    Fun shooter with a good spin on the traditional format. Good weapons and vehicle use is a good mechanic. Fun game, solid graphics, ok story, but nothing memorable.

    OK, so the multiplayer still rocks, but why oh why did they abandon the kind of open plan levels in the single player campaign that made the original so fun? The original Battlefield BC had a design philosophy which made the single player a great experience, they let you do it pretty much your own way, walk or drive it was your choice.

Spend 20 minutes driving round the outside of an impregnable fortress looking for the exact spot where the game designers say I can get in? Why the hell can't I just rocket a hole in the wall and drive on in? Bad Company stood out because it was different to all the other on rails shooters out there, too bad they chickened out with the sequel. Every single player game is on rails from here on in.… Expand

The multiplayer gameplay is great fun and the games can get properly competitive with the match swaying back and forth. The focus on team-play and cooperation is also great fun and well appreciated. SO... The near game-breaking fault? Circle strafing helicopters. In your base. All the time. Relentlessly killing you as you spawn. Again and again and again and again... THAT IS TOTAL CRAP! They have since forbidden enemies to enter opponent's bases in the subsequent Vietnam expansion pack and BF3... But Bad Company 2's fun REALLY suffers because of that awful spawn fragging nonsense.… Expand

    Very average. Honestly, from the start of the campaign, to the end credits, nothing happened to the characters. They didn't change at all, even if every event in the story didn't happen, the characters would be no different.

It is full of campers sniping everywhere, and it is pointless to go out because more than likely you will be killed from behind you. Caused by the random spawning.

    Ok late review, I had this game on release didn't like it that much tbh, I just got it again and I'm loving it. Single player is still rubbish but online is good. Only let down is that while I prefer this to CoD, this is the camping game of the two. CoD has more noob players but this is a pure campfest! However it's a shame 1943 beats this by a clear mile. As that's an arcade game

