    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Review

     I have been a fan of the Battlefield series since the very beginning and this is an amazing edition. The multiplayer is basically what I asked for in a Battlefield game. Which is war-like combat on a huge map, scattered with  vehicles, and just that old school Battlefield feel. It really brought me back to those old days from Battlefield 2 for PC. In this they brought back the conquest mode which is basically when the map is covered with 3-5 points that your team needs to capture and hold. It is the most basic mode in the Battlefield series. They also have rush which is the mode from Bad Company 1 where there is 2 bomb sites and an offense who blows up the bomb and a defense who defends the bomb. There are two new modes which are squad rush and squad death match. Squad rush is just rush with 4 on 4 instead of the normal 12 on 12. Squad death match is a 4 v 4 v 4 v 4 showdown for who's team can get to 50 first. I usually only stick to rush and conquest and sometimes squad death match but I probably wont be playing squad rush anytime soon. Dice really did raise the bar here on the multiplayer and it exceeds the first game by a lot. As far as the single player, story is a bit dry and I find myself lost in exactly how the story is progressing or what I 'am doing in the big scheme of things. Other than that the visuals are amazing and everything looks so nice. Stunning environments and I think they perfected the destruction. Overall it is a great game.   The only hangup I have is when a conquest game is ending they start to blare this annoying horn sound, they needs to be gone in the next update.

      The Best Multiplayer Experience 0

      Bad Company 2 provides the  best multiplayer experience currently on the consoles. I think it betters every other serious FPS on console: COD:MW2, HALO, MAG etc.    I didnt play BC1 but was always a fan of the series on the PC and I still play Battlefield 2. I was abit skeptical about DICE's new outing on the consoles but it seems my fears were unfounded as the game has blown me away. While it doesnt match the scale of previous installments with only 24 players, but it matches and even surpasses...

      Bad Company 2 stomps the previous game in almost every aspect 0

      Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a strange game. After spending a lot of time with it, I've come to the conclusion that DICE took one main aspect of the game in the wrong direction and took the other main aspect in the right direction. The end result is a game that certainly isn't of poor quality. Rather, it's a game that could have been much more, but wasn't due to some strange decisions made particularly with the single player.  War. Serious business. Bad Company 1 was the first real attempt ...
