DICE has assured fans that the PC version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be tailored to the platform.
The first Bad Company game never made it to the PC and developer DICE is keen to stress that the PC release of Bad Company 2 will not simply be a port.
Speaking to IncGamers, DICE’s Gordon Van Dyke stressed that each version of the game is being “tweaked and adjusted” to suit the platform.
“On the PC, it's a PC version, which is getting that same treatment, and then also a little bit more as PC users are generally used to a different type of experience than console users are, and we recognise that and we want to make sure that we give that to the PC market and give the console market more,” said Van Dyke.
When pressed on whether the PC version will include modding tools, Van Dyke stated that while the situation is “really, really complicated” due to the game engine being in its infancy, he did offer some hope for the modding community.
“Once we start getting there and the engine gets to a level where we can release tools that are easy for our own guys to use, and then easy for people publicly, then we'll get into that and we'll really start to focus on it,” he revealed.
“But it's definitely not something that we're like, ‘oh, we won't do that.’”
More good news for PC fans came when Van Dyke that, as well as launching a beta for the PS3, a PC beta will also go ahead.
“We're also going to have a PC beta, and we'll announce more details on that at a later date,” he said.
