The battlefield series has been my all time favorite multiplayer combat series since i played Battlefield 1942 years ago. Now I'm totally in love with BF2. I love the strategy, and skill required. Its not all just jumping a shooting, but you can do some of that if you're in the mood, which i love. Also, the ability to fly, and man vehicles is great. I only wish it didn't require such a beastly internet connection to play, or host a server on.

Though the system requirements are high (I cried not being able to run Battlefield 2 on a 64 megabyte video card.)it's a great game and I really recommend you get it.

Well where to start. The good things about the game is that it adds a different level to fps with its strategy involved. Now I know its not the first to be capture all the points, but its the best. You get a good selection of equipment and you play with a squad instead of going solo. The only real problem it has is the lack of different modes or a single player element, but that's not why you buy this game anyway.

Sory i kinda screwd up my last revew, just ignore it,

Well, this is the seqil to battlefield 1942, one of my favorit games, also one of the games that convertid me to PC gaming. Whats unic about the Battlefield seres is the fact that you can do pritymuch whatever you want to do (becase in real life, no one will lend you a sherman tank for the weakend).But you can do pritymuch whatever you want, as long as it makes your teem win, Heal your buddys, fix tanks, go all Kamikaze and run Jeeps into tanks. And the tridition gose on in Battlefield 2 (exept the Kamikazi thing, now you just have to settle for shooting them). Its basicly the same game, exept difrint war, artilery, sqads that actuly work, revives, gidid missils, Miniguns, Chinese, MEC colition and... OK it's a completly difrint game.
This has to be some of the most fun i have had in an online game for a wile. I dont know whats more fun, killing someone with a C4 charge or stabing them. also there a new ranking sistim that makes the game alot more fun

Now I am not a big multiplayer fan simply because I find in multiplayer games there is hacking and cheating no matter if punk buster is enabled or not because there is always someone smart enough to speed hack into someones server just to many computer literate people out there not to break the rules so I tend to go solo a lot in single player. We'll here's the deal and I don't care what anyone say's. The single player server in this game can be just as challenging if not more dificult then playing online. Why? The AI is scripted depending on your level of dificulty to advance and defend they're territory as much as possible and if need be make the nesasary sacrifices to overcome their ememy. It's true that the map and amount of bots are to the mim. in single player but if you just look out there you can find mods that integrate 32 and even 64 sized maps into single player with the number of bot increased as we'll. This may sound great but I've been having problems with my game crashing on me when playing one of these mods so I tried setting my game spec's down a little. Same thing. Just keep in mind that even though you can get the bot and map sized increased in these mods, most likely your system won't be able to haddle it.

Now for the system spec's..............this is where the game fails why? Because they could of used a different engine and required less memory or push on your system's processor and graphics card and still would of had decent graphics and better overall gameplay but EA took the route that most game developers do not dare. Why? They figure that even if you can't play it now you will eventually upgrade your computer in the future like most of us do and will eventually be able to play it in the years to come as technology advances at an alarming rate. Why does this matter you say? Because then they have created a much broader selling time frame than most game's that come out have. Due to it just being a Battlefield series type game and the popularity of these type's of games it is sure to sell years down the road. Look at Battlefield 42. it's still selling even though most of us have moved on to the BF Vietnam series pervious to this release and the Desert Combat and other mods for BF42. Now that's good marketing but bad for the customer because he will have to pay money and lots of it to play this game. I did! Just like most people here went out and bought the best I could afford graphics card (GF 6660 GT) and was literally let down by the games overall preformance. I wish I would have just kept my 5200 GF Nvidia because despite what they say on the box it does work on older graphics cards but you just can't set it much above the lowest settings. Who cares as long as it runs smooth right? So I am disapointed a little with the games preformace especially with a brand new GF 6600 card? Gee, maybe I should have bought the 6800? This is stupid. HL 2 and Doom 3 have 10 x better compatabilty than this game which I think they have lost a percentage of clientel at least temporarly due to the games requirements on your system until the general PC population catches up in a year or two. This is bad business to me but hey, they are just wanting to make a profit just like everyone else and not at your conveniance. So you can see I feel alittle jaded somewhat with the system requirements only because since I have been gaming I have never had any problem with any game's preformance until now even with an updated graphics card? This makes me think that the problem is within the game's coding and not my system itself so don't be fooled. Think about it. Let them come out with some patches before you get serious and buy this if you haven't already.

So, if your looking for a good time on the BF like in 42 and NAM then give er' a try just be warned unless you have an AlienWare PC system, blazing processor and 2 GB's of RAM not to mention an 7800 GF graphics card, then this review doesn't apply to you at all!
