I am an avid Battlefield player.  I started playing on the PS2 with Modern Combat, and moved up to the PC version Battlefield 2.  From there I got to play Bad Company.  Now a new dawn has arrived for the FPS genre.  All of the Fanboys out there will say what they please when it comes to Battlefield in comparison to Call of Duty.  I am a true video gamer, and I love realism.  Getting a pack of dogs to go after the enemy when you achieve a kill streak just isn’t real.  Having copters chase the enemy when you achieve a kill streak just doesn’t seem real.  Almost every part of Bad Company 2 has as much realism as you can imagine.

In the multiplayer world of Call of Duty you are placed on very small maps.  In Battlefield Bad Company 2 you are on maps that are so large that it would seem you need to strap on some equestrian apparel, and grab a horse to get around.  Finding a vehicle in the middle of nowhere usually wouldn’t be possible, especially in the desert.

Basically in the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Beta I have gotten to experience one of the maps that will be released in the full version that is scheduled to release in March 2010.  The developers like to test things out, and get everything right, rather than have issues later.  Needless to say the developers at DICE seem to have their priorities, and ethics correct, as they don’t have any scenes of people shooting up innocent people in an airport as part of their game.

In the new Battlefield you can drive jeeps, jetskis, quads, tanks, copters, and even pilot a UAV.  You need to work very hard to gain ranks, and points.  The ranks, and points are what allow you to unlock weapon upgrades, and more.
