10 Ruthless Video Game Easter Eggs That ROAST The Competition
9. Special Ops Douchebags - Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Bad Company 2 is an FPS that, at the time of its release, had the not-so-great pleasure of sharing the same market with the titan of shooter games—Call of Duty.
Since competing with the king on equal grounds wasn't really an option, the developers of Bad Company 2 resorted to the second-best thing you can do in this situation—roasting the crap out of its main protagonists.
The game includes two references to the Call of Duty: Black Ops series, and both of them make fun of it in a really spiteful way.
The first easter egg is a conversation between the main characters where they complain about "special ops douchebags" with heart monitors attached to their guns. The reference is very directly talking about the protagonists of Black Ops while making fun of their peculiar weaponry.
The second easter egg happens during a chase sequence on quad bikes. The characters mention a snowmobile race before saying that "snowmobiles are for sissies," making a crude reference to the famous snowmobile escape sequence from Modern Warfare 2.
The roasts are simple, but at the time, this kind of direct diss wasn't common, and definitely not to this kind of viciously nasty extent.