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Battlefield Bad Company 2 es uno de los primeros juegos que jugué y de los pocos de la saga. Le tengo mucha nostalgia y tengo que reconocer que es muy adictivo, al punto de que en su momento, pensaba que se merecía un 8. Pero ahora que soy mas objetivo, no me dejare llevar por fanatismos y criticare los puntos negativos. Pudo haber sido una obra maestra, pudo haber sido uno de los mejores juegos de PS3 y multijugador online de la historia, el potencial ahí esta, pero tengo que señalar ciertos defectos que me hicieron enojar... bastante.
    En Singleplayer solo tenes un modo campaña que en mi opinión es bastante genérico, recuerda a los COD o incluso a los MOH en jugabilidad, simplemente seguir por pasillos rectos matando enemigos, y si bien es interesante explorar ciertas secciones del mapa para poder encontrar nuevas armas o activar y destruir cajas COM especiales, la verdad que la historia me resulto genérica y no me atrayeron ninguno de los personajes, mas allá del hippie que ese si tenia su carisma. El final también es bastante malo y no combina para nada con la estética que planteaba el juego de un inicio, ya que tenes que destruir un aparato que luce muy futurista, cuando antes no había nada parecido.. Personalmente, uno de los peores modos campaña que he jugado, ya que no tiene nada que me haya llamado la atención (exceptuando como ya dije, el hippie como personaje que tiene su carisma y el explorar ciertas zonas para encontrar armas y cajas COM). Ademas, el modo singleplayer no tiene bots en mapas multiplayer, cosa que me parece un tanto desaprovechado. Siguiendo ahora con el multiplayer, tenes varios modos de juego, pero solo la gente juega conquista y rush, incluso en 2010 (que fue cuando salio el juego), no había nadie jugando recuerdo yo. Tampoco hay multijugador con bots o a pantalla dividida, pero bueno... En cuanto al modo rush y conquista, estos resultan ser entretenidos. Desbloquear nuevas armas, habilidades, medallas para el personaje y las armas, mejorar las clases, etc, hay mucha personalización y cada clase tiene sus pros y sus contras, aunque hay algunas armas claramente desbalanceadas, pero tampoco es que las primeras sean terribles, de hecho, se pueden usar perfectamente al comenzar desde el principio. El juego tiene bastante contenido en el online, y se nota que es donde mas se centraron, pero se puede ver que BBC2 esta un poco adelantado para la PS3, ya que tiene gráficos increíbles para la consola, y un rendimiento generalmente estable, de hecho, ha envejecido muy bien, ademas de contar con un buen diseño de mapas, pero que esto a veces afecta a la jugabilidad; lo explicare mas adelante.
    Pero debido a que BBC2 esta adelantado para la consola, se nota que también no pudieron pulir ciertos glitches.... y en cuanto a los glitches... uffff, tenemos para rato... Ya con decir que se asemeja a NFS MW, Crash Twinsanity o Pokemon en cuanto a glitches, ya os hacéis una idea. Este juego tiene muchos bugs, los cuales mencionare todos los que me encontré, y que no han arreglado desde 2010 hasta la ACTUALIDAD.
    -A veces cuando ganaste dice que perdiste y viceversa.
    -Los servidores son bastante malos, lo que esto provoca que armas como el cuchillo que ya tienen un hitbox cuestionable, se queden como "a medio acuchillar" y falles aunque le estés dando claramente, lo mismo con armas como granadas o bazucas. También te puede echar de la nada o que el personaje se teletransporte para atrás al correr, o que al recargar un arma no suceda nada.
    -Querer explotar los C4 y que siga poniendo mas en vez de detonarlos.
    -Que el juego congele la PS3 (al menos esto me sucede en la PS3 Super Slim), generalmente ocurre al usar el UAV o cualquier tanque. Lo peor de todo es que te puede volver a ocurrir si volves al mismo servidor y haces la misma acción!!! Se me llego a congelar la consola 3 veces en 1 día como mucho!!!
    Estos son los mas importantes, pero hay muchos mas...
    Tampoco me gusto que el equipo rival pueda entrar en tu base y matarte luego pasado los dos primeros objetivos... No podía ser como en TF2 que la base es tu lugar seguro y nadie puede matarte? Hay mapas en los que una vez que se conquista cierto territorio, apareces en el mismo lugar y te pueden matar en menos de 1 segundo al reaparecer, todo el tiempo! O en mapas como White Pass, los 10 segundos que te dan para volver a tu zona son suficientes para acuchillar al que usa el UAV! Es por todo esto que creo que afecta a la jugabilidad negativamente. No me malinterpreten, el juego esta muy bien en la base! Podes ademas matar de formas graciosas a los soldados, como con el reparador o el C4, por dar algunos ejemplos, pero que esto a veces no esta tan bien balanceado y armas como el M2 o la escopeta con balas slug por ejemplo, llegan a estar rotisimas, o vehículos como el Apache. En resumen, es adictivo en multiplayer y sin contar los fallos, y el singleplayer es olvidable, recordandome a un FPS genérico de la PS2.    … Expand

    Just received the game for X-mas. I am a long time gamer since the start of gaming, seen it all. Played a bit of the campaign but mostly on X-box live.

