I used to love the multiplayer focused Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2 back in the days. Large scale warfare, vehicles and 64 players on one map was something new and still hasn't really been done.

Good visual effects, graphics and sound; Decent story and voice acting; Hints of Sci Fi; Trademark Multiplayer.

Poor dialogues; Modern shooter cliches like for e.g; Recharging health; Short single player campaign.

This was Just fine as a Game etc; But there is an Unresolved Issue with My Copy? The playback has crapped out, for the ending Final Mission: I made 1 attempt to Complete the assignment, and Upon attempting to Re Play etc: I was unable 2: The Display has gone Totally Dark: Totally Blank, 1 can hear...

First Impressions My reaction is Monumentally helped by Infinity Ward's farce with the PC version of Modern Warfare 2, EA and DICE are hoping to piece away a large slice of the pie Infinity Ward have been enjoying for the past few years with their new multiplayer shooter Battlefield: Bad Company 2.

We hold the Battlefield franchise close to our hearts-Battlefield 1942 revolutionized online warfare, and Battlefield 2 is one of the best multiplayer shooters of all time. But the series hasn't fostered another winner in recent memory.

Brilliant multiplayer game modes; balanced soldier kits; destructible environments

Uninspired single-player; slow multiplayer-server browser; check-point save games

It's been a weird year for first person shooters. With the success of Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 2 , the release of EA's Battlefield Bad Company 2 in March was a little iffy.

in March was a little iffy. Despite its more team-focused online play, large maps, and solid vehicle-based action, this title never really got the attention it deserved.

While 2008's explosive Battlefield: Bad Company delivered the goods in its monstrous multiplayer mash-ups, the shallow single-player mode lacked the punch required to put it in the pantheon of first-person shooters currently lorded over by the Call Of Duty franchise.

Love it or hate it, there's no way you can deny that the spectre of Modern Warfare now looms large over every war themed first-person-shooter. After such a po-faced depiction of war and terror in the first game, by the time Modern Warfare 2 was halfway through it was clearly taking a run up to jump...

While consolers may argue that the awesome multiplayer mayhem littered with the bodies of enemies and rubble of felled buildings was hardly novel -- after all, they did get the original Bad Company game -- for PC gamers, Bad Company 2 was an FPS game changer.

COD is over-fished With Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 1 and 2 effectively rewriting the book on modern-theatre combat games, some players might be forgiven for thinking that the Battlefield series has had its day.
