If you want a strong single player story, I would suggest another game like Mass Effect 2; but Bad Company 2 has a reasonable single player. The main focus of this game would be the online pitting you against people shooting at you, tanks blowing stuff up and the endless fun with the choppers. The game play may not be realistic, but once you dig your feet into the system and teamwork; this game will be awesome especially if you have friends. The replay value is very high, because you earn XP from doing almost anything that earn you new perks and guns. Also knifing someone for their dog tags never get old.
Great game, much better than Call of Duty in my opinion, but those games are also very different from each other. Call of Duty is more arcade-y with small teams on small maps and quick matches. Battlefield is more strategic with large teams on very large maps and games that can last for 30+ minutes. Battlefield is also much more balanced than the newer Call of Duties, but there are also fewer guns and attachments to deal with. Overall I would say I prefer Battlefield Bad Company 2 more than Modern Warfare 3 or any of the other recent shooter. It's just a good game.

Battlefield Bad Company 2 was a great game, I highly recommend it for any fan of shooter games, but video issues detracted from game play (I was using an Nivdia 8500 with 512MB of video memory). There were some dropped frames and some shadows, shading, and blank areas, but the game was still very enjoyable. It is very good, but not as good as the first game. Of course it could be that the video problems caused me to think the first game was better. I had played the first game on Xbox 360 and PS3. I would recommend the console versions over the PC version just because of the video problems. In the past I have played PC games without any video problems, games like: Crysis Warhead, Call of Duty 4 modern Warfare; Dead Space, Mass Effect 2, Bio Shock 2, and more. But for some reason Battlefield Bad Company 2 had the video problems. (but I did get the PC version for $25.00 less than the console version.) There appeared to be more cursing and more religious bias than in the first game. For example: in one part a team-member compares belief in Jesus to belief in the Easter Bunny. And the four letter words were very plentiful.Read full review
The game has something most don't - destructible terrain. Once you get past that, for every obvious shot taken by the single-player 'campaign' script writers, you have an equally annoying flaw in the game or it's design. Some of these issues carry over into multiplayer, or are overshadowed by entirely different problems (spawning in Multiplayer becomes particularly cumbersome when you find yourself being spawn camped - as you'll be dead before you've even loaded from the selection screen). All in all, this game is a poorly hashed port from console to pc and I wouldn't purchase it or any other game in the series again. If given the opportunity by EA to either receive a free copy of all of their battlefield games to date, or my money back on this particular title - I'd opt for a refund. That isn't to say it's entirely garbage. The long distance characteristics of the sniper and vehicle rounds are amusing. Almost "realistic", but again shortcomings abound - where regular munitions (bullets) are implemented: sniper and vehicle rounds are the only one's that seem to respond to gravity at all. The rest feel like they zip along in a straight line and vanish at some point.Read full review
This title is DICE's answer to MW2, and what an answer it is! The sound effects in this game are the best that I have ever heard. The visuals are stunning. The combat is simply fantastic. Although you may not always be with your squad, you always feel like you are playing on a team. The distinct classes facilitate cooperation by giving each player a role. Assault is the class for ammunition and straightforward shooting. Engineer is the anti-vehicle and repair class. Medic keeps you or alive or brings you back. Recon spots and snipes (and uses C4). All that is the good stuff, now for the bad. Unlocks. You have to unlock some fairly critical items in multiplayer. For example, the repair tool has to be unlocked for the engineer. Now, it does not take too much time to unlock any of the core tools, but it will take a little. Also, the game does have a learning curve. As 1up.com said, this game goes at 40fps whereas MW2 goes at 60fps. What does that have to do with difficulty? You have to think and work together or you will die! Once you are used to thinking and then leaping, this game delivers an exceptional mutliplayer experience. A quick word on the single player campaign. It was rock-solid. Although not an epic, it was fun and interesting. I might never played the single player campaign in MW2 again, but I am already playing Bad Company 2's a second time. PS Dedicated Servers + PC = happy player :)Read full review
