Anyone play Bad Company yet? Looks pretty similar to COD4 game play wise. Any opinions?

Haven't played it yet but I intend to.

I tried the demo this morning. I wasn't too impressed to be honest. The graphics are nice, but the movement feels stiff, and the gameplay doesn't do much for me. The destructible environments are nice though.

Same here. I checked out the demo but it seemed kind of clunky compare to COD.

Looks like I'll have to GameFly it first.

Good idea man.
The demo's on Live though.

Is it free?

Sure is.
Just go to the marketplace and check the games then at the top you select demos and its in that list.

Interesting. Are all demos free?

all of em' that I've seen. I guess they might charge for some. make sure you go to your console settings and set it to continue downloads after you shut off your xbox so that it doesn't have to be on the whole time.

Yea, that may be why I can't leave the d/l screen too.

yeah maybe. I know that if you sign into a game it will pause the dl's usually too.

I've downloaded the demo and have ranked up to 4, the max rank on the demo is 5. Bad company is about 10 times more realistic than call of duty, first of all you have to cock your gun every time you reload but in call of duty you only cock your gun when you have no ammo in your clip.

The sniper is more realistic too, the only semi-automatic sniper is extremely weak and innacurate. Theres no semi-automatic one shit kill sniper like the 50 cal which makes perfect sense. The game already came out and I can't get it because I'm leaving tomorrow for the bahamas =]

I don't see how any of that is realistic.

Yeah, even the rifles in COD4 are a bit underpowered compared to their real life counterparts. A Barret would make a man explode in real life, not cause a white X to appear in mid air.
