    This is the best multiplayer shooter of all time! I have played lots of FPS. And BBC2 is the best. It’s better than any cod, Counter Strike and latter battlefields like BF3 and BF4. It's frenetic, tactical, with lots of destruction and a unique atmosphere and gameplay. It has the best maps ever seen in a videogame. Awesome game!

    So superior to the Newer BF3's and BF4's. They are very good looking but can't compare with the FUN of playing Bad Company 2!

    I don't know why but it's just more fun. Also you can destroy anything in the game and the sound is awesome! Best BF game in my mind. I've uninstalled Origin and re-installed BF: BC2!

    BFBC2 is probably the most over-rated games in the series, many people saying that its a great game, while bf3/bf4 are bad. Both of the latter are superior to BFBC2, atleast on PC.

    the multiplayer is where its at if your not a fan of close quarters and lone gunning stop reading this review and get this game right away simple the multiplayer has 4 classes assault, engineer, medic and recon the assault class is more up close and personal and it gives a wide variety of guns to use the engineer is more defensive, the engineer has the choice of sub machine guns and shotguns but it also has rocketlauncher on his back and mines are available you also have a screwdriver to repair damaged vehicles, the medic allows you to have heavy machine guns and a deffibrilator which allows you to heal dead teammates who havent respawned yet this is handy to put pressure onto the enemy team so you can further advance, the recon class allows you to use sniper rifles this class is more for the supportive person and can help with both defense and offense (if your a good aim).
    say you just got the game and is looking for team deathmatch be asured dont, bad company 2 is more about freedom of choice and teamwork so the selection of modes it has are objective based.

    Team play is the best I have ever found. 32 players are enough to fill a battlefield but teams are not too large so you can get to know the players.

    Solid core gameplay and servers with rules that prevent annoying kid's tactics (like way too many recons, camping and base-raping) provide awesome gameplay experience. Not to mention well balanced weapons and vehicles.
    Graphics are good, not amazing (textures are rather low-res), and yet you'll have so much fun playing it you wouldn't notice.
    Let's hope next BF is BC3...
    of course this is a MULTIPLAYER review. Singleplayer was boring and the story is messy and confusing. Got bored after 2 hours (and I'm rather patient.)

The multiplayer is limited to 32 players, which is a little disappointing, but the maps are still quite large and the vehicle battles feel gritty and intense. The weapons feel much more punchy than BF2, even it the amount of recoil can sometimes be off-putting to my enjoyment, especially as longer ranges. The guns are fairly well balanced, although the tendency for everyone else to rush off with a sniper rifle remains; leaving you with the sole responsibility of actually doing the work. Another gripe I have is that the vehicles handle extremely badly and are frustrating to control; often flipping over if you so much as lean it too far. Overall though, I like Bad Company 2: it has it's frustrations and gameplay issues, but for the most part is destructive, well-made and sometimes entertaining multiplayer experience.… Expand

The destruction is very well done, it looks great! There are a lot of vehicles to drive the other faction has completely different designs for the vehicles. The game play is great for a FPS shooter. Everyone is balanced, even a level 50 is easy to kill because they are not overpowered. The only things they get is new guns and items which only help a little bit. The spawning is great, you rarely get spawn camped unlike Call Of Duty where you sit and get spawn killed. The squad is fun and great, playing with friends or public is extremely fun, conquering flags, killing players, shooting vehicles down, riding tanks, flying helicopters. It's so much fun! The destruction: If you shoot a building with a rank or shoot RPGs, rockets, grenade launchers, etc it will break windows, doors, fences, objects, and blow holes into the building, after the building has enough damage, it falls Vehicles also have parts to come off if hit in certain spots, such as the tank. When the tank is hit on the side, the armor plating falls off, if hit in the back, the parts on the rear parts fall off, etc. All vehicles are balanced, the 4x4 is fast but weak, the jeep is useful for traveling and shooting down helicopters and shooting players quickly and running them over, a tank is useful for destroying buildings and killing players, helicopters are good against tanks and are good for destroying players and buildings. There are also stationary weapons and sea vehicles that add on to the wonderful experience. Almost everything about this game is good. The 1 element that is missing though is customization, you can't change your color, you can't select your face or helment or armor or anything like that, although all characters look different.

    First of all, let me just say that DICE have done a great job on making the game's graphics accessible to everybody. The multiplayer is not too dissimilar to Bad Company, albeit a few minor improvements and some more game modes. It's a lot easier to find action now even on 8 player servers in Squad Deathmatch.

