    This game is fantastic. It holds up very well and still, to this day, is a Top 3 online FPS of all time.

    An incredible FPS .Story wise the Characters are funny and likeable and the missions are fun, gameplay i think could've been polished in the UI i think is too big the FOV or weapons are giant ,but even without polishing one of the best battlefield games.

    Fantastic, I can overlook the dated cold-war-gone-hot trope because this game is a military comedy. Multiplayer basically is the entirety of the high rating.

    The game that convinced me that the Battlefield franchise destroys the Call of Duty franchise. I spent countless hours playing multiplayer. I ALWAYS go back ever so often to relive the experience.

    This game was Battlefield at it's finest. The game runs well on the Xbox 360 at 1080p and still looks good to this day. Possibly one of the best FPS games of all time. The biggest problem this game has would probably be the lack of players as of 2019. Generally, if you want more than 1v1 you'll have to wait to play on the weekends.

    Battlefield Bad Company 2 - one of the best parts of a series. Perhaps, it is the last Battlefield what it had to be, but not reskiny a gameplay of Call of Duty (BF5 became an exception). Here the best singleplayer, the best plot, excellent balance, memorable cards. It is a pity that Bad Company did not optimize under Xbox One X, otherwise the sense in BF5 was not at all.

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an excellent game. A true evolution from Bad Company. The first good move DICE did was put more emphasis on gun-play rather than vehicular combat.

While this campaign is fun for the shooty-shooty gun-gun parts, the storyline is a total snore-fest! DICE really needs to get some talented writers and directors together to create a good campaign, because the CoD and Halo franchises had great campaigns, so why can't Battlefield? Anyhow, you will completely forget about the campaign once you get started playing the fantastic multiplayer, because it is great. By incorporating true cooperation between players to win matches, rather than being a violent bloodbath like in CoD. The Frostbite engine is great. While the visuals are pretty forgettable, the destructible environments are a very welcome addition that adds to the suspense and tension of matches. Not to mention the incredible sound design! Man, the sound design in this game feels very triple-A, and a lot of effort was put into it, which is good. Overall, Bad Company 2 is a great game, which is worth every cent of the purchase price, solely because of how great the multiplayer is, especially when you play the objectively best game mode: Rush.… Expand

    Cons:
    -While good, the campaign is quite short

    Despite this game being 5 years old, it is still worthy of playing in the battlefield series. Multiplayer servers are still going strong and out of BF3 and 4, the MP action in BF2BC seems better and gives you more opportunity to survive a bit longer, whether you are a noob or a rank 50. With great vast maps like Heavy Metal and a recon's dream in Harvest Day you will have a lot of fun.Despite this game being 5 years old, it is still worthy of playing in the battlefield series.

With great vast maps like Heavy Metal and a recon's dream in Harvest Day you will have a lot of fun. (conquest and rush plus more all add great variations to how you can play) The single player game has some great some moments and the destruction physics are pretty good. Having played BC1 and 2, there is something about the characters that you enjoy, they are funny and quite frankly stupidly likeable. Single player in BF3 and 4 were embarrassing, dialogue ridiculously scripted. BF2BC is worth buying if you haven't played it, I have it on PC and 360 and always find myself returning to it after getting bored with the current MP offerings out there currently. Worth a £10 and you will have hours, days, weeks, months of fun ranking up your weapons and gadgets, helis, tanks etc. A great game.… Expand

Nowadays I gotta say, the online gaming community is a sh*thole now. People don't care about playing the objective or the actual games most people sit around, troll, or do some other annoying crap. The biggest downer about this game was that its campaign was horrible. Now I understand some people may like it and I respect that but I just thought that the whole story was pretty ridiculous.

    A solid online multiplayer FPS with a moderately enjoyable singleplayer campaign to boot. The game features a good variety of weapons and gadgets that- for the most part- legitimately feel different from one another, but the process of unlocking weapons seems quite superfluous and even masochistic given the game's base learning curve. The maps combine a comparatively impressive sense of scale with the dynamic experience of a destructible environment, along with accommodating higher player counts than its direct competitors. As with just about every other FPS, the hit detection can be a bit suspect at times and there are a few balance issues, but altogether BC2 strikes an enjoyable balance between action and tactics.    … Expand

    Not content to settle for second place, DICE throws down the gauntlet with Bad Company 2, delivering its best multiplayer package since Battlefield 2 and a remarkably improved single-player campaign that openly mocks its rival while cribbing from them at the same time. [Issue#203, p.84]

    Bad Company 2 as an online shooter is flexible and engaging, offering several features that the competition can only dream of. If you're looking for a more strategic and team-based change of pace, look no further. This is the game for you.
