Battlefield: Bad Company 2

I've played the original Bad Company. Even though I am a Halo-fan, I find myself enjoying a lot of other stuff, like for example BF:BC. Now, when I first bought this game, I was a little disappointed about the graphics. I mean, the graphics aren't bad, it's just that I honestly think they were better and more realistic in the first game. Still, Bad Company was totally awesome, and it would be really hard to beat that. I'm not sure, but I think I heard somewhere that they worked pretty hard on that game. Still, the quality of Bad Company 2 are just fine. In fact, they're better than most games. Now, even if you at times could have expected more on that front, there's a lot of great stuff about this game that can't be ignored. The campaign is good. It's exciting, well thought out, and maybe a little more variety here than in the first game. Some of the missions are kinda short, which isn't great, but it doesn't make the campaign bad. It's still great. I enjoy re-playing the campaign. I find the weapons and vehicles to be fun, but it seems like they could have had a little more weapons. Still, in the multiplayer, there are tons of guns and vehicles, a lot of it can't be used in the campaign. Now that sucks, that you can't use all weapons in the campaign, but it's not that big a deal. The multiplayer however, is amazing. It's tons of fun, and the maps are huge, just as in the first game. One thing that they've changed in this game is that you now get 50 points for killing a dude, while in the first game you only got 10. Now, it's the same value, of course, but when you get more points, it just feels funnier to play. Anyway the campaign is great, you can blow stuff up everywhere and killin' people is just so much fun. There's a lot of variety here too, you know in weapons, vehicles, tactics, and environment. Something I almost forgot was, the destruction. Lovin' it. You can blow up virtually anything. Houses, trees, towers, vehicles (ofcourse), bridges and other structures, they can all be destroyed. If you jump in a tank, you can probably just drive through most things, too. It's easy creating big craters in the ground as well.

Below are a list of pros and cons.

GOOD

Campaign: Funny characters, good story, exciting options etc.

Weapons and Vehicles. Nice variety, mostly in multiplayer, Realistic sounds.

Multiplayer: Very fun and life-like. Lots of weapons. It's easy to get some nice teamwork going.

Destruction: Stuff just blows up everywhere you go! (Not in an annoying way, just fun)

BAD

Graphics: They could be better at times., but it's nothing to bitch about.

Missions: Some of them are a little short.

To sum up: Awesome games. A few flaws, but really nothing to bitch about. You should definitely buy it. As long as you like fun.

Battlefield bad company 2 is one of the best and most entertaining military shooters in history, the story of the game is beautiful and sometimes funny and full of interesting and paid characters. Also, the story is well narrated as a shooter and can go to the end. Keep yourself The gameplay and gunplay are not perfect, but they are extremely fun, the mission design is great and there is a lot of variety. Gunplay, although slower than other shooters, is extremely handy The variety of weapons is also good and shooting with each weapon has a special feeling The destructibility of the game is also very well done and it induces a sense of presence on the battlefield well The technical and artistic graphics are also at a good level and there is not much weakness in it.

The game's sound is great and it gives a good feeling of being on the battlefield The game soundtracks are also of good quality In general, battlefield bad company 2 is a masterpiece in the style of military shooters.

If you feel like unleashing some large-scale firefights, riding in armored vehicles, and freezing in the middle of a snow-covered mission, "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" gives you exactly that. The story starts off intriguingly enough. The very first mission takes place in 1944 somewhere in the Sea of Japan, where the writers hook you with a secret "wunderwaffe." Then the game jumps to modern times, where you're tasked with investigating and searching for this mysterious weapon against the backdrop of a U. S.-Russia war. After that, the narrative follows a more predictable path: some characters wear serious faces, others have big plans, and you're off on missions to save everything possible. The variety of locations and familiar run-and-gun levels keep the pace lively, though the ending stumbles a bit, falling into clichés. The finale doesn't spark a "wow" or an "oh man," but rather a "well, time to install the next game and delete this one."

The missions themselves, however, are at times quite original. Take the snow episode, for example - a memorable challenge. The plot places you in extreme cold surrounded by deep snow. You literally have to keep warm through combat: freezing, sprinting from house to house, finding warm spots. Once you've thawed out, you mow down nearby enemies and keep moving. Frost creeps over the screen as if it's icing up your eyes, the protagonist breathes heavily as though you're out there without a hat yourself. Sometimes you need to get clever, shooting at conveniently placed barrels. They explode, set the area ablaze, and let you warm up again. It's a unique mechanic that sticks with you.

Beyond the "on-foot" action, the game lets you go wild with vehicles. Tanks, ATVs, armored carriers - no shortage of fun. You even get to play with something resembling a drone that guides missiles to targets. The missions are highly varied in terms of gameplay, and this variety feels good: guns roar loudly, vehicles move with confidence, and there's more than enough action to keep you engaged.

The graphics still hold up surprisingly well even today. The world feels alive, packed with detail, and the destruction is both large-scale and convincing. It's especially satisfying to watch an enemy hideout crumble into rubble - always a highlight. Less fun, of course, when it's your cover being blown to bits and you're suddenly exposed, scrambling to switch positions.

In the end, "Battlefield: Bad Company 2" is a solid, confident shooter with tight mechanics and lively gameplay. Not perfect, but definitely worth checking out - if only for a few standout missions and the thrill of feeling like more than just a soldier, but part of a massive, chaotic spectacle.

7 out of 10.

What was all the hype about? I was anticipating this games release for awhile. I heard it was going to be way better than CoD:MW2, which I was a fan of. I saw a goofy GameStop commercial and was thinking, the graphics look way better than that on the other commercials. When this game was released I picked up my reserved copy from GameStop. I went home and put it in my PS3. Right away I was kind of let down by the graphics. The reviews all said it was going to blow CoD:MW2 out of the water. What happened? Were all the game critics just hyping this game up for the sake of sales? Anyways, in single player the game is okay. I would say it's top 5 fps, but the online mode that everyone is going on about isn't much different than the old Battlefield 2. Back when Battlefield 2 came out, it was either Counter Strike: Source or Battlefield 2. Just like the whole CoD:MW2 vs. Battlefield: BC2 thing. I sided with Battlefield 2, because the online fighting was new. They haven't changed it much, and I have to say that some of the maps on the older Battlefields are better than the new Battlefield maps. Also, the graphics haven't changed much either. The lag kills on BC2, and sometimes accomplishments don't even load for about five to ten minutes into the game. I would also get disconnected a lot, which is frustrating when you are doing really well. I was always the medic, because that's my occupation in real life, so that was kind of neat, but when your accomplishments don't load for awhile, it gets kind of annoying trying to re earn everything. Also, sniper city. If the online play was tighter and the graphics more detailed, this would be able to compete with the arena style fighting CoD:MW2 brings to the table. You can't just rent this game because accomplishments take awhile to unlock, but the price is still a bit high. I'd wait to buy this when the price comes down.

I think the most common pick for the best Battlefield game most recently has been Battlefield 3 since many people long for a similar setting and tone in the upcoming games. However, before that, Battlefield Bad Company 2 was the almost consensus best Battlefield Game.

Pros:

• Maps look stunning
• Destruction system is absolutely incredible
• The gunplay is absolutely awesome
• Sound design is incredible
• Squad play is really well designed
• Single player campaign is actually really good which unusual for battlefield
• Awesome graphics for the time
• Vehicles handle well and feel great
• Progression is well designed

Cons:

• Weapon balance is not perfect
• Campaign is a little short

Overall, the nitpicks are so small, it can't really take away from how amazing this game is!
