Okay, this is absolutely brilliant. My affections are always available for the high price of a really good gag, and EA/DICE just bought mine for Bad Company 2 with their fantastic spoof of Modern Warfare 2′s painfully awkward Fight Against Grenade Spam video. The original video featured heroic Phillies (baseball) pitcher Cole Hamel presenting a PSA-style advert about the problems of grenade spamming in Modern Warfare. It was a cute idea, made hideous by the astonishingly ill-advised decision to use the acronym “FAGS” – as if there isn’t enough of that word being screamed over Xbox Live already. With a deft touch, DICE continue their PR assault on Activision’s cash-cow (following on from their announcement they’d be releasing free Bad Company 2 DLC on the same day MW2′s first DLC map pack appears) with this piss-take. See both below.
