There is no shortage of online destinations for those who enjoy
first-person gun-wielding combat, but no matter how many opportunities
you get to shoot another player in the face, there is always room for
one more. Especially when that one more is as exciting and intense as
Battlefield: Bad Company 2. The online multiplayer in this modern
military shooter is a standout, featuring huge maps, incredible
destructibility, powerful vehicles, and excellent sound design. These
elements combine to foster the sense that you are fighting on an actual
battlefield, making many other online shooters seem more like combat
arenas than believable war zones. Multiplayer battles are invigorating
and addictive, but they aren’t all that Bad Company 2 has to offer. The
sizable campaign takes you to beautiful and exotic locations where
you’ll be sorely tempted to take a break from shooting bad guys and
blowing things up to admire the scenery. Fans of cooperative campaign
play may miss the opportunity to play with a friend, but your hilarious
and endearing squadmates more than make up for it, giving the campaign a
rich sense of character not often found in the genre. The result is a
very entertaining adventure that, coupled with the excellent multiplayer
and top-notch technical presentation, makes Battlefield: Bad Company 2
something special in the world of shooters.
