This is a great game in its own right, with 24-player online matches, fully destructible environments, and a full range of land, sea, and air vehicles in very large maps. All of these things are very impressive for a console, but may be nothing too exciting for fans of the older Battlefield games on the PC.
It may take a little while just to get used to the game, but it can be a lot of fun once you get into it. The game overall isn’t as clean or realistic as Call of Duty 4, but you really have to keep in mind that they’re trying to bring a lot more to the table, whereas COD4 focused on perfecting a few key aspects of the gameplay. Those are two really different approaches to game development, and so it’s really not fair to compare the two directly.
With that said, however, the controls and aiming don’t feel nearly as sharp or responsive as they should, and this can get frustrating when you’re trying to frantically maneuver your vehicle out of harm’s way or land a shot on the guy in the tiny window across the village.
It’ll be a little while before you pick up on the full range of things you can actually do in the game (tagging enemy vehicles with tracer rounds so that your buddy can lock onto it with a rocket launcher, for instance, or deploying smoke from your tank to cover your retreat). That’s when things really get fun (and you stop dying as much). Online matches tend to descend into chaos rather quickly, but if you find some friends to play with and stick together, the cooperative aspects of the gameplay really shine through and can make for a very rewarding experience.
In conclusion, there are a few areas for improvement, but it’s a very good multiplayer game in its own right, and it’s definitely worth checking out (especially if you’re new to the series).

This game is the Battlefield Bad Company game made by Xbox for your vidio game systems. In this game you play Prescott Marlbro who get sent to bad compnay for being you guess it BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Once he get to bad company he meet the other bad companies who are name Robert REdford, Sweeterater, and Hagrid!! They pretty bad aight but they are not as bad as ME I’m the baddest know what I’m saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
like others say this game is groundbraking and you play as a member of the U S of A army who fight in wars against russkies and commies and gangstas and natsis and koreas and terrists and navys!! You get to shoot and fire many guns and wepons and orindinces and granadas and rocket lunchers and you can even fly in helocopers and drive in tanks and hum-v s just like puffy ditty combs. Allso the sound is real good and it make it sound like you are in a war with all them guns and ammos flying around!!! I have 10.0 dubly stereo suround sound with 2 subwolfer and too many speakers for numbers and it sound just like a real war on my monster powerfull speakers and wolfers and tweeterz. Just like my car yo I done put a 10 in the back and a spoiller and a wolfer and a tweeter and belief me when I say that kia be bangin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway, yesterday I was playing BAD COMPANY and this one kid say “You are gayye” to me and I was all like “oh yeah YOU GAYEE to him and then to top it off I say “YOU MOM IS GAYEE!” to him and then when he try to talk back I just start singing real loud and saying “aAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA” over the headphone and all the people in the lobby start yellin SHUT UP to him I guess they hate him too and want him to SHUT UP so they can play BAD COMPANY in piece and then I put some sweet beatz on real loud on my stereo so that it drown him out and that totally show him who is the boss it’s ME. Then we start to play BAD COMPANY and I totally owned and powned that guy and shot him in the head and I jump around high all over the place using my mad Haylo jumps and nobody can shoot me cuz I’m a snipper!!!!!!!!!!! And I teebags him!!!!!!!!!!!
So as you can see, BAD COMPANY is the bomb and rule and I’m amazing at it and if you get powned and owned like a noobe online on your Xbox live playing this game that was probaly ME who done it to you don’t hate- appreciate, know what I saying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So buy Bad Company so I give it 5 stars.

Battlefield Bad Company is a FPS for the XBOX 360, This is an open world combat game similar to Medal of Honor Airborne and Frontlines Fuels of War. But most people feel that it must be compared to Call Of Duty 4, which of course is the best FPS on the 360.
Playing the single player campaign in Bad Company has you fighting alongside a squad of three AI (artifical intelligence). Unfortunately, your AI sqaudmates are practically brain dead! They will stand out in the open and not shoot back at the enemies. The enemy AI are shooting hailstorms of bullets at you but seldomly attack the AI squadmates on your team. This shoddy programming takes away from the realism and makes the game feel cheesy and low budget.
Since your sqaudmates are useless, that you will have to take it upon yourself to get into the combat and mission objectives. Many of the missions have intense firefights and are pretty straight foreward. The maps are very massive and open for the most part. This open world combat lets you devise your own plan of attack which is an excellent experience in itself. There are plenty of weapon pickups and checkpoints which automatically save your progress. If you get killed, you just respawn from the last checkpoint you passed.
The levels use streaming technology which means no loading times when going from one part of the map to the next. The levels also are persistant which means that whatever destruction you caused or enemies you killed; they remain the same and DO NOT reset after you get killed. The best thing about Bad Company is the destructiblility. Trees, containers, vehicles, and walls can be destroyed. The graphics and sound effects do a good job of conveying the chaos from this destruction.
There are two game mode type for multiplayer online. The mode called, “Gold Rush” allows up to (12) players on each team. The defending team protects the gold crates, while the attacking team tries to destroy them by either planting a charge on the crates or simply shooting at them till they blow up. Gold Rush, is so much fun that it should be renamed to “Head Rush”.
Recently the game’s developer, made Conquest mode available as a free download. Conquest plays like a cross between capture the flag and territories. It uses four pre-existing maps that have been modified to fit its style of gameplay. It is a nice addition to the overall package.
Here’s a small taste of what you should expect to see during the matches:
Mortars shower from above, attack choppers dominate from the air, battle tanks destroy by ground, artillary strikes are awesome, air strikes have lethal precision. All the while lots of small skirmishes are taking place-Specialists running around with their silenced smg, Demolitionist blasting with their shotguns, Snipers killing from afar, Support providing suppressive fire and Assualt soldiers aggressively attacking everyone.
Despite some of its flaws, the chaotic battles, destructive environments, and amazing sound effects make Battlefield Bad Company an enjoyable experience for FPS fans. It is not a perfect game by any means and it probably won’t topple COD4, but Bad Company certainly is one of the best open world combat games available for the XBOX 360.
Pros:
+open world combat
+destructible environments
+massive levels
+excellent map designs
+ragdoll physics
+jaw dropping sound effects
+excellent controls
+excellent vehicles
+balanced weapons
+intense firefights
+conquest mode added recently
Cons:
-brain dead AI in single player mode
-It does not win over COD4

I think this game is better than any of the COD games. No infinite enemies spawning, not as linear, great graphics, big environment and most everything blows up. Co-Op would be a big plus with all the vehicles, etc..I am going Live because of this game.

as the subject says, it’s not bad, but it’s not a great game either. it’s not one you’ll be like oh man i gotta play that, 5 years down the road, but it’s fun enough to keep you entertained.
it’s biggest failing is how repetitive it is every mission, every town feels the exact same.
