    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. İlerlemede her şey tahmin edilebilir olduğu için pek keyif alamadım; ama yine de hikaye ve oynanış çok paralel gidiyor. Bu güzel. Öte yandan yapay zekası aşırı; ama aşırı kötü.

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

    At the time of its release, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare received almost universal praise. War games are nothing new – we already had Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, and to an extent, Wolfenstein – but Modern Warfare really did modernize the first-person shooter, and people liked that it reflected war as it currently exists in the Middle East, not war as it historically was. ElectronicAt the time of its release, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare received almost universal praise. War games are nothing new – we already had Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, and to an extent, Wolfenstein – but Modern Warfare really did modernize the first-person shooter, and people liked that it reflected war as it currently exists in the Middle East, not war as it historically was. Electronic Arts eventually countered ActiVision’s hit title with a series of their own, the Battlefield series, and hired a developer that almost came out of nowhere, DICE. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 came out three years after Modern Warfare, and proved EA could modernize the war game genre as well as anyone else. The only bad news is it’s a lot of narrow passageways until the “battlefield” opens up, and there is a dense fog-of-war, obstructing faraway targets. Truth be told, EA and DICE proved a point: not only could Modern Warfare be replicated, it could be improved.

    As the late Ryan Davis of Giant Bomb said, Bad Company 2 follows “a ragtag group of misfits.” You, Marlow, and teammates “Sweets,” Haggard, and Sarge are attempting to stop a Russian called Aguire from terrorizing the United States on its homeland, for example, by disabling the power-grid. A lot of comedy comes from Haggard, a southerner, who, for example, gets on the case of your helicopter pilot, who says he’s a pacifist. The game has you chasing clues around multiple locations in South America.

    Again, you are sadly following a linear path, but open areas are in the game. You could be with your squad-mates in the jungle, and there is only one path forward. At times, if you venture out of the battle zone, the game gives you a warning and a ten-second timer to get back in fair territory. My old roommate loved Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2, but showed me how some open plots of land are blocked by invisible walls. It’s the same idea. Still, there are open combat areas, but now the biggest offense is “fog of war.” Probably in an effort to get away with low-resolution textures, the farther you look, the less you can see. Still, the combat really does feel modern, as you look down your sights and target the enemy.

    The game actually has fantastic character models. I think you could use these exact character models in a next generation game, and nothing would look out of place. There is a realistic woven-cotton texture on everyone’s uniforms, and detail is right down to individual finger movements. The environments aren’t too bad. The game features “destructible environments,” so a house wall could crumble, exposing one’s cover. I thought it was a neat trick, but it was clear the walls were meant to break only in certain ways. It isn’t something you see in modern shooters, unfortunately. I think graphically, the game was at its most impressive during a boat ride down a river, with enemies talking on a bridge above you.

    Sadly, the campaign is four and a half hours, but in 2010, that was reasonable for a first-person shooter. The thinking was, We’ll add hours of playtime with multiplayer, but I hardly touched it, preferring the single-player mode. Of course, Battlefield multiplayer is a big deal now, with Battlefield V and the Star Wars offshoot Battlefront. For me, DICE proved exactly what they needed to prove: another game’s success can be duplicated in a short turnaround time. It’s straight out of the common college business book, The Innovator’s Dilemma. One who innovates in an industry will be met with copycats who can price more competitively, sometimes forcing the innovator out. That said, Call of Duty still exists, but many don’t take it as seriously now, with the very disappointing Call of Duty: Ghosts, the silly space themed Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, and the poorly reviewed Call of Duty: WWII. Any modder that can lift the fog deserves recognition. Otherwise the game is near perfect.    … Expand

    I think it's the first time I hated an FPS game so much. Although demolition is not a bad concept at first, it gets extremely annoying after a while. I didn't like the story very much, also the weapons work very strangely. Some men do not die even though I hit them 3 times in the head, but some of them die with 1 foot hit.

The graphics are good for its era, but the mechanics and keyboard-mouse optimization are a disgrace. I also encountered a lot of bugs while playing, and this was the tipping point. I tried to put up with this damn game for about 1.5 hours but no, this game is crap in my opinion unfortunately. Just in the first episode, I died about 10 times because of the game's ridiculous optimization problems. **** soldiers are smashing everywhere and you have nowhere to take cover. And in the end you die. Excuse me if you like it but it's a **** game.… Expand

    This was most definitely one of the best entries into the battlefield series.

    There were 3 ground-breaking games in the Battlefield series: 1942, Battlefield 2, Bad Company 2. While Battlefield 3 was groundbreaking in its own way. It wasn't as big of a jump as Battlefield 2 to Bad Company 2. Sadly it was downhill after Battlefield 3. As BF4 was just more of the same. BF1 was good,    This was most definitely one of the best entries into the battlefield series.

    Sadly it was downhill after Battlefield 3. As BF4 was just more of the same. BF1 was good, but also more of the same just in a different universe and so was BF5.

    While 2042 is an absolute train wreck.

    The day Bad Company 2 launched, I dropped playing Call of Duty and told myself I will never go back.

    I then continued playing Battlefield competitively from 2010 to 2013 (BC2, BF3, BF4). Unfortunately, I lost interest in BF4 and haven't really been hooked on a BF game since.

    Either way, fond memories of Bad Company 2, with many friends made whom I am still friends with today.    … Expand

    The campaign is very fun, brings a story that holds, characters that make you like them, a very nice gameplay to play, graphics ok, very interactive scenarios.
    I only played the campaign so I have nothing to say about multiplayer.
    The note is not higher because the campaign is really short, the characters are developed just enough to enjoy them there in the 6 hours of the campaign.

    It is really worth playing despite the campaign being very short, especially that it is possible to buy this game on sale very cheaply.

    Besides the general look of the game graphics, sounds, and whatnot. the game play falls short from the previous titles. played Bad company 2 for 500+ hours, BF3 for 700 hours, and this game for 80 hours and I'm already sick of it. Multiplayer is rage inducing experience nothing will works out the way you think it would. spawn camping seems easier on this one than other ones, and the maps… Expa

    Strictly from a story mode perspective, this game is a fairly average modern military fps. That might frustrate a lot of people to hear, but any fondness you have for the story mode is strictly nostalgia.

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.

Потому что буран который нечего не сносит, нет разрушаемости, и модели персонажей, и так умерла серия battlefield, жаль.

    Вывод: игру стоит брать, почему же? Потому-что в этой игре есть прокачка и сюжет, но нету достижений на pc, где же брать, лучше на xbox, есть достижения, но не показывает время, но лучше брать на xbox 360, хоть и там ограничитель fps и 24 игрока максимум место 32, так что лучше брать на pc!

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

    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.
