Let me start off like this: OH MY GOODNESS. I can not WAIT for this game. Yes, I preordered it. The only Battlefield that I ever had the privilege of playing was Battlefield 2, but I heard some hype about Bad Company 2 , so I thought, “What the heck. I’ll Google it.”
Turns out, that was a very good idea. Some of the features in this First-Person Shooter are hard to express in words. And I’m not exaggerating.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2:
EA Games. First-Person Shooter. RD: January 26th, 2010. ESRB Rating: M.
Anyways, in case you don’t know about the Battlefield series of games, they are shooters based on large team warfare. Hence the name “Battlefield.” The maps are massive compared to a game like Modern Warfare 2. But they force a player to rely more on their team and less on themself. For example, in Halo, or Call of Duty, you are a lone soldier. However, in Battlefield games, every player is a key component in their team, making each game a tactical battle. One of the major reasons for this is the class system.
There are 4 classes, and I’ll run through them real quick:
Medic: Heal and revive your teammates.
Assault: Basically a soldier-type class.
Recon: Essentially your sniper class.
Engineer: Repair vehicles.
Speaking of vehicles… Bad Company 2 is packing in 15 vehicles for land, sea, and air. Tanks, ATVs, Helicopters, name it. This was a big factor for me, although not the biggest. I love having diversity in games. When EVERYONE races to get to the tank, well, it becomes less of a free-for-all and more of a juggernaut. But each and every vehicles has it’s own advantages and disadvantages. Tanks are not overpowered, nor are helicopters.
The biggest thing the WOWed me while looking into this game (Yes, I just said wowed, please don’t disassociate me from everything ever…) is the destructible environment. In short, if a wall is in your way, pshhh, just blow it up! My favorite was seeing C4s planted in a building and having the 4 enemies charge in, while the soldier simply detonated the charges from a save distance. The building collapsed. Yes, it fell down, boom, shackalacka, the building died (See? It was worth saying “wowed.”). So, basically, there are no more super-walls. Walls, and buildings, can be destroyed just like in reality.
Needless to say, BFBC2 is built for multiplayer. However, they do feature a single-player campaign that, from what I’ve seen and read, features the same hilarious and very unique characters as the first Bad Company.
Overall, I am VERY excited for BFBC2. It has been TOO LONG since I played a good PC FPS(Hence the Combat Arms review…).
