A quick Google brings up a random number generator, and with
my Steam library set to display “installed” with a grid view, 2 random numbers
give me a row and a column… and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is what comes up.
Purchased in the
Steam winter sale of 2010, it was a casualty of being bought along with Mass
Effect 2, and has never been played. At the time I was in the mood for a
multiplayer FPS and this came up cheap, so was an impulse buy. Unfortunately ME2
was far more enticing, and then my WoW addiction blinded me to all, so Bad
Company 2 joined the other unloved games. Now Fate has decreed it’s time to
play. I’ll skip the multiplayer for now, and give the single player campaign a
try on easy. Here goes…
…
OK, so it’s yet another derivative man-shooter with a
nonsensical storyline, but I like it. It has a certain charm, the guns feel
good and I'm warming to the characters in my squad, even if they are clichéd
character types (nervous geeky one, swearing grumpy one etc...)
The last game of this ilk I played was Modern Warfare 2, and
that was hard work. I only got through the single player portion because I
wanted to start MW3…. But that remains un-played too! Hopefully the electronic
dice will give me a chance to play sometime.
For now, Bad Company 2 is playfully tickling the
testosterone fuelled part of my brain quite nicely. I shall continue to play,
hopefully to the conclusion of its campaign.
Thanks Fate! What game will you let me play next?
