2011 BAFTA – Use Of Audio

“Playing this game with a good pair of headphones (or a proper hi-fi, if you’ve got one) makes you realise how little attention a lot of developers pay to the way their games sound. There are a few notable exceptions, of course, but DICE in particular have made an effort to really nail it with their last few releases, and Bad Company 2 is their best-sounding game yet.” – Sean Bell, Dark Zero Videogame Magazine

The audio team at DICE won the award for use of audio at the 2011 British Academy of Film & Television Awards with Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I was credited in the game, working on some of the VO mainly for Multi Player but also for the Single Player campaign.

The statue is very heavy to hold, also physically speaking. Our Audio Director Extraordinaire, Stefan Strandberg, is pictured to the right of the BAFTA statue.
