 GREAT GAME ! SHOOTING IS FUN October 22, 2008
GREAT GAME AND PRICE, JUST PACKAGING WAS HORRIBLE AND STUCK O THE GAME . OTHERWISE FINE .
 Failed execution. October 20, 2008
Simply enough, this game is dull, repetitive, derivative, and frustrating to play. The most painful part is that the A.I. is horribly flawed. They're extremely stupid but have superhuman accuracy and are impossible to sneak up on unless you are about a mile away with a sniper rifle. The story was unsatisfying at best, with the hint of a sequel, because Lord knows we need a Bad Company 2, 3, and 4. The intent and potential for a great game was there. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions, and somehow DICE really screwed the pooch on this one.
Don't buy this.
Awesome game, best FPS out there!!! October 15, 2008
I have read some reviews and a few of them say that this game seems inferior compare to Call of Duty 4, to me thats weird because in my opinion this game is far better in almost every way.
The new Frostbite technology make this game a very realistic experience specially when you can destroy basically every thing that comes across your sight.
With this game you have more and longer missions than COD4 to me thats a big plus since I prefer to take my gaming of line.
Great missions and entertaining Characters with good sense of humor makes a nice combination.
To be honest I hated Battlefield 2 but rest assure that this is a completely different game, better in every way.
Overall I give 5 stars to this game because the developers make an awesome job presenting an entertaining game with a completely destructible environment.
 Easy does it, Dice October 3, 2008
Ok I understand that one of the main points of the game is destructibility, but when it goes as far as being able to demolish a strong wooden fence with your five inch dagger-blade, it gets a bit ridiculous. Also I have the ability to take down a tree with one bullet. I just think that they should make the destruction a little more believable. Otherwise, this game is spectacular. Haggard and Sweetwater are quite entertaining and I chuckle at their wisecrack jokes. The weapons are realistic (even though some of them don't exist in real life) and they make the greatest reloading sound you'll ever hear. That's another thing, the sounds are amazing. Theoretically, after an explosion, I could say "I couldn't have said that explosion better." They have the initial explosion, then the rubble and dust falling to the ground, which portrays every aspect of something blowing up.
I forgot to mention something: the unlimited sprinting does give you a false sense of accomplishment when you escape a horde of enemies, as well as the syringe that you can heal yourself with every 10 seconds.
This game is exactly like call of duty 4, just less somber and serious. The multiplayer has the same concepts, having the +10 after every kill (with an extra 5 for headshot and a lot of other bonuses), bringing back vivid memories of getting those ten points off of that cod 4 kill.
Hey, I've been alive for like an hour, why doesn't my health go back up?? It doesn't! Not like CoD in that aspect. Your health is a number out of 100. If your health starts getting low, your vision blurs and goes into black and white until you die, heal yourself with the auto injector, or a support guy comes and throws morphine at you (haha).
Snipers. This is a big aspect of the game. Don't get upset if you hit an enemy straight on in the chest and he doesn't die. If you suck at shooting with .50 cals, try the SVU or the VSS; both of which are beastly semi-auto snipers. For those who can get 'em in one shot, use the M95 (slow but ridiculously powerful). You'll get the assist points when someone else kills him, and you don't, but you did damage. Most of the snipers are one shot kills, but once in a while you won't bring him down immediately. Other times, it will look like you hit him straight on, but no damage was done. This creates a lot of frustration when you had an idiot just standing still, inviting you to headshot him, and when you do it, no damage is done. That needed to be fixed.
Don't be daunted by the fact that there is only 1 type of multiplayer game(update: new type of game mode called conquest, which is capture the flag. I don't play it that much though). It's called Gold Rush. You have to either attack the defenders' gold crates or defend your own. It never gets old. You don't have to take the crate part seriously, you can just treat it like a death match and get lots of points. It all depends on where your priorities are. Also, being the Russians is hilarious. You'll see what I mean when you play it.
In terms of kids between the ages of 13 and 15, parents, do not be alarmed at the fact that the characters carry guns. Your child will never see a drop of blood, nor is the game disturbing at any point. The violence isn't gross like some other games, it's just there. If you're reading this with your child, I'm sure he's giving you that look of hope as if I am his savior. I'll take the time to say your welcome to your son. Really, it's not that bad at all.
Fantastic job, boys, keep the good games coming.

Get the laser designator to control missles from the sky and bomb tanks, cars, and if you're really good, helicopters in mid air :)
Awesome! September 30, 2008
Single Player is ok, but the XBox Live multiplayer is so GREAT that it brings the game a solid 5 star rating! Hours and hours of tremendous fun!
