    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.
    Pathetic attempt.

    BFBC2 is a good game. The campaign is quite boring, but who cares about campaign in a Battlefield game? The multiplayer is amazing and is a lot smoother than BF 1943. A lot of customization, good classes and guns. Vehicles are great as well and the game is well balanced with vehicle and infantry gameplay.

    (I played this game when it came out, I'm just now writing the review)

    The campaign is really funny actually, I loved all of the characters and all of them had a different personality. This game looks stunning and looks very realistic. I am in love with the destructible environments.

    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. 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.

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

    Continues the original's campaign it's a bit more serious but still has the funny dialogue and it has still a lot of funny dialouge as much as BC1. Like Haggard says got to save me some cheerleaders. It's a brilliant game and should be played by everyone. 100/100.

    Unlike other Battlefield games, the single player is actually entertaining (especially because it doesn't take itself so seriously), and the A.I. isn't bad.

It is definitely not an incredibly long campaign, but it is certainly fun. While the single player is enjoyable, most of your time will be spent in the multiplayer. One of my favorite aspects of the multiplayer is the incredible weapon, vehicle, and player balance. No weapon in the game that is too over-powered or under-powered. While some weapons/vehicles in the game may bit easier too use, each weapon and vehicle succeeds at various ranges and situations. I also like how, unlike newer Battlefield games, the maps in BFBC2 that are tailored towards specific game modes rather than all of the maps used for each game mode, leading towards maps playing out well. The customization in the game is "just right" as well. It isn't over the top like Battlefield 4, but there are enough options and ways to play in Bad Company 2 that allows for hours and hours of addicting, truly fun gameplay. Even though there aren't a ton of game modes or maps and there are some bugs/glitches in the game, you will hardly notice it as you complete many battles with many hours of game time.… Expand

Le doublage VF m'avait laissé un doute dans le premier Bad Company mais là il s'en trouve confirmé : doublage québécois ! certes de bonne facture pour du québécois mais significativement inférieur à ce qu'on fait en France.

    On note quelques bugs (les ennemis coincés à moitié dans le décor) mais rien de rédhibitoire et à sa décharge, je n'ai pas installé le patch de 1750 mo... mais de qui se fout-on franchement ? pas que ça à faire... les patchs sur PS3, ça prend deux jours à chaque fois. Cela dit, ça ne change rien au souci fondamental de Bad truc numéro 2 : 5 mn de jeu, 2 mn de cinématique, 5 mn de jeu, 2 mn... couloirs bien balisés et scripts à profusion...

    Pas assez réaliste pour qu'on y prête un réel intérêt, les flingues sont mous et la suspension d'incrédulité est mise à mal toutes les 30 secondes ; peu importe l'ndulgence qu'on est susceptible de lui accorder (à moins d'avoir encore 12 ans) tout cela sent le mauvais téléfilm.

    Quant au multi, c'est du Battlefield... la confusion sur de très grandes cartes où tout le monde fait n'importe quoi et où on s'y emmerde... royalement.    … Expand

    What is Bad Company 2? - Bad Company 2 is the the 2nd installment in the Battlefield series (5th installment if you are a PC gamer, but you wouldn't be reading this if you were on PC now would you?). The Bad Company series is set in modern era.

    Price - 10/10 - A digital copy on the Playstation store is $10 and on Amazon the game is $20. However, if you want the best deal, you should buy it from Gamestop for $3-$5.

    DLC - 10/10 - The only DLC for this game is the Vietnam DLC, however, with the low player population, I'd recommend you not buy the DLC if you play on PS3.

    Microtransactions - 10/10 - there are no microtransactions!

    Graphics - 8/10 - Not Crysis good, but excellent for the time this game was released.

    Singleplayer - 10/10 - I had lots of fun playing the singleplayer campaign, nothing to complain about.

    Multiplayer - 7/10 - When you get a populated match, this is one of the best Battlefield games, but, this game's multiplayer is not populated very often and usually I only run into 2v2 matches (and you will have trouble finding matches for anything other than Rush and Conquest), but during it's peak you can run into 8v8 matches and have some fun.

    Overall: 9/10 - Excellent game, the player population isn't very good and I don't see this game going for much longer, so be sure to enjoy it while people still play. For $3 this game is fantastic.    … Expand

    "Bad Company 2", the first game in the series I ever played, is arguably the best one made. It was also the first "Battlefield" entry that brought real competition to "Call of Duty".

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

    Just as good as the previous one with improvements to destruction and graphics. Only complaint is the story felt more series while i thought this series was more comedic. Still good though.    … Expand

    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.