The multiplayer is not too dissimilar to Bad Company, albeit a few minor improvements and some more game modes. It's a lot easier to find action now even on 8 player servers in Squad Deathmatch. Impressive, considering the scale of the maps. You'd almost be lucky to get away with not being spawn killed. I'm still personally divided over the Battlefield concept. On one hand, the graphics, big maps, vehicles, sense of teamwork and simulating realism make every kill satisfying, every win earnt, every point of XP rewarding. But on the other hand, I rarely die in a gun-on-gun firefight knowing that I died because I deserved it- because a mistake was made. Deaths feel so random due to the large maps and the nature of spawn points. That said, the game has a strange, addicting allure to it. The class-based multiplayer and progression/unlock system does make it a bit unfair on new players who don't have all the best weaponry and upgrades, but the game is still playable and balanced for the most part. This game does what many people want in an FPS- as close to realism as possible but without making the game unplayable. For that, it deserves credit. As for the campaign, it is very much similar to Bad Company 1 but with less emphasis on large-scale battles and more focused on variety of environments. The campaign is fairly linear, lacking ambition and the plot is almost non-existent. Overall, if you can't afford a supercomputer to run Battlefield 3 but want something just like it, you can't go wrong with BC2. There are lots of servers and people playing it, and the campaign isn't great but worth playing if you're bored. You just have to be patient with the multiplayer to start enjoying it. The multiplayer makes use of rewarding you for staying loyal to one of four classes, with upgrades and some iteration of perks. While it's still easy to understand what you're doing in the battlefield, the game could do a better job of explaining the unlock progression. Perhaps Bad Company 2's greatest achievement is its uncomprimising combination of stunning graphics, wide variety of maps and modes and gives the player incentive to play to unlock new gear and rank up. The game is rewarding, yet for such a demandingly hardcore and realistic shooter, it's remarkable that one can enjoy this game after a short period of game time online. By its very nature, teamwork is promoted and feels satisfying. The title of the game is Battlefield, yet you can take a break from long-range, vehicular combat in Rush and engage in more hectic, seemingly arena-based mix of free-for-all with teams in Squad Deathmatch. Whatever the case, Bad Company 2 does nearly everything well. Certainly it differentiates itself from other shooters but still implements some of the conventions of modern shooters without losing its identity.… Expand

    I find this game much better than battlefield 3. Many more buildings are actually destructible, the player count is tight and focused as well as the quality of the maps. What happened to free map updates DICE? strike at karkand is a remastering of older maps, yet you charge 15$ for the map pack? Bad company 2 is the superior game.

    While it was not as good as I hoped it would be, this is still quite a game. The humorous singleplayer is much better than BF3, but the multiplayer suffers from unreliable hit detection and other minor things as the lack of going prone. 64 player support, along with bigger maps would have been nice aswell.

I just finished the MW3 campaign, played multiplayer for 30 minutes, and thought "i would much rather be playing Battlefield right now." it kills me to waste that 60 bucks for the not so good MW3 campaign, but i'm not reviewing MW3, i'm reviewing this game. The people who gave this game a 0 are just CoD fanboys. This game immerses you in the battle, to the fullest extent. tactical thinking is required, not just fast reflexes (unlike SOME contemporary InfinityWard titles). if you stop shooting your extremely realistic gun for just a few seconds and look forward and up at the sky for a little bit, you see what real soldiers see: mortar shells falling from the sky, anti-aircraft fire being thrown back up at the sky, helicopters demolishing enemy infantry and armor, or ironically being shot down by that same infantry and armor. snipers are laying down suppressing fire on the enemy team, vehicles and helicopters are skirmishing with each other or moving towards new targets. stray shots, from rifle or cannon, are flying around, hitting whatever they can find. after staring at such destruction and war with awe, your senses come flying back to you and you immediately take cover, supporting your teammates in their attempt to move forward on the front, or moving forward yourself. you might be repairing a tank, or driving one. you could be laying down fire from a Blackhawk helicopter's mounted miniguns, or shooting down that same helicopter in a gunship. you might be calling in a mortar strike, skirmishing with an enemy squad, outnumbered 4 to 1, or attempting to take out a hidden enemy sniper in a battle of not only aim, but of wits. you could be advancing in a quad bike, or suppressing enemies with a Humvee's 50. cal. i give it a 9 because EA couldn't maintain the servers for a full week to save their life, and the singleplayer campaign. is a pile of sh*t. But its cost today of roughly 20 bucks on Steam makes it an ENORMOUSLY good purchase idea. If you are wondering if you should get it or get MW3, GET THIS GAME! MW3 is a royally screwed piece of crap compared to this game. at one-third the price of MW3, its the deal of a lifetime. i would buy this game for $70.… Expand

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.

