COD fan?? Beware...... March 12, 2010 J. R. Atkin (St Annes, UK) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Bad Company 2 will be compared to MW2 over and over again, and I'm doing the same here.
In basic terms, if you're a big fan of the recent COD games (4, 5 & 6) you will probably feel a bit lost with Bad Company 2.
The campaign is OK with plenty of action and variation, and the sound is excellent, but the graphics aren't really up to scratch. Screen tear occurrs often and the general playability feels a bit slow and clumsy compared to COD.
Most people will be buying this game for the multiplayer though, and it is here that I hoped I would find something new now that I've become familiar with MW2's offerings.
The Frostbite engine that allows destruction of almost anything is impressive, but don't spend too long marvelling at how you just blew a hole in a wall to make a sharp exit from oncoming fire, or to create a sneaky new route towards your enemy, because all of a sudden you'll be dead.
And it's the way in which you can find yourself suddenly dead with no warning whatsoever and no idea of how it happened that I find frustrating here. There are no kill cams, the on-screen radar is confusing, the maps are huuuuuge, and it is apparant that almost any weapon can kill from 25 miles away.
And the distance is another matter - when you die you can choose to respawn either with a team mate or in a random/pre-selected place on the map, but if your team is small/dead and you can't pair up with someone you have to take a spawn location MILES from the action that you just left. So you spend approx 1 minute or more slogging back to where the war's at, then repeat the next time you die. This is so tiresome it hurts.
Then there's the length of the matches - they go on for ages! There doesn't appear to be a time limit, and scores take a long time to rack up, so you can find one match going on for 20-25 mins plus. During this marathon of being randomly killed, legging it backwards and forwards and dealing with the sluggish controls, there's little concept of who's on who's side, who's winning or when the game is likely to end. Suddenly it just ends, with no fanfare or applause, it just stops.
Generally this feels much more like a game suited to PC than consoles. Geeky types will love the supposed greater realism, but as a gaming experience it leaves me cold. MW2 does everything so well - the visuals are spot on, the gameplay is tight, it's fast, it's addictive, it's exciting. OK so Ground War on a small map is chaotic, but you can get a slower paced tactical game with Hardcore Search & Destroy or similar. If only MW2 had something like the destructive environments in Bad Company 2 it would be a complete game.
Bad Company 2 whilst getting the destruction right, for me gets everything else wrong.
BF March 12, 2010 Liam Carroll (Guernsey) This game is amazing. It makes up for how bad MW2 was. This game has a variety of guns including ww2 guns and vehicle upgrades. The single player isnt amazing but its good enough, but the online is very good with fully destructable buildings. The only bad poitns about the game are being spawned killed alot which they can prob update and on hardcore 95% of people snipe it gets extreamley annoying, and i dont like playing normal on games because its too unrealistic having to empty 5 rounds in som1 jus 2 get them on low % health, i would definatly reccomend this game
The best FPS on Xbox 360? March 12, 2010 Stanislavski (West Mids, UK) Firstly, let me say, that I am a huge COD fan! However, some time ago, a friend introduced me to Battlefield 2 on the pc. It blew my mind.
I actually bought a pc, just to get the game!! It is still to this day, the best gaming experience I have EVER had.
To me, varied gameplay is vital and Battlefield 2 Bad Company, almost has it all. COD (online) really does get a tad monotonous.
Bad Company 2 is the closest yet, to Battlefield 2 on the pc. You don't HAVE to run around like a headless chicken on Bad Company. It can
be as tactical or mindless, as you want it to be.
My only minor criticism, would be, that the maps on Bat 2 for the pc, were far more expansive (often, it took a while just to get to a flag, even in a helicopter)
This added realism to the game. Also, it would be good if the game had F15s.
All in all, in my opinion the best FPS on the 360.
1 word WOW March 11, 2010 XBL F1 POWER This game dropped through my letterbox today and im struggling to put it down. im keeping this short. if i had to give an honest answer of this game i would say its the best game i have played in 10years. i like every1 else downloaded the demo.. but i didnt like it. so i was in two minds to get this but im really glad i did. its 5million times better than the demo, graphics are jaw dropping on and offline. i had a quick go on SP first and i love it the characters are still as funny as ever. after a few hours i tried MP and thats where this game comes alive. usually playing games i would stop to read my messages off friends, but not with this game i have just been well into this its unreal. well i could go on forever about how good this game is but i dont want to bore you. i just wanted to make this point. ifyour in doubts of this game. DONT BE!!! its amazing and will leave your jaw trailing on the floor for hours. i have bioshock2 on the way but i doubt it will get played anytime soon.
this game is a 10/10 MUST BUY
Better than Modern Warfare 2? March 11, 2010 P. Thompson (Clanfield, UK) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have only really played this game online so far. The maps are expansive with massive detail. Plenty of scope (if you excuse the pun) for sniping. The game modes are exciting and varied. The sound is amazing with a real sense of being in the open air. The graphics are awesome especially when you lay down fire: dust is kicked up, fences shatter, etc. The destruction engine 2.00 is really impressive (houses now collapse).
This game is vastly superior to Modern Warfare 2. There are no silly heartbeat sensors, no running / jumping lunatics, no perks, no nukes, just good old-fashioned shooting skills required.
