Review: Playability
EA created a real stir around Battlefield: Bad Company 2 even in anticipation of the release of the game itself. It is clear that she set out to kill two birds with one stone – to regain the crown of leadership among the FPS shooter genre and make the most successful online shooter of all times and peoples. We will learn about the first only with the release of the full version of this project. For now, we can only rely on the released multiplayer beta.
So what has EA given us in terms of multiplayer? The first thing that catches your eye is a huge game map with a bunch of locations and structures. It’s a pleasure to run around here, even though in the beta it only has one network card. A very realistic interactive world, the destructibility of which is truly impressive. I am also pleased with the quantity and quality of the equipment presented. Well, what else can you add – it’s a network shooter in Africa too. Two opposing sides – one winner.
We invite you to check out part of the beta multiplayer video Battlefield: Bad Company 2, where you can see for yourself the quality of this product:

Old-timers of online battles will feel like fish out of water here and will not give any chance to the “green” multiplayer recruits. So we advise beginners to get their hands on it, because In more than a month, the full game version will be available – and then there will be somewhere to roam…
Review: Game Graphics
The graphics in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 BETA were excellent, but to be honest, we expected a little better. The special effects and the detailing of the buildings were simply top notch. But the detailing of the units is a little lacking, as is the secondary environment. It never managed to surpass the beauty of the long-lasting Crysis. The picture looks more than decent, but nothing super realistic.
We were unable to find settings for switching between DirectX 9, DirectX 10 and DirectX 11 in the graphical menu. Judging by the color of Fraps, the game on all tested video cards used DirectX 10 (perhaps the game also uses DirectX 11, but we were unable to discern its effects; if we find traces of its presence, we will definitely update our review). And they coped with their task with difficulty, to put it mildly, and if we imagined tasselling in action in Battlefield: Bad Company 2, it’s hard to even imagine what kind of FPS drawdown we’ll get.
The main feature of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is something else – the almost complete destructibility of the game world, which can reach a mind-blowing value of 90%! The destruction is so large-scale and fascinating that they will have time to send you to the next world while you are enjoying the local Armageddon.
Whatever you say, the developers did their best – the picture in the game is quite decent, so we are waiting for the release of the full version, which we hope will include manual switching of DirectX versions.
Review: Resource-intensive game
For Battlefield: Bad Company 2 BETA you will need a strong Core 2 Quad 3,0 GHz processor or Phenom II x4 9252.8GHz and RAM capacity of 2 gigabytes. The game has a very complex physics model that can become a weak point for your CPU. But video cards will also require incredible efforts. So an upgrade for this game will be inevitable for most users.
All video cards were tested at maximum graphics quality using Fraps. in the most resource-intensive place in the game.
Our video cards are tested generally in all different types of screens and you can evaluate how your video card behaves relative to other modern solutions in almost all different types of gaming screens. All video cards were tested at maximum quality graphics settings using AA8X anti-aliasing and AF16X anisotropic filtering.
Testing at maximum quality settings 1024×768 AA8X AF16X DX10
Testing at maximum quality settings 1280×1024 AA8X AF16X DX10
Testing at maximum quality settings 1680×1050 AA8X AF16X DX10
Testing at maximum quality settings 1920×1080 AA8X AF16X DX10
So what are we seeing? To ensure normal FPS with minimal frame drop of up to 25 frames per second, you will need at least a Radeon HD 4870 or GeForce GTX260… For full HD resolutions, even the power of a modern single-chip flagship Nvidia GTX 285 may sometimes not be enough. And only the lucky owners of Radeon HD 5850 and Radeon HD 5870 will be able to sleep peacefully – they will not experience any brakes…
Conclusion: The BETA version of Battlefield: Bad Company 2 pleased us very much both in terms of scale and graphic content (the local destructibility is simply impressive). We are waiting for the full version in order to get a general idea of this product.
