Battlefield: Bad Company Review
You start as Private Preston Marlow who is put into a group of soldiers known as B-Company, which stands for Bad Company. These people have been put in this company for doing various "bad" things in the Army. Your three companions are the Sarge, Haggard, and Sweetwater Throughout this campaign you will laugh from things that Haggard and Sweetwater do and say. During the cut-scenes, them two will play Rock-Paper-Scissors and do other things like play golf with their weapon. This company, despite being "bad" are assigned to do the hardest task of all of the Army and will always leave to tell there tale. Your companions do little to help you and are invincible, so everything relies on you and your decisions. The AI is this game is pretty smart, if you are hiding then they will try to flank you and make you move from your location, but of-course you won't be able to go far because most everything is destructible. That is one of the keys to this game, blowing things up, and let me tell you, it is a fun thing to do. Almost all of the weapons come equipped with a grenade launched that deals the destructive blows to the walls and environment. There is a good balance of weapons and vehicles that you use throughout the campaign, but you will mainly want to stick to the things that go BOOM. The sound in this game, especially with surround sound, is phenomenal. All of the weapons sound like they should and the explosions also sound great.
Overall, the single player is an enjoyable experience and you will want to check it out. There is good humor mixed in and the game is pretty long, probably about 8-10 hours on normal. But enough of the single player, the multi player is where this game shines and is what built the Battlefield franchise.
At the time that this review was written, there was only one game mode, known as gold rush, which is a fun game mode, I just wish there were more than one mode. EA has announced that they will add Conquest mode in a later DLC pack, which will be highly accepted. But for the time, Gold Rush is just fine. One team is the attackers and one team is the defenders, and the defenders defend the gold while the attacked try to destroy it. Whoever is successful in their task, gets the victory, and you will gain experience. The whole multi player mode is built around the experience and level growth. You get experience for things like killing an enemy and completing an objective, but you can also lose points for killing an enemy and such. After each game, your total experience for that game is then added to your total and you can gain levels and gain starting weapons. This system works very well and is effective and I like it. Everything about the MP, is just plain and simple fun. A great moment was when I blew a whole in a wall with an RPG, assassinated the guy in there, and destroyed the Gold, ah, so much fun. The MP is very well, but they need to go ahead and add conquest, or they may lose a lot of people that got old of Gold Rush.
Overall, this game is fun and an enjoyable experience. I recommend this game if you are into Online games or just like shooters. The explosions are what this game was built on, and it succeeds in that manner.
