ive played the first 2 missions, so far i like it, the prologue level is cool in a retro way. The engine upgrades are nice. The lighting engine is pretty decent and the explosions look cool. Gameplay wise the controls seem pretty tight, the sound btw is awesome. I'm going to like this game. The destruction of buildings is cool looking
The shit talking amongst the AI team mates is humerous like the first one.
minor annoyance is the vegetation that you ghost through...i mean c'mon make it a lil dynamic in the single player at least. i like my king size jungle plants with physics.
Cant comment on the multi since i wont bother trying it, i'm playing this on my offline only 360 ive pre ordered the retail for my PS3. But having been in the PS3 beta and from playing the demo its almost a forgone conclusion i'll like it as long as the maps hold up

Thanks for the little headsup.

Ok, just finished it. Took me exactly 5 hours on normal. Which is pretty pathetic, I guess.
As to impressions, one sentence sums it up: it's not a SP game in terms of quality and attention from devs. It's clear that Dice was makig a MP hit that could dethrone MW1&2 and it may even succeed (at least I loved the MP beta/demo much more than CODs), but the single-player campaign is rushed and unpolished. It tries to pack everything into those 5 hours - minigun-shooting on helis or vehicles, quad-driving (with a quirky remark about snowmobiles) etc, but fails to deliver something big and logical.
* constant change of setting is annoying. in one mission it's winter the next one is jungle, then it's suddenly a desert then some autumn-looking shit. jesus! slow down guys!
* too much random deaths and checkpoints sometimes being ridiculously distant from each other. it gets especially annoying if there's an unskippable scripted mini-cutscene that you have to watch over and over if you die
* a lot of pointless vehicle riding - some escapes are really intense COD-style, but sometimes you just ride and watch scripted events
* a lot of unused possibilities, like you're parachuted into a forest with only a handgun but then it's just 3 minutes of running through an empty level to the weapons locker. why not put some enemies there and make it difficult instead of just boring?
* some scenes/levels are amazingly short
* no boss fights, the end is ridiculously stupid and... well, you'll see
* unpolished level design like places where it could be logical to go through but they lead to instant death (because 'you've left the area of fight' or smthg like that)
Don't get me wrong, I love BFBC and this one is quite a fun ride, but never as epic as any of the latest CODs.

I agree with a good deal of the above, it is a short campaign. Its fun, there's some cool elements to it, but its just not fleshed out. It could have been an epic game had DICE invested sme more time in the story. I love the game engine, i love the core mecahnics of the game, the single player is flat. I think dice should have focused on the multi game and the asset building and handed off the SP dev to a seperate team. Its not that the single player is bad....its rushed, but the parts of it that work well are stunning
There's a fun tongue in cheek stab at MW, personally i like competition between developers, in the end its a good way to raise the bar. It's obvious multiplayer is this games main focus, and for me its where the fun is at. I played the SP on BC1 once through, but the multi i played to death and still play, i prefer big open map type games with good squad gamplay over slose quaters frag fests, i even prefer MAG over MW2 for this reason.
So i guess i have to reserve my full opinion on this game until my PS3 version arrives and ive delved into the full multiplayer experience

Thanks for the mini reviews guys, disappointing about the single player. They made a big deal about it being so much better than the first. 5hrs is to short, I think people should reasonably expect atleast 8hrs min on normal difficulty

Especially when they have only used just over half of the DVD, loads of room on there for extra content.

Taking into consideration that downloading, extracting and burning takes a bit longer - yes, it is pathetic.

not you obviously , but others do. They also made claims about how solid the SP experience was. Would have been another thing if they just said the game was geared for MP from the onset

Im fairly sure they did. after all battlefield games have allways been about mp. dunno what you guys where expecting, i'm waiting on a fantastic multiplayer game with a single player game tacked on to entertain me when my mates are offline.

Bad Company is the same as CoD and Halo, those games are all about MP.

Look at America's Army. That's all about multiplayer.

Are the DLC only for consoles or for PC too?
If it's for PC too then here's my question:
Is it also free when u pre-ordered it at EA? (EA Download Manager)