I am a long time gamer since the start of gaming, seen it all. Played a bit of the campaign but mostly on X-box live. Lets start with the graphics that everybody is saying so great. My TV is 53" 6 year old HD projection (witch weren't that great to start with) so the graphics look like sh** and I have trouble seeing enemies and tanks even close up some times, you have to look for motion for something to stand out. Especially with all the constant smoke and dust obscuring visibility. You shoot an enemy up and a cloud of smoke obstructs further aiming. Not knowing where your enemies are is very realistic but it seems like most of the times you die you never see it coming, sometime the radar will light up enemies when they are shooting at you but allot of times it doesn't which is very frustrating because you can't rely on it. They are trying to take 3D life where you have your 6 senses working 360 degrees and peripheral vision - and then translate it to 2D which doesn't work. They have to give you alternate senses to rely on to replace the ones lost. Allot of times it ends up being just a free fraul off killing and deaths unless you are on a drastically winning team or are on a private chat with 3 other friends to coordinate attacks and expose enemies by sacrificing your own. The ability to respawn on your own personal and bases makes dying only a minor inconvenience adding to the free fraul. In conquest respawning only at home base would solve this plus being made to take bases in order and the game ending when you posses all the bases would eliminate the craziness and late game home base blood baths creating a straight forward goal based battle. The next biggest frustration with the game is getting stuck on you surroundings either waking or driving. When walking anything over 6 inches tall (step height) stops you dead forcing you to jump as well as hills you think you should be able to climb up stop you and you sit there jumping like an idiot trying to get up. You will end up pulling your hair out because of this. When driving a tank you get stuck on almost everything. There is not much that can stop a tank in real life but when you get stuck on a wooden fence or building it's frustrating. Some things come down easy an others do not - very frustrating You should be able to flatten the grass/bamboo/tin huts in the Vietnam version without even slowing down. Some will break with effort but by then you are dead from enemy fire that you can't locate it's origin . Next is the weapons capabilities, as you build rand they give you more weapons not necessarily better ones. As you scroll thought the list of weapons you can't compare them directly, you find two you like at opposite ends of the list and by the time you scroll from one to the other you can't hardly remember where the bar was - to solve this give the power / accuracy / range bars a numerical value. As well the ability to only use one spec in each of the three spec columns is a piss off. You put hundreds of hours into the game to earn this stuff and only get to use 3. They make you choose between armor or ammo, targeting systems or speedy reloading ect............................It feels like all the time and progress is futile. You should be able to use them all, you put the time in you reap the benefits. If it gives you to much of an advantage make them harder to get or set up games where your entrance depends on ability. Low rank players play with other low rankers ect... Another thing that is frustrating is the aiming ability, whenever you hit the button it seems like I am always pointing at the enemies feet. If you set the sensitivity low it moves to slow and you end up dead, too fast and you over shoot the target every time, I can't seem to find a happy middle ground. Always liked some sort of mild auto aiming. Lastly the gun sights projected out in front of you whether walking or driving are either white or lighted red or blue. The white being the worst, you have a hard time seeing them especially when going though like back ground colours or smoke. Half the time you can't tell where you are aiming. The 4x red dot scope is a great spec but you have to pass up other good specs to use it. I should have waited for version 3. I hope they address all the problems with #2 and fire all their testers and hire some that know what they are doing and have some balls to say that the game isn't ready yet!â… Expand

So if you are looking to spent some time destroying buildings as I did this game may help you, but if you are looking for a hardcore next gen FPS with realistic characters and tactics, you might want to look somewhere else on the market there are far more better games than this one with those features.… Expand

    Probably the most disappointing part of it is how much it isn't like the original game. On the surface, it looks like Battlefield Bad Company with polished graphics.

On the surface, it looks like Battlefield Bad Company with polished graphics. But after playing it you realize it is nothing like it, and they've taken out previous game elements and replaced them with worse ones for some reason.

    First thing is obviously the fact that there is almost no vehicles in the campaign. In the Battlefield Bad Company campaign there was vehicles, and it was more enjoyable because then the player could choose to play how they wanted. For some reason they've abandoned that in favor of a campaign that is more similar to Call of Duty then Battlefield.

    Another thing that would catch any fan of the previous game off guard is the story. It's reasonable to expect that Bad Company 2 would start where the previous game left off. But it didn't. Instead, the story is entirely different. It's in a completely different universe. Which would be OK if there wasn't a game before it. The fact that the characters have completely different personalities in both games is very distracting.

    Another thing is that absolutely no one plays this game now. It's probably the garbage matchmaking system. It's still easy to get a full game in the original Bad Company, but not in this one, even though Bad Company 2 probably has more players.

