What's Happening

My gaming weekend (10th-12th of August 2012) this week: Battlefield: Bad Compay

With this weeks' edition of MGW I am proud to present you a game that is unique in its humor and gameplay at the same time. Battlefield: Bad Company set the tone for shooters which don't just have weapon elements but also social relationships in the game.

The four protagonists in the game are creating some sort of vibe, after playing a few levels you are really getting to know your teammates and with this also the feeling of companionship is spreading.

You are playing as Preston Marlowe and you get thrown into the B-Company because of a reason you don't even know. The B-Company, also known as the ''Bad Company'' is the place where the worst soldiers in the army get commanded in. As Marlowe you are forced into a squad with Haggard, Sweetwater and your Seargant but just call him ''Sarge''. Haggard is a true master of explosives and shotguns and loves to blow up things, also army equipment, which is why he is in the b-company. Sweetwater is a technical specialist, he hacked an army computer, this is why he got in here. Sarge is the only person that hasn't done anything, he has been promised to be retired after this mission and he is a big fan of fishing by the way.

In the beginning you don't even know who you fight until you see russian soldiers shooting at you and screaming when you hit them. With your health-injector, your electronical vehicle repair unit and your weapon you are ready for the battlefield. After a few fighting scenarios you notice that your enemies are as allmost tough as you are(talking about hard-mode), with this precise shooting is a must.  But not only assault rifles and grenades are the arsenal you are capable of firing towards your enemy, also LMGs on vehicles and weapon stations with big penetrating power.

Within the story there are a lot of twists and turns because there are not only the russians as enemies but also another fraction. Also a big secret is going to get discovered by the infernal squad which is testing their companionship.

In the end Battlefield:Bad Company is both, an entertaining shooter with serious gunplay elements and also a game with a sense of humor and persons with outstanding characters that have never been seen before in shooter games.
