Brace yourselves, this is a real thing happening.

Fox has put in development Bad Company, an hourlong action comedy based on EA's bestselling video game from Alias alum John Eisendrath, Sony TV and studio-based Happy Madison.

Written by Eisendrath, Bad Company features the main characters from the game. 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. Eisendrath is executive producing with Happy Madison's Doug Robinson and EA's Patrick Bach and Patrick O'Brien.

that could be good, if done properly. Dont make it focused around any kind of romance and all about war.

I'm assuming this means we will never get another Bad Company game?

Awesome, it's written by none of the people who wrote the funny dialog I liked in the games.

They won't. The series will fail 5 minutes after the first episode airs.

If anything it means there is a better chance. If people like the show it'll generate a huge amount of interest in Bad Company 3.

They should just make BC3 anyways since it'll sell like BC2 or even better.

Isn't Bad Company already a gaming version of A-Team? ... except for the fact they are still in the army, I mean.

I totally agree but this is just another way to drum up more hype and attention for Bad Company 3.

If movies don't work maybe TV shows will? I give the show half a season before it gets cancelled although I wouldn't be surprised if it catches on.

Probably going to be terrible, hopefully they at least have the sense to make it follow the first game opposed to the second in terms of story approach.

It has potential, most likely they will make it uber bad but there is still a chance.

I'd be interested in a more campy show on tv, considering all the super serious bullsh1t we get. But it's Fox, it's a videogame IP, and it's Bad Company...worse it's battlefield, no worse...it's a videogame ip. It's gonna suck.

Instead of Bad Company 3 we get this and EA keeps milking the BF # series.

So it will just be about a bunch of people walking around forever? Because that's all Battle Field is, it's just Walking Field.

I don't think this show is a good idea....

I had Bad Company 2, I sold it later because it was so boring, my gamertag shows it. I don't know why you would buy it over COD, seriously I don't see how someone can have fun with just walking around. I do that outside, I don't want to walk around in a video game.

They should make a show of COD instead, it could be a WW2 show and it would be super intense with all of those great COD moments.
