Review: Battlefield: Bad Company

Opinion and Analysis


In many ways, the makers of Haze should have a close look at Battlefield: Bad Company.  It is what Haze could have been , though your AI buddies are pretty stupid, they are not as stupid as your Haze mates, and the integration of vehicles (from battle tanks to golf carts) is classy, unlike the floating, uncontrollable and bland mechanised combat in Haze.

Once you play through the rather moderate length single player, DICE show that Multiplayer is where they cut their teeth. 

Featuring the new objective based Gold Rush mode, online players are divided into Attackers and Defenders in an all out hunt for gold crates.  Attackers looking to destroy the boxes of wealth.

Select one of 5 kits and jump in, each map consists of hotspots of activity as the Attackers slowly make their way from one crate to the next.  There is little down time if you are killed, and the simple but effective reward system keeps you hungry for more.

All of the toys (including the health syringe) found in the single player campaign, are available in multiplayer, but must be earned first.  Unlocking new weapons, support equipment or simply stealing a downed enemy’s kit keeps the mode fresh.  There should be plenty of mileage in Battlefield: Bad Company multiplayer.badcomp2.jpg

Like a quick shot of action film adrenaline, (let’s hope the OFLC doesn’t hear about that ) Battlefield: Bad Company is an over the top, cigar chomping, not so politically correct take on modern warfare, therefore an enjoyable video game experience.
