Battlefield Bad Company 2

I never was a big fan of military shooting games. I could stomach playing Counter-strike but for some reason other military games just didn't settle well with me. Until I played this.

Bad Company 2 is published and developed by EA and you can buy it for the Xbox 360 ($60), PS3 ($60). or PC ($45). We got ours for the PC. You can also buy it off of Steam for the PC ($50). It is a first person shooter game.

In singleplayer, you start off as a soldier in the past going to rendezvous with a mole/spy in the enemy camp.  Anyways, let's just say things don't go quite according to plan. It is here where the game designers decided to stick their tutorial on how to shoot/crouch/zoom/etc. Also, they made the very beginning kind of like a cinematic opening where the credits play during your lovely boat ride.

I think that is kind of cool because not too many people really notice who took the time to work on a video game. Kind of like how audiences didn't pay attention to the "little people" who have really important roles in movies.

The campaign mode has an interesting story that revolves around a military squad that call themselves "Bad Company". The characters are enjoyable and the storyline isn't too boring.

Plus the graphics are kinda pretty! Here are some screenshots:

The solo campaign mode basically prepares you for the best part about Bad Company 2: the multiplayer experience.


When you log into Bad Company 2, you can enjoy killing people using a whole array of weapons: grenade launchers, shot guns, revolvers, machine guns, and (my favorite) knives. There are three modes you can join: conquest, rush, and deathmatch . 
 

They are all pretty neat modes to play in. I think my favorite is blowing up the m-com stations. You get some really good "oh shi-" moments in multi-player.

 Also you get to do a lot of cool things like: fly helicopters, drive tanks, drive hummers across the desert, fly UAV's. There is no shortage of ways to blow stuff up in this game.

One of the few things I look for in a game is if the water looks pretty. Hmm, what do you think??


Anyways, this game is pretty solid. You can find a lot of videos online on gameplay. I'd rather you didn't suffer through my horrible playing and hearing me shriek madly into the microphone.

 The only complaint I have? It doesn't have lan multiplayer. Wah wah. So you HAVE to play on a server in order to do the multiplayer.

Good game! Great times! Fun way to kill people. I'd say overall this game is a good buy.
