    Strictly a PC Version Review: This game looks good, and plays good.. WHEN you can play it. EA launched it with a ton of bugs and Multiplayer is almost impossible right now! It does take a beast of a machine to run on higher settings as it has been very poorly optimized and does feel a bit like a console port.

It does take a beast of a machine to run on higher settings as it has been very poorly optimized and does feel a bit like a console port. If you can run the game, it looks great, if not.. it has been reported to be very sluggish and painful. The worst part of the PC Experience has been the poor release that EA has allowed. There are currently numerous disconnect and punkbuster issues, once those are cleared up the game seems like it will be pretty good. Right now, its way to difficult to connect to waste your cash on it. Give it a week or so and let DICE fix their bugs. It seems like they really stuck it to the pre-orders.… Expand

    If you want the best example of a console port, here it is. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was the game that made me give up on my days of PC gaming.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 was the game that made me give up on my days of PC gaming. To start, if you don't have a computer that is prepared to handle top-notch graphics, you might as well look for another FPS. For a computer that runs Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 smoothly on the highest settings, you would think I'd be able to do the same with a game that came out only months after. Apparently not. It is an outrage that the average person that has an average computer cannot enjoy this game. Moving on, the campaign was decent, but was short and made about as much sense as the sequel to the movie Transformers. Multiplayer is not even close to what the experience is like on the consoles, and the poor quality of the servers often overshadow any gameplay enjoyment. DICE even admitted that they had somehow confused the terms "latency" and "ping," and did not fix this for a while. I've been inexplicably been disconnected from servers almost as many times as I've had to wait more than 5 minutes to connect to them. In short, unless you are a diehard, Battlefield fan, that must play on the PC, and has spent hundreds of dollars in upgrading your computer, then I would not recommend this game.… Expand

    As with many of the previous titles this one falls prey to the same problem:
    great game - too many hackers...

    Until they find (or willing to find) a solution to this problem, it too frustrating to waste your time and money on.

    The gameplay is the same crap as it's always been, just run and shoot some people, take cover, reload, shoot, next level. Repeat. And I mean like fine, it's not easy to come up with revolutionary gameplay, so at least make a good story and characters. Nope, the story is crap and none of the characters are memorable. The missions are boring, and when I played half of the game I thought 'when will this crap end?'.

    I will praise the game mechanics to a degree, as I like the movement of the main character that you play and that he's not on steroids like in every COD game, and the guns are somewhat fun to shoot. Graphics were pretty good for that time. And these are the only reasons I'm giving this game a few extra points and it lands on a 4/10. Just another Run-And-Gun no brain game.    … Expand

    Not as good as I expected... I was very excited about this game and waited for it to come out but when I bought it, it just simply wasn't fun. I guess all the variety of weapons and vehicles was just too compicated for me since im a counter strike fan. Also the single player was disappointing too because I guess I played it right after COD:MW2, it seem even less fun.

Even vehicles don't work as when you try to run over your enemies they just pass straight through your jeep.

    The Frostbite 2.0 engine was either poorly implemented or it is a piece of **** The graphical art style was painful to look at with blinding HDR and over contrasting until grass looks like green goo poured over asphalt. The audio engine is broken as surround sound did not work and the game offers absolutely NO options in regards to audio settings, except for a **** sound equaliser which I don't need.

    My point of advice? Avoid this game like the plague along with Modern Warfare 2 and the new Medal of Honor. They are all pieces of **** and a burden on society. If you want to find a real shooter try ARMA 2, even though it is poorly optimised it is an amazing game and is less than half the price of all of these **** overpriced 'blockbuster' games.

You can also destroy targets in rush from areas you cannot be seen or found (usually called glitching) but this game seems designed for it.

    The maps are all bottlenecks because obviously the new engine couldn't handle the BF2 sized maps so in most instances you will find that flanking isn't even possible & everyone ends up in a big spam shootout oh & 64 player has been reduced to 32

    Bad Company 2 was the next game on PC after Battlefield 2, make no mistake this is a console port & a lousy one at that, the series would not reach the quality of Battlefield 2 again until Battlefield 4

    so by adding shinny new graphics & destructive enviroments DICE has sacrificed about 20 different gameplay features that made the franchise what it was up to this point

I have a machine that runs this like a dream, and it DOESN't cost that much to build a machien to run it well despite other reviews I'd read, but ultimately the feeling of firing 22 rounds against people all in bfull body armor just takes away from any remotely realistic feeling.....this has more in common with HALO, or team fortress, cosole games may like it.....but the fact it has gotten so many good reviews, has me questioning if anyone in teh industry have ever fired a weapon, gone hunting, much less ever been in the military.

    A poor 1 - just for the destroyable environment. Lacking gameplay.

    The new single-player mode isn’t that interesting, but the multi-player part is fantastic. With new destructable environments and new game modes Bad Company 2 is the best Battlefield game so far.

    Do you like first-person shooters? If the answer is yes, buy Battlefield: Bad Company 2. If there's a weakness it lies in the slightly brief single-player campaign, but the brilliant, potentially Modern Warfare 2 beating multiplayer more than picks up the slack.

    Though it occasionally stumbles, there's one thing that Bad Company 2 clearly demonstrates: DICE has graduated from the, "can only do a multiplayer FPS" class, and is perfectly capable of making a great all-around game.
