Manufacturer's Description

Set in the near future, the Battlefield: Bad Company single-player campaign drops gamers into a dramatic Eurasian conflict. As part of a squad of four soldiers, players risk it all to go AWOL on a personal quest, fighting their own war within the war. Featuring a dramatic storyline flavored with attitude, Battlefield: Bad Company leads gamers far from the traditional frontlines on a wild ride with a group of renegade soldiers who decide that sometimes the gratitude of a nation just isn't enough.

The Battlefield: Bad Company cinematic single-player experience captures the freedom and intensity of the franchise's legendary multiplayer sandbox gameplay in a dynamic world where nearly everything is destructible. Gamers have total freedom to be daring and innovative, adapting to and tackling challenges in unexpected "Battlefield-style" ways. Create sniping positions by blowing out a piece of a wall or drive your tank straight through a small house. The ever-changing battlefield forces players, their teammates and enemies to react accordingly.

The game also features a full suite of the franchise's trademark multiplayer gameplay, supporting 24 players online.

Battlefield: Bad Company is the first game built from the ground up for next-generation consoles using DICE's bleeding-edge Frostbite game engine, delivering unrivaled graphics, effects and gameplay.

Well thoughtout game shame about the playability (2008-07-25)

Speaking as a veteran player (Battlefield series and CoD series) I would definitely say buy the game but don't expect everything to work the way you would expect it to. By the way I'm talking about the online game play. Singleplayer has little to offer as far as I am concerned. Visit the BadCompany Web site and check out the forums you will be able to see all the niggles the game has. Very frustrating to play the game at times. That said when I first started playing computer games a white ball was being batted from one side of the TV screen to the other (Binatone). So hey don't lets complain too much! Go ahead and buy it - it's great really. As many have said before me, if you could combine this game with the CoD4 game engine then that would be a great game .

great game (2008-07-13)

just to get this straight i also own cod4 and love it but but i think this game online rivals it and comes up to the same standards. so offline is quite short and a bit tedious but online is immense

Best FPS I've played (2008-07-12)

What can I say that hasn't been said already? The graphics are awesome (not as polished as one would've hoped) the maps are hhuuggeee and varied. The games are long and allow for team/squad work. Each class is balanced very well (frequently I can change classes during games as each class is good). There are loads of awards/medals/trophies to be earned. Unlike other FPSs (COD4) the makers don't favor one console over another. Whilst lag is a growing problem, EA/DICE seem to take on board everyone's suggestions. The ability to check your status on a PC is a great and...the ability to take screenshots whilst playing MP is another awesome feature. There are some great updates on the way which will further BFBCs dominance over other FPS.The best part about the game (I feel) is the sound. The sound quality is awesome!!!! No longer will I judge a game by its graphics but by its sounds!!!!!!!!! Just buy it...don't hesitate

Regroup at the red smoke....... (2008-07-09)

The Battlefield series has enjoyed massive success as a multiplayer PC title, but aside from a 360 port of Battlefield 2, consoles haven't experienced the franchise.Bad Company has been developed exclusively for consoles with a single player campaign unrivalled in the series history. It focuses on a group of soldiers fighting in a fictional Eastern Bloc country. They hear rumours of a hidden gold stash; and that's it really. The story is told by short, interactive cut-scenes, which are solidly done and work better than most efforts (Haze!!!).Your squad aren't the typical macho clichés either, and you may actually grow to like them before the campaign is over. They also have personal reasons for wanting the loot, which is fairly refreshing for an FPS. The campaign itself is short and for the most part, sweet. Levels are absolutely huge. However, every area has red sections; `enemy territory', that cannot be entered. This always leaves a fairly linear path to follow. Objectives are also very similar, and require little more than travelling from one point to another.Thankfully, there are various types of vehicles to travel in, and the transition is always seamless. Vehicles aren't forced upon the player either, instead providing an option to travel the maps. There is a forced helicopter mission later on, which can frustrate immensely.Dices new `Frostbite' engine provides visuals that range from stunningly attractive to decidedly average. The open spaces look realistic enough, but most indoor environments are empty and lack much detail. A golf course provides some welcome variety, but for the most part, Déjà vu persists. Identical groups of buildings are encountered throughout. Enemy animation is another low point.The level of destruction is Bad Company's unique feature. Initially its amazing, blowing holes in buildings and destroying fences previously were blocking the path. But cheap, messy thrills quickly feel shallow. Anything red explodes, which feels basic. Rocket launchers and air strikes are available, but there is still far too much reliance on red barrels to create devastation, and a formula quickly develops to overcome every set piece. The destruction can also be quite inconsistent. Some buildings collapse after slight gunfire yet others wont even be marked after firing a rocket at it.Bad Company is a better shooter than almost everything else on PS3. Obviously excluding The Orange Box and the undisputed champion, Call of Duty 4.

Fantastic FPS (2008-07-07)

Like the other reviewer, I couldn't get into FPS's until I bought this game. The game is outstanding, the graphics and sound is also very good. I like the story of 'Bad Company' as it develops well throughout the game and the characters can be funny at times as well! To be honest i'm really rubbish at the other First Person Shooters and this game falls into my boundaries quite well. Just buy the game!!! 10/10
