You love multiplayer FPS? Welcome to paradyse. Most immersive. Most innovative.
The action is tight and packed and open and overwelming at the same time. There is no words to describe what it is like being inside a building, defending a position with your squad members while getting teared down to pieces by an T80 russian tank when suddenly the rest of your group comes to help with choppers, RPG 7, grenades, things start to collapse, vehicles start to blow up in 2000 pieces, while you are in the middle hearing every single detail of what is happening and suddenly when you thought everything was a lost hope your team pushes the enemy back and leads to an awesome movie like ending.
But it doesn't end. It is pretty much like that every single time there is action on your screen.
There are several game modes. All of them based with a multiplayer game setting in mind.
Rush and Conquest (16vs16 players) game modes are the most fun and therefore the most popular.
In Rush mode, maps are divided in several sections, each one with two points to be destroyed. When the attacking team succesfully accomplish this objective, the defending team is moved to a point behind in the frontline making it so "the new" frontline.
In Conquest mode, Russian Forces and USA fight to control several points scattered around the map. With both team spawning at the beginning on a pre set no cappable base.
The number of tanks/vehicles is higher than in Rush mode.
Expect a very worked Server Browser with all kind of options to choose from. From hardcore mode, to servers in your region, pings filter, and so on.
There are 50 levels (that servers for no real purpouse actually, just to brag or show that you have some game knowledge).
A miriad of weapons, kit tools, soldier enhancements, weapon enhancements to unlock as you fun your way throught the levels.
Voice in game supported.
Graphics:
Expectacular. You can't belive this game looks so good and runs so smooth with a meagre ATI 4850 at 1920x1080
Sounds:
There is no other game in the market that comes close by a mile in this aspect. You must play the game to understand what I'm trying to convince you about. Immersive and stunning. You will think you are a real soldier on a real battlefield.
FunFactor vs Frustrating Factor >FF<
A lot of people come by and spread their thoughts about many things they consider broken:
Knive hits not taking place.
Bullets not doing any kind of damage.
Infinite glitches...
I've been playing since day 1. And although it doesn't make me an expert on anything, it gives me perspective about this.
Most problems people experience are computer/internet related or plain their own fault.
Now, those that really exist:
Sometimes even though you have a good latency/ping with the server, your knive hits won't count. This is very frustrating for many people, me included. But you get used to it.
Bullets sometimes will hit your target, make his blood splatter but it won't reg as a legit hit. 99% of the time is your high latency/ping or servers lag. Only is own games fault that hits do not register to head when your target is crouching and moving at the same time. Thats a bit annoying and haven't been fixed.
In summary:
Null singleplayer.
One of the best FPS multiplayer out there right now. Fast, tight, espectacular, fun. Take and play. You got only 30 mins a day to play in the computer? This is your game.
Play with your friends or with your team, teamwork is always rewarded.
The number of maps is perfect with DICE including more and more from time to time.
If you like FPS multiplayers: Battlefield Bad Company 2 is a
MUST HAVE.
