See moreBattlefield: Bad Company is a first person shooter (FPS)/action game developed by EA Digital Illusions CE and released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
Part of the Battlefield game franchise, Bad Company adds some new features including the Frostbite engine, dynamic lighting and a single player storyline. The new game engine gives the game fully destructible environments.
The game is set in a fictitious war between the US and the Russian Federation. Players take command of a 4-man squad of soldiers that have gone AWOL. These soldiers can be of the Assault, Demolition, Recon, Specialist, or Support class. There are also numerous vehicles that the player will encounter and can control during the game. These vehicles include tanks, armored cars, patrol boats and helicopters. Unlike the rest of the series, however, Bad Company does not include fixed wing aircraft.
Bad Company’s single player campaign takes the player through 7 different missions. Although not vital to these missions, the player can look for and collect gold bars and unique weapons. With a multiplayer mode, the player can play with up to 23 others in games like Gold Rush and Conquest.
The game has 25 ranks that the player can achieve the more he plays. Ranks are based on the US Army’s, with the highest being the General of the Army. With each rank up, the player may get credits with which he can unlock additional weapons.
In online play, Bad Company features three kinds of awards: trophies, patches and wildcards. Trophies, which the players can get multiple times during a game, are awarded for multiple kills in a specific class and other achievements. Patches are awarded only once and are given when players obtain specific trophies and accomplishing other requirements. Lastly, Wildcards are the most difficult award to get and are obtained by achieving many different combinations of criteria.
See lessBattlefield: Bad Company is by no means perfect. Having said that, it is still one of the most enjoyable and entertaining shooters of the year. The single player is a short but enjoyable campaign with fairly likable characters, and the online mode is incredibly addictive. This sandbox shooter is a bit of harmless, destructive fun, and is certainly worth your money. If you aren’t prepared to shell out the full price for this game, it makes for one hell of a good rental. Read more
Battlefield has promise, but hasn't delivered on that yet. The lack of modes in multiplayer is ridiculous, and I'm not sure I'd really give the game a 'must buy' recommendation until there's some variety there. Adding in Conquest will help that out, whenever that arrives, but you'll have to be the judge as to whether or not only two online modes are enough for you. Read more
Battlefield has always been a multiplayer focused series, though obviously with the freshest entry, Battlefield: Bad Company, effort has been spent on both the single and multiplayer components. But at least in regards to the campaign mode, it seems DICE’s old habits die hard. Read more
T he bar for war based first person shooters went up a notch last year with the release of Call of Duty 4. Online or offline the game offered so much excitement and an ultimate realistic experience. So how does Battlefield: Bad Company, one of the few worthy FPS coming out this summer, build up on its rival’s success? First the developers, Digital Illusions CE (DICE), added a story mode to a series that normally lacked that simple element. They also made sure the... Read more
The first Battlefield games, as developed by DICE, were pretty much multiplayer affairs, very well suited for matches which employed well rehearsed team tactics. After Battlefield 2142 was launched, DICE quietly began working on Battlefield: Bad Company, only giving away the fact that their next project was likely t... Read more
Fun: Although I wouldn't recommend going with the Gold version, I would recommend the game. The single player campaign isn't terribly difficult but it is quite fun. Funny storyline, good acting and the ability to blow everything us is a hoot. I liked the varied weapons and vechicles. The AI leaves a little to be desired, they all seem like crack shots once you've been spotted. Multiplayer is pretty good, lots of things to unlock and lots of achievements to get. Lots of...

I bought this game as an afterthought while purchasing something else. I had just gotten tired of GOW, COD4, and R6LV2. Bad Company was a refreshing shooter, even though I would have preferred more control in setting up the controller though. BBC did keep me occupied for several days. I love the 50 cal sniper rifles and the knife attacks! This game may not be the caliber of GOW, COD4, or R6LV2, but it was enjoyable and the storyline was entertaining, plus it has great... Read more
Battlefield: Bad Company, is just simply an awesome game. It is a First Person Shooter which involves mainly blowing things up and shooting the hell out of anything. One main factor which puts this game into a new league is the fact that explosives literally tear gaping holes in walls, creating a new entrance to which you can walk through, compromising that pesky sniper which took secret potshots at you from a secluded window. The Single-Player mode combines a good... Read more
From here on I can finally write about the multiplayer in games. I finally got Xbox live. That should help with my reviews. Now here it is but I will never give a game a 5/5 star rating unless it could truly wow me. Now I should get along with the review. Now I would like to speak on the weapons here. They are incredibly well designed.I would love to meet the artist who drew them. Anyhow, There is a great amount of guns in the game. But you have to find some of them.... Read more
This game has everything! From destroyable cover to enormous explosions. The gunshots even echo inside of houses. But thats not the best part there are tanks, jeeps, helicopters, airstrikes and much more that are under your control. Read more
