Product Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Regroup at the red smoke......., 9 Jul 2008
By Stevie G "Stevie G" (Manchester, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 
The Battlefield series has enjoyed massive success as a multiplayer PC title, but aside from a 360 port of Battlefield 2, consoles haven't experienced the franchise.
Bad Company has been developed exclusively for consoles with a single player campaign unrivalled in the series history.
It focuses on a group of soldiers fighting in a fictional Eastern Bloc country. They hear rumours of a hidden gold stash; and that's it really. The story is told by short, interactive cut-scenes, which are solidly done and work better than most efforts (Haze!!!).
Your squad aren't the typical macho clichés either, and you may actually grow to like them before the campaign is over. They also have personal reasons for wanting the loot, which is fairly refreshing for an FPS.

The campaign itself is short and for the most part, sweet. Levels are absolutely huge. However, every area has red sections; `enemy territory', that cannot be entered. This always leaves a fairly linear path to follow. Objectives are also very similar, and require little more than travelling from one point to another.
Thankfully, there are various types of vehicles to travel in, and the transition is always seamless. Vehicles aren't forced upon the player either, instead providing an option to travel the maps. There is a forced helicopter mission later on, which can frustrate immensely.

Dices new `Frostbite' engine provides visuals that range from stunningly attractive to decidedly average. The open spaces look realistic enough, but most indoor environments are empty and lack much detail. A golf course provides some welcome variety, but for the most part, Déjà vu persists. Identical groups of buildings are encountered throughout. Enemy animation is another low point.
The level of destruction is Bad Company's unique feature. Initially its amazing, blowing holes in buildings and destroying fences previously were blocking the path. But cheap, messy thrills quickly feel shallow. Anything red explodes, which feels basic. Rocket launchers and air strikes are available, but there is still far too much reliance on red barrels to create devastation, and a formula quickly develops to overcome every set piece. The destruction can also be quite inconsistent. Some buildings collapse after slight gunfire yet others wont even be marked after firing a rocket at it.

Bad Company is a better shooter than almost everything else on PS3.
Obviously excluding The Orange Box and the undisputed champion, Call of Duty 4.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great company, 9 Jun 2008
Fun:4.0 out of 5 stars 
People put a vast amount of work into making something like this and then someone comes on and slaps on a one-star rating for a completely spurious reason (you can't crouch...). I downloaded it on Saturday and gave it a thorough test over the weekend. Just to answer the Call of Duty 4 question, both are superb; best to think of Call of Duty 4 as an outstanding simulation of an infantryman's experience on the ground and in the firing line. Battlefield is more a real-time strategy game from the ground eye view - they do similar but distinct things and I admire both. BC is shaping up to be absolutely brilliant. The graphics are great (though not quite COD quality) and the destructible environments are done cleverly. They don't just blow up, it's realistic. They also give added depth and variety to both types of play. The maps are huge and sprawling, multiplayer is a more thoughtful and strategic exercise where attacks take planning. A well co-ordinated assault conducted over the headphones would be a marvel to enjoy. Vehicles are great, though I found the choppers a real struggle to control and will take time. Actually, I had a bit of a curve on the main controls - why they can't all map the basic FPS buttons the same across the board... it must be just stubbornness. Single player is involving, with many different ways of going about things and a huge array of weapons, vehicles and tactics. Drawbacks - I miss BF2's Hotswap (though this makes a completely different game) and the precision of aiming and shooting doesn't seem as good as COD (though this could be as I've yet to find a weapon with decent sights) and agreed, the loss of parachutes is a detraction. Otherwise, this is the best FPS demo I've ever seen

5.0 out of 5 stars This game is truly amazing, 6 Jun 2008
Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 
I read the two-star review below, and I had to write my own review.
I cannot understand how anyone can objectively 'review' a game in so few lines and totally ignore the entire game / experience. Sorry, but it's not an accurate review.

Here's my take on this;

I'm not a large FPS fan, couldn't really get into Resistance, etc. and the whole genre for me is a little stale. So I downloaded the demo, and oh my God, it's just worlds apart from anything I've played FPS-wise before. The graphics are amazing, they have a gritty look, that really fits with the theme and style of the game, as for the sound, with the explosions and muffled effect you get when something blows up near you is really impressive.
The demo mission itself was exciting, you can drive vehicles, go into buildings (that you can totally destroy) and the whole experience was breathtaking. To give the game 2 stars because you can't parachute drop - what? How is that a review? Substance please. The A.I. was really impressive, and the different weapons had a brilliant feel to them. I was ducking for cover behind a fence, only to have it blown up by the enemy and then finished off by an enemy gunner in a window. Brilliant.
The multiplayer itself is again, no lag, so deep and interesting, different classes you can be, fixing vehicles, support, assault, recon, demolition. This game is going to be BIG!
I can't fault it and I never thought I'd hear myself saying, I can't wait for this FPS to come out!
Brilliant stuff.
