Battlefield: Bad Company 2

This makes for a worthy first post.

Just like any lunch time at work I hop on the Battlefield and put on my DND and start showing the world how I roll.

Today stood out at quite possibly one of the best moments on the Battlefield that I have had in a very long time.  The reason is simple, I somehow did not get killed once in an entire round!

As the screen above shows I ended up with lots of pins and a totally awesome 14 Kill to Death Ratio.

I must admit that when Bad Company 2 came out I was playing it non-stop. Sometimes I would play before work,  during the lunch hour and way past my bed time. My addiction got so bad that I was dreaming about the Battlefield in my sleep, complete with red beret and shouting out “I need a medic!”. Let me tell you the missus was not impressed!

So I decided to stop playing it, and focus on a few other games that came out about the same time. One of which was Just Cause 2. Having played the first one on the PS2 and completing it over a weekend I was longing for a sequel. When the sequel came I thought my dreams had come true – so I put Battlefield to one side and inserted Just Cause 2 into the X360.

Just Cause 2 was fun for a day only, the sandbox environment was entertaining until the point that I realised getting around the map without a flying machine was going to be an utter ball ache. So I promptly put this back on the shelf and I’ll no doubt play it again when there is a nuclear holocaust and I’ve got nothing better to do than travel 5 mins from A-B in a slow tuk-tuk like vehicle.

From one sandbox to another, this time one with class action – quality online multiplayer and endless fun – oh and it’s not COD,  viva la Battlefield!

By the time I had put the game back into my X360 everyone in my circle of friends had either ranked up to level “I’m a god 50″ or stopped around level 20 and gone off to play other games like DJ Hero – errrr why???

I decided that I would have to make a few new friends online, and rank up the classes that I had not touched. I started with the Sniper – made a few snipey friends and now most recently moved onto the Engineer class. Sniper for me is a class that you need to play tactically – I like to run and gun, a sniper needs to be calm and selective over the targets – Battlefield has taught me to be patient in an FPS Shooter – okay so maybe not that patient but as my k/d ratio above shows a mixture of run and gun and being calm = more points and less deaths – a worthy strategy for me to explore with the engineer class! Night all … zzzz … zzzz … zzzz …. I NEED A MEDIC!!! … zzzz ….
