Battlefield: Bad Company 2

Publisher: Electronic Arts

From our Battlefield: Bad Company 2 review:
Whether you’re blasting buildings apart with rockets, laying down controlled bursts with an assault rifle or putting in big booming hits with a shotgun, there’s real beef to the weaponry which again adds to the atmosphere of the game. DICE has managed once again to tap into the childish joy of shooting guns at people and things. Outside of shooting other people, the effects are equally good when you’re on the receiving end. There’s blood and dust aplenty from bullet hits and the death animations are suitably cinematic without being needlessly unpleasant or overly silly.

Bad Company 2 uses the Frostbite game engine, and is the first PC game to use this engine. It’s DX11-compatible and uses tessellation and other advanced rendering techniques to deliver incredible visuals and bash next-gen hardware. We take a 60 second sample of us playing through a section of the Heart of Darkness level with FRAPs, always following the same path and performing the same actions. We repeat each test three times, discarding anomalous results and averaging the consistent ones.

NOTE: the ATI Radeon HD 5970 2GB has been given a minimum frame rate of 0fps for both 2,560 x 1,600 tests as its micro-stuttering made the game unplayable. FRAPs was unable to represent this fact, returning minimums of 42fps when no AA was used and of 30 when 4x AA was used, but we feel that these results do not represent the actual experience of using the card.
