Game Overview

Lock and load, soldier! Theres a war going on and Battlefield 2 is going to drop you right into the middle of a 21st century shoot-out! The good news is that you have a team of grunts at your side to help you survive the frenzied close-quarters combat. The bad news is that you have to engage the enemy on their home turf, at the worlds most dangerous hot spots. Youll need to unleash the fury of an awesome high-tech arsenal that includes laser-guided bombs, heat-seeking missiles, and much more in order to survive. You have all the tools you need to get the job done--Abrams tanks, F-15 Strike Eagles, Wasp Class assault carriers, you name it. Hit the enemy with everything youve got. This is no minor skirmish--this is all-out war with all the high-tech firepower you can muster.

The Good

Thrilling online gameplay that's revolutionary at times, Built-in voice support is the next best thing to Xbox Live, The new squad and commander functions elevate the gameplay, Beautiful graphics and insane sound effects immerse you, The best military action game yet made.

The Bad

Steep hardware requirements, long load times, No way to keep track of buddies, Clumsy server browser, No cooperative gameplay mode, Rebinding controls can be frustrating.

The Bottom Line

The sequel to the blockbuster online multiplayer war Battlefield franchise, EA and developer Digital Illusions are taking the battle to another realm with a modern-war era edition. Players from the United States, China and the Middle East Coalition (all armed with realistic armarments and vehicles) will all be represented in harrowing battles for a massive number of online players (more than any of the previous Battlefield titles). The new game engine offers vastly improved visuals, physics and sound, plus a dynamic stage limiting system that scales the size of the online battlefield according to how many players are logged on.
