In fact it's the best game EVER and everyone should play it!

These abreviations are getting out of hand...wtf game is a "bcft2" anyway?!?

Heh heh, the abreviation means Battlefield Bad Company 2. Just finished the single player campaign. Even though it is relatively short, I see it as a great add-on to what seems to be meant as a multi-player game. I'll find out soon enough.

What makes these "corridor" games stand out is when the enemy AI adjusts itself to your tactics and creates a challenge every time you play the same level. I've only played SP for a short period (I really like the MP) but from what I've seen, the AI is a lot of fun.

I just tried to resume my SP BC2 campaign but it crashes the game ... I think because my game was auto patched today. Looks like I'll have to start over but who cares

You guys who've completed the campaign or find it boring ... do you automatically crank the skill level up right at the start (like me) or always play on Normal ... or even, dare I say Easy

I just finished the campaign yesterday (360 version) and I liked it a lot more than the first one (which I never finished).

The audio is terrific, the ambient sounds, the voice acting is top-notch (if a little too humorous at times) and the graphics in the lush jungle environments are terrific.

Where the game fails, on the campaign level, is the truly awful friendly AI. You're supposed to be part of a squad! And yet, too often, your mates are cowering behind cover while you do all the dirty work yourself. I understand that the developers want the player to do most of the shooting but, damn, it would be helpful if just once in awhile Sarge or Haggard or Sweets would just shoot ANYONE while you're trying to get to your objective. I found the game very frustrating at times because the friendly AI just doesn't carry their weight at all. I can't count how many times I wanted to smash my controller through my monitor becuase I died while being shot from behind by an enemy who was in full view of the rest of my squad but they either missed the enemy or never bother to fire a shot.

That being said, overall, I enjoyed the campaign and I was glad it wasn't too long.

After all, MP is where this game shines. It took awhile to grow on me but I really like it. It's a bit unfair to compare it to CoD:MW2 because it truly has team-based objectives (although there IS a team deathmatch mode). Where this game does clearly have it all over MW2 in MP is the shear size of the maps. They are HUGE when compared to the "puny" maps in MW2. I'm glad the maps in MW2 are bigger than they were in CoD4 but they're still small when stacked up against the maps on BC2. IW, please take notice.

And, yeah, I wish there was some sort of limit on how many "snipers" there can be at one time. Sometimes the maps are just frickin' FULL of guys in ghillie suits.

The only other thing that bothers me about MP is the helicopters. They are nearly impossible to bring down and they can completely dominate a map with a good pilot and gunner. I think there need to be more/easier means of bringing them down.

Yeah, you're AI mates tend to wait for you to initiate the action, but if you start the fight and then hang back they will go forth and kick some a$$ while you reload and recover. That might not be a solution to the AI behaviour, but it's a decent work-around.

I freaking hate the desert map with the stranded ship. This is a great sniper map, I know this because they always kill me there...lots.
