Video Game Reviews of Battlefield 2 (DVD)
Customer Review: Need some items
Summary: 5 Stars
Game is awsome overall, I miss the apache. If this is modern day combat the apache should of been chosen over the cobra. The Hornets should be on the carrier instead of land based. They need to get rid of this commander based artillery, it gets a little frustrating when someone can arty you over and over again. I think once the arty is destroyed, its destroyed. Good game, but i think it needs alot of changes to make it more realistic.
After playing this game for a couple months now all i can say IT SUCKS. EA YOU SUCK. DICE YOU SUCK. im going back to desert combat final.. OH and stick your SPECIAL OPS where the sun dont shine. Your all frikin STAT PADDERS AND BLACK HAWK WH0REZ
Customer Review: Good, but has some flaws
Summary: 4 Stars
Battlefield 1942 was a very revoloutionary game. It was the first game ever to have players able to play with 63 other players across huge landscapes, with tons of vehicles and weapons at your disposal. Battlefield: Vietnam came out, and it wasn't even close to achieving the greatness the 1942 did. Battlefield: Vietnam's biggest weakness was the fact that the two factions were completely un-balanced. The USA had a huge advantage over the Vietnamese side making the game not so fun to play.
However, Battlefield 2 has worked out balancing issues, but each team's weaponry and vehicles have different handling, mobility, and damage.
Battlefield 2 is a class-based games, like all of the Battlefield games that came before it. It has the usual Sniper, Medic, Assault, Demolitions, and Engineer that you would expect from a Battlefield game, but also introduces 2 new classes: The Support class, which has a heavy weapon, and can give other players amunition if they are running low; and the Special Ops, which can set C4, which are devastating against enemy groups, and vehicles, and has a rifle which can be used well to fight with enemies up close, and from afar.
The vehicles are pretty standard, you have your APC, your boats, helicopters, jets, and humvees. It does not have any of the cool vehicles that you saw in Vietnam like the jet that drops napalm, and a big boat that helicopters can land on, with tons of turrets. But, the vehicles are still an important part of the game, and they are fun to drive/ be in.
The graphics have been updated, and there is some bump-mapping, and the models themselves look a lot better. The problem is that the game has not improved on bare-looking terrain. The city levels look amazing as well. People will really enjoy the game's graphics if they have a good computer.
Battlefield 2 has also put in squad-based play. You can join one of many squads, each consisting of 6 players max from your team. Squads make it easier to communicate, because instead of trying to communicate with all 32 of your teammates, you communicate with 6. Also, when you are in a squad, you can hook up a voice-microphone to your computer, and talk to your squad, which makes communication even easier. There is also a commander position, the commander can give orders to the squads to attack, defend, or move to a certain place. They can also send in supply drops, so players can stock up on health, and ammo, as well as artillery strikes, which can be pretty destructive to the other team, and if you aren't careful, your team.
There are twelve maps, which may not seem like a lot, but each are a blast to play. One map is called Strike at Karkand, and it revolves around well thought out approaches to facing your enemy, because it is a city map with packed streets, and ally-ways, where your enemy could be all over the place, and you must watch out for your vehicles, because from behind any building or turn in the street, members of the enemy team could be ready to ambush you. There is also Kubra Dam, where players must navigate through the small dam's passageways, or go out onto the open desert, and attack enemy camps.
Each map can be sized down to acommidate 16 players, which makes the map pretty small, 32 players, which makes for a good sized map, or 64, which offers a huge battlefield.
Multiplayer is the only reason you should buy the game, there is no true singleplayer experience, instead you play all the maps with 16 bots, on the small-sized map setting.
Battlefield 2 does not have the good music that Vietnam, or even 1942 had.
All in all Battlefield 2 is worth checking out if you have a good internet connection to play online
Customer Review: BUY AT YOUR OWN RISK
Summary: 1 Stars
Be forewarned--this game will play like a pig on probably 90% of the rigs out there (I run an ATI Radeon 9600 with 256 RAM; 1 GIG RAM on the Falcon NWest box) and the game looks like...well, we can't use words like that here on Amazon. Beyond that: Loads sloooooow; hangs the system searching for servers...and when you DO get a game loaded, the maps are cramped...really close-combat tactical. Desert Combat is FAR better, plays better...this game is a MAJOR disappointment. Wish I hadn't opened the box and could get my $$$ back. Customer Review: Super fun in so many ways!

This game is great! You can sneak around as a sniper, hiding in the grass and the enemy will walk right by. You can drive around in a tank, smashing through boxes and strafing buildings. You can plant C4 explosives on a tank, run and watch it burst into flames. You can run into a firefight with a bunch of your friends, talking, laughing and yelling along the way thanks to VOIP. You can even fly planes and helicopters (I still need to try that!) All this on my AMD 2100+ with a GeForce 5700 LE....it runs smooth! It can take a few minutes to get playing on line but much, much better than most other multiplayer games I've played. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Customer Review: Wait, Stop you won't be able to run this game....

What a load of crap EA unloaded on us this time. For starters, the CD key is on the inside of the box on the back of the manual. Not on the back of the case like the game tells you. That costs you a trip to the internet.
Do not buy this game if you don't at least have much more than the system requirements.
I have a 2.6 ghz machine, running the new nVidia Geforce 6800 Ultra, a $400 graphics card, including a gig of RAM.
Plenty to run this game. But no, right out of the box I was hammered with wait times. And the one thing I hate most is having to hard boot my machine. This game locked me up several times. I hate to bag on Battlefield because I owned and loved all the other BF games.
My high expectations for this game have been crushed by the enormous amount of time and effort it takes to even get loaded and running. I can't even comment on the content of the game. I have not got there yet. None of the servers are even close to par to hold this game.
This game is certainly another one that was released way ahead of its time. Wait for the patches and prices to drop.
Very disappointing.
