    Compared to the third game, I found the story more successful. Another difference from the third game is that I was able to finish it.

    Hikaye oldukça basit ve çok sınırlı bir alanda kalıyor, oynanışı derinleştirmesi için tüm haritalarda gezindirmesi saçmaydı.

Oyun oldukça kolay, zor modunda bile fazlasıyla kolay. COD'un ilk iki oyunu bile bu oyunu tokatlayabilecek seviyede yapay zeka bakımından. Gelelim güzel yönüne, oynanışı oldukça keyifli. Araçlardan, tüm silahlara kadar pek çok donanımı olması güzeldi. Bundan keyif aldım; ama nerdeyse her anda RPG'li düşman ve RPG kullanmak saçmalığı vardı. Neden özellikle bunu bu kadar yaygınlaştırmışlar anlamıyorum. Tek başıma 3 helikopteri RPG'yle çölde indirdiğim yer baya baya saçmaydı. Oynanış mekanikleri ve vuruş hissiyatı çok yerli yerinde, açıkçası silah seçeneği daha fazla olan güzel bir multiplayer olsa oynamaktan keyif alırdım ve düzenli oynardım. Sinematografik olarak da baya tatmin edici diyemem; ama dokular ve evren güzeldi. Genel olarak aşırı bir sis var hep izlediğim yerlerde Frost Engine motorundan kaynaklı; ama problem edilecek bir yanı yok. Ben fazla beğenmedim.… Expand

A stereotypical squad of hoo-ah hoo-ah bros begins to unravel a decades old secret weapon the Russians are trying to utilize for no discernable reason. Half of the game you will be fighting what appears to be a south american pmc for no reason at all? Near the end you'll also begin to feel the copy-pasted layouts of the housing interiors. Despite all that, there is one aspect I would be remise for not mentioning: the environmental destruction. I fully think that this is why the game was made. Destroying soft cover to melt enemies behind it, collapsing buildings with grenade launchers, this is all very satisfying. While I did not play the multiplayer on this playthrough (I will not subject myself to hours of painstaking matchmaking with horrible internet) I do fondly remember the dozens of hours I spent playing it when I was younger. Hardly a match went by that a whole building would remain standing. Truly an irreplaceable experience that had a scale and interactivity that is hardly matched these days.… Expand

    I have no idea if multiplayer is actually good, all I can say is that plot is VERY boring, probably more boring than Brian A. Miller's films. Gameplay is semigood, weapons are amazing, but I am not sure if I'll finish the game because of how poorly it's pased and how little thought was put into making it an enjoyable experience with only parts of it being actually remarkable.

    It is not the first Battlefield game I played: I already played Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 - but it is the first Battlefield campaign I played and after completing CoD:MW trilogy not so much time ago I was really curious how the BF stands against its main rival in terms of single-player experience. To keep it short - it stands pretty well but it is not that simple. The story itself is lackluster in comparison to Modern Warfare (which is not surprising considering the scale CoD went for in the MW trilogy so there is no shame in being inferior to one of the best first-shooter campaigns ever) but in all the other aspects BC2 shines brighter: the graphics are more realistic, shot sounds are more pleasant to hear, the shooting overall just feels better - add to that vehicles you can actually get in and complete freedom to destroy anything you want (a house, a tower, a tree - you name it) and you get a decent rival for MW3 which was released around the same time.    … Expand

    Gameplay-wise shooting lots of different weapons is satisfying, but I found myself dying from nothing a LOT of times. This made everything much more frustrating especially when there's no quicksave and dying takes you a long way back each time. Also, trying to stray off the beaten path to flank enemies breaks the game. Many times I got stuck or died by going where the game didn't want me to.

    Story-wise it felt like the characters were supposed to be likable and funny, but dialogues and interactions between the soldiers looked very unnatural and awkward. It didn't help that control is taken away from you every 10 minutes for a meaningless cutscene where nothing substantial happens.    … Expand

    Uninteresting gameplay, stupid story but fun for first 3-5 hours. I ignore multiplayer. The destructable environment is great idea. I remember that in one mission I was covering myself in a house, shooting at dozens of enemies coming from hill above. After 10 minutes, there was no house.

    Time in game as of this review: 172.9 hours according to Steam.

    I'd recommend this game, but it has some major problems. 1. WAY WAY too much smoke and dust clouds. Even a short spray of bullets will cause a cloud of dust that takes awhile to disappear, even when you shot at something like a window frame, wall corner, door frame, etc. 2. The vehicles suck, for the most part. 3.    Time in game as of this review: 172.9 hours according to Steam.

    2. The vehicles suck, for the most part.

    3. No option for team deathmatch, only Squad Deathmatch. (4 teams of 4 against each other)

    4. No option for free for all deathmatch.

    5. Every Squad Deathmatch map has one tank that continues to spawn. It's annoying and wasn't a good choice of vehicle for Squad Deathmatch. Humvees or 4-wheelers would have worked better. Maybe a few boats on the maps that have water.

    6. Only sniper rifles can be equipped with a sniper scope.

    7. Heli control(s) suck, and minigun control (that the heli's are equipped with) also suck.

    8. Way too few maps for Squad Deathmatch option, and the maps for the other gametypes are often large with not enough buildings/cover/good landscape for a battle. Why not just spawn us all in an open field?

    9. Extreme lack of good urban environment maps.

    10. This is one of the worst things about the game. Accuracy is ridiculously crappy when you aren't looking through your sights/optics. You can fire at a stationary guy 20 feet away and maybe get 3-6 out of 30 of your shots to actually hit him. If you need to be looking down your sights to get more than 1/10-1/5 accuracy from 20 feet away, then you probably shouldn't be anywhere near a battlefield. In real life if I was shooting from that distance, every one of the those shots would have met their target. Seeming as how most of the assault rifles used by assault class are chambered in 5.56mm, they should by little to no issue with recoil. The game's designers, however, thought that it best to give rifles chambered in 5.56mm the accuracy and recoil of an automatic shotgun being fired by a small child with Muscular Dystrophy.

I prefer the older single-player modes in the Battlefield series where you can practice your skills on various maps and play with different toys that you would find in multiplayer. Yes, Battlefield is always about online play and that's why people like it. Multiplayer mode, however, is good. The online action is intense and you must be smart on choosing a squad because if your team did not coordinate right you are going to lose. Also the game provide tons of the unlocks and achievements, so you could just dig them out for months. Final words, I will say BC2 is a good multiplayer shooter harmed by mediocre SP campaign, yet it's definitely worth checking out if you enjoyed online shooter games.… Expand

All houses are destroyable, but the rests of them cant be moved, does that make sense? I dont got the wood doors, which you destroy with your knive. Thats not realistic. This whole (world) destruction-> only stupid houses(!) goes on my nervs. Its a playable game with a kind of achievement system which unlooks youre weapons, but its a hard deal as a bloody newcomer.

    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.
