Battlefield Bad Company isn't just about destructive force, mowing down the opposition or tactical awareness. Bringing all these actions together is a neat,macho plot that will be instantly familiar - and entertaining - to fans of classic character-driven war flicks like Three Kings or Kelly's Heroes.
This month's Edge brings us some gorgeous new images from the singleplayer-focused warfest, and also some details about the game's storyline.
As you probably know by now, Bad Company moves away from Battlefield's traditional blankfaced military carnage to a grunt-level viewpoint, with four soldiers and their personalities chewing through the scenery of an Eastern Bloc warzone.
You're a fresh recruit to B Company, and alongside squad buddies Sarge, Sweetwater and Haggard, you quickly break from orders to invade nearby neutral territory, on the trail of an eye-wateringly large stash of gold bullion.
