The Iceman's Game Journal

After seeing Tim's Game Diary, I started this blog to give me some incentive to actually finish some of the 461+ video games I have (of which I have finished 41.) Hope it works.

Welcome To Bad Company--Battlefield: Bad Company

After meeting my squad and a brief tutorial we got our first mission. We were sent take out some artillery batteries so our guys could get into position.

On the way I found a new mini game. blowing the crap out of out houses. literally

After taking out the artillery crews, I had to use the guns to take out some hostiles that were closing in on our guys. Forgot to lead with the first salvo, but didn't take long to shell the enemy vehicles.

Next up I had to clear a river crossing so a supply convoy could get through. With a monster truck un available, we hopped into a Humvee and headed towards the crossing. On the way, we stopped to check out a house and I found an XM8. We climbed into a truck that had a bunch of explosive barrels in it. That might not have been the best idea, might come in handy. We took the river crossing and I got on a Machine Gun bunker to take out re-enforcements.

After that it was time for Operation Mustang. We were sent to a hilltop farm to the west of the crossing and told to clear it out. I got there and fought a bunch of hostiles, but they had a surprise; a tank in the barn. it blew up real good once I fired a few rockets into it.

An Evac chopper was on it's way but it was shot down and we were sent to take out an Anti-Air base. Found some C4 and blew them up good too. Killed a bunch of hostiles in the process.

We were told that to investigate and secure a farm to the east, so we climbed into Renegade (the APC that we've been driving in since we first found one. I think it was around the river crossing. I decided to name it. Even if it isn't the same one officially, I'll probably consider any APC we stick with for a long time to be Renegade.) and headed there.We cleared the farm and took out their reinforcements, but we suffered a loss. Renegade was destroyed by an enemy tank :(

With the farm cleared out, our guys could get through. And there was another APC! Hello Renegade 2! We followed the convoy in Renegade 2, but they were hit by artillery. Hostiles were jamming communications so we couldn't get an Air Strike in. Looks like a job for....SOMEONE ELSE!!!! Unfortunately all they could send was Bad Company.

A brief fire fight took out the Jammers defense and some C4 took care of them. And almost Sweetwater. Probably should watch where I leave that stuff.

Finally we had to take an enemy base. But the guys guarding it were dressed different and had XM8s! Turns out they were mercs working for the Legionnaire. and he pays his men in gold! Looks like we have a new mission.

I got the AEK971, XM8, 870MCS, S20K, and SCAR as well as the Killer On The Loose, You Found It You Keep It, and Staying Alive achievements.
