I just ordered a copy of battlefield gold edition and it is amazing
Good graphics
Since i have cod4 i tried bad company since i heard that it was really good.
The first match i tried convinced me to buy it. The fact that you can break through stuff is amazing. I love getting on the tank and killing people. Although, there should be more ranks like 50 or 60, not 25.

I loved, and keep loving this game!

The Frostbite engine makes this game unique and all the more fun. I played through the single player campaign nearly twice before I really started playing the online game, and now I'm addicted - it's that good.

The campaign isn't your serious fps. But it's more fun that way. Playing the campaign will get you familiar with the weapons, and give you good practice with vehicles. Then you'll be ready to play online. If you don't have a broadband connection, I wouldn't recommend this game, as it's a relatively short campaign, and the AI is predictable. However, online play makes the replay value soar.

The Gold Edition is worth the extra dough, as you'll start with a few more weapons online. Battlefield: Bad Company is the funnest game I've played in a long while.

Near Perfect , But should soon be there.

The game is a very fun game, I primarily play online, but it lacks some basic gameplay features that should have came from launch. You cant talk to your whole team via mics just ur squad (up to 4 peeps) I personally dont likethat but never the less the mics hardly ever work, which is crappy but there should be a patch to fix this, hence the near perfect but soon to get there title. The fact that u cant make a custom match of yuor friends only is stupidly ridiculous but once again another patch is coming. Last butnot least, only one game mode for online but the downloadable content offered for free here shortly of a new combat mode ala team deathmatch aka Conquest Mode should fix that.

Still a very fun game and awesome audio and good visuals provides alot of fun for my clan, but we'd like to have clan battles so Id say when they get all that fixed, this will definitely get the majority of my gaming time. Well worth the buy, and the gold edition at that, 5 guns you dont get until u hit top rank otherwise really come in handy.

Is it Better Than Call of Duty 4? Hell Yeah.

Battlefield: Bad Company is probably the best FPS I've ever played. It brings a whole new mechanic into multiplayer with the ability to blow through walls, and has a huge selection of weapons that each have their own advantages.

Graphics: A. I'm not sure if the framerate is better then CoD4's 60 frames per second but all the animations are great and the explosions look very realistic.

Sound: A+. Best in any game. Period. From the shots from a machine gun to the clanking of bullet shells on the ground, this game has the best sound effects in any game. You will even notice how your footsteps echo while you're in small rooms.

Single Player: A. The main focus of the Bad Company campaign seems to just try to make you laugh. Although there is nothing funny about war, your squadmates will shout out hilarious one-liners and the cutscenes are even better. As for the story, it just seemed like a last-minute idea that the developers threw into the game. It's not a bad story, just not an epic one like in the Metal Gear Solid Series.

Multiplayer: A+. The multiplayer in Bad Company makes up for not having a two-player splitscreen or co-op. You fight on battlefields inspired by the campaign levels. There are two teams, attackers or defenders, and each on has to destroy or protect gold crates. The maps are huge, and you have a 3D mini-map that displays the objectives and where your friends are. With the ability to blow through walls, the game is entirely changed. Instead of shooting at a far away sniper with your assault rifle, how about your blow up the whole building he is hiding in. Or if a doorway is too well guarded, take out an RPG and make your own door. And with the new squad spawn (you can spawn with one of your teammates instead of back at your base), one attacker can become four in a second and the defenders will have to deal with that many more people. In addition, multiplayer matches always have great connection, being disconnected is practically unheard of.

Classes: There are 5 player classes who each have their own advantages, and here is a quick summary of them:

Assault: Use a quick firing and accurate gun to kill enemies. If you get shot, you have an infinite life source that you can use repeatedly. Disadvantages of assault: assault players don't really have a way of killing vehicles, despite the grenade launcher which is too weak to take down a tank.

Demolition: Use a powerful shotgun at close range to kill your enemies with one shot. You can also plant mines for tanks, or you can shoot them with an RPG. Disadvantages of demolition: the RPG will shoot far away, but there is no actual way to take down enemies from afar.

