Battlefield: Bad Company
The newest edition to the Battlefield series is Battlefield: Bad Company.
This shooter game has been known and rages about for its multiplayer mode in warfare and has now taken on a new dimension. Battlefield: Bad Company comes with a total single player operation as well as its original multiplayer conquests. As you play the game you are part of a group working together, hints the title Battlefield: Bad Company. You are part of Company B and it’s your responsibility to suppress the immeasurable evil rival defense force. After playing the first five levels, single player mode comes into play.
The destructibility of the weapons in the game is mind-blowing. Whole forests are leveled to the ground with machine gun power. The battlefield changes in the middle of the fight. The changing battle scene rages and leads to more chaos. The upturned trees make hiding nearly impossible. Some soldiers scramble to find more stable cover, while other may try to scrunch down and hind in the rambles.
The massive destruction comes out to show itself in other places as well. With the use of grenades, you can destroy buildings and the enemy inside them. You can throw grenades against the walls or into the windows to destroy the buildings and the soldiers. Combustible gas tanks explode to aid the destruction. Lone staircases stand alone walls, and an occasional crumbling floor.
Along with traditional military standard gear and weapons, there are a few add-ons that seem to make reckless destruction of enemy forces the easiest. Weapons like C4 explosives can be used to destroy objects like enemy weapons and tanks, but also buildings that get in the way. The mortar strike takes the cake. This weapon is supposed to be used for the destruction of tanks on other military vehicles of the opposing side that may be otherwise difficult to destroy. The time bar on this weapon must refill before you can attack the enemy once more.
Health regeneration is handled in a completely different in Battlefield: Bad Company. Rather than the usual waiting period for health to restore or the consumption of items to restore health in other shoot ‘em up games, this game allows players to insert a needle into their character’s chest for regeneration. There is no limit on this and the regeneration needle can be used during battles to regenerate health mid-fight. It allows for the characters to be nearly invincible. This unique characteristic and action-packed destructibility makes for a truly entertaining game!
Gamers out there ready for intense multiplayer action combined with a hint of single player destruction should get ready for Battlefield: Bad Company. The companionship of the other soldiers aids the story; it makes the journey and battling enthralling.

Any game that give you the ability to destroy anything and everything warrants awesome in my eyes. When there is an equal balance of entertainment in both single player and multi-player makes for a well balanced game over all.
