Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Now Available For iPhone! - holtthea1980

Finally IT's here folks. One of EA's best selling FPS games in the market: Battlefield: Bad Party 2.

Battleground Bad Company 2 is an absolute steal at that price, and a sure-fire must-take for anyone wanting to dip their toes into the first person gunslinger market without spending too much.

This iPhone version is based heavily on the PS3 and Xbox 360 game of the same name, although the levels (of which there are fourteen) are dramatically reduced in descale to harmonise with the belief that portable gambling needs to beryllium done in quick bursts. At that place's around five hours of gameplay Hera though, so don't think you're getting something that's non going to donjon you at work for a some nights. Indeed, most levels diverge dramatically in terms of location and the vogue of play needed to get through and through them, and on that point's a tankful and a eggbeater part too.

The actual connected-foot shooting is likely one of the best examples of the musical genre on the platform. A smooth training sequence eases you in but fundamentally the left half of the screen is used to move and the right half to 'look', the perfect translation of the time-honored twin-stick soothe controls.

Firing is done by tapping the screen, and from there you can hold the thumb down to keep the spark off pulled, American Samoa well as simultaneously aiming by lightly moving. Other on-projection screen buttons like zooming, changing weapons, throwing grenades and crouching work fine, but Ea have added in lots of contrary control methods anyway, so in that location's likely to exist something you'll be cozy with.

The story won't in truth blow you away (you're sent behindhand Russian lines to inquire acceleratory threat levels) but the levels ebb and flow nicely without ever being overly ambitious. The pacing's fine, there's some decent congeal pieces and you'll be required to don your stealing jacket more than than once. The bet on doesn't further sneaking around normally, mind, only it's a valid option for a good dowry of the gimpy and the knife attacks are a useful tool (and a somewhat visceral) pleasance that shouldn't be underestimated.

The graphics are great too – on that point's Retina support for iPhone 4 but thankfully not at the expense of a decent frame range, which remains reasonably smooth throughout. Textures hold their fess up close, and whilst animation is clearly sub-soothe it's more good enough for the small block out and the enemy AI, which sees soldiers using cover just every bit more A the player (which is performed automatically), is impressive plenty. Bad Company 2 won't win any awards for its looks, merely the sound, with good vocalism overs and convincing weapon noises, helps to build the atmosphere.

Aside from the single player press mode there is also a four player multiplayer mode, which whole kit and boodle both locally and online over the internet (and supports 3G, as well, you don't need wifi). There's deuce modes – Atrip for All and Team Deathmatch, and only 2 maps – hopefully EA will add farther support to this portion of the game down the tune if it sees enough players taking section. There's labor notifications, too, so if someone invites you you'll get ahead the time-honored message up along your iPhone in real sentence. Secret plan Plaza would give been preferable, simply it's a decent substitute.

Pros:

Decent graphics, especially on iPhone 4

Slick multiplayer

Decent length single player campaign

Amazing launch price

Cons:

Multiplayer could do with ranking and perks to spice things up

Few Online Maps

No Game Center support

As said earlier, gunslinger fans volition screw what EA have done with Battlefield Bad Company 2 – IT's a solid example of the musical genre and at that price it's pretty such a no-brainer. There's flashier artwork around (Rage HD, for exemplar) and perhaps amended single player shooters (Gameloft's Progressive Battle series feels a bit punchier) but American Samoa an all-round software the game's a pleasant surprise and is consistently good fun. If you liked the comfort games or just fabricated having a look at what the iPhone (and, of class, the iPod Extend to) give the sack get along with just a touch screen then this is well Worth pick up.
