Product Description
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 redefines the modern FPS. It has an engaging single-player campaign, but the online experience is where it really shines. Some warfare simulation games focus only on gunplay. Bad Company 2, on the other hand, doens't limit your tactics. Use vehicles, different kits, different classes, teamwork, strategy, and different weapons in a fully-destructible environment to lead your team to victory!

Following the continuing combat adventures of misfits of the US Army's Company "B," Bad Company 2 features the characteristic humor and grit of the Bad Company series, as well as a variety of gameplay improvements and additions, including 2-24 player online support; all-new four man squad gameplay; and more. Story and Gameplay
Like the original Battlefield: Bad Company game, Bad Company 2 is a first-person shooter following the exploits of Company "B" of the US Army's 222nd Battalion. In this new adventure, the more mature yet still infamous company of misfits are tasked with interceding in a series of conflicts that have the potential to ignite of a new World War.

New squad-based play options.
View larger. | As the action begins players have their pick of four distinct character classes, and weapons, gadgets and specializations. Within these, players have over 15,000 kit variations to discover, and will be able to fine-tune their preferred fighting style to give them the edge in combat that they will need to survive and prevail. In addition, new vehicles like the all terrain vehicle (ATV) and the UH-60 transport helicopter allow for new tactics, which players are free to choose from. As players fight through mission play they will level up their playable character through the ranks as they accumulate experience points in combat for enemies eliminated and objectives completed. Excellence in the battlefield is rewarded with an extensive range of pins, insignias and stars to unlock along with 50 dedicated ranks to achieve. Battlefield 2 also features a major multiplayer component. Along with standard 24-player online multiplayer options across eight maps, players can also compete in 4-player teams in 2 exclusive squad-only game modes, fighting together to unlock exclusive team awards and achievements. During these online battles players can spawn on your squad to get straight into the action, and use gadgets such as the tracer dart in-conjunction with the RPG to devastating effect. Taken together these features make for one of the most realistic ground/vehicle combat experiences ever. The New Frostbite Engine
Tactical destruction in Bad Company 2 is taken to new heights with the updated DICE 'Frostbite' engine. Unlike in the first game in the series, which featured considerable, but limited destructible game environments, in Battlefield Bad Company 2 players can now take down entire buildings or create their own vantage points by blasting holes through cover, thereby delivering a unique dynamic experience in every match. Key Features - 8 huge multiplayer maps. Each with a different tactical and gameplay focus and set across a variety of environments.

 Great Game! March 2, 2010

As I am a huge fan of BFBC1, COD4MW and CODMW2, I will not make direct comparisons. They are all great in their own way. I will say that this game is a bigger improvement from BC1, than MW2 is from MW1...if that means anything to you.
The graphics are a less "cartoon-ish", for lack of a better word.
The controls are better IMO, but you change them back to BC1 if you'd like.
There are more upgrades/attachments available, along with a unique way to mix and match them to your liking.
Something I like a lot is the effect gravity has on snipers firing over long distances. It's the first game (that I know of) where the mil dots in the scope are needed to snipe. You will also have to lead your target, just like in BC1.
Huge maps, like BC1
Destructable buildings, tree, etc., like BC1.
Firing rifles in full auto is more realistic. In BC1 there wasn't much climb or wander when firing in full auto.
I would recommend it to any one looking for the closest simulation of warfare in a video game. It incorporates squad teamwork, vehicles, armor, airstrikes and much more. This creates an environment where the run-and-gun Rambo types, just get owned...I love it!

What sets this game far apart from others are the sounds and the sound quality. The selection of weapons and vehicles is unheard of in this game. Unlockable weapons and gadgets to help you out in the long run when you get tired of the same ole stuff. I played one game just to test everything and when a rocket is blazing past you you can hear it take its cycle from shooting towards you to hitting you or going past you if your lucky. My fav one is when they blaze past you and blow a chunk out of a building causing massive shrapnel and debris to fly everywhere. You also get the wonderful sounds of bullets hitting metal and wood as they are fired a suspecting enemies gun. The maps are unreal and so fun to play. This is where Call of Duty falls short, VEHICLES!!!!! How can Activision go so low as to take out Vehicles in a War game? I must mention also the fact that unlike Call of Duty you have a dedicated server for all your online needs. The single player campaign really blew me away. The first mission was all i have played and im hooked. The distant WWII sirens going off and the humor and action are what sets the single player game apart. You dont need a motion sensor on your gun or a care package delivered to have fun. From snowy mountain areas to industrial plants you have it all in one game. Congrats EA and DICE. Job well done

