    Simply epic. Nothing in the bracket of multiplayer FPS even comes close. This allows you to be the 'COD' style one-man show but also integrate seamlessly into a small of close knit tacticians or a fully fledged army.

    A hard PC game to rate, because at times it feels like a console port and at other times it feels like a PC optimized game. Running on a three year old Windows Vista at the worst settings it feels clunky and unsmooth, but on my Windows 7 laptop it runs amazing. After the update the game is much better and most PC disks will come with a free VIP map pack, which is a nice addition.

In the end, if you have a good computer (my laptop is an i7 Intel core with 1GB graphics), then the game is really good, but if you don't, then you may as well get a CoD title (the graphics are more adjustable) or an older Battlefield, playing on the worst settings isn't fun.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Grande Gioco. In questo momento ci sono un sacco di problemi di connettività. E ci vuole un'eternità per caricare la lista server (sono su una connessione molto veloce quindi non sono io). Il gioco è molto ben bilanciato tra pistole. Sparatorie sono molto divertenti perché non si ottiene solo colpo e muore subito. Capisco che non è realistico ... duh .... ma la guerra nella vita reale non è divertente. 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. Elicotteri sono reallly stupido in questo gioco. Entrare in una in elicottero, e ogni 50 cal da tutta la mappa è la cottura, traccianti che divampa contro di voi. Quindi entrare in un elicottero è un desiderio di morte. E non è divertente per volare a tutti, il suo stato davvero dumbed giù. Le sparatorie sono molto divertente e il gioco vi terrà occupati e incollato allo schermo per ore! Uscire e sostenere questo sviluppo, che stanno facendo il gioco con il pc opzioni specifiche, piuttosto che solo console porting come tutti gli altri in questi giorni.

    Simply one of the best FPS out there, the destroyable environments and giant maps made this game great and the singleplayer is still half descent a must buy if you enjoy FPS!

    Amazing. As expected from the Battlefield franchise, a superbly executed game that shows other devs what they should be aiming for. Better than Call of Duty by a long shot.

    Bad Company 2 is a breath-taking experience that will hopefully be upgraded in the highly-anticipated Battlefield 3 coming October 25th.

The multiplayer experience is somewhat slow but satisfying at best, and feels realistic as it should be, compared to other overrated titles such as Call of Duty 6: Modern Warfare 2 (2009) and the other highly-anticipated Treyarch game which is Call of Duty 8: Modern Warfare 3 (November 8, 2011). Bad Company is a true winner.… Expand

    I love that game giving you so much the feeling of "being-in-the-action" with lots of realism and destruction. If you want to go to war (not really of course but to have an war-like-adventure) buy that game. A must-have!

    Bad Company 2 is phenomenal. It is perhaps the greatest multiplayer FPS on PC. I've sunk over 350 hours into it so far, and for $5 on a steam summer sale, it was an absolute steal. Hands down the best game purchase I've ever made.

    Best game ever made. The netcode is the best and the hit registration is perfect. The maps are all big and well designed. The classes are a lot and well balanced. The infantry gameplay require a lot of skill but it's very satisfying. There are also a lot of good mods. Definitely a must have!

    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!

    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.

    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!

You were far more successful with these type of humourous games that don't take themselves too seriously. The characters in this game are brilliant and I would love to see them return. What else makes this the best fps singleplayer I've ever played are the awesome maps and destructible environment. The houses are usually made out of wood which means you can destroy the whole map. You play in beautiful and diverse locations, you start off in Alaska and then move to several places in south america, jungle, mountains and desert. I really liked playing in remote location as a small squad instead of a massive battlefield. It felt like there was a lot of freedom in how you complete the missions. In one mission you play on an open map and choose what objective to get when. And even though the other missions play on a more linear path there is still a lot of freedom in how to make your way through them. Every mission was fun in its own unique way. Not like other games where do keep doing the same thing in different locations.

    The multiplayer is simplistic and fun thanks to the game's great gunplay and open, destructible maps. Bad Company 2 Vietnam is what a dlc should be and one of the best dlcs in battlefield history.    … Expand

    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.
