The Battlefield series has finally returned home in it’s latest release. Supporting a whole new single player story line as well as up to 32 player online gameplay, Battlefield Bad Company 2 has really brought a new edge to gaming.
While the single player mode follows a linear, yet action packed story line, the online gaming mode offers a brand new leveling system. Points are awarded for kills, kill assists, reviving, healing, repairing and achieving objectives. Bonus points are awarded for specials like head shots and achieving objectives.
Rather than earning unlocks as you progress up the ranks like Battlefield 2 and 2142 you must play with a specific class to earn unlocks with it. As you continue to earn points with that class you unlock new weapons and gadgets.
At this point in time there are still some bugs being ironed out with the online play as there tends to be when these games are first born. Nothing like a few 100,000 gamers to give a game a thorough thrashing.
Personally, I really enjoy the graphics and new features like recoil. I also like how bushes and explosions in appear even in the distance, unlike in BF 2 and 2142 where you would think you were hiding in some shrubbery. However 500m from you in a snipers scope all that is seen is you lying in the open on a hill. Now you may hide in the bushes and snipe your heart out while being quite well camouflaged.
Single player plays like Call of Duty with no hit points and only 2 weapons being carried at a time. The story line is fairly standard but being able to blow apart every building you see does not get boring.
