Battlefield: Bad Company - first look (beta)

[hatter]

Needless to say, I rather liked this Bad Company beta. Granted playing the same objective got old after a while, EA's brief tease of multiplayer goodness got us wanting more to say the least. It will be interesting to see what the single-player campaign will offer. However, there's little doubt that Bad Company will be one of the hottest games of the summer and perhaps the entire year. While the multiplayer portion obviously has the goods, lets cross our fingers that the single-player campaign doesn't topple this Game of the Year candidate - and let's pray we eventually get a PC version of Bad Company sooner rather than later.
