| B Company
Welcome to the 222nd Army battalion, B-company. This is where the Army rakes together all the insubordinates, hellraisers and troublemakers that won’t fit in any other unit. When the Rangers and Deltas are too expensive to waste, these guys are the first ones in.
They’re called “Bad Company”; a mismatched bunch of rejects selected to serve their country as cannon fodder. This isn’t the kind of outfit a lot of soldiers would join voluntarily. Getting transferred to “the B” is a punishment and a way for the generals to put all their rotten eggs in one basket.
No one starts out in Bad Company. But for some, this is where they end up. |

 Best online game I've ever played April 11, 2009
S. Clark (Austin, Tx USA)
As much as I like the COD series, I like this better. The online
game is the best!
But don't buy the gold edition. Waste of an extra $10 imo. You'll wind
up getting all the weapons anyway.
 it's BIG , it's BAD & it's FUN February 7, 2009
Nawaf S. Soliman (Kuwait)
u can describe it just like my title described it ,it's soooo fun to play .i recommended for ppl still didn't played it. but the question is "is there ppl still playing it online ?" if so GO & BUY IT ;)
I'm Hooked on Multiplayer December 17, 2008
Shortbus (Florida)
I bought this game on a whim during a Gold Box special. I've never been a big fan of 1st person shooters or online gaming so I was skeptical about how much I would actually enjoy it. Needless to say my fears were unfounded because I have been hooked on this game since day 1. I can't really say much about the single player campaign because honestly the multiplayer is so fantastic that I haven't even made it past the opening scenes of the solo game. It took me awhile to get the hang of the controls mainly because as I said I don't really play these type of games often but once you have them figured out it is pretty intuitive IMO. The graphics are great and as others have said the sounds are among the best I've ever heard in a game (I especially love the AA guns and the Barrett M95 sniper rifle!).
Unfortunately the game does have a few issues. Sometimes (rarely) I get lag on the online games which makes them nearly unplayable. There also does not seem to be a way for the servers to even out the games so occasionally you will be playing a round and all of a sudden most of your team or the other team is gone. Usually this is straightened out within a round or two though as other players sign on. There are a few other issues that others have mentioned that are apparently lacking in this game but being new to online gaming they don't really bother me as much as they may others.
Overall I'd say this is a five star game if they could just fix those minor issues with the online play. In the meantime it gets four stars from me and a hope that either some updates or a sequel gets released soon. If you're looking for an all around great time waster though don't hesitate to pick this one up!
 Repeats the same game over and over. November 2, 2008
Clasical Affectionado (Mid-Atlantic)
0 out of 2 found this review helpful
The use of items is learned mostly by trial and error. The game is weak at spots. The explosive capabilities are really incredible. The major flaw in the game is once played it keeps repeating the same game. The scenarios do not change. Recommendation is to rent the game until played through and move on to other games. Really unfortunate since this game has some real potential if some variety could be introduced.
Better than COD4, World at War, and MGS4 for Multiplayer... October 24, 2008
John Yoga
Hello folks,
Even to this day, I play the PC version of BF2. It is still very fun, and I see a lot of folks on...
Sooo...It was nice to see BF4 (Bad Company) come out; I had to give it a buy. I am glad I did. The single player is just blah. Think of it as a tutorial; a place where you get used to your tools of the trade, so to speak.
But multiplayer? Ahh, yes, very nice. You see, in my view, COD4 is a toy. It is an arcade style game, with all of that up close, intense, in-your-face, run-and-gun action. And, MGS4? Come on...Why all the hype? Crappy single player mode, it was so linear, so confining...And its multiplayer? Lame. You feel like an old man running around! Massively over-hyped; It should be illegal, I tell ya!
But, BF4's MP? Class-based, land/air/sea vehicles, nearly completely destructable environments, the most beautiful sounding, wide dynamic, realistic sounds I have ever heard in a game, graphics are excellent, now has capture the flag, 24 player maps, and these maps are expansive...It's just good times for all. Really, really, really fun multiplayer!
Sometimes I just love chillin' out in the game somewhere a little off from the action, listening to the fantastic war sounds...Absolutely beautiful to the ears!
Join the fun! I miss killing you already! ;)
October 30, 2008 Update: They have just added-in a bunch more free maps! Yahoo!!!!
November 12, 2008 Update: I have been playing COD: World at War, and Bad Company is so much better. COD4 and WoW have such cheap graphics and sound. Why do so many folks play COD games? Honestly folks...Put in a COD game, even the latest one, then pop in Bad Company. See the huge difference in sound, graphics, expansive maps? BC wins hands down!
Regards,
JohnYoga
