Video Game Reviews of Battlefield: Bad Company

Customer Review: Most fun I have had in a while
Summary: 5 Stars

I normally like to finish a game before reviewing it, but I can say that Battlefield: Bad Company is awesome and there is no point in me finishing it. This is absolute fun. RPGs going over your head. Your squad talking up a storm. You trying to run away from tanks. Getting blown-up and then getting shaken up because of the blast. In a short couple of words. Forget COD4, I think this is the most realistic game I have played. I haven't been in combat before, this has to be close. I have played most of the the popular FPS console games; Rainbow Six, COD, Ghost Recon, Halo and this will certainly satisfy me for a while.

I have seen the bad reviews on Amazon and I don't get it. Who cares that it isn't COD4. Call of Duty was so scripted anyway. It almost wants a first person shooter but an adventure game.

Bad Company is not hard, but it is fun to see if approaching a hotspot makes it easier on you. For example, I normally don't like using the vehicles (Tanks, etc) but if you do, they make it a lot easier.

Pros:
* Awesome sound
* Awesome gameplay and realistic environment
* Fun
* Funny story and characters

Cons:
* Horrible, horrible worthless friendly AI. The enemy AI seems pretty good to me. I saw an enemy soldier walk right up to the friendly and the friendly soldier didn't do anything.
* Maybe too realistic and chaotic. You can't tell what is going on.
* Stupid reviewers on Amazon, who want COD5.

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.
