In Battlefield: Bad Company 2, the 'B' company fight their way through snowy mountaintops, dense jungles and dusty villages. With a heavy arsenal of deadly weapons and a slew of vehicles to aid them, the crew set off on their mission and they are ready to blow up, shoot down, blast through, wipe out and utterly destroy anything that gets in their way. Total destruction is the name of the game, delivered as only the DICE next generation Frostbite engine can. [Electronic Arts]… Expand

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is as complete a package as you could ever ask for. Multiplayer-heavy titles can be a fickle beast, but we’re pretty sure we’ll be playing this one for quite some time to come.

    Both single player and multiplayer experiences excel in Bad Company 2, and the sequel is a great step up from its first iteration. This is one of the best and most addictive on-line experiences in a shooter in years.

    This really is one of the best looking console shooters I've ever played.

    It's kind of like DICE has trained for a game development biathlon, resulting in its first game where the single-player mode is just as good as the multiplayer -- and that says DICE has what it takes to be among the best in the business.

    'Battlefield: Bad Company 2' comes armed with a heavy arsenal and some bad attitudes, and delivers another solid shooting experience that will please fans of the original, and dare I say it, the “COD” clan as well.

    Overall Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a sequel worthy of taking your attention away from other shooter out there.
  7. Total Video Games

    There's no denying the appeal of Bad Company 2's multiplayer. DICE is still expertly nailing down what it pioneered all the way back in 2002, and the experience remains far from stale. However, poor design in the single-player makes for a campaign that's not only lacklustre throughout, but cripplingly buggy at times as well.

The Single Player Campaign is the best in its class and the Multiplayer has some of those epic 'Battlefield' moments. And, the way that you can customize your 'classes' in a multiplayer game is much better than those of Call of Duty. It is definitely a better game than the first Bad Company and is worth the purchase. I could not disagree more with JohnD, as if one side has something such as a helicopter it can get frustrating getting killed over and over but it puts you into a hard situation that YOU have to deal with. Also, if you level up or unlock something in-game you get to change and use it, in-game. For a basic summary, best in it's class and I have played EVERY Battlefield game to date. This is incredible.… Expand

Just finished the campaing hour ago and it was absolutely amazing. DICE studio managed to make an absolute peak of Battlefield games so far, even in 2021 is this game awesome.

    First of all things i have to say that i love the destructible environment, in compare to CoD is 100 and 0. Then i must mention the story in campaign.. American-Russia conflict located in South America (located in bigger part of game). Characters have excelent written dialogues and quotes. Level design is well, maps are big enough.

    Driving model maybe could be a little bit better designed but that cant change my rating of this game. After long time finally a 10/10 Game.    … Expand

    nikko!! you MORON!! MW2 runs at 600p! But anyway gave this game a 10 as it is ultimate fun! wont compare it to MW2 as ive played the hell out nikko!! you MORON!! MW2 runs at 600p! But anyway gave this game a 10 as it is ultimate fun! wont compare it to MW2 as ive played the hell out of that game and find it boring with its terrible maps. Bad company 2 has the best multiplayer experience out there, with great vehicles, game modes and weapons. Maps are very good and are suited to people who like to snipe or run and gun. If you havent played this game and are struggling for money, i suggest you trade in MW2.… Expand

    i gave this game a 9 because i haven't come across a game that deserves a perfect 10 yet . first i would like to put this one piece of inputi gave this game a 9 because i haven't come across a game that deserves a perfect 10 yet . first i would like to put this one piece of input that i believe is extremely important . don't compare this game with modern warfare 2 because you can't . other than the genre of the game you can't compare them because they are both totally different games . the things i love about this game is the fact that DICE takes care of their customers (giving map packs for free and fixing things as soon as possible), the game doesn't make you mad even though you are loosing, the fact that it's a team based game makes it amazing, destructible environment is spectacular, vehicles make the game more interactive and it's probably the most balance shooter i have ever played . the things i dislike about the game is the terrible support for headsets, people who spam C4 to take down objectives and input lag . overall this game is worth taking a look at and you have to give it a chance before you call it a terrible game because it took me time to appreciate the game for what it was and not what it wasn't like compared to modern warfare 2 .… Expand
