The ESRB has a lot of history leaking game announcements by giving a game a rating before it’s officially announced, but it looks like they’ve moved into the more specialized subject of leaking game content. In their expanded rating description of Battlefield: Bad Company 2, they let slip that the game evidently begins in World War II.

“In single-player mode, players conduct missions on an unnamed Japanese island during World War II and then move into the modern day through jungles, deserts, and snowy terrain,” the description explains (via Kotaku). That at least leaves us with the surprise of just how long the game stays set in World War II, doesn’t it? Hey, we’re glass-half-full types here.

Of course, the Battlefield series is no stranger to the most popular war in the first-person shooter genre — the original Battlefield 1942, as the name implies, was set during said global conflict before its sequels went on to Vietnam and modern times. And as for Electronic Arts, they can at least be satisfied the ESRB didn’t also call their game creepy and bizarre.
