this is a horrible game. i cant believe I spent [...] dollars to play this horrible game the graphics look like Atari Jaguar and the servers aren’t good at all. back to Cod 4 i go.Thanks for nothing ea
Here’s the deal.
This game has a few things going for it.
It is cool to blow big holes in the side of buildings. I am also a big fan of shooting the trees down. The single player has some moments that are kind of funny. The graphics are not on par with the great shooters, but they are still pretty good.
My complaints with the game are as follows.
Ok first off it seems like my guys top speed is a breath taking 2 mph, 3 mph if I am sprinting. The graphics are not all that great. The controls are sloppy and it is hard to be very accurate. Some of the things they put in the game to be clever are just stupid. Like the injector that heals you, which means you have to put away your gun to heal yourself. This wouldn’t be so bad if I wasn’t using the damn thing every 10 seconds. Also the vehicle repair tool that you just grind against the side of a car to make it run again. What’s the point of that? If you want to stab someone the knife stays in your hand so you have to pull out your gun again. Also the multiplayer sucks, blow up gold crates…. Whatever. I hear they are releasing new modes, but who cares when the game play is this bad.
Anyways, maybe I am just spoiled from Halo and COD4. But it feels like they rushed this game out. I recommend that you keep your money and wait for the really good games this fall.
I play a lot of these kind of games, but I thought this game sucked. I couldn’t get into it at all. I tried playing it online as well and just hated this game. You can’t even change the controller configuration or brightness, which made me hate it even more. If I could give this game negative stars, I would.
I guess it depends on the player though, since a friend of mine highly recommended this game.
I really REALLY wanted to like this game.I saw the commercials with the sharp graphics and witty funny dialogue and thought ‘This is going to be a great game’ right?WRONG!And I am sorry to say this.Now,I play a lot of first person shooter games and some are better than others obviously.But I’ve never played one that had so much promise and failed in almost every concievable way possible.Now,before I get to the terrible parts let me start with the very few positive available.
Lets start off with the graphics.They are very realistic and you’ll be surprised great they are.The best I’ve seen in a game of this type so far.The duel acessories/weapon selection is cleaver.You can repair any vehicle pretty fast with a rivot-type gun which is useful.And the dialogue the men in Bad Company during the campaign is actually pretty funny and comedy is certainly a nice change of pace in a game about war and death.And the coolest part of the game is actually firing the Artillery pieces with a airial view a lot of fun especially online.
Now,here comes the bad parts which are considerable so bare with me through all of them.Let’s begin on the game mechanics.Selecting weapons are cumbersome and awkward.You’ll shuffle through one only to realize that you skipped it.And you would think that the standard L1-R1 weapon select system would have been more than adequate to easily get the job done,but L1 selects the acessories and R1 selects weapons.Secondary weapons like a attached grenade launcher should be on L2 and use R2 to fire,but disappointingly enough it’s an acessory so you have to select it with L1 which is more than awkward especially in the heat of battle.The reticles are almost useless and is hard to guage if you even have your target on it and the recoil moves it around so much you easily lose track of the enemy.Rocket Launchers are underpowered especially up close where they shoulb be the most effective like hitting a guy in the chest and him not dyingAnd a lot of the weapons you use online and unlockable ones you need special codes and they are extremely hard to get and then even more can only the be unlocked only if you’d pre order the game LAME!
Now to the campaign-The story is the backbone to any first person shooter and without one severely dilutes the online part which it does a lot.The whole concept is about finding enemy Gold and smuggling it out so everyone there can retire.Although this sounds like this is a great idea and a novel concept it’s actually becomes stale and boring very quickly.Like I said I had no problem with the voice acting,but some may find it to be dumb and repetitive.Also,the intro just throws you into a Russian-type country without any backstory or explanation on how and why you are there which is the biggest flaw in the game.A good portion of the enemy A.I. even on the highest difficulty are dumb and are easy targets.
And finally Online-There are only two settings(Gold Rush and Conquest mode).And you can only get Conquest Mode only if you download it off of XBOX Live and please do it’s head over shoulders better that playing Gold Rush by far.There is absolutely to talking in this game which I found wierd in a game so strategic as this one.At first I thought my Mic was broken,but then soon discovered after playing several consecutive games that there’s simply isn’t any at all.This might be a good thing however,because there is a lot of Team Killing that occurs.And I do mean a lot of it.This was preveilent in the first Battlefield game,but no where near the level that it is now.The HUD is useles as well.It doesn’t show you where your team is at accurately and enemies appear as little tiny dots that you can barely see.But you don’t have to worry much about this,because Snipers rule this game.You’ll get picked off from a thousand yards away and have no idea what happened until it’s too late.And don’t ever EVER get into a vehicle especially a Helicopter with your Teammates around,because they will deliberately shoot at you until you die or the vehicle is rendered completely useless.Most players also have better weapons available that you do and if you’re up against them you might as well leave the game.You only have about five maps to play on and only two of those are worth playing.The are big a bit too big and although you can select which spawn point you select,by the time you get into the battle the actual fighting is now a thousand miles away from you and you’ll find yourself running or driving to the front lines.
Overall this game is a big disappointment.If you expect a great game you’ll be sadly mistakened.I lay all the blame on the makers of the game who should have realized all of these problems and actually fix them.They deserve a special award for poor game design and flawed unsupervised online game play.And a thrown together jumbled mess of a story line.I could actually go on with more problems with the game,but that would drag this review even further.If you have to play this game I suggest you rent it,DO NOT buy this game!It’s a waste of time and money.To finish all I have to say is this game might very well be the biggest disappointment of any video game and any genre I’ve ever seen and I hope I have given you all the information you need to avoid such a dreadful game as this one turned out to be.
This game is disappointing at best. It’s just like Assassin’s Creed in the regard that it’s a game solely made to show off a new type of gaming engine. Yeah, you can blow up trees and walls, great. The graphics are terrible! I don’t know what game other people are playing but this looks like Medal of Honor for the PS2! The accuracy of the weapons is horrible and enemies take whole clips to be killed. The health injection and checkpoints take all the difficulty out of the game. You can die 1000 times and still come back to the same spot and the enemies don’t respawn. I truly believe that this is a down grade from the last game, BF:MC I LOVE FPS’s. I’ve played ‘em all. I’m just really let down by this release. By the way, You can’t talk to anyone outside of your 4 man squad on a 12 man team in multiplayer! That really helps the whole team work and strategy aspect of the game… I give this game a 2 instead of a 1 simply because there are far worse games out there. I’m just overall disappointed. I wish EA still supported BF:MC!!!!
