Better than Call of Duty August 20, 2010
Mr. Ciaran M. Gallagher (Northern Ireland)
Better graphics, destructible environments, more explosive weapons and a huge array of vehicles make for a campaign and multiplayer arguably better than Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Bad Company's multiplayer mode is very similar to Call of Duty's in many respects. However, Bad Company's multiplayer maps are much bigger and much more fun to play on. Big enough that it's actually worth playing as a sniper on.
I haven't played much of the campaign as of writing but so far I'm very impressed. It's still almost as linear as the COD: Modern Warfare 2 campaign mode but arguably more fun. It didn't have the intensity that the beginning of COD: MW2's campaign had. But for me, I felt the fact that it was a little more chilled out suited me. Multiplayer can be intense too, but the option to snipe from a distance opens
Amazing game August 13, 2010
Chris Hogg
This game is really amazing although it does have some problems that don't add up to the quality of call of duty and amazon was the best price I could find for this game
multiplayer review August 3, 2010
MagyarMatt (UK)
I haven't really done much with the singleplayer mode so will focus on the multiplayer side of this game. I've played a lot of COD and was hearing good things about BC2 so decided to give it a go.
Firstly it's vastly different from COD in so many ways. Where as COD features a lot of CQB this is not so much the case in BC2 due to the large map size. In COD it is relatively easy to 'learn' the maps and to roughly predict where people will be especially in certain game modes. In BC2 it is not so easy. In fact knowing where people are in BC2 relies a lot on team work as you 'spot' the enemy for each other as opposed to getting a UAV to do it all for you. Teamwork is a strong theme in this game which is one of it's great strengths but also it's great weakness. In COD you have a lot of diversity for your classes meaning you do not have to necessarily rely on anyone else. In BC2 the classes are alot more limited and you really do. For example want to snipe on BC2? Fine but you are going to struggle for more ammo unless someone happens to be using the assault class and is kind enough to give you some, fine if you are playing with friends, but in the trash talking world of Xbox-live it can be difficult to find cooperative team-mates if you are alone.
In fact BC2 limits you to 4 classes, Assault with assault rifle, grenade launcher and ammo boxes to give out. Engineer, sub machine gun silenced, with rocket launcher or mines, and the ability to repair tanks etc. Medic with LMG and health packs as well as the ability to revive recently killed team mates, and recon, sniper rifle, with motion sensor mines and C4/ motar strikes. There are a few variations for each class but the core attributes are largely the same. Whilst these restrictions do balence things quite nicely I find it a bit too restrictive especially when you don't have anyone prepared to back you up as mentioned earlier.
The guns themselves seem to handle alot more realistically than those in COD, you get a lot more kickback and it can be difficult to keep your aim on a target, which can be frustrating in core mode given the number of bullets you seem to need to hit someone with, they also don't look quite as polished graphically as those in COD. There are unlocks which give you steadier aiming and increased bullet damage but you have to play for ages to get them and where as in COD say stopping power would apply to any class you set up in BC2 you unlock stuff class by class. i.e extra bullet damage has to be unlocked seperately for each of the 4 classes, in other words it takes ages to level up the playing field in BC2 and therefore does not make the game as accessible as COD.
I'm also finding general movement a little awkward in BC2. In COD everthing moves smoothly and well, but in BC2 I just can't seem to pinpoint a sensitivity that I am happy with and sometimes movement can seem a little unresponsive, climbing through windows is also fiddly to say the least although if your class permits you can simply blow a hole in the wall instead!! Sniping is another case in point. In COD you hold your breath and can fine tune your aim, in BC2 it's the same movement speed which can make it difficult to hit a moving target, however the factor of bullet drop over greater range makes for nice realism.
The destructable environment is a reaaly big plus in this game and gives a stunning sense of realism and I also like the way the sound is different if you fire from an enclosed space, and your aim will also be effected by nearby explosions, great attention to detail!
Game modes are severly limited in BC2, there is essentially just Team death match, Conquest (like COD's domination) and Rush (kind of like sabotage). The problem with the BC2 game modes come when you are alone and you have only your base to spawn in because invariably you will get someone on the other team spawn killing. In fact I find the whole spawn system the most frustrating aspect of this game. You can be attacking a base and see one person and all of a sudden there will be another 3 appear next to him just as you run out of ammo. Spawn killing is as already mentioned a problem that crops up and really ruins the game for me, this is particularly a problem in hardcore mode where you can't see where they are (no 'killcam') and you cannot spot them for everyone, you have to rely (and here's the problem) on vocal communication.
More problems abound when it comes to setting up a private match with friends in that you must have a minimum of 8 people, this also prevents you from exploring the new maps alone to get a feel for them (something I liked to do on COD) and from also practising controlling the tanks & helicopters the latter would be handy because they are difficult to get used to flying.
One last nice feature to mention is the stats, detailed for each weapon, just about everything you use and the best of all dogtags!! Kill someone with your knife and you take their dogtags all of which is stored on your stats so you can see a nice list of all those who you have humiliated! A great touch to the game!!
So in summary if you are a causal, occasional gamer and mostly play alone you are probably going to get on better with COD as it's easier to master and much more accesible, if you are a hardcore gaming fanatic who likes a challenge and who is always on-line with your friends then you are going to get so much more from BC2.
 Battlefield is the game of the year... make that ever!!! July 28, 2010
Bobertron
I have always been a cod player and I was frustrated by it all the time. I persisted with it however because I didn't think there was another decent FPS... I couldn't have been more wrong someone recommended to me and I was very sceptical however Amazon offered a great deal so I went for it.
The Single player is alright but nothing to shout about however the online is simply perfection the community is nice unlike cod where 10 year old children just boost (cheat) and insult each other. People work together to complete goals and dont just try to help themselves. The game adds a lot more realism then cod too.
The Game is fantastic and I cant be bothered to list all the great things because I want to play it now! But if cod frustrates you and you need a change, make the bold decision and BUY THIS GAME!!!