Recon: Use a sniper to take out far away enemies. If a tank or any other vehicle is threatening you, use a laser designator to target the vehicle and steer an air strike towards your target. Disadvantages of recon: even though your pistol is powerful, it can't stand up to an assault rifle or shotgun at close range.

Specialist: Use a gun with an extremely high rate of fire to quickly and quietly take out your enemy. You also have a tracer gun the can point out enemy vehicles to the demolitionists on your team. Also you have C4 which can be thrown and then remotely detonated, which is great for defending key points. Disadvantages of specialist: None really, except to take down a tank you have to walk right up to it to plant the C4, but other than that in my opinion it is the most well-rounded class. Many would say assault is well-rounded, but they can heal themselves which is really helpful.

Support: The medics, but don't get me wrong these guys are dangerous. Use a machine gun to mow down your enemies. You can repair vehicles and heal teammates for massive amounts of points. Also you can call in an airstrike and kill many enemies without getting your hands dirty. Disadvantages of support: None. With the ability to heal yourself and your teammates, and to keep a steady stream of bullets on your enemy while they reload their guns, support could easily be the best class. If only more people on my team chose to be them, I wouldn't have to hide in a corner after losing virtually all my health from an sniper shot or an RPG.

Well, so much for keeping it short and sweet. But I really think this much information is needed when you decide to buy a game. I could go on and on, but this should give you a nice taste of the game.

no keynoard mouse support ruins the game for me.

I have played all the battlefield games on PC, and the PS3 controller just ruins this game for me which I why I gave it a one star and makes the game unplayable for me.

The PS3 can support mouse and keyboard in games, and as shown in Unreal Tournament 3 there is a lot of call for it. Why they didn't include it is beyond my understanding because it would make a lot of angry pc gamers who didn't get this new game on pc a little happier.

If they are afraid mouse and kyboards give3 the player too much of an advantage they should have ps3 controller only servers for multiplayer just like Unreal tournament III does.

I get it and respect the difference with the whole graphic engine, but the game has its flaws: less intuitive controls, kind of slopping vehicle controls, and it causes system freezes on the PS3. It fun boom

Great game

This game has the best sound of any game I've ever played.Most of the weapons have a distinct sound.The tanks sound like you are inside of it.AI is good though your squadmates could do more to help you out.Graphics are great explosions are fantastic.I like being able to destroy the enviorment if you shoot trees they fall.This is a must buy for shooter fans worth eating Ramen noodles for.Enjoy!

As fun as Call of Duty 4!

I hear a lot that people who like COD4 are looking for a new online shooter and this is the next best thing out there.

I will say for one COD4 is a faster pace game but the things you can do are endless on Bad Company.

The sound and graphics are amazing! and the story mode is funny, long, and a lot different than any other war game I have ever played before.

Online is a lot of fun also, the maps are big and theirs no laggy rooms or rooms the get closed like on COD4.

If your getting this game for the Online get the Gold edition, you get 5 guns that really helps you out online wise. If your not going to play it online just get the $[...] normal game.

The only thing I wish this game had was a way to do stuff with like a clan, things based on doing stuff with clans. Other than that I give this game 5 stars {Online and Off} not just cuase I bout it, becuase it really deserves 5 stars.

TRY THE DEMO FOR FREE AT THE PLAYSTATION STORE.

I started playing this game because of a fellow COD 4 player recommendation. Most comparisons are to Call of Duty, and for good reason. Both games are excellent.

I think kills are harder earned on this new game.

The first noticeable differences are the ability to drive/attack from different "vehicles". A light and heavy tank, two helicopters, Hummers, and boats are up for use. Serious fun.

There is no juggernaut or martyrdom!!

I compare the online play to Search and Destroy on COD. But it is S&D on steroids. S&D times ten. S&D on extended play. It is a slower online game with more thinking required than say Domination, or Team Death Match. "Kill hogs" from COD may not enjoy this slower less selfish play. Friendly fire is on at all times.

The last major difference is being able to destroy the entire map. Imagine being able to go through the Backlot or Ambush map on COD and blow holes in any wall. If you knew a player was hiding and guarding the door way? In Bad Company blowing out the wall in shooting through the new hole is an option.

Most COD lovers will get hooked on this game too.

The single player is great too.
