Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (Ultimate Edition) (Xbox 360, 2010)

I've been playing first person shooters since Counter Strike 1.5 came out, so I think I have a little knowledge in the genre. The Call of Duty franchise has been beating on the same dead horse for a long time and for some reason... kids still love it!

I'm an enthusiast when it comes to military shooters and my standards are higher. I look for a game with depth, balance and the life span of the game will last longer than 1 year until the sequel comes out. Here comes Battlefield Bad Company 2. This game is more than guns and scoring kills. This game is about team work.

The problem with COD is everyone is out to be number 1 on the scoreboard and thats all. This game is for those who want to work together with players to achieve victory for the team. Class based and more realistic than COD, it might not be for everyone.

With bullet dynamic physics, vehicle warfare, destructible environments and huge open sandbox style maps, this is a game of patience and thought so the learning curve is a little steeper than Call of Duty. The maps are spectacular and DICE Studios is constantly releasing new maps for this game which came out back in March of 2010! (7 map packs thus far and recently an expansion pack was released!) You can't go wrong with a game that has such a dedicated company still supporting it.

The sound FX are amazing too. DICE has incredible audio range technology that really captures the feeling that you're in this world, be it in an open desert or inside a building.

The game modes are a refresher from Call of Duty as well. No more team death match or free for all. Conquest and Rush are the two most commonly played modes (while you can still find plenty of players in the other game modes) that offer lots of good lengthed fun matches.

The list goes on and on for me and others on why BC2 is superior to Call of Duty. If you're into a more realistic military shooter experience (without it being a simulation) than do not hesitate to pick up a copy of this state of the art masterpiece.


See you on the battlefield!

THis is a great game it tops modern warfare 2 seriously plus the vietnam DLC makes it one of the best shooter games out there another think to say is the VIP codes here it unlocks the battlefield 1943 game the new co-op mode onslaught and a ton of maps its good buy

Just the extras this game comes with are worth the price. It comes with battlefield 1943, onslaught mode and the VIP pass unlocks 7 map packs so far! Couldn't believe all it comes with. Make sure you buy an unopened copy so you know the codes haven't been used.

I wish the game would allow you to turn off swearing like Gears of War, instead I had to resort to turning off dialog all together.

This game is all about the online multiplayer, some of the best online multiplayer ever created! Huge great looking environments that are completely destructible. Blowing up a wall or an entire building becomes part of your strategy. It is objective based, so you are rewarded for having a strategy, and if a team is full of people who camp and snipe, they lose, as they should!

This is one of the best games I've ever played, I liked it even more than COD Modern warfare 2! The Graphics are excellent, the story line is even better than the first Bad Co., and the online play is Awesome! EA has always put out a great product and BC2 is one of their best! If you liked Bad Company, you'll love Bad Company 2. If you haven't played either then get them both, you will not be disappointed!

Its a really good game for its type of play, Large scale, lots of things to blow up, never gets boring.
