    Bad Company Single-player Impressions

    IGN has posted up a new article today giving their impressions of the single player campaign of BF:BC. They've also released some new video footage. Take a look:
    In our last few play sessions with Bad Company we couldn't help but feel as though the game moved at a slower clip than most FPSes. Almost like it was trying to be more of a tactical and slow-paced shooter than we would have expected from a typical Battlefield game. All of that has changed now. Maybe it was the unfinished software code handcuffing the action but all is right in this latest build. Aiming is quick -- we even toned down the sensitivity a bit -- and responsive and lets you move from target to target without much of a worry. Health injections and other equipment are also at the ready in the campaign, unlike multiplayer where you need to level up to earn certain items.

    The destruction is still largely based around your grenade launcher that's attached to your default machine gun in Bad Company, though things like the shotgun are relegated to the standard grenade tosses. To get to a bad guy firing through a window all you need to do is launch a grenade into the side of the building, Wait for the loads of debris to clear and land a few well-placed shots, it's that simple.

      I hate EA simply because this is not for the PC.

        Oh shut up already. Every time something is posted for Bad Company we don't need people saying "omg wish it was for PC!!1111!11". We get that, and I'm sure we all agree here, but the fact of the matter is, it isn't. So let's comment on the news rather than repeating the same thing over and over. We'll get our new hardcore Battlefield soon enough.

              Good to know there's going to be a demo. Still out on the wire about this one. I'm not too sure about the effectiveness of the grenade launcher. Looks like you can just use that all the time to win the game =/

                Awe, this makes me want to spend my money into an X360 instead of an electric guitar But I hate consoles, so I will not buy me one! The video looks great, I love the sound and such, awesomeness.

                          Awesome the Frostbite Engine looks promising, really great job on that game. Sound seem to be improved as well, I remember watching an interview where they said they have been working on how the sound is prioritized over the other depending on the situation so it's not all sounds pushed through one channel more like a 5.1 experience.
