Bad Company 2 has finally been released. Since I passed on Modern Warfare, I hoped that Bad Company 2 would be everything I wanted.  As reviews for the game came out, I realized that at least one aspect of the game did not meet my expectations.  But overall, it appears that the game got good reviews and most importantly it does not have any deal breakers for me.

The Bad

Before the game was released, I had see online reports that Bad Company 2 was going to support up to 40 players on the PC. But unfortunately, it seems like the game only supports 32 players now. Even though this is still better than the measly 18 players for Modern Warfare 2, I am still disappointed that it’s not 40 players.

The Good

Destruction, destruction, destruction.  Can’t really say this enough because almost everything can be destroyed in the game.  No words can do this justice so just go out and find a video where you can see this happen!

Although 32 players are not as good as my expected 40 or 64 from other Battlefield games, I will give this game credit for increasing the number of players for the PC.  The xbox and playstation versions of the game are limited to 24 players which is too bad.  But understanding that the PC can handle more and actually using that power is just a smart move on the developer and should keep the PC gamers, including me, happy.

Conclusion

I will be giving this game a go as soon as soon as I get my new graphics card.  I’ll see you on the battlefield solder!
