Battlefield Bad Company 2 & ? on a Server

Post by ADF-Medic »

Battlefield: Bad Company 2



Electronic Arts and development studio DICE have tossed yet another video game on the pile.
Bad Company 2 ups the intensity and visual prowess of its predecessor while still delivering one
of the most compelling multiplayer games around at this time.

An interesting experiment the original Battlefield Bad Company was a solid take on the Battlefield
franchise opting to put a new focus on a story driven single player element instead of a purely
multiplayer one. The result wasn’t quite an instant classic and had a couple of issues that kept
it from being truly great. However the framework was laid down and now Bad Company is back in this
much improved sequel that moves out of its predecessor’s WWII setting an into modern times.

Bad Company 2 ups the ante with a great graphical engine, solid AI, and a better, more cohesive
storyline. The game plays well too with solid gun mechanics and fluid controls. While there are
a few pacing problems with the single player campaign this is a great improvement over the original game.

In Bad Company 2 you play as the leader of Bravo Two squad (formerly B-Company in the first game)
as they search out a secret weapon called “Aurora” revealed in a prologue set in the Pacific Theater of
World War II. After this prologue you are put into Preston Marlow the leader of Bravo Two to search
out this weapon, a mission that will take you to a variety of locations including Russia, the jungles
of South America, and even locations throughout North America.

The single player campaign feels more linear than the one in the first Bad Company but this can be attributed
to the more cinematic approach to the storytelling. The game moves along at a pretty intense pace with
cut scenes explaining a good portion of the story while your squad mates will provide some banter and comic
relief through the campaign’s 13 missions.

The game’s CENSORED is also handled very well. Each of the weapons reacts realistically and feels great whether
you’re shooting a sub-machine gun or heavy weaponry. Another great feature is the much improved
environmental destruction model. While the original Bad Company had a fine system in place the sequel
builds upon this allowing you to not just knock down pieces of a building but blow the whole thing to the
ground so that not a piece is standing. However it’s also possible to make smaller damage to objects in the
environment which helps add to the realism.

The people who will definitely get the most out of Bad Company 2 are online arcade shooter fans as
the game delivers a reasonable multiplayer component. The game features a similar brand of
harrowing firefights as other Battlefield titles allowing tons of players to take each other on in huge
environments complete with a host of vehicles. The game features a very deep class system as well allowing
you to find a class that suits your specific game play style quite easily. Each class has their own unique
abilities that they can bring to their squad and working in tandem with your group will allow you to
strategically dominate the map. Additionally the improved environmental destruction model adds a great
new element to matches as cover can often be short-lived and razed to the ground with some heavy
explosives, meaning that you’ve always got to be on the move.

The multiplayer portion of the game is also very scalable, allowing you to customize a match pretty much
any way you want going in. You’re able to choose from a variety of different game play modes and
maps as well as upgrade your character with new weapons and special perks as you play through the
multiplayer component something that Call of Duty fans will be immediately familiar with and enjoy.

Graphically Bad Company 2 is definitely a great looking game. There are several tweaks and improvements
to the engine that make it much more of a looker than its predecessor including some great depth of field
effects and fantastic levels that add to the cinematic feel of the campaign. While there are a few hitches in the
game play including some pauses that go on a bit too long the game performs generally well at a solid
clip. However the real winner here is the destructible environment which is a great touch that adds to the realism.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 is definitely an improvement and a solid experience for any shooter fan.
While the single player campaign could still use a little more the multiplayer will keep you coming back.

Should we sacrifice the HONOR we pay for on the AA3 server to fund the BBC2 server ? as nobody
