As the action begins players have their pick of four distinct character classes, and weapons, gadgets and specializations. Within these, players have over 15,000 kit variations to discover, and will be able to fine-tune their preferred fighting style to give them the edge in combat that they will need to survive and prevail. In addition, new vehicles like the all terrain vehicle (ATV) and the UH-60 transport helicopter allow for new tactics, which players are free to choose from. As players fight through mission play they will level up their playable character through the ranks as they accumulate experience points in combat for enemies eliminated and objectives completed. Excellence in the battlefield is rewarded with an extensive range of pins, insignias and stars to unlock along with 50 dedicated ranks to achieve. Battlefield 2 also features a major multiplayer component. Along with standard 24-player online multiplayer options across eight maps, players can also compete in 4-player teams in 2 exclusive squad-only game modes, fighting together to unlock exclusive team awards and achievements. During these online battles players can spawn on your squad to get straight into the action, and use gadgets such as the tracer dart in-conjunction with the RPG to devastating effect. Taken together these features make for one of the most realistic ground/vehicle combat experiences ever.

The New Frostbite Engine
Tactical destruction in Bad Company 2 is taken to new heights with the updated DICE 'Frostbite' engine. Unlike in the first game in the series, which featured considerable, but limited destructible game environments, in Battlefield Bad Company 2 players can now take down entire buildings or create their own vantage points by blasting holes through cover, thereby delivering a unique dynamic experience in every match.

Key Features

  • 8 huge multiplayer maps. Each with a different tactical and gameplay focus and set across a variety of environments.
  • Ultimate online vehicle warfare. 15 land, sea and air vehicles, each with a tactical advantage during play. Race into action with the ATV or rain death from above in the UH-60 transport helicopter with its 2 side-mounted rail guns.
  • Intense single player action in dense jungles to snow-torn mountains, following the mature "B" Company on a daring new mission.
  • All-new squad gameplay. Team up with 3 other players and fight together to unlock special awards and achievements in 2 squad-specific game modes.
  • Destruction 2.0. Take down entire buildings, create firepoints or blow it up entirely. In Battlefield Bad Company 2 there is be no place to hide.

1 out of 5 stars total crap   September 5, 2010
Cicero (Philadelphia)
I can't believe they released this - so far, maybe 5 hours into trying to make it work, I can find no servers and playing single player there are lots of problems, especially if you try to use a joystick. Worse, the support sites are just awful - without the user community, I'd have no idea how to solve the problems I am seeing.


5 out of 5 stars Another great Battlefield game   August 31, 2010

I used to live on Battlefield 2, but drifted away from gaming after a while. Upon building a new machine, I decided to pick this up.

Likes:
Graphics are pretty good, and runs very well on my AMD x3 system with a GFX460 video card (1gb), and 4gb of ram (with w7).
Single player story is really well done and draws you in - and the opening is freaking amazing.
Very atmospheric gameplay, especially with destructible environments.
Great selection of weapons in single player, as well as multiplayer with unlocks.
The extra unlocks besides weapons are a great addition. Scopes, sights, explosives, and more.
Enemy AI in singleplayer is fairly good, even on lower difficulties, which still make for a fun challenge.
Dialog in singleplayer is sometimes quite hilarious.
Knifing someone has gotten a lot easier now that it's bound to a separate key; no having to switch weapons just to knife someone.

Dislikes:
Cutscenes sometimes have you clipping into boxes or barrels, which detracts from the atmosphere in singleplayer.
Some stuff (quietly knife this guy, look out for this truck) will require a couple of attempts because they rely on chance in singleplayer. Luckily, it's right before an auto save point on all accounts, so no biggy.
No bots for offline multiplayer. I was spoiled be BF2, and would like to practice offline before I hop in and try my hand online (Nobody in my social circle has a high-end enough PC for this game).
With all the variety in weapons, I still found myself sticking to the same 2 for the most part (unless forced to use otherwise).
Singleplayer game is short.



5 out of 5 stars Best game of 2010   August 31, 2010

If you buy only one game for your computer and you have Internet Access, then this should be the game.

1) Realistic and beautiful environments that don't seem like computer animation.

2) Realistic combat action.

3) You can affect the environment itself with your weapons including destroying some buildings.

4) You can use tanks, helicopters, and boats.

Only issue I have is that some of the helicopters seem to be very hard to fly.

This would be a very good game if it worked!!! The only thing that I could get worked was the sniper. I couldn't get anything else worked and it doesn't seem that many other people play either, the games were quite void of players. It seems that they have to put in swearing to make it realistic and then they do other things that are soo unrealistic!!! The best game so far is Call of Duty 4.


5 out of 5 stars New battlefield fan!   August 12, 2010

I am fairly new to fps games it all started when I set out to build a custom pc then with windows rating system damn that rating! Any how updated my onboard video to a below average video card then purchased cod world at war that's when it all started. Now with an above average video card HIS hd4670 I purchased BATTLEFIELD BAD CO 2 and a new fan was made. Single player ok but multiplayer is awesome sure you start off as a target spending most your time waiting to respawn generally about 12 seconds but once you start ranking up thats when the fun starts all the player options from medic,recon,assault or engineer each serving a purpose. My personl favorite engineer and medic I love taking out choppers and tanks without tracers. You really have to have all your drivers updated video and sound as well as install punkbuster, first install worked like a charm no issues occasionally it would kick me from a server no reason VERY FEW TIMES nothing to complain about though. The game is difficult I'll give it that I currently rank 32 and still my kill to death ratio is awfull at 0.93 percent almost an even 1/1 but I still really enjoy game even when getting spanked I don't play it for hours just for fun but there are serious gamers and of course your evil snipers. I USUALLY RESPAWN AS A SNIPER MYSELF AND SNIPE THEM BACK LOL ;) Most people don't know how to work as a squad but if you know how you will dominate the game. Usually I don't squad up unless I see my squad knows how to play as a "squad" working toward an objective then I help out and stay with the squad. All in all very fun to play online no issues with connection or loading times with game for me would recommend.
