Got it.

Love it.

Can't play it enough.

All I can say is:

If you liked Modern Warfare (1 or 2, if not both), then BC2 is like MW1/2, but with destructible levels and maps that are 20x bigger and better! Not to mention many, many vehicles (about a dozen across all of the maps), and some excellent squad-based tactics and teamwork required to truly surpass.

I love running around with my tight-knit group of buddies and kicking ass as an unstoppable offensive (or defensive, when needed) squad. We communicate, we watch each other's backs, and we burst into rooms Rainbow Six styles - all angles covered.

It's hella fun.

On top of that, they have gravity dynamics on bullet trajectory, which means that snipers have to compensate for bullet drop and such - as well as when firing rockets or grenades over distance.

Plus, I was getting sick of Modern Warfare being the 'fall back to' game, and like actually having a shooter of equal (if not better) quality to play for the year to come!

Just bought it for PC, can't wait to install it. I am also tired of MW2.



This is the first game with graphics requirements that will really push the ability of my aging PC build to run everything at high settings smoothly... wish I could afford a console and an HD TV to rock out on!

Battlefield Bad Company 2: it's Modern Warfare, but with the things that make you like a game.

I just finished MW2 and it seemed to me like MW1. A friend of mine was all gushy about it. The story seemed disjointed to me but the graphics were pretty good. But I prefer games with multiplayer coop functions now as I am more of a social player. I saw a preview of Bad Company 2 and was interested. I read some reviews at Amazon and I got more interested.

After reading Watcher's review and everyone else gushing about it, I am going to buy it.


OS - for PC? The next breakthrough will be platform compatibility for multiplayer. I feel a sudden urge to blow 'fancypants' to bits. :D

I'm more excited about Splinter Cell: Conviction.

The co-op multiplayer is an actual separate storyline that fills in some gaps roughly 1-2 months prior to the single player campaign. I'm so stoked that I can play through a dedicated multiplayer story, without feeling like it just had another player added to the 'main storyline'.

I also played the demo.

I love it. I truly do. The interrogation scene is brutal, but it's so rewarding to smash the guy who knows who killed Sam's daughter head's through a urinal.

I also like the new function for mission objectives (they appear on objects in the game, giving you a real-time feed of what to do without having to break gameplay by searching through a menu), not to mention the new 'execute system' - where you can allocate up to three targets for instant headshots, once you attain a hand-to-hand takedown (and assuming those 3 targets are within pistol range/view).

It's quite cool.

Yeah, RDR looks cool, too.

So many awesome games coming out in the near future.

Crackdown 2, for the win!
