Glad to see you...

If the gaming industry is an automobile, and the game designers are the drivers, then that makes us, the players, backseat drivers, and we'll be damned if we're gonna let the industry keep on heading the way it's going (good or bad) without letting them know what we think. So buckle up, feel free to complain about there being no air in the back, and bring your most critical and analytical mind to the open air discussion of the current age, Backseat Gamers!

Battlefield Bad Company 2 (single player)

So i finished up the single player campaign last night...i wasnt expecting much especially after BC1 SP wasn't much to shout about however, consider me pleasantly surprised. The game takes you through a nice variety of environments, paces the game very well helped by some nice vehicle sections and nice set pieces...it might not be as Blockbuster as MW2's single player but imo it gives it a decent run for it's money. The storyline's a bit wack but it kinda fits in with the attitude of Bad Company and the characters. I love the subtle digs at MW2 which i wont spoil for anyone just listen out for them during some of the cutscenes.

There's one mission in particular that stands out for me and without spoiling too much for those who havnet played it yet it basically reminded me of the old Halo CE missions, wide open areas a joy to play thru, they way the level's designed really made me feel like i was taking part in a proper war, and i had the freedom to go about it how i pleased...kinda wish more of the game was like that. On the other hand there was one mission in particular that wasnt so enjoyable, see if anyone else has the same opinion, but it didnt harm the campaign as a whole.

So all in all, very satisfying experience...i went thru it on normal mode and did my fair share of dying but i could be tempted to go back thru on hard one day even tho there's no achievements expect for one mission.

I havent mentioned Mulitplayer for the sole reason that it's totally badass, i cant get enough of it, was lucky enough to be playing in a rush game mode the other night and we had a party of 8 screaming orders at each other and we totally destroyed the other team. It deserves it's own post entirely.

  1. I started the single-player and it was pretty fun, if not a little hard on the normal setting. Haven't gotten to far into it but I hope to complete it soon... The mp is where this game is at for me...

  2. This game owns. SP is a good time. I also played thru the first BC campaign and while it was nothing ground breaking it was a lot of fun and laughing along with the characters never got old.
