    It’s hard to care. It would be easy to quibble about AI faults in the singleplayer if it served any greater purpose than being an entertaining distraction for players when the multiplayer servers run quiet. We doubt that will happen for quite some time. DICE have reinvigorated a genre that was in mild decline on its native platform. The experience is equal parts nostalgia and evolution. We only wish more were striving in this space. Read more

    Getting delayed can often times mean a death sentence for a game, the hype dies down, people look else where for their fix. Battlefield’s move back to releasing this week was either due to the developer needing more time or EA deciding that they might prefer to avoid going head to head against MW2. Either way, the time is here, so what is the final result? Read more

    Accepted wisdom holds that Call of Duty is a great all-rounder, with good single-player campaigns and a fun but conventional multiplayer. In the Battlefield series, by contrast, single player is okay but it’s almost an afterthought, while the squad-based multiplayer is about as sophisticated and satisfying as you’ll find in the gaming world.

    The campaign is a focused, largely linear adventure that takes you to a variety of gorgeous locations. The aforementioned arctic and jungle landscapes are standouts, but other places live up to the high standard. Driving a tank through a countryside in the full bloom of autumn provides eye candy and cannon fodder aplenty, while speeding around a dry seabed in an ATV brings strange sights, not to mention a particularly fierce firefight in the courtyard of an old fortress.

    • Destructibility is strategically powerful and immensely fun, Electrifying and addictive online multiplayer, Great campaign with witty characters, Beautiful, well-desig...
    • Occasional technical hiccups, Minor connectivity issues.

    Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Vietnam definitely feels different to what Bad Company 2 veterans are used to. And while not everything works with the new formula, it’s a refreshing change from its parent game that is, unlike a lot of DLC, worth every penny with hours of frantic gameplay on offer. Read more

    • Breaks the Bad Company 2 formula, Emphasis on infantry combat, Vietnam-era soundtrack, Four fantastic maps, New weapons and vehicles, Encourages teamwork
    • Minor balancing issues on certain maps, Questionable hit registry at times, Limited destructibility, Vehicles are a tad overpowered, Can get choppy when things go boom...

    Ok, gearing up for battlefield 3, thought I would check this out. Problems right off the top, first part of the game could not even knife the guy. So after a few updates and setting changes I'm in. Ok, now if I am to match this game to other FPS games, call of duty modernwarfare even counter strike for multi. Would I pick this to be better? NO. Haven said that I did like the destructable terrain, nice work Dice. That is the one thing I did love the most of the game. Read more

    • Its a battlefield game.
    • tech problems and bad AI.
