The ultimate non-linearity - Battlefield: Bad Company 2 REVIEW

Most people say that BFBC2 is the last great BF and they're certainly right. BFBC2 brings us a whole new world, with the same looks as BFBC, but with different mechanics and added dynamicity. It's a totally linear-free experience that will take away much more time than just one campaign playthrough.
PRESENTATION
Russia is evading, holy buttholes! The story is based on some bad Ruskis trying to take over the world, but it's not really explained who is their leader. The squad of four (Sweetwater, Sarge (no named), Haggart and Marlowe (the guy you play as)) are the main pratagonists, and once again they have made me laugh. While not everybody might find the hmour amusing, it gives a nice touch because the story sometimes just doesn't make sense, and the voice acting can be inadequate, more or less, boring. Everyone of the four has their own way of fighting, and after you finish the campaign (if you even finish it) and jump right into the multiplayer, you'll see that the campaign was just a preparation for something big. I wasted about 5-6 hours killing dumb enemies in single player while i could have spent much more and leveled more in multiplayer. However, the campaign is not boring, it's cool, thrilling and entertaining. 
GRAPHICS
BFBC2 looks cool, even for today's standards. The Frostbite engine used in the game was something that made BF3 (in a way). The PC players and the console players will be having the same experience but the PC players have a built in dedicated server browser in case something goes down, on the other hand, the game looks the same on all three platforms.
MULTIPLAYER
10-12 maps, each with their special characteristics. Some can be only in certain game modes, while others fit in for any. As in other modern FPSes, you level up and unlock weapons, gadgets (perks) for each class. There are 4 classes: assault, engineer, medic and recon. Assault brings the ammo, engineer can have a vehicle fixing kit and a rocker launcher, medic comes in with med packs and an LMG and recon has a sniper rifle or a shotgun and has C4 (C4 can take out an Abrams tank BTW). When you progress, you unlock items for classes that you scored the most with. For example, i mostly played with assault and engineer and got all of their items pretty damn fast, while it took me more time for recon and medic. 

+ Great multiplayer                                          - Voice acting
   A good choice of weapons                               Campaign
   A great choice of maps                                    
   Hard but challenging level up system

THE VERDICT
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 brings back the bad company and puts it where it belongs. It certainly is one of the best Battlefields at the moment. I give this game a 9/10. For more reviews, check ot my blog. Laters.
