Battlefield Bad Company 2
Achievement Points = 1000
Single Player Points = 600
Multiplayer Points = 400
* There are more achievements to come , thank you EA.
I personally have brought the limited edition of this game at a extra cost of a five pond note and the
extra are noting to write home about.You get Map Pack 1 free because of your VIP membership to the EA company.Plus some extra that are unlockable at higher levels which your get at a lower level on online play.
Single Player
Is a brilliant story that involves you going from 1943 to the future i.e now. feel personally that the storyline has a lot more humour in it then Call Of Duty and you do sense that theres a another Battlefield in developments
All single player achievements are easy to get and if your scared of doing Airborne on Hard.Its a cake walk and just remember to duck and shot at anything that looks like its going to break i.e walls and an other light fabrics.
And having 600 points available right way will suit offline gamers is great .But the meat and gravy is Battlefields online modes.
Mulitplayer (Plus my judgement will be towards Rush at this present time , due to the fact I have be playing it for a week)
Online you get four classes and they are.
Assault
You basically there to shot at the emeny and hope they are dead.
Recon
Your chief scout , the guy that press the back button on the Xbox 360 controller and marks the targets or just shots everything in range and hopes for the enemy to die.
Medic
Your job is to reanimated the dead and pray that you can get enough team members to stay able.
Engineer
Your job is to repair the tanks and hope you do not become an other vicitm to warfare.
My only problem with Battlefield online is there are extreme number of people , who are using the Recon class too much .Because I received a message from someone moaning that I was playing as a Sniper .but I was only trying to level up that class.And I agree there are some that just what to level up without doing the hard work,but thats life.
I also see that playing as other class , can also hand you just as much power i.e try playing as an medic with lightweight perk and a M249 with an optic 4x scope,which must be unlocked and you will become a mean son of a gun in battle. Plus must people forget the medic is one hell of class to be.
Also for some reason everyone goes for the tanks,UAV and the other armour vehicle ,when there are attacking as the attacking team.Would be more fun if you just go down that hill as infantry and then spring the surprise on them later on in battle.
If you see an bad dudes tank still available after you take that section use it , because I did that took out three of bad dudes who were trying to defuse the m-com station and that station was destroyed.
But this game online at least allows you to win a match in three stages , so can lose your first four m-com stations and still win.
Remember if a game is going badly exit and try again.
Nice review Quinty,and I have to agree about being online.Too many snipers! I have to admit that I'm guilty as well,but I have found that certain classes suit certain maps.
Nelson bay for instance is a more run and gun approach,where Isla thingy is a great sniping map.
As time goes by and we get to learn the maps,snipers will find it hard to hide as all the best spots will be known.
I love it online,not as much as the first game,but it's still a better gaming experience than MW2 (which it will always be stood up against),because as you rightly say,you can lose the first round and still win.Some games last a good 20 minutes or so!
Much better VFM!
Good stuff Quinty, i've still not opened this game yet, I think i'll finish Godfather II first then start this game.
good review mate. I am buying this on tuesday all being well, can't bloody wait!

Good lad...it's all about the practice!
What really helped me was having the next gun up... I think the scope was much better and it being semi automatic helped :P

he has already bought it! At least that's what he told me. I hope he isn't lying, i only bought bad company 2 because of the 'deal' we had, and that's the truth ;)
I have indeed bought L4D2,just havn't played it yet.

I'm game if you are :)
Theres more to then fire off you load as the Recon you are meant to look out for targets for you team and remember the Mortar peak is deadly when attacking for M-Com Station , because taking down the walls means no hiding places for the opponent,
Sorry I am late. Thanks for the review it is awesome :)

I was wondering if you all had much chance to play around with the 'select' or 'back' button. If so could you post what you are findings?
For instance, if you are zoomed in on an enemy, you can hit the back or select button and it will trigger the red arrows over the enemy to alert your teammates to their where abouts.
This also works for machinery, but I'm wondering if anyone has any other info on this.

Not really,I think you've summed it all up.It's just a spotting tool for your squad.
Clever item really,especialy if your a bit pinned down cause it highlites them for your squad mates.
I prefer playing squad deathmatch lately.What do you prefer?
I love the spot button, You get XP if your squad mate then kills him as well...
Sarge Squad deathmatch is awesome! although I'm little addicted to Rush at the moment :)
I don't know if I have a preference at the moment. It's probably a tie between Rush and squad death match.
I popped in BFBC2 at lunch yesterday and did a little online, very little, the controller felt all wrong!!! I felt I was caught with my pants down, and it's really not that different ;D Gonna have to get in to the campaign mode a bit, which I can now that I just completed the game last night on the PS3.
Anyone else here complete the game?

I have done everything in Single Player just working my way through Online.... I would love to see an online add-on ;D
I'm quite far from completing it, everytime i do a bit of single player i end up playing online after about 20 mins!

Cheevo wise, play on easy, use a guide for M-com stations and you don't need to collect them all cos it's glitched and unlocks early. Then once completed play the last level on hard and make sure you pick up the LMG on the plane and it's all done brother! might need to mop on weapon and blowing up buildings but that's also very easy...
And far as the MP goes it's like a damn drug! it's my very own heroin ;D

I have three to do, Airkill is becoming a bitch! I can not seem to do anything the net and forums suggest... as for demolition kills, I frakking suck!
i agree about knife kills achievement and many other achievement.
I bought this game the other day after everyone saying its so much better than cod and better online etc and i was really disappointed, campaign was far too easy on the hardest difficulty and online was just far too confusing and i couldn't hit a damn thing with the sniper rifle. Personally i think even medal of honour tier one was better online. Or am i just doing something wrong!!!
shame i can't remember the excellent video that was about for newcomers to BC. BC2 is the best online combat game but it takes a while to get into it. Always remember to tag people with the BACK button and with the sniper remember the corleosis effect, your bullet will drop, so aim above there head (1-click for 1-click) unless your REALLY far away and there brains will be painting the walls.
Try your hand at the medic, it's the easiest class and levels up easily, you can help revive people and heal and suppress fire and feel part of a team. If you wanna roll in the tanks, go as an engineer and Assault is good for close maps rather than the bigger ones.
Rush involves getting to the objective and blowing it up (like S&D on CoD) but massive. Don't just run for it though as someone WILL be hiding. Conquest is exactly like Domination on CoD. Rush is where it's at though, it makes you feel part of a team, helping people by tagging them and healing, restocking etc
sweet cheers for that! I dont like giving up on games incase its just me so ill give it another shot. And if ya find that video give us a shout :)
