Battlefield:Bad Company (PS3/360)

Lol wools great avatar

Some of my favourite moments have been playing as the recon class, hiding in a bush only to have an enemy sit right next to me (god bless the recons camoflauge) and then have his squad spawn on him, that was a really tense moment Then as they began to move away I pulled out my pistol "knife pop pop" three kills for me

Playing throught the single player on hard at the moment, damn that helicopter!! Just going through picking up the last of the single player achievements before gettting back into the online mode.

I was away when this came out so going to open it tonight. I thought the demo was great so its good to hear your enjoying it

The full version's online mode has all the vehicles available doesn't it? Choppers etc?

What are the other maps like? Anything like BF2s? I loved how there was just so many large structures in that game you could climb to the top of and just sit there with a sniper rifle the entire match. I remember there was a dam level where you'd get so many people fighting all over that, but not far from it you'd have a massive scaffold you could just lay at the top of and pick them all off.

Apart from golf carts, I think all the vehicles from single player are available online.

There are 8 maps at the moment, and I think all apart from Ascension feature a variety of vehicles available at different stages of the battle, with some featuring a lot more than others. The attackers generally start with more, but they do also start with the disadvantage of having limited respawns. The vehicles available usually depends on which set of crates are being fought over at the time and on some maps, the defenders don't get any until they've been pushed back from the first base. It is possible to sneak past the attackers, steal vehicles from their base and use them against them though

There's a brief description of the maps here.

Having a blast with this online and looking forward to the Conquest mode DLC whenever that comes out.

Deconstruction looks like a sweet map, is that large scaffold in the distance of the pic climbable?

[FatGit_UK]

Yes, the scaffolding and the tall crane are climbable

After reading comments on the game i held off.
A friend convinced me (he's really picky about his shooters) to get it.
Loving every minute so far!

Have warmed to this now...both single and online.
your team are nowhere near as useless on hard as they are on normal either!

I am still rubbish at multi player tho...scraped to Rank 8. Dont think I will ever get the achievement for best in a round tho...the very few times ive done well someone has glitched and had 10000+ points

That's what I thought too, but it's just a case of learning the best use of the different classes and picking the right one for the map etc, then getting into the right game. I got mine playing as Support on Defend, with about 460 points. It's fairly easy to pick up points with Support as you can heal team members, repair vehicles and gun them down with the M60 (if it's unlocked)

Picked this up on a whim the other day, not touched single player yet but I'm massively suprised by the online. It's chuffin great!!

Was reading my strat guide for BF:Modern Combat on the bog today and blow me if i wasn't awash with nostalgia!

Great maps like Backstab, Black Gold, Honor and Dammage really need a comeback, I'm really hoping DICE consider this (although with people getting 'bored' of Gold Rush, I hope this doesn't go the way of Shadowrun...)

The Conquest mode should really open things up, maps specifically, the addition of parachutes, as per the achievement, hopefully indicating the scale involved.

I still love this game, the scope for cunning is unparrelled in FPS's

Hmm. Not so sure about that. I've just spent the evening playing Frontlines, and it shows up the Battlefield multiplayer for the shabby low rent affair it really is.

[BaronSqwelch]

specifically, the addition of parachutes, as per the achievement,

the achievement isn't actually a parachute tho...its darwins parachute.
ie jumping out without one on!

sorry if you knew that...but ive explained it to quite a few people online. one tip tho is never tell the pilot how to get the achievement whilst you are in the gunner seat hehe

I have hit a bit of a wall with this now...no-one plays as a team. they just leg it towards death or camp on the artillary/as a sniper. need to join a squad but no-one on my friends list plays it.

Ah, my bad, I got it last night after you mentioned it, thanks .


I play with a few regulars, 2 support (one constantly healing one motaring) 1 demo and me as specialist c4ing crossroads etc, works wonders and really adds to the game, i'd recommend it as we hardly end up seperated/dead.

SP is pretty good, not great, but the dialogue is well written & quite funny at times. MP is tremendous fun even though I always seem to get cuffed from miles away from snipers Have had some fun moments with the RPG, a guy was firing out of a door at 2 enemies then I stepped beside him fired my RPG and blew them to bits. Good fun.
