GameOn! Reviews Battlefield: Bad Company

Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008

What’s up everyone, today we will be doing a quick review of Battlefield: Bad Company.

Battlefield: Bad Company cover (Xbox 360)

Overview:

This
is a Military FPS in which you are part of a 4 man squad in a fictional
war in the not to distant future where the US is pitted against the
Russian Federation.

Features:

Classes:
The five classes in Battlefield: Bad Company are Assault, Demolitions, Recon, Specialist, and Support.


Vehicles:
The
vehicles available during game play range from tanks, infantry fighting
vehicles, armored cars, attack helicopters, patrol boats, and even golf
carts during single and multiplayer games.

Ranks:
There
are 25 ranks, each from the U.S. Army (Corporal, Sergeant, Colonel,
etc.) which the highest rank being General of the Army which takes
37,000 in game points to achieve.


Awards:
Online players can unlock three different awards.

Trophies: Are awarded for multiple kills in a certain class, kills to defend an objective, and for other team-related actions.

Patches:
Are awarded for gaining certain trophies and then completing certain
criteria in an online match. (Can only be awarded once to a player)

Wildcards: Are awarded once to a player for a combination of many different criteria and are harder to unlock than trophies or patches.

This
game also includes the Frostbite Game Engine which allows 90% of the
environment to be destroyed. Which means you can blow walls down with a
grenade or mow down the nearest tree line with your vehicles 50 cal.
machine gun. (Very enjoyable!!)

The player is able to use their weapon to damage the environment enabling the player to create ambush sites or take out a sniper's cover.

Objectives:

The
single player objectives of Battlefield: Bad Company are to find the
hidden gold bars and collectible weapons although these objectives are
not required.

Multiplayer supports up to 24 players. Gold Rush
was the only multiplayer mode included in the initial release of
Battlefield: Bad Company. It’s an Attackers vs. Defenders scenario, in
which one team must defend two crates filled with gold while the other
team attempts to destroy the crates. Once the crates are destroyed,
more of the map is available to fight on with new crates appearing,
along with added reinforcement numbers. The attacking team has a
limited amount of respawns to achieve their goal of capturing the 3-5
gold stashes either by setting charges or simply destroying the 2
crates of gold at each base. The defending team has an unlimited amount
of respawns available, but their goal is to exhaust the attacking teams
respawns.


Final Word:
All in all the game is quite fun to play and keeps you involved at all
times for an enjoyable gaming experience. I would recommend this game
to any FPS fan.

Rock Band 2 Goes Official For This Fall!!

Monday, June 30th, 2008

I Found this on Engadget

RB 2

RB 2 Guitar

While the original Rock Band is still going strong, Harmonix is already looking towards the next bit of kit that it hopes will be cluttering your place, with it now getting official with Rock Band 2 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. This time around, it seems the Xbox 360 will be getting a jump on things with a launch in September, with the PS3 version set to follow “later in the year.” Both of those will, naturally, be coming with all new instruments, including the tasty Fender Stratocaster pictured above, but you will be able to use your current gear if you want to spare the extra clutter and save a few bucks. What’s more, you’ll also be able to carry over all your current downloaded content and, as IGN reports, you’ll even be able to download and play new tracks on Rock Band 1 once Rock Band 2 is out. Of course, Harmonix is saving most of the details for E3 next month, but you can find a few more tidbits in IGN’s interview with Harmonix’s Dan Teasdale available at the read link below.”

I own the ful RB kit, and a RB 2 is coming out? YEEESSSSSSSS!!! I was just playing this yesterday actually. Im praying the guitar is better made this time around too because im sure we can all agree, Guitar Hero got it right. I wonder how this will stack up against Guitar Hero 4 being GH4 will have a Rockband style kit to it(drums,mic guitar).
