As everyone should know, all of us here at onPause LOVE Bad Company 2 on the consoles and PC. So when EA announced that they were making an IOS version that could be taken on the go, I got very excited.
To start off with: the game features a very simple and easy to use menu. You can choose campaign, multiplayer and view the credits. Not to much more to choose but, what more do you need really.
Graphics for this IOS title look pretty good actually. Cut scenes didn’t jump or stutter and when in game, there were only very few bad pop-ins. Explosions look like they should, good enemy detail, the weapons that you use and see throughout the game looked sharp.
Most of the sounds reminded me of its bigger brother just without the crazy bass rumbling your couch the whole time.
Now that we got all the good out of the way, let’s move on to why you probably won’t want to buy this title.
Load times were right around 30 to 40 seconds on my iPod Touch 3rd gen. A lot longer then I wanted to wait to play this game.
The AI in the game is worthless. Teammates would stand next to baddies and not fire a single bullet, nor did the enemies put up a fight most of the time.
And the biggest complaint of them all are the controls. The game is pretty much completely unplayable thanks to them. Something as simple as moving forward does not work one bit. And don’t even get me started on the driving missions…
To wrap this up, all I can say is, you are just going to want to skip this one. The terrible controls and the sucky AI makes Bad Company 2 IOS not worth playing. For your own good just skip it.
