Was thinking about this the other day. My first time playing, close to it's launch, i didn't think much about it since my standards for FPS solo campaigns were a lot higher. Going through BC2 recently and with CoD basically downgrading the quality of FPS campaigns, it's quite good relatively. For sure it completely destroys CoD and it's imitators solo campaigns handily.Bad Company 2
Second play-through and probably one of the most underrated military SP campaigns, its funny , the levels are quite varied, destructible environments and one of the best looking game engine for MP.

This screenshot made me want to actually play it.

Holy shit, not sure if it's been posted here but it really is quite awesome:
Sleeping Dogs look interesting but at ~£22 I wasn't too sure if I wanted it, especially considering SEs propensity to over stock retail Steamwork games and crash their price value. Will definitely get it now (or at least pick up Disciples for the credit!).
I actually thought the BC2 campaign was quite dull. It's more interesting than the standard Battlefield/FPS campaigns thanks to the cast but the story is nothing special. Environments are neat but it felt more like they made MP environments and made them SP maps instead of the other way around and the objectives are utter shit. Also, I hate the enemies. I just hate enemies that can equally make headshots at you and OHK you.

listen to the mad man
and still 8 times as expensive as it should be.
If only everyone was so productive when they got a week or two off, holy moly!

This is the greatest news I've read all week.
It's no good then? It looks somewhat interesting actually.

I loved the sorta open-world in the desert ship graveyard. And coming down the hill in the blizzard is an all-time amazing part, even if the gameplay isn't anything too crazy, dat DICE sound and effects. There's another part I really liked but I can't remember and don't care to look it up.
But the single player was not as bad as I thought it would be, I got it in a sale for the MP which is good as well, and just fired up the single player on a whim and enjoyed it well enough. Especially since I probably paid like $7.50 for the whole package or something.

I'd be more comfortable paying $5 for Confrontation.

What they actually said was "a few months after console release", which didn't turn out to be true.

That's why the usage meter is gone...I never got near 250GB but it's still good news.
RO2 is okay been a long time since I've played RO:Ostfront, I think the mods will be better games. Rising Storm looks nice Rising Storm website and I think In Country a Vietnam Mod In Country website looks great just from early footage & a Helicopter!!. I enjoyed playing Vietcong 2 multiplayer. So even if I don't play RO2 that much it's still a good investment.
Just downloaded the Civ 5 free weekend .....buying the GOTY version. When is the expansion hitting?

That part deserves more credit. Wasn't this level the one that had a part where you arrive to a desert town in the jeep, had to dismount and start looking for some hidden opposition. That was really good like it more than Half Life 2 vehicle part.
June 19th 2012 in North America and June 22nd Internationally.
It will include features such as religion, espionage, enhanced naval combat and combat AI, as well as 9 new civilizations.
According to the wiki.

You come up to the start of the desert and there's like three locations to head to and you can do them in any order. With the large cargo ship graveyard in the background.
You can't really truly roam the desert area too much, but it grants that impression because it plops you down in the middle of it and says here's all the objectives, go get to them.
