Tips to take your team to victory
For single-player the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is okay, but on PS3 it is the best online shooter. Here is a bit of tips about how to make sure that you take your team to victory.
01. Balance your squad - It is obvious.

BBC2 maps not charged extra
We have seen that Activision has been charging $15 for 5-map Modern Warfare 2 DLC package. Developer DICE is sounding different campaign. They are saying that they won’t charge anything for extra maps of the Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Not only this, the company has also “insisted” Electronic Arts that the publisher doesn’t add fees for customers.
Previously it was stated by DICE that it does not want to “nickel-and-dime” the customers for the DLC. Speaking to the Xbox World 360 Magazine, the company says, “We don’t ever want to charge for our maps and insisted to EA that this attitude was crucial.”
However, developer DICE did not say anything about charging for other content like the “expanding other parts of the game experience rather than the selection of maps.”
The second map pack of BBC2 was released recently and there was no extra cost tagged. Along with it was also released the DLC of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Stimulus Package and it was tagged for $15.
Not everything in BBC2 similar to the original
The Battlefield: Bad Company 2, as its predecessor, focuses on light comedy that is mixed with serious warfare. Electronic Arts, the developer of the game, has touted this sequel to be equally good, if not better, than the competing shooters.
In the BBC2, there is a return of band of misfits in bravo squad. The story, this time, begins with the Sweetwater, Haggard, and the Marlowe serving with Serg on his last tour of duty. As we have seen in the original BBC, the story keeps focusing on light mood with the comedic banter between the squad members.
Well, there is one end of similarity here. The BBC2 is on a more serious tone than Battlefield Bad Company. Here the gold is not chased. In this the squad gets mixed up in a race for capturing a super weapon which could annihilate United States.
However, the squad slowly gets recruited for a top secret mission. This top secret mission will be taking the team from the Andes Mountain to the dense jungles of Bolivia.
The story of Battlefield Bad Company 2 is obviously much more ambitious with the epic environments and also the set pieces. We have also seen at one point in BBC2, gamers can bring down a satellite from the orbit and they also race across the top of a mountain to defend it from the enemy troops.
