Bad Company 1 gave me nearly 300 hours. It was just that much fun even with the bugs. Get rid of the bugs, improve the graphics, controls, and have Destruction 2.0, god damn... I can't ask for more...

i enjoyed battlefield bad company's single player more just because how the game doesn't take itself seriously.

Bad Company is a spinoff of the main series, probably created to capitalize on console fps popularity.  Their main Battlefield series is the one you are referring to I guess.  BF1943 on consoles is a nice little pick up and play version for the Arcade.  Not sure what your problem is with that one either.

screwed up BF43?

Battlefield 1943 was fucking awesome.It was a major hit.43m killson Xbox Live first week,that says some thing

Yea BF43 was awesome at launch until they still havnt fixed the bugs in the game, the classes are so uneven and just a quick cash in.

Got the beta for this baby.

Was this written by EAs convert marketing group? LOL. MW2 is awsome, the fact that the MP is about 1 hour shorter than it was in MW seems to be the striking point for the haters... lol. IW made a decision. It decided to focus on MP instead of single player, and I am glad. I personally play MP 99% of the time.

And I bet you that Bad Company 2's multiplayer is going to be the best console MP. BC1 is already for me, despite its flaws, that's just how great vehicles, big maps, and destructible enviornments are. I can forgive occasional spawn campers if I'm allowed to blow open a wall behind campers with a C4.

Crap article. The campaign is great, and it moves so quickly you don't really think about the story. It is a very fast paced and a very intense campaign, that is really only there to prepare you for the multiplayer.

When you have created arguably the best multiplayer in any game, why do you want a radical change? The added killstreaks and other customisations are a fantastic addition, and the maps are great too. The isn't much change to the gameplay, but that would be A BAD THING

Don't get me wrong, I will get probably Battlefield Bad Company 2, just not first day and that is only because of Final Fantasy XIII's proximity. It is a vehicular based shooter, so a direct comparison is not really valid

I don't like how you imply that vehicles are the center piece of Bad Company. Its not. Both infantry and vehicles are crucial, a balance is needed. You go gung ho with a tank? You'll get hammered with RPGs and get C4ed from behind in the ensuing chaos. Go assault an enemy base allone with a chopper? You'll get shot down. You need ground support AND air support. You need to have standard infantry AND snipers AND anti-tank units.
