| B Company
Welcome to the 222nd Army battalion, B-company. This is where the Army rakes together all the insubordinates, hellraisers and troublemakers that won’t fit in any other unit. When the Rangers and Deltas are too expensive to waste, these guys are the first ones in.
They’re called “Bad Company”; a mismatched bunch of rejects selected to serve their country as cannon fodder. This isn’t the kind of outfit a lot of soldiers would join voluntarily. Getting transferred to “the B” is a punishment and a way for the generals to put all their rotten eggs in one basket.
No one starts out in Bad Company. But for some, this is where they end up. |

 Great Game, Much Fun, Total Destruction July 3, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This game is really fun, and the totally destructable environments make it even the more so. The controls are easy to handle, the realism is very much so, and the experience is quite enjoyable. There is a level a detail that can be seen in the faces of your squad budies, and they are actually quite helpfull. There is a miriad of toys that you get to use in game that just add to the funnes. The sound effects and affects are way better than many other first person shooters that I have played, and you get to experience the feel of everything through the sound. If your borderline, go ahead and get it, the funness of it will make up for it. That and online play is enjoyable as well, it just adds another layer of intrigue into the mix.
An awesome game with a frustrating Amazon experience. July 2, 2008

Great game, lots of fun things to do, and Gold Rush is a great game type. The only problem I had was the pre-order from Amazon. I pre-ordered the Gold Edition and never got a code for the sniper rifle. I just assumed that I'd get one, but apparently Amazon thinks that the gun is included on the Gold Edition disc when it clearly is NOT. It's a different set of weapons! And good luck explaining that to anyone. I've sent 2 emails and talked to a guy on the phone and it's like I'm getting them to give me a million dollars or something. Just give me the code and we can both move on with our lives! Anyway, the game is top notch, I just won't be doing another pre-order via Amazon.
BF: Bad Company Gold Edition will blow your mind away! July 2, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This game is a revolution to the FPS.
With the ability to change your eviroment as you play, is pheonominal. It really gives it the realistic sense of the world. Just the idea of blowing up a wall to make a new vantage point, or running through it with a tank, is shear joy that most FPS lack. It sounds incredible. It's so realistic that, if you have surround sound with the bass turned way up - you will FEEL the tanks and gunshots rumble the floor around you. Words are just not enough.
I must say I have never had a gaming experience this fun in years.
Now on to the Gold Edit features.
The behind the sceens & map "tips & tricks" videos are a great way to get the heads up on some of the maps before most people do.
The 5 unlocks are a must, at least if you don't have time to grind up to level 25. It's also pretty cool to start out with some better weaponry rather than the weaker defaults. In a way, you could probably level up faster by getting points easier with better equipment.
Pros:
-Unmatched graphics.
-Realistic sounds.
-Shifting/changing eviroments.
-Cooler, more updated vehicles than in previous BF games.
-Squads give fun interaction between players.
-Fun to have early access to weapons.
-If pre-ordered, promotional sniper rifle
-It's a hell of a lot of fun!!
Cons:
-Price, about 10 bucks more for really comentary & early access to weaponry.
-Bonus Features could have a little more BONUS for the extra buck.
-Pre-ordered sniper code is not (yet) sent through Amazon.com... (suckage)
I recomend this game to the Hardcore or casual FPS gamer! This game is incredibly fun to play!
5 stars! Good work EA!
 Is the Gold Edition worth it? June 29, 2008
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
I won't go into how the game performs online, in single player, etc. Others have done a fine job of that already. What I know many people want to know is if the Gold Edition is worth buying over the standard edition or not. Well, I'll try to help you decide that for yourself, but in short (and in my opinion - No).
Simply put, all you get are some videos of the multiplayer maps with some tips on how to approach each map. I had hoped for more from these videos, honestly, and I don't really think they offer much insight at all. They seem rushed more than detailed. More than likely, these will be available online somewhere if they aren't already.
You also get immediate access to five additional guns that buyers of the standard edition will need to wait until they've reached rank 25. That's cool, I guess, but not really that great of an incentive.
You also get a small fold out poster...
If you're a collector of special editions, then great - go for it. If you really don't care that much or are swaying between the two, get the regular one - this one really isn't worth the extra cash. In my case, the store I purchased the game from actually had the standard edition on sale while the GE was regular price. So I ended up paying eighteen dollars extra for these five guns, poster, and videos. In my mind, that was a poor choice. For the usual ten dollars more, I'd have been less disappointed, but still not totally satisfied.
Explanation of my star ratings: I have this edition of the game 3 stars simply because I feel the additional content wasn't worth the additional price. I gave the game itself 4 stars overall because, while I'm enjoying it a lot, it doesn't keep me as immersed as Call of Duty 4 did.
This Is A Really Fun Game. June 26, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Battlefield: Bad Company is a fun game to play. Right away I noticed the game has probably the best sounds of combat I have ever heard in a game. From the sounds of weapons firing to the sounds of armored vehicles running, the game is great to listen to. The sounds of mortar shells coming down and exploding around you is just unbelievable. When I walk through forests and fields, I can actually hear the sounds of birds chirping, dogs barking, and cows mooing.
The graphics in the game are just great too. I love looking at the water in streams and rivers. It looks very real. The forests and villages in this Eastern European setting are really beautiful to look at in this game.
I like how you can jump in different vehicles to drive around in and there is a car radio in the vehicle to listen to while you are driving around. There are several different radio stations to listen to. I love the music in this game.
The AI in this game is pretty smart. When enemy soldiers see me, they immediately run and hide behind something. They have try to out flank me and they have tried to sneaked behind me a few times. I love the part where a enemy soldier runs into a building to hide from you and you can use your weapon to blow a good size hole into a building to waste the enemy soldier. It is also so much fun to just take your weapon and shoot down all the trees that enemy soldiers are hiding behind. You can do so much damage to the terrain with your weapons in this game.
The maps to this game are huge. The maps are ten times bigger than the maps to Call of Duty 4. I love the sandbox settings to this game where you can go any where on the maps.
I highly recommend getting this game. Battlefield: Bad Company is a fun game to play and the game has a lot of replay value to it.
