Battlefield: Bad Company

Battlefield shifts its focus to a single-player experience and the results are thrilling, immersive and just plain fun. Multiplayer's still no slouch, though. Also: tanks!

It’s finally arrived – and while the silly story, drab voice acting, contrived dialogue and limp characterisation made us wince more than once, the world that it takes place in is more than enough to compensate for said errors. For the uninitiated out there, the story of Bad Company is this: you play Preston Marlow, a new recruit in B Company (hence the title) working with a ragtag threesome of war vets in the midst of a ...

Destroy your expectations

The newest Battlefield game doesn't seem like a Battlefield game at all. Luckily, that's exactly what its creators had in mind - something different. To begin with, this entry in the acclaimed multiplayer-focused series is much more interested in single player. Everyone knows Battlefield can handle intense online competition, which is why the makers of Bad Company are eager to prove that it can also excel at storytelling and characters. Soldiers at your control aren't generic avatars anymore. ...   » Read Full Battlefield: Bad Company preview
