Game: battle field bad company 2

I recently picked up this game because playing the demo was awesome fun with my friends.

The campaign is good, the idea that you unlock guns by picking them up is rather neat to me. The downside is some weapons look very similar to others with their icons, and others are almost impossible to find. But you don't actually NEED extra weapon types to play the game, it just expands the options.

The story of the campaign is interesting, starts off in WWII japan and then flashes to the future in Russia. I'm not done so I won't talk much more about the plot other then to say it's got a few surprises....

The multiplayer mode though quickly deviated from the demo. The maps are much much much much larger, so large that you can be sniping, in a game with 18 people and not see anyone for a minute or two.

The objective nature of the game types makes this alot of fun to play with friends, but make it really hard if you can't hop into a squad for various area spawns.

The weapon class balance is good, as are the spawns. You can spawn off of a team mate or puck a spawn area.

Musically the soundtrack is pretty good, it seems to fit the modes of the game well, visually nothing new but nothing old.

The on thing that bugs me is there isn't cooperative campaign, you can't look at your statistics unless connected to live and you need to verify your EA account every time you use your game...

I'd give it 7.5 stars of 10
