    Got the game here, so far it's fairly good!
    The first level is like the demo but with a fair bit more, like arty guns!!!
    They is fun!

    So far it's decent
    The AI are all near retarded though, especially friendlies.
    Sounds are amazing,
    Destruction is decent, not far off crysis if you ask me.
    Graphics for a console are quite nice.
    I still think it's very zoomed up.
    Vehicles are fun and easy enough to control.
    Many modern weapons some have yet to be used and some that didn't make production(xm8).

    All round 85% by me.
    Havn't tried mp yet though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    Mp is pretty dam good.
    They didn't water it down like frontlines
    Everything is as destructible and it's great, very little lag and you only notice it in extreme cases.

    There's a ranking system and you unlock weapons and alike.
    As a whole it's similar to BF2 i feel.

    I think I might pick up a copy of this then, lots of people seem happy with it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭Martron


    got the game. graphics ok. still plays like battlefield. i love the destructible buildings. AI is retarded. possibly too arcady. have it on medium. still too easy. will up the level.

    worth a buy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,480 ✭✭✭projectmayhem


    haven't really bothered with the SP portion of the game. i honestly bought this purely for the MP... which is superb. better then cod4, imo.

    bad company reminds me of the first time i got into bf2...

    would agree that the mp is better than cod4 but not too sure about the sp.
    i loved bf2 mp ( had it on ps2 and its was probably the only game that ps2 worked fine with online ) i spent too much time playing it and bad company is shaping up to be the same. i really like the gold rush game mode. i hear they are bringing out a patch with a territories type game mode aswell but i don't know how much truth is behind it.

    You're thinking of BF2:Modern Combat, not the real BF2.

    warning to anyone that is buying this just for sp....... dont. repetitve......boring.....too easy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    Yeah sp you can see they had a problem with AI targeting and the whole destroying walls part, they would shoot at a wall where the enemy is on the other side and alike.

    But on the mp side of things this game knocks cod4's socks off, put them on, then pentrate from the rear.

    I only play cod4 on console only to play with friends who i usually wouldn't see but this game i'd happyly play by my lonesome!

    what the hell does the mtn-55 do.?

    anyone come to that yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    No idea what it is, so no sorry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭Martron


    its a grenade style weapon. in crash and burn mission after the helicopter crash


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    Still don't know it.....
    I would check the game but left it in my friends house foolishly enough....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭Martron


    cant evn find anything on the intro web


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭Martron


    its a friggin motion detector


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    That yoke!!
    Hadn't a clue what it was until i played mp when the guy shouts "motion sensor away"!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,930 ✭✭✭Martron


    yeah its totally useless in sp.

    one thing that i have noticed and is beginning to really bother me about the ai..... they are so retarded.

    for example if i am in an armed vehicle and i hop out to repair it. everyone else does too. would it not make sense to stay on the heavy gun.

    and also if i swap from driver seat to a gun. nobody takes control.

    the game would be far better with a simple command interface like rainbow six or something where you can tell them to do stuff rather than them follow you around like headless chickens

    Trading it in soon.....its lost all of its appeal.

    I got me a console just so I could play this and it was worth all the bother. I liked single player, felt strange to be playing a BF game in single player.
    But it really shines in Multiplayer, way better than COD 4. I havent touched my COD since getting bad company. Perhaps ill try COD out again today just for comparisions.

    You come from a bf2 background so your going to prefer bf more than likely. cod is run and gun on most parts besides search & destroy. bf:bc is team based and tatical.. even though most of the people playing it arent.

    got it too and like it..especially the sniper/support kits with the Mortar and TV missile unlocks..huge advantage over the rest of the kits in my opinion..

    so if they're any ps3 owners and they fancy a few games online now and then add me to friends list if you'd like..

    Anyone notice that nobody talks in bad company??? Its annoying!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    What do you mean nobody talks?
    Online?
    There's loads i think.
    Besides i like it that way.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,728 ✭✭✭dazftw

    Can't find the bloody m24...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,091 ✭✭✭brian plank


    is it true theres only one game type in online multi player?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,778 ✭✭✭Sod'o swords


    Indeed it is true, but soon there will be the all famous conquest mode!
    Besides in the one game type they have there's more teamwork and alike than any of cod4s or all put together in fact!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,874 ✭✭✭✭PogMoThoin


    Is this available on pc, or is it consoles only?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 413 ✭✭Skittle

    Downloaded the new maps but havent played them yet.. anyone here given them a go yet?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,475 ✭✭✭✭Blazer


    Found it very boring after a while.
    Barring the MG and the Sniper upgrades the rest of the gun upgrades are crap and are worse than the standards guns...especially assault.
    Grand for console users but since I also play BF2 on the pc I was bored pretty quickly with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 60 ✭✭frozenbullet


    UNREAL game !!:D
