This review actually began life as a comparison piece between Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. After getting to polishing off point though, I soon realised that BC2 is so awesome, it deserves it’s very own arrangement of words. Plus I have strong feelings of aversion toward Bobby Kotick and his merry band of minions at Activision, and such feelings were painfully obvious.