What really caught me, however, was the multiplayer. I've been playing some CS and CoD before this, but never really enjoyed their cramped gameplay, but the open areas and vehicle battles was a good change. The graphics are good, most of the maps are OK although some of the Rush maps seem to have been poorly designed as there are alot of chokepoints were you'll quickly loose if you're team is slow moving. The squad gameplay is a nice addition, which is even better if you play with friends and can infiltrate enemy spawns just to wait for them to spawn on you and then make your move together. Most of the maps are also open enough to let you find your own way, not just simply alley A or B to reach C and you know there'll be someone with either a machinegun or a sniper rifle aiming down that killzone. If you enjoy playing multiplayer FPS games over large maps this is definitely a game you shouldn't miss out on!… Expand

I have noticed that most of the big fans of the original line of BF games (BF1942, BFV, BF2, BF2142) have been very disappointed in the mediocrity that DICE has been spitting out recently, seriously DICE, you used to win "Game of the Year" awards back in the day as if they were a dime a dozen, we all expected at least something good. enough about that, on to the actual game. Its mediocrity at its most mediocre. its still puny groups of people fighting on maps where visibility is near nothing due to all the dust/snow thats flying all over the place. not only that, but I find a hacker at the rate of 1/3 of all the games i play in, people who somehow manage to headshot a bunch of players PERFECTLY in rapid succession from the other side of the stupid map without missing a single shot. and about the visibility, DICE decided to focus on their game engine more than the gameplay... again... I can understand how destructible environments is nice, but the hyperbolic destructive power of all explosives in the game is just nuts, along with the ridiculous amounts of dust that explosives create. having a 40mm grenade blast a hole in a concrete wall 6 feet wide makes no sense, it seems like all the structures in this game are made of Styrofoam filled with compressed dust inside... adding to the list of things i want to complain about is the lack of a comm-rose, combined with the fact that you can only call out a single enemy every 10 or so seconds, which doesnt help when you have spotted a group trying to flank you, you cant even make it clear that you want ammo, or a medic, or even say thanks, that combined with no prone position makes it immensely frustrating to try to scout enemy locations... the last major thing i want to complain about is the regenerating health... I dont get it, WHY does EVERY FPS game HAVE to have regenerating health? even in Multiplayer? how does running away and sucking on your thumb for 3 seconds equate to growing your legs back all of a sudden? it kills the point of being a medic, and encourages heroism, where the very good players run into a enemy stronghold, picks off a couple guys, then runs off for 3 seconds and repeats, and theres no way of killing that player even when they took 30 bullets to the chest over the span of 20 seconds, the idea of working with your team is almost non-existent in BFBC2. Though with all that said, the game is moderately enjoyable, and the thing I am most impressed by is the fact that its closer to being an actual BATTLEFIELD game when compared to BFBC. At this point, I have lost all hope in DICE, and I think its only a matter of time before they turn out like the old amazing game producers like RAREWARE(Goldeneye007,Perfect Dark, Banjo Kazooie) and WESTWOOD(Command & Conquer), both were swallowed into the maw of EA, never to produce another great game. I am not expecting great things from BF3 at this point, from what Ive heard and seen of the game, its still going to be a far cry from the greatness of the old BF games, since apparently, FPS games are all about entertaining 10 year old kids with ADD these days with all the flashy graphics and explosions and none of the depth and strategy they used to contain.… Expand

    I roughly played BFBC2 for about 200 hours. So it goes without saying that I loved this game. The mere fact that you can destroy your environment to totally change how you play is an idea that needs to be pushed to the limit. That is what gamers want.

Detto questo, a volte diventa frustrante veryyy con quanti proiettili ci vuole per uccidere qualcuno. Devi quasi a svuotare un intero clip nella loro direzione generale di ucciderli. Anche scoppio di cottura per la precisione significa che si utilizzano più di un clip di uccidere nessuno. Serbatoi e vettori di personale sono molto divertenti.

Let me start off by saying that after all these years, I still love to play Battlefield 2 because of its Squad/Commander-System. I find the mixture of FPS action and tactical strategy appealing. Sometimes, though, it felt too sturdy: Players would not play by the "rules", abide to orders (whether I was commander, squad leader or simply a soldier), and generally would only play the "lone wolf". This is what made me stop playing the game for quite many times. I wished for a Battlefield which largely keeps this system while tweaking it towards dynamics and speed, so it can please both the fast shooters as well as the more tactical thinkers (without the extreme realism of, say, ArmA2). Also, I wanted to play an entertaining, simple FPS single player campaign, which is more or less neglectable tough. Main thing is an entertaining MP experience.
    What can I say; Battlefield: Bad Company 2 delivers on all levels for me.
    The single player (which I have not yet concluded) is fun, challenging at times, and the personal dynamics in B Company add a Hollywood-like, cool touch to it ("Why do you say Fiddy Cent, instead of just Fifty Cent?"). The multiplayer is solid, with fluent gameplay, interesting maps, as well as a rewarding rank/equipment system, which is well balanced: Players on lower or even starter ranks don't get blasted into oblivion fifty times in a row simply because more experienced players have the bigger guns. The game features the vehicle team-play I loved in BF2, and reduces the squad system to a simple, yet effective respawn-point-and-communication function. While I miss the commander role to a certain extent, I dislike the (apparent) missing of a proper communications system such as BF2 had it. Press Q to spot an enemy or give orders is simply not enough for me. Who didn't love the frantic repeated "Bail Out!" after a vehicle had been hit? I understand that the game's increased speed makes it hard to deliver spot-on comm to teammates without getting killed all the time, but still, it could've been a plus.
    Overall, an outstanding game, which is sure to keep me entertained for quite some time. If you're fed up with the always recurring Modern Warfare MP system, give BF:BC2 a try, you won't be disappointed - especially not if you love BF2 just like I do.    … Expand

