.... O.o That wasn't a bad review. 8.9 is not a bad score. Just because the reviewer doesn't agree w/ you (or the comment writers on that video) by not saying the game is 'OMG WTF SUP3R AW3S0M3 BBQ SAUC3!' doesn't mean his review isn't pertinent. Battlefield games have always been focused on MP - and he said the MP was great. But if you are looking for SP then his down factors have merit. He makes some minor comparisons to MW2 and that makes him a MW2 fan boy bashing BF? Sounds like you and the comment makers on that video are BF Fanboys bashing anyone who doesn't see BFBC2 as the 'next coming of teh pwner'

Well it is a BC 2 review but I'm not sure what a console review would prove on the PC forum.

And it's not MW 2 fan bashing, Dice wanted it to be like this, if they want to compare themselves with MW 2, why shouldn't the reviewers compare every single aspect of BC 2 with MW 2? The abrupt ending when your team wins or loses online does suck for immersion, but really, is that even a bad or good thing? the game just ends no use bringing that up, it's not a major part of the game, it just means the game ended.

The only thing I found weird is the complaint that the campaign is too short, how can you compare it to MW 2 and complain the BC 2 campaign is too short when MW 2 is the same :/.

I don't really care about either games, but the review sounded good. He was only negative about the campaign, but who buys an FPS for its campaign....I don't even know why companies waste their time on it. It would be better spent putting more stuff into the multiplayer aspects.

from what i hear from some people who acquired the game, the single player in bad company 2 blows mw2 out of the water. Considering the single player in mw2 is pretty meh, it doesnt take much.

I thought that review sounded pretty good, some comparisons but not enough to where it hurt the review. I think it's pretty clear that DICE and EA wanted to step it up with BC 2 and take on MW 2, so the comparisons should be expected.

The score is fair, but what's with this idiotic video review?

I like how he says "YEAH, MULTIPLAYER IS THE MAIN FOCUS OF THIS GAME" at the very beginning, and then proceeds to talk about singleplayer for almost the entire review. What a joke.

Yeaaaah, that struck me as well.. So Modern warfare 1 & 2 was the first multiplayer game with perks and such? And what throne is he talking about? I never knew MW1 & 2 brought so much to the FPS genre.

.... Whats the problem? They gave it a 8.9, and the only thing they said about the campaign which compared it to the original bad company.. The only fanboys here are you, he gave legitimate reasons why he didn't like certain aspects he gave it a 8.9 for crying out loud...

Probably something to do with the fact that Modern Warfare 2 is the most played FPS game on the PS3 and 360 and before that it was Modern Warfare 1. That's the throne.

It is after all... a console review.

Yeah chances are its the most popular thing out right now, so using it as a example or a benchmark is a good idea when comparing Bad Company 2 with something the viewer probbalby played recently..

There is no point? how so? DICE compared themselves with MW 2 every chance they got, it's the "MW 2 killer" it would be unfair to them (DICE) not to compare it with MW 2.

You saw the IGN review, and yet you "avoid going to IGN". Interesting.

That's what happens when you're the king of the FPS world (whether or not you agree). I personally think BC2 will poop over MW2 in terms of campaign and MP (I loved the betas/demos and the MW2 campaign stunk so that should be easy).

I still don't understand how sites can review games so heavily focused on MP a week early. Did the guy even play all the maps? Was it like 2v2 over LAN?