    If you haven't played Bad Company before, you might like this Bad Company 2. But for anyone who was a fan of the previous game, you're probably better off sticking to Bad Company.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Recently I decided to play Battlefield: Bad Company 2 again due to the lack of retail games being released. The game begins in October 1944 with a group of US Commandos trying to take a Japanese Naval Base during "Operation Aurora". During this Operation, the commandos capture a Japanese Scientist who tries to tell them to leave the island as soon as possible because of a project known as "Black Weapon". While leaving the island, the commandos were too late and the "Black Weapon" is activated which creates a tsunami and kills the commando group. The story is then taken to the present day were a group of U.S Soldiers are told to secure a device like the "Black Weapon" in Russia. Having done everything they needed to get the device, it is later found out that it was a fake. Due to the successful mission in Russia, General Braidwood tells the group that are now enlisted into a special force and is told to find Agent James Aguire. The squad go to Bolivia in search of Aguire which eventually leds to many firefights with the locals. The group are able to find Aguire and find out that they can retrieve his intelligence on these types of weapons from a French satellite that is being controlled in a base in the Andes. The group land the satellite and have to stop a Russian Army how are after the intelligence so that they can destroy it. When the group bring back the intelligence to Aguire; he tells them that the person behind making these weapons is a Russian Colonel known as Arkady Kirilenko (the same man that the group tried to eliminate in Russia). Kirilenko's plan is to try and wipe out the American Power Grid using these weapons so that the Russian Army can invade the USA. The group are told that Kirilenko is hiding out in Chile which leds to them and the U.S Forces hunting him down. The group eventually find him but Kirilenko is able to escape again. The group find intel on where Kirilenko maybe heading to next. The group believe that he was of to find an abandoned ship known as "Sangre Del Toro". The group move out and find the ship which contains the key ingredient in making these weapons. The group also find out more about what happened during "Operation Aurora". The Operation was a suicide mission so that the U.S Army were able to see the capability of the "Black Weapon". While trying to get to compound to Aguire for analysis, the groups helicopter is shot down which leaves them split up. The group eventually regroup with one another and escape from the local militia. Giving the compound to Aguire, the group find out that Aguire is a double-agent and wants revenge for what happened to his father - one of the commandos involved in Operation Aurora. However Kirilenko betrays Aguire and kills him. Kirilenko tries to kill the group but they are saved by their helicopter pilot who evetually dies due to his wounds. They eventually head through the city of Quinto were it is believed that Kirilenko's Black Weapon is being held. The group find out that it is being held on a large cargo plane as it is activated showing the group its true power. The group then smuggle themselves on to the cargo plane, they find that Kirilenko is trying to activate the weapon above Southern United States until the group blow up the weapon and the plane. While bailing out of the plane, Kirilenko steals the last parachute. While in free fall, Kirilenko is killed and the remaining parachute is handed to you by one of the group. The group believe that all their hard work did something until the General turns up to tell them that they will be helping to fight of the Russian Army as it has just moved through Alaska and Canada.

    Positives I liked how you played in WW2 and the modern era
    I very much enjoyed the multiplayer
    I liked the idea of collecting people's dog tags after getting a knife kill on multiplayer

    Negatives
    It is far to easy to get sniping kills in the story and on multiplayer
    The story is one which has been used many times and after playing it once, the second time round was very boring

    Game was clearly developed by men with bulls. Whether those were EA or DICE execs is the question. Horrid game design, poor gameplay, clearly the devs were not trying, were outsourced, or were too busy crying that they would never be a woman. This is an abomination.

    Good reviews here are clearly by manchildren.

BC2 has muddy, crappy, 720p-max graphics; chaotic, pointless gameplay... which only a retarded run n gun scum could possibly like.... the maps are unfollowable.... the vehicles uncontrollable and, it would seem, indestructible to you but not if you get in it - yay!!..... the controls stupid in any and all variation(s) it makes from MW2 - seemingly only b/c MW2 has used them IN EVERY CASE (melee, crouch etc).... you know why MW2 used their configurations DICE? Cos they are better. Sound seems dead and empty... like a permanent frag has gone off.... Weapons lame... how the upgrades work is not remotely followable so there is no sense of working towards anything like MW2's perks and unlocks and so forth... Quite how anyone could give this craptatsic game a review score above four out of ten is totally beyond me. Overrated, boring, frustrating and ugly. Finding the enemy is always a complete fluke, if can find them at all and I rarely saw the person who killed me... just a stupid game. MW2 craps all over it. Trust me.… Expand

    this game is so terrible. it focuses on realism way to much and forgets the fun. the story is shot and is way to predictable. the mutiplayer is full of sever problems and is very lacking in game modes.

    The most flattering way to look at Bad Company 2 is as an intense online shooter with a slightly dodgy singleplayer mode included as a free bonus.

    '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.

    Although the singleplayer campaign is entertaining enough, it is in the multiplayer that this game really shines. Almost perfectly balanced, the vehicles, destructible buildings and team-play make this game a joy to play and a must for any fans of the genre.
