i would like to point out that i was intending on mainly focusing on Single player. me myself enjoy the single player FPS, and unluckly this being my first gen owning my own console and buying the games i want i have been greatly dissapointed in the FPS genre when it comes to single player FPS. So much that after playing Killzone 3 sp and unable to finish i am now getting into RPG and also going back to play better games, currently playing Deus Ex, and that game is challenging, fun and requires tactics and skills i have not seen in an shooter and it came out 11 years ago.

Yeah, when it comes to the single player in FPS's, what has annoyed me most, and it's probably due to CoD and it's huge sales, is the horrendous scripting of the game. The story has turned into one loong, narrow corridor, where you will end up doing the exact same thing everytime. Every person will have the same experience. And that sucks. It's what annoyed me the most when I played Bad company 2, since Bad company 1's story was rather open ended at times, which I really liked.

Do you mean the level design of Bad Company 1 or the story in Bad Company 1? What I saw was open-ended would be maybe the hunting of gold down, and the level layout. As far as I can tell, the story was linear. I would say also the story was a decent change from the norm, reminding me of M*A*S*H a bit, unlike the sequel.

Yeah, it was the level design. The fact that the story doesn't change isn't a problem, since it's a straight up "get the gold!" story, though that and the characters was it's charm, definitely. Going back to the levels, sure some parts were linear, but a great deal of the game was open ended, as in had multiple paths. The 2 most memorable ones for me are the secret passage that leads behind the castle and troops in the level where you have to rescue your friends, and when you have to get to the port through a huge field, just blitzed past in a light vehicle, it was so fun.

I remember successfully completing a number of levels in the first by going around the edge of the map and sneaking by everything. For me, the story in the first was better, and I was hoping the second would have them as mercenaries battling the other mecenaries. But, NOPE, they ended up toning down the humor a lot, and had a storyline like MW2. It was SO disappointing to me. I didn't laugh as much in the second one's single player. I feel Bad Company does a MUCh better job as a series when it tries to lampoon other FPS titles. B-Company in no way, shape or form are supposed to be hardcore spec-ops guys. I want to know what happened that got them back into the military, considering the ending of the first.
