Battlefield Bad Company preview PS3

Blowing things up is always a high point of a game, and in Battlefield: Bad Company there will be plenty of opportunity to do just that. The latest in the Battlefield series will have a combat environment that's pretty much entirely destructible - now that in itself is enough to recommend the game. We've had a good look at the game in development this month and we bring you a full preview of Battlefield: Bad Company. But don't get too excited - it's been delayed already and there's still no firm release date. Will it be worth the wait? That's the question we answer in our Battlefield: Bad Company preview now!

Battlefield Bad Company preview PS3

The number of times we’ve lost our temper with a Battlefield game stretches into the astronomical. We respawn. We walk outside. We get shot in the head by some bloody sniper perched atop a minaret on bloody Backstab. Repeat ad infinitum. It’s a frustrating situation, that’s made all the more annoying by the fact the players are taking advantage of the game. Hiding behind objects that in real life, bullets would fly straight through, but in the game they just bounce off. Crouching behind stone walls that inexplicably deflect even a tank’s main gun. For Battlefield: Bad Company, however, that’s all about to change. The playing field has now been levelled. Literally.

In Bad Company, our earlier situation goes a bit more like this. We spawn. We walk outside. We get shot in the head. We respawn again, but this time, we equip our rocket launcher. We fire a rocket into the base of the minaret, and watch as the whole thing comes tumbling down, sniper and all, burying the cheating arse inside.

You see, as you may have heard us mention (once or twice) over the past few months, in Battlefield: Bad Company, 90% of the battlefield is destructible. Everything, from houses to trees, and from bridges to walls can be detonated, crushed, smashed through and generally blown to smithereens.
