The Battlefield series has been a long running favorite of
mine. Bad Company 2 is still my favorite game in the series. It has been slowly but surely dying to the
newer titles. The mass majority of
players that still play the game are based in Europe and Latin America. The great thing about the online side of the game is that mostly only die-hard fans still play it, therefore most of the nonsense is weeded out. The online side of the game is a dying breed,
but the campaign still holds its own against the newer titles.
You take the role of Marlowe, a Lieutenant in B Company, a
squad of misfit elite soldiers tasked to find the Black Project and stop it. The Black Project is an EMP weapon created by
the Japanese during WWII, and the Russians are trying to find it in the present
era Latin/South America to aid in their taking over of the world. The story line is both comedic and
serious. It really makes you want to
move on to the next set of missions. It
is a fantastical story line that was deviated from in the main Battlefield
series.
The problem I find with it is the ending. It leaves on a cliff hanger -"They're
coming in through Alaska"- and it hasn't been continued. For some reason, D.I.C.E. hasn't continued
with the Bad Company story line, and has focused these past seven years on
making the main line Battlefield series- Ones whose campaigns fall short of
spectacular and instead focus on the online aspects.
I would love to see Bad Company make a comeback on the
newest version of Frostbite. It would be
well wanted and deserved for fans of Bad Company. It would also be a nice break from the main
line Battlefield series.
