Bad Company is unique in the series in that it was designed for consoles and offers a full single-player campaign with characters, unlike previous titles that were mainly released for Windows and featured a multiplayer-focused war with a large number of players. The game also focuses on troop combat, while retaining the series` vehicle and large-scale war in multiplayer. The game applies new features to the franchise, including a highly destructible environment, such as blowing walls through homes. DICE debuted with its studio-developed Frostbite engine with the game that allows for high destructibility, and the engine has since been updated to run later titles. [6] This is a sign of a good script in which the characters and plot work together and favor and pull each other. Comic clashes can come from an obvious location, especially with Sweetwater and Haggard, but it`s also the flight that defines B-Company. That`s why Bad Company personally works better than its sequel. IGN noticed several shortcomings in the game, but still gave the game a very positive score of 8.6. [18] Giant Bomb gave him a 5/5 proverb: “He looks great, has fun characters, lots of interesting weapons, and works well, whether you`re playing alone or with a team.” [20] The game takes place in the near future and focuses on the first fictional Russo-American war between the United States and the Russian Federation, mainly in the fictional country of Serdaristan.
He was followed by a team of four-member firefighters from Company “B” of the 222. Army battalions, commonly known as the “Bad Company”, composed of troublemakers whose use on the battlefield is limited to the role of cannon fodder. Private Preston Marlowe (David Menkin) is the protagonist of the game, which has been transferred to the company. Private Terrence Sweetwater (Richard Lynson), more intelligent but nervous, serves as a foil to Private George Gordon Haggard Jr. (Nigel Whitmey), an arsonist and the comic relief of the story. Sergeant Samuel D. Redford (Bruce Johnson) is the leader of the team. He was the first to volunteer for his position in exchange for a shortening of his service and had only three days left to serve.
The campaign takes place in the fictional Caucasian country of Serdaristan and in a fictional Middle Eastern town called Sadiz near the Caspian Sea. [12] There is a real litmus test for these characters about two-thirds of the way. At some point, Marlowe has to save others on her own. As the action intensifies around a small hamlet, with all those walls exploding and deafening shots smashing the speakers, you realize something is missing. There are no stupid jokes, no comfort, no panic, nothing. The world of Bad Company is suddenly more lifeless without your “friends”. It`s also a reminder that, yes, the stakes are really high and overshadow your determination in this process. The odds are against you, but these guys deserve this reward more than ever.
Sweetwater may be the panicked voice of reason, but this whole reason comes out the window because of his infatuation with Mike-One Juliet, his friendly radio liaison. Haggard is in his element and revels in his gold rush roots; His one-man invasion mocks the invincibility of video game troops. And then there`s Sgt. Redford, which at first seems to be a typical copy of Sergeant Apone, but in the end, it`s pretty much the antithesis. He is more Danny Glover than Al Matthews; Murtaugh (Lethal Weapon) and Harrigan (Predator 2) in one. The next day, Sakura, Ryuji and Onizuka went to dinner to celebrate just before trying the bike, but when they are back, the bike is gone and Fukitoshi and Isami are beaten to the ground. It turns out that the Skull Gang also had their eyes on the bike, waiting for it to be repaired so they could sell it at a good price. Onizuka will quickly retrieve it and is pursued by Ryuji.
Onizuka fights the skulls leader for his bike, but the fight is interrupted by Sakura, who has brought the Running Wild Angels, another Bōsōzoku gang whose leader Masaki becomes their model. After seeing the fight, Masaki asks Onizuka and the others to ride with them the next time they meet. Bad Company received mostly positive reviews from critics who praised the humor and technical aspects of the story such as the sound, atmosphere, and engine of the game. There`s no doubt there`s been some tune-up testing, and we all know what EA thought of the original. Humor meant low sales! That was the problem, yes! That`s how we ended up with the simple Battlefield 3. You see, in Bad Company, no one cares about war as much as you do with that controller in your hands. It`s a backdrop that colors this troupe of strangers and gives you an excuse to make detours through abandoned houses. And you remember the memorable cast of Battlefield 3, don`t you? Hoy How about someone from Battlefield 4 who wasn`t Michael K. Williams? Ah. Battlefield: Bad Company, however, was different. With a plot that comes straight from Kelly`s Heroes and an attitude more in line with Robert Altman`s M*A*S*H, the guys at B-Company were designed to mock and resist the trend. They were cynical, subversive, Machiavellian and all the more humorous.
It wasn`t a game about fake exploits. It was about getting your own reward on your own terms. And in the end, you really wanted them to succeed. The Frostbite game engine can destroy 90% of the environment,[7] including buildings, vegetation (including trees, grass, and bushes), vehicles, other players, and the soil itself. For game purposes, the frames of some buildings and objects remain indestructible to avoid the total destruction of key points and prevent the map from being completely flat. In addition, the game has dynamic lighting that correlates with the changing environment. [8] Preston Marlowe is an American soldier who has been transferred to the Bad Company and begins his first mission with his new squad. After a rather informal introduction to other squad mates, Redford, Sweetwater and Haggard, they began to capture Russian artillery positions and point the guns at advancing enemy armored vehicles. When the group eliminates several anti-aircraft batteries, paves the way for the advance of the tanks and takes control of the city of Zabograd, they come across a camp of legionnaires: mercenaries whose leader is the legionnaire (Nathan Osgood), a ruthless commander. Legionnaires are perhaps the deadliest army in the world, according to Sweetwater, who also mentions how everyone is paid in massive gold bars. You`ll be transported to a dock further away from the U.S.
Army and spot other legionnaires loading a supply truck with gold. The truck eventually crossed the border into Serdaristan, a neutral state in conflict. Although Redford ordered the team to withdraw from the area, Haggard, excited to get gold, ran after the truck and single-handedly invaded a neutral country. George Gordon Haggard, Jr. is a fictional character in the single-player battlefield: Bad Company campaign. He is part of the team that the player joins during the game. He has a southern U.S. accent and loves explosions. Thus, games with their sales were ranked as below expectations.
So what? It doesn`t matter. In fact, it fits perfectly with the theme of Bad Company. Marlowe, Sweetwater, Haggard and Sgt. Redford would never change the world, but they would still be your underdogs. When they learned about this system, many players were upset because it meant that players who were willing to pay extra money for pre-orders or share their personal information when signing up for the newsletter were given a potential advantage in the game. But flying a golden helicopter is nothing in the grand plan of things. They are desperate men who are willing to die for something tangible and not for the detached whims of others. The beauty of Preston`s cohorts – Haggard, Sweetwater and Sergeant Redford – stems from their disillusionment with being a soldier. This gold bar is just a character that defines McGuffin.

The story is told from Ryuji`s point of view, it begins when Ryuji tries to avoid attending classes at his new school and accidentally witnesses the end of a battle that Onizuka has just won.
