could it beat MW 2 in quality?
