Manufacturer's Description

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 gameplay 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 gameplay, 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 gameplay.

Gold Edition

Get into the fight quickly - the Gold Edition includes five multiplayer weapons, normally at rank 25, available for immediate use on the battlefield.

Know the battlefield - eight multiplayer map strategy videos are included covering everything from basic to advanced covering all the strategic depth of the gameplay.

Behind the scenes - a documentary with a fascinating insight into the production of Bad Company, from early concepts to the finished game.

Exclusive Smiley Grenade poster and gold metal case packaging bring the Gold Edition to life.

Customer Reviews

Well thoughtout game shame about the playability
Speaking as a veteran player (Battlefield series and CoD series) I would definitely say buy the game but don't expect everything to work the way you would expect it to. By the way I'm talking about the online game play. Singleplayer has little to offer as far as I am concerned. Visit the BadCompany Web site and check out the forums you will be able to see all the niggles the game has. Very frustrating to play the game at times. That said when I first started playing computer games a white ball was being batted from one side of the TV screen to the other (Binatone). So hey don't lets complain too much! Go ahead and buy it - it's great really. As many have said before me, if you could combine this game with the CoD4 game engine then that would be a great game .

great game
just to get this straight i also own cod4 and love it but but i think this game online rivals it and comes up to the same standards. so offline is quite short and a bit tedious but online is immense

Best FPS I've played
What can I say that hasn't been said already? The graphics are awesome (not as polished as one would've hoped) the maps are hhuuggeee and varied. The games are long and allow for team/squad work. Each class is balanced very well (frequently I can change classes during games as each class is good).

There are loads of awards/medals/trophies to be earned. Unlike other FPSs (COD4) the makers don't favor one console over another. Whilst lag is a growing problem, EA/DICE seem to take on board everyone's suggestions.

The ability to check your status on a PC is a great and...the ability to take screenshots whilst playing MP is another awesome feature. There are some great updates on the way which will further BFBCs dominance over other FPS.

The best part about the game (I feel) is the sound. The sound quality is awesome!!!! No longer will I judge a game by its graphics but by its sounds!!!!!!!!!

Just buy it...don't hesitate
