Battlefield Bad Company 2

I recently shared my game of the year nominees for this year, and I thought that I should probably review the games that were on the list. This being one of them. The sequel doesn't continue the plot of the past game but the characters from the previous iteration are still in here. This game tries very hard to have a strong plot but it falls short yet again but I'm glad to see that it was better than the first one. The highlight of the plot is the charming characters that are occasionally hilarious and only want to fight this war because they have to. The characters have lost some of their charm (specifically Haggard) for the constant swearing that wasn't present in the first game. It made them seem less their own person and just another shit mouthed person in the military that isn't a person but a statistic. The gameplay and online mode retains it's fun from the first game and improves it with enhanced graphics and better gun sounds. The create a class option is present now and there are more rewards besides credits. The environment is still destructable and more blow-up-able than before. The sole problem with the gameplay is that there are occasional WTF moments where you may just instantly die with no in sight. This occurs in single player and online. One time I just hopped in a tank that had full health and it blew up instantaneously. WTF! Anyways, this was still a solid experience and fun to go back to and it deserves a 8.5/10.
