Battlefield: Bad Company 2

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:

• Single player campaign is actually really good which unusual for battlefield
• Awesome graphics for the time

Cons:

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

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.

I suppose a Battlefield Bad Company 3 is just around the corner well it should be because these are games people love to play with the first Battlefield Bad Company being a testament to that. But, and a big but, don't fall for the media sensationalism.

Okay so you can blow up a building but that should not be the only reason why you play. It is a lot similar to the first Battlefield Bad Company game when I talk gameplay but please you can be forgiven for writing this off as a sequel cash in.

I play for achievements and I found I completed the game in about a week on and off but the achievements, this game, appears to have glitches.

You can collect all of the weapons as collectables which you pick up as you play but the achievement unlocked before I had collected all of the weapons and you are left asking yourself, I don't deserve this?

There are parts when you can commandeer a tank or drive other vehicles vehicles are still included if you are that way inclined.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is a rather easy game even on the hardest difficulty so don't worry about losing your life and restarting over and over again. Well, I myself I will admit I am not a very skilled gamer but I could still unlock all of the offline achievements and complete the game.

It is 2024 so don't download the DLC (downloadable content) because well, you can't. Additional content had come at a high price most of it is based in Vietnam. But look, you can't pay and download it has been too long.

This game has co-op (cooperative) gaming all over it so play with a friend not just on Xbox Live but in the privacy of your home!

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.
