My efforts to get Bad Company 2 were slightly delayed(by 2 weeks) but I have finally got my hands on the game and played it. It has been fairly satisfying although there were various small annoyances.
The gang returns
Generally gameplay is exactly identical to the first Bad Company. The controls have been tweaked a bit but everything feels the same. The biggest difference in gameplay is the health system. The game features a slow regeneration health system similar to Modern Warfare 2. Destructibility is greater and more realistic. Environments are less open and slightly more linear now. Some may be disappointed with that but I personally don't mind.
Arctic conditions
Tropical surroundings
The story line is darker than some gold-hunting expedition and involves a doomsday weapon. The characters swear a lot more but are still as jokey and funny as before. There are also more scripted action sequences now but they just feel over-the-top. The game constantly hits you with fast-paced action that it becomes a bit boring.
Destruction!
Now, for my grievances. The graphics are great but there are a lot of texture fade-ins. Sometimes objects and backgrounds just suddenly pop into place. The animations of the dead enemies also frequently glitch. Gunfire sounds still produce a lot of echo. I also miss Mike One Juliet or Miss July.
Vehicular combat
The multiplayer once again delivers standard battlefield combat. Minor elements have been tweaked but nothing of note.
