| B Company
Welcome to the 222nd Army battalion, B-company. This is where the Army rakes together all the insubordinates, hellraisers and troublemakers that won?t fit in any other unit. When the Rangers and Deltas are too expensive to waste, these guys are the first ones in.
They?re called ?Bad Company?; a mismatched bunch of rejects selected to serve their country as cannon fodder. This isn?t the kind of outfit a lot of soldiers would join voluntarily. Getting transferred to ?the B? is a punishment and a way for the generals to put all their rotten eggs in one basket.
No one starts out in Bad Company. But for some, this is where they end up. |

 Repeats the same game over and over. November 2, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
The use of items is learned mostly by trial and error. The game is weak at spots. The explosive capabilities are really incredible. The major flaw in the game is once played it keeps repeating the same game. The scenarios do not change. Recommendation is to rent the game until played through and move on to other games. Really unfortunate since this game has some real potential if some variety could be introduced.
 Better than COD4, World at War, and MGS4 for Multiplayer... October 24, 2008
Hello folks,
Even to this day, I play the PC version of BF2. It is still very fun, and I see a lot of folks on...
Sooo...It was nice to see BF4 (Bad Company) come out; I had to give it a buy. I am glad I did. The single player is just blah. Think of it as a tutorial; a place where you get used to your tools of the trade, so to speak.
But multiplayer? Ahh, yes, very nice. You see, in my view, COD4 is a toy. It is an arcade style game, with all of that up close, intense, in-your-face, run-and-gun action. And, MGS4? Come on...Why all the hype? Crappy single player mode, it was so linear, so confining...And its multiplayer? Lame. You feel like an old man running around! Massively over-hyped; It should be illegal, I tell ya!
But, BF4's MP? Class-based, land/air/sea vehicles, nearly completely destructable environments, the most beautiful sounding, wide dynamic, realistic sounds I have ever heard in a game, graphics are excellent, now has capture the flag, 24 player maps, and these maps are expansive...It's just good times for all. Really, really, really fun multiplayer!
Sometimes I just love chillin' out in the game somewhere a little off from the action, listening to the fantastic war sounds...Absolutely beautiful to the ears!
Join the fun! I miss killing you already! ;)
October 30, 2008 Update: They have just added-in a bunch more free maps! Yahoo!!!!
November 12, 2008 Update: I have been playing COD: World at War, and Bad Company is so much better. COD4 and WoW have such cheap graphics and sound. Why do so many folks play COD games? Honestly folks...Put in a COD game, even the latest one, then pop in Bad Company. See the huge difference in sound, graphics, expansive maps? BC wins hands down!
Regards,
JohnYoga
Loads of fun October 14, 2008

I play mainly FPS games, and this is hands down the most fun FPS I've ever played!
It's not "serious" like most FPS games, in that your squad is constantly shouting out corny but funny lines. The entire atmosphere is "fun". Yeah, I use the word "fun" a lot, but that's the best way I can describe this game.
Unlike COD4, which I like a lot, BC has an extensive single player campaign. The only potential negative (depending on how you view achievements) is that, unlike the Xbox version, there aren't achievements in single player.
The best part of the game is the multi-player "Gold Rush" game. It's a great change of pace from the typical "capture the flag" or "kill everyone" multi-player. The maps are extensive, and there's a ton of replay value.
The DICE engine is also great, with almost everything being destructible. This changes things considerably from most FPS games, in that (with a few exceptions), you can destroy any outer wall of any building and make your own entrance.
The gold edition gives you five weapons for multiplayer that you would otherwise get only be playing a while and "ranking up". It probably isn't worth it for most people, so go ahead and get the less expensive "regular" version (unless you find it for less, like I did).
 no keynoard mouse support ruins the game for me. August 27, 2008
1 out of 12 found this review helpful
I have played all the battlefield games on PC, and the PS3 controller just ruins this game for me which I why I gave it a one star and makes the game unplayable for me.
The PS3 can support mouse and keyboard in games, and as shown in Unreal Tournament 3 there is a lot of call for it. Why they didn't include it is beyond my understanding because it would make a lot of angry pc gamers who didn't get this new game on pc a little happier.
If they are afraid mouse and kyboards give3 the player too much of an advantage they should have ps3 controller only servers for multiplayer just like Unreal tournament III does.

I get it and respect the difference with the whole graphic engine, but the game has its flaws: less intuitive controls, kind of slopping vehicle controls, and it causes system freezes on the PS3. It fun boom
