Ive never played this game before, got it yesterday. Would it be a good idea to play it on hard to start off...or should I start off slow at medium. Because I want the achievements...but I still want to have fun

"Ive never played this game before, got it yesterday. Would it be a good idea to play it on hard to start off...or should I start off slow at medium. Because I want the achievements...but I still want to have fun"

I played it on the lowest setting without realizing only to then notice no achievements :(

I have the PS3 version, so playing it on Medium isn't going to unlock any trophies or anything for me, so I decided to play it on Hard. It is a little challenging, especially when you have to cross the bridge near the middle of the game.

I would definitely go for Hard.

O well if the achievements dont stack then im not doing hard. If I really enjoy the game then ill just play it again on hard. Thanks guys

Well ,wen ur a noob and learning how to play, medium is much better than hard =D

I suck at FPS games, if I pick this up (which I might) I will hopefully be good enough to play it on medium and still have fun.

Haha well Ive been halo on legendary, and gears on insane. So im not a noob. But those were both on co-op. And there somthing said about having a human next to you, rather then two bickering AI characters. haha

Ive gone with medium btw. Maybe play hard if I enjoy it. Wish there was co-op campaign, but hey its a step in the right direction for battlefield games

The A.I won't help you regardless of what difficulty you're on, and on hard the enemies have laser vision and only target you.  It's not nearly as hard as Gears on insane though.

Start on normal, although dyeing doesn't really matter anyway, since you just respawn and the enemies that you killed are still dead...

I did notice how my teammates just sit hide in the open, not getting hurt. But If I peak my head out for just one second im screwed.

I played on Normal and the AI was still freakin' insane.

medium first, and when i got that through, just so i get the taste of it and know what i have to do.

Start it off on Normal to get used to the controls and everything and once you finish it Hard should be no problem.

Thats what ive come to the conclusion of...it was stupid to start on hard

Due to Bad Company's respawn system, it really isn't a hard game regardless of your difficulty. Easy, you can take hundreds of bullets on before it starts to be a problem. Normal is just sort of...normal, and hard, well, you'll probably be giving yourself health via the auto-injector every 20 seconds. Of course, if you die, that isn't a problem. It just gives you another unchanged opportunity to kick more ass.

INSANE

I had to grab a friend for gears on Insasne, I think i maybe got to Act 3 with the exploding locust till i was like Fuck This lol

Play it on Normal, than Hard, achievements don't stack so if you beat it on Hard, you have to re-beat it on Normal to get some achievements. Learned that the hard way.

Defenitly not that hard on Hard. Its about as hard COD 4 on Medium. I beat it on normal, got the gold and weapon achievments,  then beat it on hard. One question, if you want the staying alive achievment were you don't die during the level, can you play on easy???

Normal is just more fun =\

I haven't tried BF: BC on hard.
