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.
