IGN: How does Bad Company take the Battlefield franchise in a new direction?
Karl Magnus Troedsson: One of the biggest additions is the new singleplayer part of the game. By adding a full story and character-driven experience we add a lot of new value to the franchise. At the same time we continue to develop the already strong multiplayer heritage that Battlefield has.
IGN: Conversely, how does it fit into the Battlefield legacy?
Karl Magnus Troedsson: The strong focus on the single player won't equal less focus on the multiplayer part of Battlefield: Bad Company, this portion of the game will still be a natural evolvement of the foundations this franchise is built upon. Also, adding destructible environments to both single- and multiplayer will give the players so many new ways of waging war on the battlefield, giving new meaning to true sandbox gameplay.
