Aside from the cosmetic and convenience elements like the menu systems and multiplayer server lists the game plays like a PC shooter too. While technically Bad Company 2 is a console shooter that has come to the PC it’s clear that DICE have done the work to make it work on the different format.
Performance on multiplayer servers is of course variable depending on where and what the server you select to play on is, but since you get to pick the server yourself as opposed to relying on feeble match-making systems there’s no reason that you’d have to worry about server performance. The visual settings are comprehensive enough that you can scale everything right back for an older system or ramp things up above and beyond their console limitations if you’re running the game on a monster rig. Unlike many console games the frame rate for the PC version of Bad Company 2 is unlocked so you can run it as fast as you can get it to go. Even when you’re about to die you can still actually play the game, which is a big plus. The border that appears around the screen when you get hurt is obvious, but understated.
There’s blood and dust aplenty from bullet hits and the death animations are suitably cinematic without being needlessly unpleasant or overly silly. Outside of shooting other people the effects are equally good when you’re on the receiving end.
DICE has managed once again to tap into the childish joy of shooting guns at people and things. Whether you’re blasting buildings apart with rockets, laying down controlled bursts with an assault rifle or putting in big booming hits with a shotgun there’s real beef to the weaponry which again adds to the atmosphere of the game. Well technically it’s just the standard modern day weapon inventory you’d get almost anywhere, but between great models, textures, animations and sound effects every weapon feels fun to use. Made for PC?What Bad Company 2 also brings back to the Battlefield franchise that has been sorely missing is really cool weapons.
