Is Bad Company any good?

humanji

I downloaded the demo of this the other day and only played it last night. I quite liked it, but was wondering if anyone can give me their opinions on it and answer a few questions.

1) Am I right in assuming there'll be no split-screen options?
2) Can you play against bots in multi player, or only against people?
3) How many multi player maps are there?
4) Is there really only one multiplayer game mode? I know Conquest mode is supposedly to be released at some point, but it seems odd that a game like this would be released with only one mode.
5) Is the multi player actually fun? I did enjoy it when I played it, but does it just get repetitive or does it keep you coming back?

That's all I can think of asking now.

2) Can you play against bots in multi player, or only against people? Only people afaik
(3) How many multi player maps are there? around 8
4) Is there really only one multiplayer game mode? I know Conquest mode is supposedly to be released at some point, but it seems odd that a game like this would be released with only one mode. Yes 1 but its great fun
5) Is the multi player actually fun? I did enjoy it when I played it, but does it just get repetitive or does it keep you coming back? The perks COD4esque system is great and it keeps me coming back for more

That's all I can think of asking now.

Hope that helped ya.

There is a big thread on the XBox forum which should have all the info you are looking for.

humanji

Thanks for that. Oddly enough, when I searched for this I didn't even think of looking on the console forums.

theres not much of a buzz around it, like compared to bf2, that was huge

AI is ment to be crap,multiplayer is suspose to be where its at.

I caved in a bought it yesterday. It's not a patch on BF2, but it is a lot of fun. Single player is ok. The conversations that your squad have can be hilarious at times. Bu the multiplayer is great. It does have it's problems (like not being able to lie down. What the hell kind of decision was that?), and I haven't played against any muppets yet (but I'm expecting them soon).

@Humanji Yeh i found more or less the same pros and cons as you. Suprising enough I havnt seen many rtards in MP yet (apart from the Humvee Boosters) and ive been playing for near a month now. It seems they all stayed on CoD4.

True but dont EA not have some policy that people cant play their games online unless they are over 18? I know my little cousin had problems even playing Fifa08. Maybe thats the firewall thats keeping the little ****s out.

How would EA determine the age of the player

FreeOSCAR

You have to put your date of birth in when you register your Gamertag/PSN ID. They take it from that.

single player is average but online is great
