Battlefield: Bad Company 2

This genre is crowded, and while Call of Duty and Halo may grab the headlines and sales, Bad Company 2 is a nice alternative to the hectic run-and-gun style of Call of Duty and shielded opponents of Halo: Reach. EA is still continuing support with a new pack recently released and a full expansion called Battlefield Bad Company 2: Vietnam. Innovation is what keeps this genre alive and flourishing. DICE studios has done a great job adding new ideas and concepts to the console FPS genre -- it makes some of the changes brought on by the competition seem amateur in comparison. The are many virtual wars to fight, and many virtual opponents to shoot, but Bad Company 2 makes it worth your time to enlist in this crowed FPS market.

Still, there is no other shooter out there that can compare to Battlefield Bad Company 2. Although it has some issues I can honestly say that this is the best shooter I have played in years. Better than Modern Warfare? Well, that is a matter of taste and opinion. I like Bad Company 2 more than Modern Warfare, but I can say this, in the hopes of staying neutral: EA and Dice have closed the gap tremendously and created something truly special that in many ways equals or surpasses Modern Warfare.

With all the different classes, vehicles, and stationary weapons (like heavy machine guns and mounted rocket launchers) at play, there is a dazzling array of ways to wage war. These tools, coupled with the threat and promise of destructibility, make Bad Company 2's battlefields uniquely chaotic and electrifyingly fun. The action is top-notch in both campaign and multiplayer alike. Whether or not you're looking for a new shooter in your life, you owe it to yourself to play Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

Bad Company 2 ist ein spielbarer Action-Film: Die zerstörbare Umgebung bringt eine Prise Taktik und einen ganzen Kochtopf Atmosphäre. Außerdem begeistern uns die Levelvielfalt, der unglaublich gute Sound, die detailverliebte Grafik und die mal durchgeknallten, mal nachdenklichen Charaktere. Punktabzug gibt's für die miserable KI und die stellenweise etwas laschen deutschen Sprecher. Also Solospiel ist Modern Warfare besser, im Multiplayer-Modus halten sich beide Titel ungefähr die Waage.

Pour pas mal de raisons, Bad Company 2 pourrait bien passer pour le négatif de son grand frère. En effet, alors que le premier opus nous offrait une campagne délirante en dépit de ses lacunes et un multi un peu léger, voilà que cette suite se contente d'un solo efficace et maîtrisé, mais qui ne laissera pas de souvenirs impérissables, avant de faire péter la baraque avec un redoutable multijoueur à ne manquer sous aucun prétexte !
