Battlefield: Bad Company Impressions

First let me say that this isn't exactly my favorite type of game. But, I do like games like COD4, and Battlefield: Bad Company is NO COD4. COD4 is fast, furious, and chaotic at the slowest of times. Battlefield: Bad Company is none of those. The map I played in is HUGE and took me three minutes to figure out where the bad guys were! Not to mention travel time. When I am facing an enemy, I look at them and they stare back at me and I usually have no trouble killing the opposing person. The object of tyring to blow up crates is a novel approach, but not enough of a new thing that it works well. When you are waiting to respawn, you watch a squadmate and once, I watched a squadmate magically slide up the ladder instead of climbing up. "Earth to EA, this is the new generation. Spend some time on animation and make it look good like Rainbow Six: Vegas 2."

The graphics otherwise are decent, but nothing compared to COD4 or GoW. This game has nothing new from games that I have already played and with learning about the fact that you have to purchase certain weapons from the marketplace to unlock them almost guarantees that I will not get this game. Let me remind everyone that I played the Beta, and not the finished product. Overall my first day impression of this game sets it at 3 Geezers out of 10. With better shooters out there like COD4, R6V2, Halo 3 and even GoW, why would we spend money on Battlefield: Bad Company. But even that so far is enough for me to give a beta a thumbs down verdict.

I know that there are Battlefield fanboys out there but this game isn't for me.
