(continued from previous page) ...crack on eachother throughout the storyline.
While some may feel that it is a tad unrealistic, it only adds to the fun-factor behind the game. People who go into the game expecting to find another Call of Duty 4-esque experience will be very disappointed. Bad Company was designed with the casual gamer in mind and absolutely shines at providing that experience across the board.
Another key aspect to a FPS is how the game handles and the responsiveness of the controls. BF: BC provides a very responsive system that has solid DualShock mapping which provides a seamless transition between actions. You’ll utilize your shoulder buttons to zoom and shoot, while your shoulders will rotate between weaponry and items. Your face buttons do the usual jump, enter vehicles, and oddly, you use triangle to knife your enemy. In short, the controls never feel awkward, which is a solid thing to have when you plan on playing a game that is so geared towards online play like the Battlefield franchise has been.
Anyone who has ever played a Battlefield title online can tell you that the experience is almost unrivaled within the genre. DICE has always done a great job of providing an exciting fast-paced, action filled online experience that would entertain just about anyone. Battlefield: Bad Company continues this trend except it also cripples itself all at the same time. Fortunately the game provides an online atmosphere with great replay value, however DICE decided to release only one game mode out of the box, which is terribly disappointing.
With only Gold Rush to enjoy, BF fans are expected to make the best of it as they fight towards destroying the defending teams gold much like your generic attack and defend situation. I’ll be honest and admit that even with one mode, I found myself playing for three to four hours at a time as the thrill of the kill kept the adrenaline pumping. With EA planning a future FREE update that will implement an entirely new game mode for gamers to enjoy, you can give Bad Company a little bit of leeway until then.
Like a couple of other online shooters, Battlefield works on an experience system in order to unlock new weaponry and new items such as the syringe of health. On top of this, you can still earn badges for marksmanship and other various feats. All of these things compiled together add up to a great online experience that any gamer can enjoy taking part in.
If you’re looking for some minor downfalls from this title outside of the lack of online game modes, you’re going to find very little to actually complain about. However, while the graphics may be above average, there is a slight visual tearing that shows up from time to time. Outside of this, the audio quality is near flawless and the rest of the game plays at a very high level of quality for your dollar.
In the end, Battlefield: Bad Company is another successful outing for the boys over at DICE. Outside of its above average visuals, the game offers addictive gameplay and outstanding audio quality. Bad Company definitely rises above the ranks and falls in with some good company as this game is truly on par with its predecessors.

Battlefield Bad Company
I brought this game the day it came out[pre-ordered of course]and I love it! If Killzone II beats this and Call Of Duty 4, oh god...
no online co-op is my only complaint but, even that is no major problem to be fair.
Games a little short and the ending is bad. But its a fun game.
i love this game
This game is great. I pre-ordered it and got the first day and haven't popped in COD4 since I got it. Course then again, COD4 has pissed me off many times for a while now..
I have to agree this game is awesome and the online mode runs very similar if not better then the xbox 360 version.
yeah i love this game...the online is addicting but sometimes it seems like i'm the only one actually try to plant charges/ destroy the gold crates. can't wait for the new online mode to come out
short game and bad ending
The online is so addicting. I swear.
I really enjoyed the demo until I played it a few times then like all the other battlefield games, you get the spawn campers that just park tanks at your base killing you before you can even move. I can't believe this is a problem after so many years. I didn't want to, but I'm gonna pass on this one.
incredibly overhyped. there i nothing at all that makes this game a top FPS. just another basic FPS with its own little flavor
Didnt enjoying the game at all.
Well this might be a good choice, because COD4 is pissing me off big time... their servers just plain out SUCKKKKK.
Gr8 game, just played online mode and it' among the best shooters on ps3. Nice!!
I only wish the whole buildings would collapse, but thats just maybe? maybe someday ill get my wish...
Online experience is flawless, but a negative they consider is that there are not enough online game modes.............?
Anyways, all I know is that this game flew off the shelves in my area. It quickly gained intrigue from gamers through the demo.
I love this game! But, There are a few issues I would of liked to see corrected. 1) The 1 game mode (Not too shabby, but there should have been the other standard modes included at launch) 2, The Voice chat is horrible, Either that, or just nobody is talking.... EVER?!! (In a battlefield game shouldn't communicating be important?) Oh well, and finally 3, The sound gets hung up and can't be fixed other than restarting the game again. Unless my game is just messed up?, and the other thing I wish they had thrown in would be to be able to lie prone (I can't understand why the heck they would skip being able to drop to a prone position in a shooting game???!?). Also there are no clans or anything like that, I could not join an online game with my friends from their invite system. It never was able to connect (Though I think it was just the network at the time, not sure yet. But those are my only complaints the rest of the game is awesome and having destructable environments really adds a new twist to the genre.
Have fun all!
Awesome multiplayer. Sh1t single player mode. The end.
i wouldnt reccomd it, rent it first.. it kinda gets boring
I'm loving this game right now. I never get tired of blowing sh!t up!!!
I like the game. Singleplayer isn't bad at all. Why people ***** about it is beyond me. Multiplayer is the best, something to play besides COD.
@ scoutsniper1231 - I think the main reason for people slating the singleplayer is the AI. Its dam right awfull! In one mission you have to destroy a light tank. The only bloke in your squad with an RPG (bar you) stood 3 feet away from it looking at it and refused to move, shoot or help! That my friend is crap.
I'm still having fun with the demo at the moment and this will definitely be added to my library in the future. Nothing like being able to jump into an instantaneuos on-line fire fight, choose your kit and get stuck into it from the get-go!
anyone tell me how to get the 5 bonus weapons? I registered and got the USAS shotgun, how can i get the other 4???
Its a shame developers are still not allowing control customization in this day & age.
And what about multi-player? Should a review not state how that is set up? I mean, auto match finding sucks. It sucked with COD4 & this will be no different.
