fun to play but you'll be saying ure goodbyes with it before long

User Rating: 6 | Battlefield: Bad Company X360
id like to start by saying that if i was rating this on its tory line i would give it a 10. Its quite simply hilarious, the way a group of unwanted soldiers that are sent into impossible situations come out on top.
But sadly im not ive gotta base my review on its stale and very unsatisfying gameplay. The story is of a reasonable length but it feels a lot longer, if youve finally obliteratd an enemy camp you ring hq. only that charming women on the radio gives you a long winded reason of why yet again you cant rest you have to go do another task that was almost exactly the same as the last.
Guns feel quite unsatisfying to shoot but there is a wide variety of weapons, the cream of the crop lying in the explosives which look beautiful. The LIFE-2 is a good idea but it makes gameplay feel very cheap if you can just stick something in u and give u health. U could argue that its similar to cod4 or halo 3 but it doesnt feel at all like that. Vehicles are one of the games strong points. tanks and helicopters are both amazing to drive/fly or shoot but theyre cheapened by the fact tjhat repair them by merely pulling out a screwdriver YES THATS RIGHT a SCREWDRIVER and fixing them. Destructable environments fit in the overall description of this game, not quite. yes its a good idea to be able to shoot through some thin materials but when you can completely tear apart a house or the house that ure in gets tore down, it does become a neausance. But for some reason you cannot shoot through walls.
the online is OK but the combination of lack of modes very unsatisfying shooting (especially sniping) and poorly designed maps (you may disagree but look closely and u'll find one end is always very sparse)
make it feel quite labourious. so overall id say MEH
