Poll: Bad company, the insane lumberjack

[Jake19539]

I dont know about the rest of you, but forests are very annoying when there are 5000 snipers hiding in wait to shoot your head off the moment you enter a clearing, but in Bad company you can mow down the whole forest and everything in it.

Its also awsome when your stuck in a fire fight and the baddies took shelter in a house, you just blow a hole in the wall and toss in some grenades.

But what sucks is you can only blow holes in the wall, cant knock down the whole house, and its odd 4 soldiers can take on the Russian army without anyone dying.

Thoughts?

Join the rest of us gamers that have reached the same conclusion around the time of Contra or even earlier, say ,during the time of Operation Wolf.
It's just so ingrained in western culture that one person is able to take on everybody on their own that we can't think of something else anymore.
Completely opposed to the people in the east that need to have more people to succeed, but those others turn out to be complete androgynous people. But that aside.

It isn't that open as it was heralded to be. But that's no surprise.

Bad company was fun - but silly things like your infinite number of respawns without the enemies resetting and the fact you can destroy the walls, but not the ceiling irked me a little bit.

It had some funny lines and the gameplay was refreshing too. The multiplayer was a refreshing change from COD4s small maps. I wouldn't say it was awesome, not by a long way, but it was definitely good fun.

1 man vs. world has been done so many times on almost every media format that it is almost standard now.

It would be awsome it if wasent so perdictable, and I know more about gaming then this post might let off, I was just sharing a thought

Well I certainly liked the game. As I like all Battlefield games. My motto for the Battlefield series:

"The Battlefield series is the best thing to come out of Sweden since Swedish Meatballs."

That's mine.

Funny enough, i just so happened to have bought the game yesterday and im finding it quite fun and humerous. I may not be very far (defending that stupid tank in the second chapter), but it certainly has wowed me.

"I used to have a cousin who had the most beutiful voice, but her face was as ugly as a tin of dog food"
"Is that the one you dated?"
"Yep"
".....Sweet"

Also i love the whole "blowing holes in walls" part of game. Over all, Bad Company has quite shocked me with its awsomeness. Here i was expecting a cheap knock-off of CoD4, but was giving something new and refreshing to play. Was only $100AUS. Seemed pretty cheap. I plan on trying online when i finish the main story.

I lost interest in Bad Company pretty quickly for three reasons.

1. When I fire a rocket at a corner of a room, hoping to make a quick exit through that specific direction as to avoid being slaughtered by a tank, I don't want a different section of the wall to fall away, revealing my position while the spot I shot at remains intact.

2. As fun as it was at first to have a super powerful drill that could kill everything. The realism took a rather large kick when tanks had to run away from me and my deadly powertools.

3. Buildings don't collapse. It won't matter how many times you shell the crap out of a two story house, those on the first floor will be protected by a shell proof second floor made of wood.

I thought it was a technically (as great visuals, sound and gameplay) good game, but its story was shit and it turned out to be another of EAs pumped out money games so i lost interest in it after I beat it first time through.

AHA! You are WRONG! It is not JUST western culture, but in fact MOST cultures, including eastern ones which have the 'hero' archetype narrative. It's just that western cultures, by which I assume you mean Greek, also invented drama to make the story more interesting. As for whatever else this topic is about... um....... ummmmmm...... no?

Actually, I was aiming more at the contemporary western culture. I am sure a convincing case could be made for the Greek solo hero (Hercules, for instance), I meant the likes of Rambo and such, in which a single person kills people equal to the number of inhabitants of a small country with pretty much his bare hands. And oh my god I just realised that was an appalling run-on sentence. Anyway. I am not referring to the push of a button and off goes the nuclear bomb, but the machine gun/bow/machete/whateverthehellthehero'ssignatureweaponis.

I had a chance to play the demo and it was one of the best games that I've had a chance to play
