Gametrailers BF Bad Company Review



Ive been enoying this game lately so I thought I would post the GT review. Its probably the best Battlefield game since 1942, although its not as big or as epic as the newer Battlefield games, it certainly plays, looks, and sounds a hell of a lot better. I loved Mercenaries 2, but playing this right after it really doesnt make that game look great, as the production values here are so much higher in terms of graphics and sound - the Frostbite engine looks and runs fantastic on the 360 and everything you see can be blown up. The only competition for this game in the Military FPS genre right now is Call of Duty 4. Which game you prefer is largely a matter of taste, although I think both are great, CoD4 is the faster, more action oriented game, and the single player is certainly more intense than Bad Company's, which is actually quite good in its own right. But Battlefield has and always will be about strategy as well as action, and Bad Company really delivers on that front with a great squad system and a huge variety of vehicle and kit types. Throw in massive environmental destructibility, an addicting rewards and unlocks system, and dedicated 24 person servers, all with the ease of Xbox Live, and you have the dream come true first person shooter for military buffs.
