Battlefield: Bad Company 2 (review)

I have heard a lot about the Bad Company 2 Beta, especially about the multiplayer destruction etc. I picked up the game recently and hated it. I started up the single player immediately, beginning the first level which was pretty cool for the first couple of minutes...or should something more accurate like I say 47 seconds. After I breezed through the first level, I finally got to the first level to actually take place in modern times. Combined with the dissapointing graphics, I was hardly able to have fun. Why? Dust! This game is all about destroying stuff, but even the smallest explosion or sneeze unleashes a massive cloud of smoke. It's as if they are hiding the graphics behind a layer of clouds. This is an example of a game that focuses on multiplatyer. They spent so much time working on the trucks and helicopters that they had to slap a story line onto it, mark it with a B, and throw it in the oven for baby and me. The story line oviously wasn't very exciting. The single player doesn't do anything unique, doesn't have any cool moments, and copies the same modern warfare cliche of Russia being a big meanie. Why would Russia randomly invade all other coutries anyway? I goes since Russia is the only believable contry to invade the USA, and they haven't gotten over the whole Cold War thing, they just had no other options. Atleast in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 there is an actual and realistic reason for Russia to go beserk. In Bad Company 2 they even do that map thing during loading screens like you are being stalked by Google Maps. Over all, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is horrible. I can understand buying the game for the multiplayer, since that is all it's good for, and in that perspective it's fun and entertaining. If you are a recreational player in search of a great story than Bad Compnay 2 is not for you. If you are a 13 year old who is a MLG wanna be, whose little amount of friends have bought it, then you'll find the multiplayer fun at least. You will also like the multiplayer if you have friends, like fun, are bored, think it cool, or like multiplayer(who doesn't?) then buy it!
