Good enough to drop CoD 4!
If you aren't online with xbox you might want to rent this game. It has a pretty good/halarious story line but it isn't super long. I finished it in three days and I'm an average gamer. But everyone is different and I could see someone wanting to play through it a couple times. But the backbone is definitely in the online play.
Pros:
-Pretty much everything blows up. I was worried that this feature would be the focus of the game. Luckily it plays a realistic part in the way you fight. If I feel like it, I'll pull out CoD and play for a while, but I catch myself feeling a little unsure about taking cover behind a wall... and rightfully so! Bad Company's destructible levels keeps it going at a fast pace.
-Although I enjoy it, you aren't limited to being a rifleman. You have helicopters to tanks, artillery to tow missiles, snipers to demolition men.
-Stunning sound and graphics.
Cons:
-The only complaint I have is some of the targeting. I'll be sniping from some hill or building and pull a head shot on the opposing team and the enemy will run away injured. Although I get a kill assist I'd much rather have the kill of course. Or I'll shoot missiles from a helo and they'll land 5 feet from a guys and it doesn't take him out. It really only occurs online but it can get frustrating when you're losing, lol.
-I wish they had made it rated "M". I'm sorry I just like the blood. Plus the occasional 10 year old on my team trying to tell me what to do makes me want to throw my xbox out the window.
All in all, if you like FPS there is no question you want this game.
