That's a good question.

My first reaction is that no, the multiplayer component of Battlefield Bad Company 2 is not supposed to be Battlefield 3. However, along with 1943 and the enduring BF2 (I'll consider Heroes to garner a slightly different audience than these 3), it might be a "stop-gap" to Battlefield 3. Perhaps they are looking at a Battlefield 3 release after the next generation of consoles -- for some reason *gasp* ;)

I never played BFBC, how does the multiplayer compare to BF2? Some of the complaints I've heard (feel free to correct them) are that Bad Company has no jets or parachutes, no prone ability, smaller map and player size limits, hit top rank too easily, etc. You can't create custom squads, and there's no commander role similar to Battlefield 2? I'm assuming the latter means no UAVs, artillery, supply drops, etc? Bummer.

Who knows, it's all speculation. However, if BFBC2 is quite similar to BFBC, it doesn't seem it would quite be the next true evolution in the series that Battlefield 2 (and 2142) fans would be expecting. Still could be fun though and a fine contributor to a "stop-gap"...

^k, thanks man, my understanding isn't too far off then

Yeah, not sure how rampant it is in BFBC, but while the team killing with the "open arty" thing is too bad, you'll find it happening in BF2 as well for vehicles for example. Potentially the younger crowd playing consoles as you mentioned might make it worse, but unfortunately you'll never get completely away from that type of behavior.
