Even with Modern Warfare continuing to fly out the door, EA is confident that its upcoming shooter Battlefield Bad Company 2 is about to dominate the online shooter sector, commenting that there "isn't a developer out there that competes with DICE in this space."
Speaking to MCV earlier today, Bad Company 2's Product Manager Will Graham told the publication:
"While the first iteration may have lacked the polish in single player that the multiplayer did so well, this is addressed for Bad Company 2 for a rounded experience that will appeal to the mainstream consumer.

We genuinely believe there isn't a developer out there that competes with DICE in this space, and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is going to cement that."
Graham also revealed that pre-orders for the game were already 'significant' thanks to information released recently by DICE.
We played it with the developer last month. Check out the latest P3Zine for our impressions.