You complain about "unloading a whole clip and not killing them, then they turn around and kill you"... Dont you think if they can hit you that maybe you just suck lol. The engine is beautiful! Graphics look 100x better than MW2 or Black Ops and if you can run it, upgrade your POS 8600. Are you serious? Most of the issues people are complaining about (disconnections, graphics, crashes, etc) are all things related to your PC, not the game. For those of us who actually know how to optimize settings and make our integrated sound card work on Windows 7 there are no crashes, great sound, great graphics, and fun game play. And no controller and Joystick support?!? LOL! Play with a mouse/keyboard like a man or you will get dominated. If you are going to play with a controller than why dont you have an xbox? And for all the b*tches who complain about the weapon and gadget unlocks. Are you serious? Every game known to man gives you the sh*t first and you get better as you play. When your a newb, you die... As you play and get better you dont. Thats like whining because you fell of your bike the first time you tried to ride it. Grow up. Everything takes practice. If I used all the very first guns of this game and no unlocks, I would still kick your a**. Dont believe the haters, the fan boys, and the morons. This game is a solid shooter with a level of intensity you cant get anywhere else. When the side of the building you are hiding in gets blown off by a tank or apache and you have to run for your life before the building collapses! Thats fun, not getting knife raped by people over and over with overpowered "perks" of other games. Oh and also, If you have ever used a knife or a gun for that matter, you dont ALWAYS hit what you are aiming at. If you miss, reload and try again. Welcome to reality. To summarize: BF:BC 2 is a console port yes, so there are some things that make it not as good as the other BF games. But most of the things people are complaining about are because they dont know what they are doing or they are 10.

One thing I find frustrating about BC2 is the leveling up aspect of the game. The idea being you aid your team with healing, repairing, kill streaks and you gain experience which in term grants you new weapons and perks. Fair enough. But the leveling up aspect of the game should not make it unenjoyable for new players starting the game as level 1. As a new player you will find yourself gunned down, killed with one shot kill rifles, unable to assist your team (medics dont even start with a healing pack.... you have to unlock it). It was only once I had unlocked some good weapons and perks where I started to enjoy the multiplayer. The Hardcore mode for the servers is amazing. hardcore removes most of the hud, and increases the damage of the weapons. This results in a much more 'realistic' style of game where controlled, aimed shots from cover are better than running in the open jumping and shrugging off bullets. One problem I did find with the hardcore mode was again, the leveling up. There is a perk which you unlock at level 15 called Magnum bullets. This perk increases your weapon of choices damage significantly. The weapons in HC already do significant damage but you cant help feeling annoyance when the person you are shooting at manages to quickly snap off a round which kills you, while leaving him badly wounded. Vehicles have always been a big thing for the Battlefield series and BC2 is no different. One or two things I will mention is that the Helicopters are slightly overpowered when in the hands of an expert player - and there are alot of expert players. You also you get some **** players who will TK you in order to get to a heli or tank before you, however that is more an issue with the player base than the game itself. Graphics wise - the game is on par with what I would expect from a recentish first person game. The physics of the game are great with every building being able to be destroyed. An enemy squad bunkered up in a building? Destroy one of the walls and storm in from an unexpected angle. The game does put you in a sense of awe with buildings exploding round you, the dieing screams of your team-mates, the pang of bullets flying past and the rumble of your heavy armor advancing forward seeking a new target or building to decimate. The single player - Good enough but nothing 'wowing'. Its the usual thing where the good guys end up winning, your team-mates never die, and you end up killing hundreds of poor Russians without a scratch to show for it. Once you complete it you will prob not feel the need to replay it. I will mention the cut-scenes which add an element of humor to the game and set up the plot quite well. All in all, A good game that I recommend. Well worth the nine or so dollars I spent purchasing this game from a Steam Sale. The reason I gave the game a 7 is the fact, as I mentioned before, you have to really unlock alot of weapons and perks before you can start to actually enjoy yourself ingame. Till you get these weapons and perks you will find yourself constantly frustrated, unable to kill people, unable to assist your team and slowly crawling up the exp ladder. A game should not punish its new player base to the point where it becomes unenjoyable while top level players are racking up the scores.… Expand

    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.
