Bad Company 2 appears to be EAs attempt to make the Battlefield Franchise more like the Call of Duty franchise. This may seem like it could be a step in the right direction for anyone who owned a console last holiday season, but I’m probably the only person on the planet who didn’t find much to be impressed by in Modern Warfare 2, so you can imagine my surprise when my beloved PC favorite Battlefield: 2142 suddenly took a few steps backwards to accommodate Xbox live and destructible buildings.
