I never played the first Bad Company, the humour looked forced and horrible, like a Wil Ferrel fan's FPS. HUR-HUR, FRATBOY SOLDIERS BUMBLING ABOUT. Mainstream American humour is so bad that even Swedes can convincingly emulate it.
God, I just simply cringe thinking about those trailers that parodied MGS4, R6 Vegas and that fucking pretentious Gears of War commercial with the Donnie Darko song.
Also the whole 12-month development cycle for a sequel screams "glorified expansion pack" TBH.

Guildford, UK - February 5, 2009 - DICE, an Electronic Arts Inc studio (NASDAQ: ERTS), today announced the development of Battlefield: Bad Company 2™, the sequel to last year's blockbuster title. In this installment, the Bad Company crew again find themselves in the heart of the action, where they must use every weapon and vehicle at their disposal to survive. The action unfolds with unprecedented intensity, introducing a level of fervor to vehicular warfare never before experienced in a modern warfare action game. To get ready for the assault this winter, players can prepare for action in Battlefield 1943™, an all-new multiplayer game available this summer via PlayStation®Store, Xbox LIVE™ Marketplace and on the PC.
In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the ‘B' company fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages. With a heavy arsenal of deadly weapons and a slew of vehicles to aid them, the crew set off on their mission and they are ready to blow up, shoot down, blast through, wipe out and utterly destroy anything that gets in their way. Total destruction is the name of the game, delivered as only the DICE next generation Frostbite™ engine can. Either online or offline, enemies will soon learn there is nowhere to hide. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 will be available for the Xbox 360® videogame and entertainment system, the PLAYSTATION®3 computer entertainment system and the PC.
Using the same Frostbite™ engine, Battlefield 1943 takes players back to WWII. The game offers endless hours of 24 player multiplayer action over three classic and tropic locations; Wake Island, Guadalcanal and Iwo Jima. Delivering the award-winning through-the-gun and vehicle warfare online experience DICE is best recognized for, Battlefield 1943 will have players battling in ruthless aerial dog fights and intense trench combat. Players can see the game in action at New York Comic Con (Booth #1441) from February 6th-8th.
“Bad Company 2 takes everything that players liked in the original and ups the ante - more vehicles, more destruction and more team play,” said Karl Magnus Troedsson, Executive Producer Battlefield Franchise, DICE. “Battlefield 1943 is a new take on a blast from the past classic coming to life with brand new technology that we're eager to get into players hands.”

Yeah, other forums are up in arms over the 24-player cap. Definite console port.
Unless you meant going to back WW2, after TEH FUTURE WITH PEW-PEW LASERS. We know that you were gay for 2142, Koki.

It's not about PEW PEW LAZORS, it's about options. You can't put a Titan in WW2, you can't put EMP grenades in WW2, you can't put gunships in WW2, you can't put jet pods in WW2...

EMP grenades would have little use in WW2.

Now, now, some people managed to put zombies in WW2, so don't lose hope just yet.

But were they cyborg-zombies with jetpacks?
