Contrary to the grim-faced realism of later Battlefield games, Bad Company 2's campaign focuses around a light-hearted (but not unrealistically so) team of misfits sent to do amazing things in a very action-movie-y kind of plot. Structurally, it's actually more akin to one of the COD Black Ops games (though still much tonally-lighter than either of them). This aesthetic departure isn't the sole defining feature of BC2, as the shooting gameplay is up there with the strongest of the genre.
