Deadline reveals that Fox have begun developing Bad Company; an hour long action comedy based on EA's hit video game, Battlefield: Bad Company. While recent instalments have been far more serious in tone, the first game was very much a light-hearted affair, despite being a first person shooter (one sequence saw players driving a golf buggy as they attacked a dictator's compound). The series is being developed by Alias' John Eisendrath, Sony TV and studio Happy Madison. Eisendrath has written the pilot, and it will feature the main characters from the game. According to the site, "It follows four renegade soldiers as they exit military life and enter the private sector. But trouble is never far behind as they realize their commanding officer had used them to further the ends of a shadow unit within the government and now wants them dead to cover his tracks." The game was great fun and this series has an awful lot of potential...

this game was whack. so that means a tv show/movie will suck more. at this point i am surprised they havent made a Call Of Duty Moderen Warfare movie yet.

battlefield games are good. and theyre right they did stray away from the goofy tone in later installments. Idk how to feel about this tv adaptation tho. I only played Battlefield 2 and 3

I loved this game. If they do it right, it has potential.

They lost my interest at "private sector." It's called BATTLEFIELD for a reason fellas.

Hah. Good call. Will still give it a chance just because I enjoyed the game.
