Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Gameplay
Multiplayer
The game features 15 vehicles, including new additions, such as the UH-60 Black Hawk, a quad bike, a four-man patrol boat, a personal watercraft, a ZU-23 mounted on a BTR-D armored personnel carrier, and a UAV helicopter controlled via remote computer terminals. The Mi-24 attack helicopter, dating back to Battlefield 2, has now been replaced by the more capable Mi-28, while the original is reintroduced as a transport helicopter.
The currently available maps are set in various environments such as South America and the Alaskan Rockies near the borders of Russia. Along with Battlefield Vietnam, Bad Company 2 is one of only two games in the Battlefield series to show blood[8] without third-party modification. Players can also use party chat for each game mode. A dog tag system as seen in Battlefield 2142 and Battlefield: Bad Company returns, awarding players with their opponents' dog tags when they defeat them with a knife attack. It uses the PunkBuster anti-hack program, to protect the game from cheaters in online multiplayer matches.
New items are unlocked by earning experience points, which are gained for performing actions conductive to the goals of the player's team, such as eliminating enemy players, healing teammates, or capturing or defending points of interest. These points also count towards a total of 50 ranks. Bonuses to the base number of points can be awarded under certain circumstances (such as achieving a headshot in the process of eliminating an enemy player).
Single-player campaign
Characters
For the majority of the single player campaign, the player controls Private Preston Marlowe. Marlowe is part of a squad formerly representing a misfit company in a fictional United States Army battalion known as "Bad Company". Other members of the squad include technology expert Private Terrance Sweetwater, demolitions specialist Private George Haggard Jr., and squad leader Sergeant Samuel Redford. The squad, escaping with gold in the previous game but believed to be caught soon thereafter, now work on a special assignment for the Army in securing a dangerous Scalar technology.
Plot
In October 1944, a group of commandos infiltrate an Imperial Japanese Navy-controlled island in the Sea of Japan. They secure a Japanese scientist who was working on a secret scalar weapon codenamed 'The Black Weapon' and escape the island on a submarine. But as foreshadowed by the scientist's warnings the commandos witness Aurora being fired and perish from a resulting tsunami, and this sparked a myth within the U.S. Army, which has been dubbed as "Operation Aurora".
In the present day, Privates Preston Marlowe, Terrence Sweetwater, George Haggard, and Sergeant Samuel Redford fight behind enemy lines in Russia in an attempt to secure a scalar weapon device after the Russian military launches a worldwide invasion from Europe to South America and East Asia.
Despite escaping Russian soldiers and completing their believed final mission in their service, the device is discovered to be a fake. Impressed with their previous activities, Army General Braidwood assigns them to a special operation of contacting Agent Aguire, much to the disappointment of Redford who had hoped to retire after the last mission.
The squad travels to Bolivia in search of an agent named James Aguire. Through many firefights, they save Aguire. Aguire requests the squad to get all his intelligence detailing Aurora from a French satellite that can be controlled from a base in the Andes Mountains. Sweetwater crashes the satellite and the squad successfully defeat a Russian counterattack aimed at destroying it. Marlowe soon finds the data server and proceeds to go down the mountain during a blizzard against Russian patrols, and is soon extracted by the others.
During extraction, Aguire briefs the squad about a man responsible for rebuilding scalar weaponry named Arkady Kirelenko, a Russian Army colonel the squad failed to eliminate in Russia, is believed to be hiding in Chile. Marlowe and the squad, aided by U.S. forces, find Kirelenko, though he soon escapes. Left only with papers from Kirelenko, Sweetwater discovers there is a shipping manifest for an abandoned ship called the "Sangre Del Toro." Aided by the rest of the squad getting the coordinates, Marlowe finds the ship and retrieves an unnamed compound essential to the use of the weapon and finds out the truth behind Operation Aurora - specifically, that the US military knew the mission would likely end in the deaths of the commandos and the whole thing was an exercise to learn more about the weapon's power.
While attempting to meet Aguire in Colombia, their helicopter is shot down and the squad becomes separated. Along with their helicopter pilot, Flynn, they regroup and escape the local militia. Redford gives Aguire the compound before finding out that Aguire double-crossed the squad by allying with Kirelenko. Aguire wants revenge against the United States for what happened to his father, one of the commandos in the original raid during Operation Aurora. Despite the alliance, Kirelenko betrays Aguire and kills him. Flynn intervenes and saves the squad at the cost of his own life.
The squad is mourning for Flynn when they hear Kirelenko talking through a guard's radio. Marlowe kills the guard, and the squad proceeds toward a large city. Here, Marlowe and the squad find a large cargo aircraft, an Antonov An-124 (Haggard mistakes it for the larger Antonov An-225 Mriya) that is believed to house the scalar weapon. This is confirmed as a powerful electromagnetic pulse is suddenly released, destroying all electronic equipment in the city and thereby causing all military vehicles to cease functioning; a helicopter nearly crashes onto the squad. Everyone except Marlowe becomes disheartened of continuing the mission, but Marlowe encourages them to get on the aircraft and the squad infiltrates the aircraft’s as it takes off.
After a firefight to reach the cockpit, they find it empty. The squad returns to the cargo bay to find Kirelenko attempting to fire the scalar weapon again, now high over the southern United States and so threatening to cause havoc on the power grid, crippling the country's ability to defend itself against an attack. With the help of explosives from the plane's armory the squad access and destroy the scalar weapon.
The explosion sends the aircraft plummeting, forcing the squad to bail out, but Kirilenko grabs the last parachute as Sweetwater passes it to Marlowe. In free fall, Marlowe kills Kirelenko before getting the parachute from Sweetwater. The squad lands and regroups a few miles away from Nacogdoches, Texas, Haggard's home state, behind them, the destroyed airplane. Shortly after, General Braidwood arrives to inform them that they are to aid the U.S. Army in defense against the incoming Russian invasion that recently passed through Alaska and Canada, much to the squad's disappointment.
A satellite map shows the Russian advance as they prepare to meet U.S Forces at the border of Canada.
