Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is considered one of the best multiplayer experiences on the Xbox 360 and PS3. Although there is plenty of variety in the original multiplayer content, DICE have gone all out releasing a massive expansion for the multiplayer mode with its Vietnam DLC. Is this eagerly anticipated expansion to an already stellar game worth the price of admission?
"Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is the latest installment of DICE’s Battlefield series, and a direct sequel to… you guessed it, Bad Company. Since 2002 with the release of Battlefield 1942 on the PC, the franchise has revolutionized multiplayer gaming with the addition of progressive stat tracking and large-scale battles occurring simultaneously on land, air and sea.

In Bad Company 2, up to 24 people can play one of several flavours of multiplayer. Rush mode has one team defending..."
After the success of Modern Warfare 2, EA's Battlefield: Bad Company 2 had a lot to live up to. Although a slightly different style of shooter, particularly in multi-player mode, the comparisons between the two big-time shooters was inevitable. All Age Gaming's John Elliott shares his opinion on EA's second Bad Company game.
"What Bad Company 2 does lack is a campaign co-op mode, something that would have markedly improved the game’s story. While your AI squadmates do their best to assist you, you’ll observe early on that it’s up to you to do the majority of the shooting. B Company will constantly suppress enemy targets, but unless one of them manages to come close to the group, rarely actually kill someone."
Some would argue that one is simply better than the other, but they both are excellent games, but some excel in more areas than the other, and visa-versa.
Which in its self does not make either bad, just different.
Come check out what one OXCGN reviewer thinks of the comparison . . plus there's a decent video of the Multiplayer modes to take a squiz at while you're there.
"The Battlefield series has always pushed to deliver the pinnacle of serious and authentic warfare, however, with 2008’s Bad Company, DICE threw in a little humor and action-movie elements in order to deliver a new brand of miscreant warfare. Bad Company 2 has finally arrived and is set to leave a flaming trail of debris behind it. But is this company worth keeping?"
"DICE's sequel to Bad Company was supposed to be the big Modern Warfare 2 killer this year and it certainly managed to live up to the high expectations. Players of the first game will feel right at home. This First Person Shooter has the familiar B Company squad's banter throughout the many diverse missions and Destruction 2.0 steals the show. Along with the story mode comes an incredible multilayer experience which will keep you coming back all year long."
"The single player portion is much cleaner and lacks the abrupt twists that Modern Warfare 2 had, but delivers a smooth experience overall. Multiplayer is spot on and will eat up hours upon hours of gamers’ time. Also those virtual-warriors who love to collect will find limitless pins, ranks, and medals to keep chasing."
"Battlefield: Bad Company 2's single-player story takes its cue directly from the previous game, returning to the titular team of four military miscreants, who after a long quest for gold are back in the Army, engaging in more conventional objectives driven by duty rather than personal gain. The same snappy banter and one-liners between Marlowe (you), Sweetwater, Haggard and Sarge thankfully remain intact, meaning that there's more personality in Bad Company 2 than you would normally find in y..."
"Strategy is the key word here. Unlike other spray and pray broken ass shooters that have come out recently, the only way to be consistently successful in Bad Company 2's multiplayer is to use your head and work as a team. When trying to take down an objective or capture a point, you only have a certain amount of troops to do so with. A team that knows what they’re doing and is working together can whittle those tickets down to nothing in no time."
""Even though the single-player campaign still isn’t where it needs to be, Bad Company 2 is definitely a great sequel that builds on its predecessor in every way, making for one that no shooter fan will want to miss, especially if you go online for your gaming.""
"BBC 2 has stirred up some controversy as the multiplayer beta experience had been hit or miss for some people. After some hands on game playing with the final copy of the game, we can now definitely say whether DICE delivers another killer Battlefield game."
