Battlefield bad company is one of those games that caught me off gaurd,
see my mind set was that it would be a tipically same game but with
different kind of tech that is added. What i didnt expect that the game
would break the formual of its traditional games with just the
mulitplayer mode but it also brings a colorful single mode story along
with it. When the story first started to unfolded itself in the game my
first throught that its kind of like the movie three kings but without
the political message of terrory. Its about these four misfit guys that
screw up somewhere else in the military that they put them all together
which was called bad company. See their job is to do all the dirty work
for the americans in the war agaisnt russian and the mercenaries. As
you find out these mercenaries are a private military force that are
know legionnaire that conducts business that involves gold. With alots
of gold in the region your outfit eschews duty and goes awol and gets
into the gold hunting business. The game tells you most of its
presentation of the story with clever dialogue,great voice acting,
terrific visuals effects and cutscense.
But before i go on i will interoduce you the characters that will
be in your outfit during the game. As you already know you meet three
interesting characters in the game, each of them has their own job
which makes the outfit more effected force during a gun fight. You play
as marlowe the new person that is sent to this outcast of misfit of a
outfit to help fight in the war agaisnt the russian. The first
character you meet is redford which people in his unit calls him
'serges' the second person you will meet is sweetwater hes more like
the technical person in the unit. the last person you meet is haggard
he loves to blow up things and he enjoys it. Bad company manages to
feel like more of a battlefield game while still preseting a good story
and multiple objective during your mission in many of the stages of the
game. Battlefield gives the players the same feeling of the large scale
of the battle which other person person shooter games doesnt, by
letting the players travel distance part of the map to reach the
objective. The game is mostly an wide-open freedom game but with some
extention, you can travel anywhere along the map but there are certain
areas where you can go into. Which is called the redzone, if you
manages to get into the zone the game gives you an 5 second timer that
will pop up and if you havent reach out the red zone the enemy
artillery will kill you right way.
The only freedom part of the game that i found interesting was the
extention of your tactical option throught the game, which contrains
large number of weapons which you can find on dead enemies or laying
around a half blow-up house. The player can have two types of weapons
which is the primary and secondary weapon, one can be a sniper,michine
gun that is mounted with a gerade luncher. The secondary weapons you
can choose from a pistol,c4 explosives, lazer,a artillery remote so on.
The game gives you alot a ammo throught all the stages which gives the
player plenty of opportunites to blow up everything in site. Which what
i think that makes this game so much fun to play giveing the toys cause
major destruction on a building or a enemy vicheles.
Many of its destruction of bad company comes over to the
mulitplayer side of the game. The online part of the game gets on the
traditional side of the other battlefield games. Presenting the online
user with many of its classes that you can play as. Like its half
brother call of duty it lets you update certain things that you can
have, switch weapon, special kind of toys that can cause destruction to
buildings and vecheles. The classes between call of duty and
battlefield are meaningful and interesting but it can only go so far
with battlefield that you dont really need any of the updates for many
of the classes. The online mode presents only kind of mode is called
gold rush, which is different from its standard online game conquests.
Each player is assigned to attack or defender roles, the attacker trys
to destroy the gold crates and the defender trys to protect the gold
cates as long as possible until the time is out. I find this mode more
interesting and much more of a struggle to win with an open area
vehicle base playplay on online. If you have played the game online
with vicheles the controls are still very hard and gets some time to
use for other then that you can hide in houses or bushes to killed or
knife someone for your own entertainment reasons. Of course it wouldnt
be a battlefield without the ranks matches, with rank matches you earn
expericence points that will grant you additional ranks which will
unlock certain weapons for each classes.
Bad Company can be pick up and enjoy from many gamers that are into
this kind of style or not. Bad Company brings the characters more life
like with its sense of humor that connects the gamer what kind of
characters they are. The only downfall of the game is the online mode
with its control of helicopters and tanks are little bit hard and can
cause frustration while playing online.
