BattleField Bad Company, or is it Good Company

Welcome to my review of Battlefield Bad company 2

This review will include a lot of detail about the single player and the multiplayer

BattleField Bad company's Single player is a huge improvement on the previous BFBC (When i refer to BFBC i mean BattleField Bad Company).

BFBC 2 Single Player has a more serious approach to the previous one, This one actually makes you feel like the Characters. Granted, it is still a silly game, but there is more of a story line.

There is still some humour, like this quote "No we dont call for support, they will just send in some spec ops pussys with heartbeat sensors on their gun" Which if you do not know, is a huge reference to Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, In two ways, the Spec Ops and HearBeat Sensors. This is funny as both BFBC 2 and CoD:MW2 are fighting for the chance to be know as the best modern war game.

The Single player also has taken the Modern Warfare route, It has gone for the Big Explosions and Set pieces, rather than a serious and concentrated Game.

The wide Variety of weapons is also great. You can change so often by picking up enemy weapons, and also when you come to supply crates you can change your weapons. My favourite setup is Sniper and a Sub Machine Gun, its useful to quickly get the enemies from a distance, and quickly move up, and the sub machine gun is useful for close range

Rush

Players must defend or destroy pairs of M-COM stations for as long as the attacking team's respawn tickets hold out. An M-COM station can be destroyed by planting a charge, using conventional weapons or when a building is collapsed down on it.

Conquest

Players must capture and hold flags for as long as the enemy respawn tickets hold out. Every kill makes the enemy lose one ticket, and enemy tickets constantly decrease when a team controls more than half of the flags on the map. Vehicles unlock as control points are held.

Squad Deathmatch

Up to four squads and one Infantry Fighting Vehicle roam the map. First squad to score fifty kills get the win.

Squad Rush

Squad Rush puts a squad of four players versus another squad of four players for a max of eight player matches of Rush.

Again the Multiplayer is Far superior in BFBC 2 than BFBC 1, The newer version has a hugely improved class system, and a Far better Spawing system.

Firstly i will talk about the class system, As mentioned above it is Hugely Improved. The Ranking on the classes is great, the unlocking certain weapons and gadgets only by using the class they are in is a very good idea i think, As many games let you unlock the weapons, as you generally rank, but on battlefield it rewards you for being dedicated to you class. If you stick at Recon, you get awesome snipers, if you stick at engineer you get SMG'S, Etc.

Secondly the Spawn System. Its awesome, i will describe this as if you are playing Conquest. You have a choice of spawning on whatever flags you have, your teams deployment and Your Squad. Basically like MW2's Parties you can get into squads of upto 4 players, and play. So during the game, say for example your friend is making a mad dash for a flag, or need medics help, you can spawn on them and help them.

Gravity, The gravity is a huge part in this, espicially for a sniper, you have to aim just above your Enemies head in order for a headshot, otherwise your bullet dips down and doesnt hit them in the head.

Hit Detection, The hit detection on this version is a lot better than the first one. On BFBC 1 at range it was unbelievably hard to hit enemies, but now the hit detection is far better, if you would hit them, it tells you that you would.

Vehicles, Vehicles are awesome, the helicopters are great, quite easy to drive, and powerful. Tanks are Powerful, but easily destroyed. The quadbike and sea vehicles are great for getting somewhere fast, but terrible at anything else.
