Battlefield: Bad Company 2

DICE's game Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an intense modern warfare FPS shooter game that is mainly based on online play. Bad company 2 relies on vehicular game-play, massive sandbox multi-player and single-player maps and destruction.

Bad company 2 (and the first one) is powered by DICE's frostbite engine which allows for tactical destruction. In the first bad company a man could blow a hole in a wall, crumbling cover or making new paths. Bad company 2 makes its destruction even better, by making its destruction even smaller and larger. Multiple shots at a wall will make small chunks of the wall chip off, this is probably the most impressive new destruction system in the new bad company 2. You can also have the ability to take down whole buildings, unfortunately, each building collapses are not dynamic, and therefore the animation of the building collapsing is the exact same for every building for the same type.

The campaign of bad company 2 could use some improvement, instead of the sandbox style campaign in the first bad company DICE has chosen to make the campaign to be a one way campaign. Although this is good for a first time play it is severely lacking in replay novelty. The storyline also could use some improvement, the storyline is not original, so it may be a good storyline you may find it to be quite familiar. There is also a whole between bad company 1 and bad company 2 campaigns, this leaves some unanswered questions.

Multiplayer is quite balanced and is very entertaining. There are 4 kits which are quite customizable. the game-play is very entertaining, and you don't necessarily have to kill anyone else to get points, for example if your a medic, you can heal people, which will give you quite a lot o points, this really rewards teamwork. Bad company 2 relies on team work, which can be very frustrating if your team isn't playing the game seriously. also the range and realistic ballistics of this game assures for no "spraying" (shooting from the hip without aiming) as bullets do drop down due to gravity and people who "spray" will find themselves losing.

In conclusion bad company 2 is a refreshing, balanced and competitive game, it could use some improvement in the campaign and there are some small frustrations that can lead you to become very frustrated. Frustration aside this game is an amazing game that is a must buy for war FPS lovers,

Firstly I would definitely say this game is better than Modern Warfare 2, simply because of almost everything, the excellent sound affects, the incredible graphics, the scale of the online maps and the satisfaction of destruction. Maybe it's true that it's story line is not quite as good as MW2's and as well as the fact that there's not a fantastic amount of variety in the missions, but it is still a lot of fun to blow a hole in a wall or bring a house down to eye level which never seems to get old! You will experience a few funny moments in the game which you wouldn't really have in MW2 which I like, but some aren't so keen on this. Now the multi-player, this is probably the best part of this game, as this game has been built on a foundation of pure online shooters. The fact that it feels like you're in an actual battlefield at times and not on you're sofa really is impressive, the settings of the maps and the sound of distant gunfire really is extraordinary. You have slightly more limited customisation options than you get on MW2 but I don't really see that as a problem, the ability to drive tanks or fly a helicopter really makes up for it. There are some issues with lag at times but this happens no more often than on COD and can normally be settled by switching your console off and on. This really is a fantastic game especially if you regularly play online, if your bored of MW2 and fancy a change then this is a very good alternative to settle your virtual warzone itch. So If you can't play this game online maybe wait until the price drops a bit, but otherwise, what are you waiting for!

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!

The Heavy Metal mission, despite the tanks lacking FCS (Fire Control System), is a great example of using combined arms, including reconnaissance, artillery, and tanks, to secure the outskirts of a city.

Additionally, the Sangre Del Toro mission illustrates effective triangulation in communications and minefield breach opening procedure (with the game's limitation of turning back in 10 seconds or being shot due to map restrictions). This is achieved by navigating through an existing clearing that your forces are unaware of, but is restricted prior gaining the intel.

The lack of the prone stance, however, is a significant flaw in a game where we need more cover, especially considering that nearly everything is destructible.

It's worth noting that the game is more of an arcade experience than a simulation. Your companions are invulnerable, and in reality, a competent military operation would not involve inserting four individuals for these high-risk (or dare I say, crazy) missions. However, that's precisely what makes people enjoy the game and is part of its charm.
