Ya know, the problem with most shooting games, especially involving war, is that the developers don't give us in depth characters, characters that that the gamer has a reason to care about. When they do it, it makes the game more interesting, which is why games like Call of Duty 4 is considered one of the best, arguably the best. The characters of Battlefield: Bad Company are just fun to follow. I find myself laughing at your buddies Haggard and Coldwater while shooting the enemies the entire time.
Overall, the game is a lot of fun. Blowing up stuff, funny moments, one of the best sniper controls I've seen in a shooting game, and a awesome story. Plus, for lazy gamers, if you die at some point, it restarts at the last checkpoint, BUT all the enemies killed before you die stay dead. Perfect! Plus, my favorite thing that most games don't have, the ability to fix your vehicles, i.e. your tanks.
BUT....the game has flaws. The AI can be completely useless at times. At some points, you'll think you're the only one killing enemies....that's because you are. You'll find the AI staring off into space at times in the middle of battle. The AI does has promising moments still, like explosion-crazed Hagged will come through with some good rocket launcher shots.
The Helicopter controls were a bit sketchy, I also did feel like there were some bugs near the end of the game (enemies not showing up on radar, sniping enemies in the head and they don't react, etc.).
BUT...if you like war/shooting games and enjoy the story like I did, you will manage to look over these things. Definitely worth a rental, if you have the money, worth the buy.
