A series of [[First Person Shooter]] games by DICE (Digital Illusions Creative Entertainment, based out of Sweden), with help from [[Electronic Arts]] and other associated studios. It is DICE's major franchise. Apart from this series, the only other games DICE has released recently are [[Mirror's Edge|Mirrors Edge]], and the multi-player aspect of the recent modern set [[Medal of Honor]] reboot.
Line 34 ⟶ 37:
These games are notable for being [[Trope Codifier|among the first]] to make a large-scale use of mobile vehicles in an FPS game, as well as using large maps. The games are designed to be played in multi-player mode. The earlier games had no 'single-player' campaign, only multi-player missions with bots. For games set in 'reality' these maps and missions recreated important battles in ''1942'' and ''Vietnam''.''Bad Company'', however, changed this, coming with not only a cohesive, new storyline, but a group of notable characters that stuck with you the entire game, with their own distinct personalities and voices.

Line 143:
* [[Guns Do Not Work That Way]]: Several accounts, but the most notable are RPG-7s with homing warheads and an MG-3 with an ammo box that blocks the ejection port, and magically ejects brass to the right instead of downward.
* [[Historical In-Joke]]: During the "Battle of Hue" on ''Battlefield: Vietnam'', you can hear the infamous Hanoi Hannah.
** The designers are also fond of taking sound bytes from military-related videos. "I'll get you ice cream for dinner" was stripped from a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130422094301/http://www.break.com/usercontent/2007/6/10/gunship-strafing-run-310145 helicopter gun camera recording] and mixed into the UAV walla in ''BFBC2''.
* [[Hit Scan]]: Averted, from a distance, you have to follow your target.
* [[Humongous Mecha]]: The [[A Mech by Any Other Name|Battlewalkers]] in ''Battlefield 2142''
Line 237:
** Also, {{spoiler|Operation Aurora}}
* [[Tactical Rock-Paper-Scissors]]: In theory, at least. [[Game Breaker|In practice, air vehicles typically lay waste to everything when away from AA guns.]]
* [[Take That]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20100328044756/http://www.battlefieldheroes.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=82163 The Ballad of Dedicated Servers] asks if the phasing out of [[Leaning on the Fourth Wall|dedicated servers]] ([[It Makes Sense in Context]].) is [[Modern Warfare|modern way of making warfare']]?
* [[Theme Music Power-Up]]: ''Battlefield Vietnam'' included the rather awesome feature that every vehicle was equipped with a radio, allowing you to play soundtrack songs for the other players to hear as you drove around. (Including, obviously, "[[Apocalypse Now|The Ride of the Valkyries]]" and "[[Full Metal Jacket|Surfin' Bird]]") This was then [[Subverted Trope|subverted]] as actually doing so was a great way to get yourself shot.
* [[There Is No Kill Like Overkill]]: Killing infantry with an anti-tank weapon will prevent them from being revived by a medic.
