How can he think a game is the best in a series if he hasn't owned any other ones in the said series
Hey! Shut up! I've played Battlefield and Battlefield 2 and I thought tht they were one of the meh-est games out there: not too good, not too bad. Bad Company changes this with cinematics and cut-scenes worthy of Speilberg himself, and voice actors of the same level. There are four other people in your squad, each with their own personality and humour. Sweetwater, the more level-headed guy with the glasses. Hubbard who makes holes in anything, even at the most inappropriate times and then there's Sarge. I'm not sure who he reminds me more of; the black guy from Predator or Johnson from the Halo series.
Now, to not beat around the flaming-exploding bush, the physics engine is one of the best I've ever seen. Fuck the Halo 3 engine and to an extent the Gold Source engine too, Bad Companies engine is detailed and brilliant in pretty much every aspect. See that house? Think you can use it as cover? WELL TOO BAD, it's already been blown to hell by that Rusky with the grenade launcher trying to figure out where you are! About 90-99% of everything is destructable, including buildings, vehicles, even the fucking ground can be churned up with an explosion. Also, the sound in this game is amazing. It's crisp and unique for each weapon.
The story is fairly basic: You're in B Company, or Bad Company, and are fighting the Russians for some..... thing that I wasn't paying attention about. Then come the Mercenaries who get paid in gold, the squad gets all big eyed and goes after some more. In doing so they literally invade a country with a one man army and go "Fuck it, we're in shit anyways, let's go get us some gold!" and like the greedy prospectors they are, they tank into a neutral country, grab some gold then get caught by the US army and taken back. Then they get thrown back into the meatgrinder to redeem themselves then when they do their mission they get cut loose. That's all I'm going to give right now, for my own reasons.
Now, past the good stuff and on to the juicy shitty parts. Enemy AI couldn't be any more basic. They either stand at windows or near a big whatever and shoot from there. Occasionaly they run to different cover or throw a grenade but not often. The even more shitty thing is, the enemies are freakishly accurate. I was shooting from the top of a fucking DAM shoot down with a sniper and about 4 out of 5 shots hit me or around me.
I've kind of..... lost my train of thought. I'm looking at Rocky 2...... Maybe I'll pick this up some other time but either way this is a MUST BUY game for Xbox or PS3 owners. Next time I might review/ first impressions of Cod4, I finally got a loan of it so I'll do the best that I can.
