BATTLEFIELD BAD COMPANY 2 ONLINE PC
Except we didn't get Battlefield: Bad Company, the series betraying its PC roots in favour of a console-only spin-off.Ī lighter affair than the core franchise, Bad Company saw you playing one of four ne'er-do-wells thrown together in the name of war and inevitably overcoming the odds with explosive action and comedy one-liners. Since then we've had Vietnam, 2142, back to 1943, Modem Combat, Special Forces, something about Heroes, and of course Bad Company. That was in 1942, fighting World War II in a game that pioneered online military-based multiplayer action. Time Was You knew where you stood with Battlefield. If you're being chased in such a manner, you probably deserve it. This man on a quad-bike is being chased by a gunship.Ddoes not condone being chased by a helicopter while riding a quad bike. Fire is awesome too, but very dangerous, so if you can try to get smoke without fire, it's definitely for the best. Smoked OutĭICE'S Frostbite engine is set to deliver all manner of battlefields, from frosty to sandy, in lovely smoky detail. Does not condone the accessorising of weapons, as warfare and fashion should not mix. That bloke's gun is one of up to 46 weapons that the player may wield and customise with up to 200 accessories, such as that grenade launcher. Does not condone this either, although crashing into things can be very funny. Mow'em Down!īad Company 2 gives you a choice of 15 different vehicles with which to crash into rocks, teammates and other vehicles. However, does not condone the destruction of the environment, and this man is clearly just a vandal. The Bigger Picture Ground Goes Boomīad Company 2 boasts environments that can be blown to even smaller bits than before. With a free-roaming approach to its battles, destructible environments and lots and lots of guns, perhaps the Battlefield series' walk on the wild side isn't such a bad thing after all. However worry not, for the prodigal franchise returns to us, at least in part, with the crossplatform release of Battlefield: Bad Company 2.Īll that time spent on the wrong side of the tracks has taught it a few dirty new tricks, resulting in a flashier incarnation that draws upon the depths of Battlefield's PC heritage, but adds a Call of Duty-esque cinematic flair to the proceedings. Like an unruly teenager, the Battlefield series was led astray and found itself lost and confused in the land of the console. "How can there be a Bad Company 2 when I do not recall a i?" The answer is that Bad Company 1 didn't exist for those of us who follow the righteous path of the PC. You May Cry Out, "Bad Company 2? What nonsense is this?" reading the title of this page.

Not so much music, but the sounds of gunfire, rubble hitting the floor and vehicles screaming past you. The visuals are backed up with a great soundtrack. The first time I experienced this it was a real holy crap moment that is for sure. I would not say that Battlefield Bad Company 2 is the best looking game in the series, but it still looks great! What I really like about the game is the destructible environments, being in a building when it comes down is amazing. I think that Dice may be number one when it comes to making amazing looking games. I liked playing with people that I actually knew as it was a lot of fun planning and executing attack plans. I love stuff like this! It really makes Battlefield Bad Company 2 a game that you simply must play as a team. You may have a badass tank, but unless the engineer is keeping it running it is not going to last long. You may want to rush an enemy, but you will not get very far unless the medic is keeping his squadmates healed. Getting new weapons and skills is very addictive, but it is actually really embracing the role of your class that makes it fun.Ī great example of this is playing as the medic. Each class is pretty self-explanatory, but each class has its own progression. You have four classes to chose from and these are assault, recon, engineer, and medic. What I really like about the Bad Company series is the fact that it insists you play not just as your class, but as your team as well.
