Hi all,

 

We have just published a review of Battlefield: Bad Company Beta

impressions - if you could post a link on your site that would be very

much appreciated.*

*Quote: Bearing in mind that /Battlefield: Bad Company/ is just a beta,

and we're probably another three months away from release, the game is

surprisingly polished. There were a few framerate drops, but only when

the action gets really frantic – which it often does thanks to the

destructible environments. Likewise, there were a few network dropouts,

but EA are still tweaking the servers, so this is to be expected.

 

There are still a few balancing issues to sort out – for example, it

takes what seems like an inordinate amount of bullets to kill another

player – but I'm sure they'll be sorted out as development progresses.

 

Gold Rush is an interesting twist to the usual multiplayer games too,

but I think the big story with /Battlefield: Bad Company/ is going to be

the single player storyline. Can a game that has been resolutely

multiplayer only since day one really come up with a compelling single

player game? You'll have to wait another couple of months to find out.

 

 

Cheers guys!
