Battlefield: Bad Company

Battlefield: Bad Company follows Private Preston Marlowe and "B" Company—the military's dumping ground for troublemakers—as they go AWOL in pursuit of a hidden stash of mercenary gold. Released for PS3 and Xbox 360, the game was built to showcase the Frostbite engine, which allowed players to blow holes in walls, collapse cover, and level entire buildings. This "tactical destruction" meant that no sniper nest was safe and no piece of cover was permanent. While it featured a robust and cinematic single-player campaign, it also laid the groundwork for the series' legendary multiplayer on consoles with the introduction of the objective-based Gold Rush mode.
