The quartet of military misfits introduced in the original Battlefield: Bad Company are back and taking a backseat to a revamped (and far more exciting) multiplayer mode in Battlefield: Bad Company 2. On the single-player side of things, Marlowe, Sweetwater, Haggard and Sarge find themselves embroiled in a military endeavor that feels way above their level of understanding—appropriately, as the soldiers in B Company are tasked with hunting down a mysterious super-weapon that dates back to World War II. Bad Company 2 does some time jumping, with the game kicking off in Japan during 1940s, then leaping forward to the modern day, bouncing around from frosty locations like Alaska to balmy Bolivia and beyond. Along the way, bald bad guys must be stopped, lest freedom and the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are destroyed by a doomsday device in the hands of a madman. Battlefield: Bad Company 2's multiplayer has clearly been given more priority—just look at the game's box art, which favors a prominent "Battlefield" over the "Bad Company," the direct opposite of the first entry. Or simply play the game, which may be the best multiplayer offering fans of modern military shooters will get this year, one that outshines its single-player half.Read full review
The best part of this game is the new Squad Mode in MultiPlayer! The graphics aren't much of a step up from the previous bad company release. How ever the game play and bullet trajectory is much better. The maps are Nice, but a bit small in Squad mode. I haven't much gotten into the Campaign yet, as I got it for the Multi player. COD modern warfare 2 is still the Prettiest with the best overall gameplay for FPS on the market for PS3. This Game BC2 has great Gameplay, and the New Building destruction has been taken to the next level, the buildings will give in under the damage and you will here a voice say this thing is coming down, and you gotta run out of the building in multi player before it collapses, kinda cool. There is excessive swearing from the In game voice, and that's coming from somebody who throws around the F bomb while playing the game like grenades, And i still find my self trying to keep up with the stream of vulgarities coming from the Game it self, and we aren't talking the other players. Over all I give it 7/10, If i hadn't played the previous one and wasn't constantly comparing it to COD MWF2 in my head i would give it a 8.5/10 It's a Good game, they didn't fix the side step while sprinting control though, and still no Prone. Also offers A different class/weapon select screen, and a Join squad feature in other On line Game Modes like Rush, or conquest. So far I'm holding out for some Good maps in there first map release to save this Multi player platform. Glad I only paid $45 for my NIB copy off Ebay and not $65 from the store Or i'd be a bit Pissed off about the Graphics looking Like a Nintendo 64 game with a 720p processor. Oh well, Still a Fun game to play when COD gets boring, like it always does. I love Bad company two for the Sniper aspect, it's a way more realistic shooter for those who prefer sniping, and the maps offer a lot of good nooks and ledges.Read full review
Excellent game. The destructible enviornments just make it just as more fun. That's something Call of Duty just can't pull off. The leveling system is great and balanced because it only gives points toward the classes that you play with mostly. One thing I didn' like though is the fact that when you try to go online sometimes your profile data is reset. You have to play a couple of rounds to make it go away, stil it's frustrating. Also, the highest HD settings for this game is 720p, while my TV has a maximum of 1080p, which was dissappointing to me. All in all, it's a great game that can provide hours of endless fun.
