 A unique experience July 25, 2008

First let me point out that comparing this to COD4 is pointless, they may be both FPS but they both have different strengths. COD4 is more realistic and while Bad Company is also a war FPS its amazing but on a different level.
The story in BC is quite unique and humourous, by now you probably know what the story is about, 4 guys are in Bad Company, a group that is the cannon fodder for the enemy before the rest of the army goes in. During a mission they stumble upon a mercenary group and find gold. So basically it starts from there with many humourous conversations and situations that follow suite. Single player is excellent and never gets boring.
You start off in a location on the map, the maps are pretty big by the way, and you have objectives to complete until another portion of the map is available to you, the red section of the map are no go areas. Objectives may ask you to eliminate enemies or destroy something, the objectives follows this sequence most of the time but it never feels dull.
The graphics are pretty impressive and environments are expansive and detailed and almost everything is destructable, save some stone structures and building frames. Believe me causing massive destruction never gets boring. Explosions are also pretty impressive.
Weapons are very important in this game they sound awesome and each one feels different than one another although I felt some weapons I didn't use in singleplayer as the areas you fight in mostly require you to use long range weapons like light machine guns, assault rifles and sniper rifles, but each weapon can be put to use somewhere it would of been nice if you were able to equip to different weapon types but nevermind. You can only equip one weapon at a time, which isn't as bad as it sounds. Also with each weapon come equiped with either grenades or launchers or some other hand gun. You can also aquire devices such as C4, rocket launchers etc to aid you in destroying vehicles or objectives which is a nice touch. There are alot of weapons too and most of them can be used in multiplayer aswell and firing at nothing just to hear the sounds never seems to get boring lol.
Vehicles are another main feature of BC such as boats, helicopters, APCs and tanks although you could get by without them they do make life easier and the enemy are much tougher when they acquire them.
The emenies in BC are pretty intelligent and use cover etc. They can also fire at you from miles away almost always landing a hit and they rarely miss. Some people have gripes about this but to me it dosen't matter as it adds more of a challenge and your health syringe is unlimited anyways. Yes the syringe, the only health item you have which takes 20 seconds to refill so you can use it again. Makes it sound like a cheat but I kid you not with aenemies almost always lnding their shots on you the syringe is a neccessity.
I haven't played multiplayer much but it was quite exciting. Theres only one mode at the moment, Gold Rush, but theres another one coming i nthe next patch. Basically your either playing as Attackers (attacking the boes of gold) or the Defenders (guys who defend the gold hold back the Attackers advance). Theres 5 classes, each one having different types of weapons and devices aiding the team in someway such as healing your team or repairing vehicles etc. As in singleplayer players can cause destruction across the battlefield destroying buildings, potholes etx and vehicles. The maps are pretty big too.
I had doubts at first about but I was not disappointed, this game is a must have.
Really Fun! June 14, 2008

The single player is really good including a good story line, humerous characters but for me far too short (although I'm edicted to this game so what do I expect!). However online is where this game really shines, a vast range of weapons are available as you go through the ranks along with great vehicles (tanks, helicopter, jeep, boat etc) and detailed maps. Huge numbers can play together without any glitches (it's just as smooth as single player). Although there are very few maps, sony will probably release more further in the year! This is one game you should definatly get!
Excellent! June 4, 2008

This is the first BF game that i have played and i must say I am very much impressed.
I downloaded the demo yesterday (I managed to get the demo early) and have been playing it non-stop, and when a demo is excellent... a fantastic full release follows.
Pros -
- Quite a wide selection of weapons and equipment to unlock. (you unlock them with credits earned by ranking up)
- Good ranking system, you earn points for every positive action you take (for example destroying a vehicle)
- Destructible scenery. While it IS limited, (only certain pieces of buildings will crumble) it is still executed well. Trees, Posts, walls, Towers, they all crumble at the feet of a tank or something else explosive.
- A fair range of vehicles; helicopters, multiple forms of tanks, cars, buggies, dingies. More in the full game i suspect
Cons -
- Only one game mode in the demo, and i've heard that this mode is pretty much all there will be in the full game.
- Some guns you will NEVER get as you need to unlock them in promotional events, such as pre-ordering with play.com (i can't do that, my card isn't accepted there). Check battlefield.com/badcompany for more on that.
- Others have complained about the grainy graphics and scratchy sound. I personnally like this feature as it feels realistic.
- Tanks are invincible (haha)
So yeah, there you go i guess. I haven't had a chance to play the campaign mode yet as it doesn't interest me.
ALSO if you are going to pre-order this game... pre-order the gold edition, its cheaper on this website.
you will love this game!! June 9, 2008

well to start off this has to be one of the best games that i have ever played (demo download at playstation store), i love all of the other battlefield games but tis just has 2 be the best so far. i loved COD4 when it came out but this just has such a better gaming experiance such as u dont just get a helicopter when u kill 7 people u can just get in 1 and kill people yourself, you can also get in tanks, humvis, boats and even sit in an artillery cano and set a artillery atack where you like. the demolition in this game is so fun as you can almost blow up anything e.g walls, trees, bridges. for me i love to snipe unlike on cod4 the maps are to small and as you know if you have the game theres not realy alot of sniping spots but on this game the maps are much bigger and there are so many sniping spots e.g you can sit on a hill and almost see most of the map witch dose get you loads of kills with a sniper unlike cod4 where you cant realy get many without getting spoted yourself dont get me wrong but cod4 is still a good game but this beats it.
