Note: This is the way I feel about this game and this might not be as you feel. If you agree with my review or this review helped you decide about this game either way I'm pleased. But if you don't agree, don't bother sending me bad e-mails or comments just go play a game you like instead!

The battlefield franchice has always been a great multiplayer experience. I remember when i was like 13 or 14 years old and got the first battlefield game, Battlefield 1942. I sat in front of the computer pretty much a whole day trying to figure out how to download a patch.(My first online game) And when I got it to work I seriausly didn't sleep that night. I got all the expansion packs and played them online, but as the online comunity started to fade away I got intrested in other games. I didn't bother getting Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142. But when I bought a PS3 and found out that a console only battlefield game was about to release I almost sh*t my pants. Got a preorder right away. Now nuff said about me, LETS GET TO THE GAME!

I'll start with the singelplayer.
The singelplayer is about a guy named Preston Marlow(Don't know if I got that right) who did something bad and happend to be thrown to jail. He got out of jail but only if he served some time in B Company. The B Company or Bad Company as it's called is made up of people who've done bad things but where released on the condition that they would probably only live for 17 secunds when sent out to war.
The characters are great in this game you really feel a connection to them and a good sence of humor has never made a game bad.

The graphics in this game are beautiful. I'm just wishing I had a HD TV cause then we're talking! Motion capiture is great and the way things blow up just makes you happy. The sound in the game is powerfull, when you shoot an M16 at a guy five feet away you can almost feel his pain. And when tanks comes rolling you just feel you need to get out of the way cause they won't stop. In conclusion the technical aspect is great.

But it's the multiplayer experience where it's really at in this game. If you don't have internet connection too your console this game is still great, but if you have a connection you'll be happy for months! In multiplayer 95%(or more) of the enviroment is destroctable just like in the singelplayer which makes you feel vornorable even in houses and stuff.
There are one mode right now but they will release the original battlefield conquest mode soon(or they already did...gotta go check after the reveiw!) in a free update. But the mode the game was released with is Gold Rush which is a Attacker Defender mode. One team attacks 2 gold crates and when those two are destroyed they get that base and moves on to two other gold crates. They do this until either their reinforcements bar goes down too zero and they lose or until they get all the crates and they win. The defenders only defend the crates and falls back if their bases fall. And in this mist of battle you can drive all the tanks, buggys and jeeps you can find just like the other battlefield games.
The multiplayer is class based but you will still be able to unlock new weapons for you class which makes you get that "I just wanna get that new weapon" feel which can keep you up all night. All in all, if you liked the other battlefield games or just likes too shoot people in the face on big maps with tanks this game if for you!

(Note this reveiw was writen by a tierd swedish guy in the middle if the night)
