Battlefield Bad Company 2

Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is a first-person shooter video game developed by the Swedish firm EA Digital Illusions CE and published by Electronic Arts for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and iOS systems. It is a part of the Battlefield series and was released worldwide in March 2010.The game is primarily a squad-level online first person shooter based in a contemporary modern warfare setting. Additionally, the game includes a single player campaign, where the player re-assumes the role of Preston Marlowe, the protagonist of the original game. The game's Frostbite 1.5 engine allows for destructible environments,[8] and multiplayer maps contain a wide selection of vehicles, aircraft and emplacements and allow for five different game modes.Military shooters are hardly renowned for their memorable characters. Sure, Price from Modern Warfare on home consoles is the one with the ‘tache, and the woman from Homefront is a woman, but that’s usually about as far as your understanding of their motivations extends.So the banter and general air of likable ineptitude that surrounds the Bad Company of the title from this latest Xperia exclusive from EA Mobile comes as a breath of fresh air - cracking jokes and reeling off decent one-liners that actually make you care about their plight.It’s a shame that the game they star in falls short of the target.Running parallel to the exploits in the home console version, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 picks up with Hags, Sarge, Sweetwater, and your character Preston attempting to retrieve a server containing information about a secret Russian weapon (it’s set in an alternative reality, if you’re wondering why the Russians are once again the baddies)The graphics are a little muddied and obviously lack the destruction and other fancy features of its bigger brother, but Digital Legends has done a good job keeping the feel of the sprawling and varied missions intact for this mobile iteration.That means you won’t just be running through waypoints and blasting down enemies, but also leaping into a selection of vehicles (and blasting down enemies) as well.
