Set in the near future, the Battlefield: Bad Company single-player campaign drops gamers into a dramatic Eurasian conflict. As part of a squad of four soldiers, players risk it all to go AWOL on a personal quest, fighting their own war within the war. Featuring a dramatic storyline flavored with attitude, Battlefield: Bad Company leads gamers far from the traditional frontlines on a wild ride with a group of renegade soldiers who decide that sometimes the gratitude of a nation just isn't enough.

The Battlefield: Bad Company cinematic single-player experience captures the freedom and intensity of the franchise's legendary multiplayer sandbox game play in a dynamic world where nearly everything is destructible. Gamers have total freedom to be daring and innovative, adapting to and tackling challenges in unexpected "Battlefield-style" ways. Create sniping positions by blowing out a piece of a wall or drive your tank straight through a small house. The ever-changing battlefield forces players, their teammates and enemies to react accordingly.

The game also features a full suite of the franchise's trademark multiplayer game play, supporting 24 players online.

Battlefield: Bad Company is the first game built from the ground up for next-generation consoles using DICE's bleeding-edge Frostbite game engine, delivering unrivaled graphics, effects and game play.

Customer Reviews

Don't think its COD, its not, its bad company!
This game is great as long as you don't try to compare it to COD 4.

COD 4 is serious and trying to get the gamer gripped into a situation.

Bad Company is a much more relaxed, fluid game. The controls are still easy but the emphasis is more on fun and blowing stuff up rather than dramatic music killing a world menace.

Your NPC comrades are great fun, all taking advantage of stereotypes. You have a computer nerd with specs, a sarg with attitude and a hill billy, red neck who has some of the funniest lines of dialogue I've come across. I was actually laughing at some of his comments during the game, which is rare " i've got this cousin who's got a great voice but a face like a can of dog food!" All the while buildings are collapsing around you.

The game AI is not super intelligent and sometimes it seems a bit ridiculous when it takes 2/3 of a clip to kill one guy but at the same time they don't walk though walls like other games.

The destructive element of this game is excellent, you are actively encouraged not to use doors to enter houses, "just blow a hole and make your own.

Overall, the whole idea behind this game is too have a laugh. Its a great red neck adventure.

I wish i had brought it on release as the multi player is excellent.

This is a awful game!!!
I played and loved COD4 (What a game)!!!. I got this game thinking it would be great having a destructable environment, but this fact wore off after about 20 mins of playing. The Online is the worst online shooter I hvae ever played, it is just a case of who gets in the vehicles first gets the best scores. AWUFUL GAME ONLINE.

Single player is ok but just reminds me of playing Frontlines fuel of war, which was a rubbish shooter, no atmosphere at all.

If you like to gripped by a shooter then stay away from this game. Don't say I did not warn you.

Damn good fun
This game is an essential purchase for the xbox 360, single player is good fun although not hard to complete. It has some amazing cut scenes and a bit of humour thrown in. Online is the games strongest feature with destructable buildings and numerous jeeps,tanks and choppers to use in the fight. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is that it can be a bit annoying with the lag and the fact that it sometimes takes an entire clip from your weapon to kill an enemy because of it. Come on EA, sort it out !!
