EA has finally decided to grace iPad owners with a native version of its very popular first-person shooter based on the long-running PC and console franchise. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for iPad is now available on the App Store and looks to be the same game as the iPhone version, with visuals modified for the larger screen.
If you are new to the game, Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an FPS that offers both a single-player campaign and online multiplayer. The game stands out from most other iDevice shooters because it also allows you to control vehicles in combat. You can battle on foot, or with tanks and helicopters. The game also offers explosives, like RPGs and grenades, to hurl at enemies.
Multiplayer allows up to 10 players to compete simultaneously. The single-player campaign consist of 14 missions along with five different environments. The app description also mentions an added field of view for the iPad version and speed-performance enhancements for the iPad 2. However, not much else has changed from the iPhone version.
If you are a fan of first person shooters or have played and enjoyed any of the other Battlefield titles on consoles or PC, try Battlefield: Bad Company 2 for the iPad. It offers the same kind of fast-paced action based on modern conflicts.
Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is available on the iPad for $9.99.
