Sometimes the gratitude of a nation just isn't enough Set in the near future, the Battlefield: Bad Company single-player campaign drops gamers behind enemy lines as part of a squad of four soldiers - risking it all to go AWOL on a personal quest. Featuring a dramatic storyline flavoured with attitude, Battlefield: Bad Company leads gamers far from the traditional frontlines on a wild ride with a group of renegade soldiers who decide that sometimes the gratitude of a nation just isn’t enough. The Battlefield: Bad Company cinematic single-player experience captures the freedom and intensity of the Battlefield series’ multiplayer sandbox gameplay in a dynamic world where nearly everything is destructible. Players have total freedom to be daring and innovative, adapting to and tackling challenges in unexpected Battlefield-style ways. Create sniping positions by blowing out a piece of a wall or drive your tank straight through a small house. The ever-changing battlefield forces players, their teammates and enemies to react accordingly.
The game also features the all new, objective based multiplayer game mode "Gold Rush", supporting 24 players online. Play as attackers and defenders and make full use of the tactical destruction as well as the unique vehicle experience of Battlefield: Bad 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. |

 More Frustrating than fun March 9, 2010
Phillip Cribb (Portland, TN.)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I played BFBC2 recently and that game was fantastic, so I thought that the first one should be good too. It started out pretty good but the more I played the more irritating it became.
1. You can only carry one gun, You can carry a rocket launcher and a machine gun but not 2 machine guns.
2. Don't even think about stealth, as soon as you knife the first enemy, every enemy within 200 yards knows your exact location and are 100% accurate.
3. You can drive nearly all vehicles but apparently you're the only one who knows how to drive, switch to the machine gun seat and everybody else just sits in the vehicle.
4. If you make it to your destination in one piece (which is usually on the other side of the map) and die get ready to travel the entire map again.
I like the second one but the first is just to frustrating to be any fun.

Battlefield Bad Company turned out to be a really fun game. The campaign is basicly a FPS, but with destructable environment, which provides a different way to approach each objective. The campaign is a decent length, about 8-10 hours, but the fun does not stop there. The multiplayer is where it's at!! It was a great game to prepare for Battlefield: Bad Company 2. I would definitely recommend this game to any FPS fans out there.
Few features short of perfect January 30, 2010

I own and play every Battlefield title with the exception of the title released for PS2 (since I no longer have a PS2). This is the first of all the games to carry a single player campaign and I absolutely love the characters in it (Haggard is extremely funny). The game runs smoothly, looks amazing and the it has the best sound regarding weapons I have ever heard (the gunshots actually sound like gun shots--with "crack, crack" instead of "boom boom")
A few things really bother me though. 1. No fixed wing aircraft. This is the first game to not have any fixed wing aircraft, only helicopters. 2. You can't choose which servers you want to go in to, you just get dropped into servers that fit a very small set of preferences. 3. The worst one is that you can't kick out jerks who have come in to your game. If someone is team killing there isn't a thing you can do about it except kill them first and get your own negative score.
I am really hoping that Bad Company 2 addresses these issues and allows kick votes and server choice. Otherwise this game is the best of the genre in my opinion. I think the CoD4 and CoDMW2's maps are too small on a warfare scale and the ability to use vehicles is extremely fun.

I really enjoy this game. I bought a copy for my teenage son and after playing his copy, I had to have it for myself, so I bought myself a copy.
I have completed the single player on all three difficulty levels and earned all of the single player trophies. I am working on my multi-player trophies now and have achieved 25th level. I have found that I am fairly good at the support kit (light machine gun, healing kit, tool for fixing vehicles, mortar strike) and the recon kit (sniper, sensors, laser guided bombs). I haven't played the demolition kit (shotgun, anti-tank mines) yet, but I can't seem to do anything with the assault kit (assault rifle, grenade launcher, health injector), or the specialist kit (SMG, tracer, c4).
The things I don't like are:
1) There are times on multi-player when I have found myself all alone (usually after finishing a very successful game and spawned in to the next game to be totally alone on my team) against an entire enemy team and it has lasted for several games before more people joined in (usually around the time I decide to quit if no one else joins).
2) The number of people on line who seem to enjoy attacking the people on their own team on purpose. I have accidentally killed people on my team when they ran into my mortar barrage after I had already launched it, or when I got hit from behind and turned and fired before realizing there were friendlies there, but some people go out of their way to attack the people on their team. Those people I find it best to run away from and try not to spawn near (if you retaliate, it costs you points and really doesn't do anything to them other than to make them have to respawn). I am willing to live with this inconvenience though because I don't like the solution to this problem that some other games took, which is to not allow you to damage your own team, because then you lose some of the tension created by trying to avoid friendly fire while still helping your team to victory. In other words, it isn't the game's fault that some people need to grow up.
