Freshman Journal (25 August 2008)
"Recently, I started and finished a video game called 'Battlefield: Bad Company.' It is about a motley group of soldiers in B Company. These soldiers are put into this company because of crimes they have commited. The characters are Haggard, a comedic demolitions expert who blew-up and ammunition depot near Paris. Sweetwater, an intelligent medic who "accidentally" uploaded a virus to the armies main computer system, Sarge, who joined Bad Company to get his tour of duty halved, and Preston Marlowe, who the player controls.
The game is very funny, mostly due to Haggard. Preston, Sarge, Haggard, and Sweetwater are fighting in a war in Russia when they discover that a group of mercenaries is being hired to fight the Americans. The leader of the mercenaries 'always pays in gold' and when the first mercenary is captured by bad company, he is in possession of his payment, which starts a gold rush of sorts. Bad company goes AWOL as they single handedly invade another country as they search for, and eventually find, the mercenary gold."