This game, is by far, my personal favorite. I am a harcore gamer and practically addicted to the Call of Duty series. However Cod has been, disappointing, that's why I bought Battlefield. Was it a good choice? How about replacement for Cod! Even after Black Ops I find my self continually going back to Battlefield. The setup in battle field is much better than Cod. Games are much larger, im not sure about team sizes but I believe its 12 or 16 per team. Thats a fairly large number of people, but the maps are not crowded. The maps are very well designed, multiple sniper spots, vantage points, explosive barrels, trees, forests, you name it they have it. One of my favorite aspects, vehicles. In every game there is some game ranging from a four wheeler to a tank, to the apache gun ships. It is pretty intense, especially in my case, I had a lucky shot on the pilot of a Helicopter, the whole thing fell out of the sky and killed the passengers who failed to realized that they no longer had a pilot. With no time to jump and deploy a parachute they crashed into the ground, exploding into a horrendous fireball. The game also has a well balanced spawn system. The map will not let enemies into your spawn on most maps. It tells them that they are leaving the battlefield and if they do not return they are killed after 5 seconds. Spawn camping was terrible on Cod and since that problem has never been fixed I turn to battlefield. The game itself is about the same for graphics, maybe slightly less detailed, but the quality of game play, and sound (surprisingly) Is incredible. The campers that plague Cod are no longer a problem (for long) tho camping is a very easy and effective strategy, it is not shunned or recommended on battlefield. You can camp all day long if you want, as long as you have cover, in most cases, once a camper or sniper is sighted (or spotted by another player, a tool which buts a red triangle above enemies on all teammates screens. Very handy) Other snipers will usually seek out the targets, if the target is hidden in a building, a simple shoulder fired rocket launcher is enough to expose poor guy. If hes not killed, it'll shake him up, probably relocate if he can. Building walls, trees, virtually everything is destructible in the game. Buildings will come crashing down, killing anyone inside, or on the roof, once the structural integrity has been reduced. these piles of wood and metal would seem to be worthless, however you can crawl through some of the small spaces underneath and ambush unsuspecting targets. They can provide better cover than the original standing building. My overall impression? Battlefield ups the bar for shooters, providing a very in-depth and large scale battle every time. No match is the same, and I hope to see you on the battlefield ;)Read full review
I've tried Call of Duty, Homefront, Modern Warfare, Black Ops, and other Battlefield games, and nothing compares to the immersive gameplay and interactive environments of this game. No other game has the co-operative squad-centric, objective-based matches that Bad Company 2 can create. Even more so, when you turn on your mic and communicate with your squad. Unlike Call of Duty and Homefront, guns act more realistic in BC2. you don't feel like you are running around a rat maze firing lasers. If you find yourself backagainst a wall, fear not, use an explosive weapon and make a door where once there was only a wall. See that sniper hiding in that tower way up there on the hill? No problem. The tower is completely destructible and will collapse (killing the sniper in destruction). See someone run into a building and don't want to chase them inside? No problem. Place C4 charges around the walls and bring that building down. The software developer, DICE, did an amazing job with Destruction 2.0 in this game. The environment is actually the 25th player in the game. Just about anything you see can be destroyed. You can use this to your advantage by making a divot in the ground and then placing a landmine in the hole, making your mines harder for enemy vehicles to spot. ... oh, I almost forgot, the vehicles! Whether its a quad, a UAV, a boat, a helicopter, or an M1A1 Abrams or a soviet Tiger Tank, you'll find unique challenges in vehicles -- and will find yourself cursing them when you are unable to hit that circling Apache with your RPG-7.... The "vanilla" version of the game permits you to press your "SELECT" button when you see an enemy that will "spot" that enemy for the rest of your team to see. If you don't kill them, but your squad or teammates do, you get points for assisting. If you find this to be too elementary for your game-style, the spotting mechanics are hidden in the "hardcore mode" though. At the end of 2010, DICE released an expansion product for $15 that used the same base-models, but puts your team in The 'Nam. Firefights in Vietnam use era-specific weaponry, and are more close-quarters due to the density of the jungles and narrow maps. All in all, this is a great, well-rounded game with several game modes to choose from. You have the Squad Deathmatch games for the Call of Duty recruits getting their feet wet. There's a "capture the flag" mode call Conquest, and the genre-defining "Rush" mode that pits your team against the other team in an attempt to defend (or destroy) sets of two communications stations. You have to play it to believe it! (All of these modes are available in the Vietnam expansion pack as well) I have been looking for a substitute to this game, but there just is not a suitable replacement out there on the market. I was holding off re-purchasing this game due to the recent release of THQ's Homefront, but was deeply disappointed in the gameplay and lack of environmental interaction of the THQ release. Whether you are a aged veteran to the Battlefield, or a newcomer to the genre, look no further than Battlefield:Bad Company 2. Accept no imitations. The only people who aren't going to like this game are the Treyarch diehard fans who won't give it a chance. If you rent it, you will buy it. Save yourself the rental expense, and buy this game. Preferably with the "VIP code" so that you have access to all of the maps.Read full review
