I've heard quite a bit about Battlefield: Bad Company, what with it's destructible maps and great online, and after watching a lot of convincing gameplay videos, I decided to download the demo. It's only made me più impressed.


What I've learned about the game so far is, te are a member of "Bad Company", a special military squad made of troublemakers and misfits that are sent into battle before the rest of the military because they are expendable. te fight along a couple of other silly soldiers known as Sweetwater and Haggard, as well as the leader of the bunch, Sergeant D. Redford, who volunteered to shorten his term of service to the army.

From the moment te see it, Bad Company is a feast for the eyes. The graphics are all great, the pistole and characters detailed, and the explosions sharp. The big visual amazement is the very highly destructible environments. Houses are realistically destroyed and watertowers, trees, and satellites fall.

Another great part of Bad Company is it's sound. Turn up the volume, because gunshots sound great!

But easily the most special part of the game is it's genuine humor. The demo had me laughing all the way through. All of the characters crack great jokes, they're clever, and each time I played the demo the same puns never got old.

There are a couple of things to criticize, however. The enemy AI seems very poor. I blew up a whole house with an RPG once and none of the enemy soldiers below seemed to hear me. There was even one right successivo to the house and he didn't even flinch.

Also, I found myself plunging the revive-o-needle doohickey, the game's primary means of restoring te back to full health, into myself every few seconds. It is a realistic feature, but it probably gets tedious throughtout the game.

Albeit these minor complaints, I was very impressed with this demo, and will likely get the full game in the near future. Don't be surprised to see me write a full review in a few months.
