Firstly this could have possibly been the best fps out there..the single player storyline was good and lots of fun..then theres the online gameplay..it could have been such a great game if the makers would have thought it out a bit more..its such a flawed game;
12 On each team but you can only talk to 4 of them..thats great when you've orderd a mortar strike on a building..then you see your team run in..thats just great a team game that only allows you to talk to 4 people on your squad.
The game choice is very limited gold rush or conquest.
Your not able to pick what map you want..its random..so random it sticks you in the same 2 maps all the time..
Allows to many snipers into the game.
You can set up a squad of 4 friends..but sometimes very often infact you find 2 members of the team get shoved into a different game.
Theres also the usual cant kill cetain people..all in all its a great game but its not very user friendly..when you want to play online you get what your given..you really dont have much choice apart from ranked or unranked...to put it into money terms its a £20 game and no more.

This game on single player is a adverage shot-em-up but there are problems with the online play,

(Warning rant iminant)

For example tanks can take to much damagebefore they die, people just destory walls for fun and not because they saw a person so that there are no cover when it is needed, giving spipers a item that alows them to call in airstriks on wt ever they like the same with the support power, the fact that people cn take a lot of damage, the squad systme is nt very good,

Basicly i would not recomend this to any one but if u wnt to gt a battlefield game i recomend that u get battlefield 2142 wich is a lot better in everyway

I wanted to like this game, I really did.

I loved BF2 on the PC, it was worse than crack, I couldnt stop playing it.

So; when BF:BC arrived I thought "Sweeeeeeet". "wow I can blow up buildings!"

Somehow though, it's not as fun as it should be, the single player story is, well, a bit mince really. I hated all the characters, I found the gameplay boring. And what the hell is with the health auto injector, why is this regenrate health phenomena in every bloody game now? What was wrong with health packs or a medic? There's no fear of being killed, you duck behind a wall and shoot yourself full of smack and your good to go again. Movement feels sluggish and aiming is a pig, enemy models blend in with the background a little too well making them hard to spot.

However BF games have always been about online play, which sucks here to, the gold rush mode is totally pants. What happened to the ticket system and chasing checkpoints? Not to mention the Xbox live community are as full of bile as ever. It's odd that with pretty much everyone having a headset there is little cooperation from players.

A better option would have been to have made BF 2.1 and have destructable buildings in that.

This game wipes the floor with cod 4 and 5 in every way except campaign replayability. I liked both games campaign but although they are both boring once completed, battlefields was particularly tedious. Multiplayer is the funnest thing created with much better menus and easier to understand ranks. Although there are only two game modes they never get boring(unlike cod) as theres always a different and funny story to tell your friends afterwards.overall i think that gamers need to stop comparing every game the see to cod as its simply not that good whereas bad companies multiplayer should be hailed as a triumph of laughter an variety.

This has to be my favourite FPS game of the current crop. The reason being that it uses the Frostbite game engine, with it's destructable environment. Other games now seem weird by comparison. BC is graphically superb, with great teamwork options, and now 4 brand new conquest maps via Xbox live.

One of the great FPS. Multiplayer is the best on the 360 and the campaign will definatley keep you amused for some hours and the graphics are amazing. Few glitches here and there but other than that absolutley brilliant

Being a big gamer and currently doing a degree in it, I play mostly all types of games but my faveourites like most peoples are FPS'. I played the demo of this before I got it and really like some of the factors of the game play. The fact that it felt more like a Team Game was the biggest thing I picked up on. To beat a good set of individual people you onlyy need a half good team. The only capabilities are great fun but lacking in game types. The maps are well designed with vast battlefield opportunities and great spots like 100 feet up in the air on a crane with a sniper rifle. It just seems like the game was cut short a bit to be honest. Only one gametype on the release really set it back a bit from the rest of the field. The story line is a bit boring to. EA strikes again a guess one could say. Good game but not for anythin over £25 maybe £30 depending on how much spare cash you have.

The rules of first-person shooters are changing. Videogames that engage the player in acts of war have always promised one thing; cover. During times of extreme duress the player has always had the option of retreating behind a wall or group of immovable sandbags in order to escape their assailants. Battlefield: Bad Company, the latest from the Sweden-based Digital Illusions CE (DICE), changes all that.

No longer is the inside of a house a safe haven for fleeing soldiers. Walls, sandbags, fences, and other formerly indestructible objects can now be torn down with a blast from a grenade or rocket launcher. Bad Company, while not perfect by any means, changes the formulaic gameplay of war-based first-person shooters enough to warrant the attention of the many fans of the genre.

Was very impressed with this game, especially the destructive environments.. Single player is cool as ice, and online is just too cool for school, another GREAT "HI-DEF" game (I say that cos a lot of people have the nerve to leave poor reviews without having the correct equipment (hidef TV)...
Another great game, (I only buy and review good games, so if you see my name, it's a good game, I'm a critic, hardcore gamer, and a member of the NWB which stands for nerds with birds)
you wanna play??? o KLS o ---- my gamertag

The single player campaign of this game is average, not bad but fails to be very exciting.

But its the online aspect which really excels this game. There are only 8 maps and Attack and Defend is the better of the two game modes. But it has the most depth of any online shooter, so much so that no two games on any map are the same.

A warning though, the online is better than COD4, but not as instantly accessible. You will need to play for a few hours until you start to get a grip on how the system works. But when you do you will not be disappointed.