First off, if you didn't like the first Battlefield : Bad Company, it's worth your time to check this one out. They've done their homework. It's immensely more enjoyable. Now I'll just make a very generic attempt at comparing BC2 to MW2.
Map detail/Variety: BC2 - BC2's maps are so varied, and unique. All the game types have different maps. Fantastic! Most things are destructible, you can even bring down entire buildings now.
Visuals: TIE (BC2's visuals have a grainier look and it runs at 30fps vs MW2's 60fps, but it's still an incredibly rendered game and seems warranted given the amount of stuff going in the BC2 world. It also looks like what's being displayed is not quite 720p (I'm guessing though).
Physics/Mechanics : Toss up. I think they've improved the way BC2 handles. I like that you can run indefinitely, but the lack of a true prone position is missed. I understand why both choices were made. The realism of the hit detection is nice. Bullets have travel time and you have to account for arch in bullet travel on really long sniping. (Cool). Both games have a solid "feel". BC2 is a bit more subdued, where as MW2 is fast twitch, head-on-swivel type action.
Gameplay: BC2 (Just seems a lot more fresh after 2 solid years of Modern Warfare play)
Weapons: TIE (I feel a lot more compelled to unlock stuff in BC2 then to obtain 250 headshots for some rainbow camo on my weapon in MW2. A weapon unlock should be satisfying in the end, not tedious.
Multiplayer Experience: TIE (Both games offer a variety of game types that is sure to please everyone)
I really like what they've done with BC2.
A- campaign, A+ multiplayer - what a blast! March 19, 2010

I've read some complaints that the singleplayer mode is short? What???? It's long, deep, and very challenging. A- because I think it feels like it spends a little too much time showing off riding its vehicles and sniping feels a little too easy where it's the complete oppisite in multiplayer. I know the vehicle part is a BF thing - but, it really feels "showy" in the campaign. My only major complaint. Well, I wish you could hold more weapons, too. Like MGS4. In Bad Company 1 you could carry only one main weapon - now you can carry two with a few side specialties.
I also wish they kept the smiley faces on their grenades! Very unique and funny.
HUGE graphical and detail improvement from BC 1! Crazy AI - pretty intelligent, actually.
Cut scene dialogue-lip-syncing is not superb. Though, I think this is one of the hardest things for a designer/developer to do. Even with the newly "Heavy Rain" title it isn't strong.
Miss the enormous gut cutting-sounding anti-aircraft gun in BC 1 - seriously the most loudest and powerful weapon I've ever heard in a game before. You'll know what I'm talking about if you've played the 1st. but the AA guns in BC 2 are still sweet.
Multiplayer: holy cow - challenging and hella-fun! Very talented folks out there. TONS of weapon upgrades, medals and awards you can get w/ incredible sand-box, diverse, beautiful maps to play on!
Multi cons: occasional pop-ins, text squad communication'd be helpful (ex.: press button to yell out: "enemy over here!" "I need a medic NOW!" "prepare to flank" "I'm low on ammo!" "sniper 10-o-clock", etc.), audio pops and random, very brief audio drops. BC 1 multiplayer is RIDDLED with audio cut outs, static, pops, etc.
Out of over 20 hrs on online play (not at once, LOL) my connection, or the server, cut out only once which is superb. But, I lost my medals during that game which was frustrating. EA is working on server improvement. Having a good ISP is helpfull, too. (*cough* *cough* ((not ATT))).
The first game I bought at it's full release price at $59.99 and it was totally worth it! BUY IT.
This Game Deserves Five Stars... April 1, 2010

Let me start off by saying most of time I don't purchase PS3 games until the price drops significantly. Even then, I tend to be picky (reading through reviews, product details etc).
Last year, I purchased the first Bad Company. It had been out quite a while and only cost about 18.00, and it turned out to be an absolute blast.
Upon finding out Bad Company 2 was coming out it was one of those times when there was no way I could sit around and wait for the price to drop, and it was worth every penny.
To be clear, my PlayStation isn't connected to the internet (never has been), so it was going to be single player mode all the way.
As for the graphics, they seemed great to me, so I can't understand some of the complaints from other people.
Besides, great graphics don't equal a great game, and the bottom line is this game was like the first- a blast to play, and I was very pleased with the job the game makers did with the graphics.
The writing and voice acting was wonderful and once again infused with a lot of humor.
The music and sound effects were terrific, and I felt the plot line was well thought out.
Also, I found no problems with audio lag (as one other reviewer mentioned), nor did I notice any problems with the controls; they were nice and smooth; no complaints here.
One very significant point is the entire game ran beautifully with no bugs or glitches.
It was very clear to me the people who worked on this game put a lot of thought and care into it, and although there were some differences to the first Bad Company (such as not being able to drive any vehicle sitting around) the shear pace and fun of the game offset any differences.
The only complaint I have about the game is it was rather short. It was so good and so much fun I didn't want it to end. So, once the game was over, I did something I rarely do and played the game again right away and probably will again soon. For me, it's like an awesome ride at an amusement park I want to get on again.
So, despite the game being on the short side for Miss "penny pincher" here it was well worth the price, and I would highly recommend this game to anyone who likes this genre.
