Impressions - Battlefield: Bad Company Beta (Part 1)


I woke up excited to get my hands on Bad Company for the first time. Without even getting out my bed I had turned on my Xbox and queued up my freshly downloaded beta. After a nice video detailing the gametype we’ll be playing I was ready to defend or steal me some gold. Then I met a foe that I never want to see, an enemy known as server issues. Turns out that are a limited number of servers up for the beta at this time, therefore only a certain number of people are able to play at a given time. Basically a one person leaves another person gets in kind of deal. Later there was a greater success rate, and I was able to fit a few games in. While it didn’t exactly wow me, I was sticking to my usual style of run and gun, that has already gotten me into trouble with Vegas 2 this week. This means I’ll have to readjust before I can give Bad Company my true opinion. I’ll be posting more of my thoughts throughout the beta.

Beta Company


I have been a huge fan of the Battlefield series for quite some time now on the PC. It's no secret that its efforts on consoles to date haven’t exactly lived up to the expectations of the PC games. I may be just getting suckered into another console stinker, but I’ve liked what I’ve seen so far. Next week I’ll be putting it to the test in the Xbox 360 beta. The Call of Duty 4 beta last year got me very excited for its release, and I believe had a big hand in making it the success it is now. Hopefully the same will happen to Bad Company.
