I am a Battlefield veteran, having played 1942, Road to Rome, Secret Weapons, Desert Combat (mod), 2, Spec Ops, and 2142. I love me some Battlefield. Now when I saw Bad Company for consoles, I was skeptical because I was not sure how well it would be adapted for use with a controller, but I downloaded the demo and shot a chopper out of the sky with an RPG. At that moment, I had to own this game. Bad Company is both multiplayer and single player and I will deal with the latter first. The single player campaign does a good job of getting you familiar with the way the different weapons and vehicles behave so it is worth it to go through for this reason alone. The story isn't all that interesting so just think of it as boot camp. Now onto multiplayer! This is what I call a real sandbox game. There is no story in the multiplayer, you just flat out blast other players away or get blasted yourself. You can do any number of things, from driving a tank to flying a chopper to pounding the sand with your assault rifle. It is about as fun as you can expect it to be. The rewards system is rock solid and you can pick and choose the weapons that suit your favorite playing style as you level up. Then if you get bored playing the Gold Rush multiplayer variant, you can switch to what I call Real Battlefield with the Conquest mode. Because Battlefield games were born on the PC, Bad Company is going to be compared to those iterations and maybe unfairly at times. Yet I can say without a doubt that this is incessantly amusing and a real pleasure to play when you get the hang of things. Pros: Excessively fun multiplayer battles with up to 32 players and all that entails. Cons: No parachutes from Choppers. No lying prone.
