Split them. I'd help if I knew the games. This seems to be a clear cut case of the games having overgrown one page. Just make sure that they link to each other and you remember to redirect each game to the right page.

As for the name, I'd probably just put the Bad Company games on Battlefield: Bad Company (with redirect) and change the incorrect Bad Company wicks. Then I'd get an Entry Pimp to help with name awareness on the wiki (e.g. linking to the page on the pages for tropes it uses). But that's just me.

The games "Battlefield: Bad Company" and "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" are spin off games of the Battlefield series, but instead of large scale multiplayer games, they are comedic single player games (though with a multiplayer mode). As a result, many of the Tropes of the Bad Company series don't apply to the rest of the Franchise, and vice versa. So in my opinion, seperate pages are called for.
1. I'm supprised that the games all share a page to begin with. The page discussion doesn't say anything why this is so, but might there be a purpose to it? I could start writing a separate page and transfering the relevant tropes right now, but I don't want to just jump in an tear something apart that others have made on purpose.
2. The page "Bad Company" currently is used to describe a rock band from the 70s. There are very few tropes and only 15 links on other pages link to that side. Of these 15 links, only 3 are actually supposed to link there and most actually want to link to the video game series. If it were just me, I'd transfer the band page to "Bad Company" and fix the three links that are supposed to go there, and use "Bad Company" for the games. But again, I don't want to make such drastic changes purly on my own "because I just know everything better than anyone else".
Please advise me: Should I go through with my plan, or are there reasons not to?
