I've been playing Battlefield 2: Modern Combat for some time now, and I just wanted to warn any potential buyers of this game. The single player mode is ho hum so the real meat and potatoes of this game is the online portion of this game where you go head to head with other players via x-box live. The only problem is, the online portion of this game is riddled with hackers and cheaters! It's very frustrating if you're a casual gamer just trying to have some fun with a friggin $60 game to have someone constantly killing you by cheating. What's the point of even playing if you're not going to get any enjoyment whatsoever. My suggestion is if you really want to try it, rent it or wait until it's a bargain game.

Do not buy

This game should not be allowed to have the battlefield name. It is nothing but a garbage attempt to cash in on the battlefield name. They dont even update the game and has yet to have a map pack.

HORRIBLE!

I'm just going to sum up how horrible this game is in a coulple of sentances. Bad campaign,bad guns, and when your on live play you run all of the way across the map before you see someone and you usually get killed. the only thing that is remotly fun about this game are the vehicles. Don't wast your money on this crappy game.

Pure Garbage

Do not buy this game. From my experience I got stuck on the first sniping level it is impossible! I am a great gamer and have beaten many wargames including all of the call of duty series. This is the worst I have ever played! Do not buy this worthless game!

I bought this game the other day and really wanted to take it online. But when I went to the online protion of the game my xbox couldn't connect to the EA servers. Since the game offers no split screen multiplayer at all it will be collecting dust while I play other games that actually work online. The single player is okay. Many times you end of dying after about a minute. Seeing as how the multiplayer is half of this game I give it a 2/5

BORING!...DON'T BUY IT

So, like most of us with a new Xbox 360, we've all downloaded the demo of this game on Xbox Live and grown to love the one level available for play. Some of us have probably even developed some decent skills. While this is grand and a great way to spend some time having fun, I believe the demo of this game is very misleading.

The game's official page boasts of 16 huge maps in which to wage multiplayer warfare. While this is true, all 16 maps are indeed playable, only 3 or 4 will ever be seen by the average gamer. Why, you may ask? Battlefield's online play operates on a popularity scale, in which players may vote on which maps are used. 99% of the time, the choices are A Bridge Too Far (from the demo) and Backstab, a heartwrenching adventure set within a Muslim city. While these choices are fun on their own, what happened to the other 14 maps? Unlike its PC predecessors, Battlefield 2 offers no option of the multiplayer game offline, that is, without all the hardcore gamers voting on which maps to use. This is extremely frustrating.

The second problem I had with this game and the demo was that in the demo, you're playing against other newcomers. Once you buy the actual game, you're exposed to people who obviously have no life whatsoever outside of playing this game, and have no qualms about making you miserable. These people apparently have no jobs, girlfriends, or exposure to sunlight, and have devoted countless hours on the playing of this game. Many of them are supposedly in the military, which makes playing with them unbearable if you're not in the military yourself. The other group consists mainly on immature adolescent boys. The learning curve is extremely steep in this manner, and unless you're absolutely dominating the demo version, you're going to have a rough time with this.

Speaking of playing online, expect to lose your connection quite regularly. The EA server is troublesome at best, and no work is being done to correct this issue. Thanks guys.

The other problem is the campaign mode, which highly differs from the ones in previous games. Campaign mode is nothing at all like the multiplayer version, there is no spawning once you've been killed, and as such, you only have once chance to get things right. There are no difficulty settings, so unless you're a master, don't expect to get very far at all. Your AI teammates in campaign mode will not be much help, and usually die within 15 or 20 seconds of the start of the mission.

Overall, the game does have amazing graphics, with very much attention paid to detail. The controls can be a bit clunky, especially when operating the vehicles. The campaign mode is much more realistic than multiplayer, as there is no respawning of soliders once they die, but the learning curve is incredibly steep.

Bottom line: Unless you're a hardcore gamer who has hours on end to devote to this game, you're better off looking somewhere else.

Does not live up to its pc counterpart

Im a huge fan of the pc Battlefield series. A veteran of a tour in bf2, special forces, armored combat, 2142. I went into this game thinking that it would simply be a less buggy version of the pc game.
I was quite wrong. The controls are decent, but you have to turn the sensitivity all the way up and it still turns about half the speed of a mouse, which results in slow paced, generally disorienting combat situations.
And to highlight the slow pace, where is the sprint button!? No more running and jumping then going prone into a good firing position, the controls are way too slow for that. This feels more like the pc version on tranquilizers when it comes to the controls. Jump is not very responsive and you'll have a hard time jumping over anything larger than your teamates corpse.

No more squads either, the x-box live games do support enough players for small squads but the game does not offer the option. Too bad, I guess teamwork is out of the question. No commanders either. This puts you out on the battlefield as a lone soldier, there are definitely moments where you are with your teammates fighting against the enemy but at times its difficult to locate them and coordinate attacks.

The voice chat is better on xbox than on the pc because you can speak to your entire team.

Aside from all that, the game looks great, it just plays a little sluggish and the possibility for coordinated tactics is greatly decreased with the loss of squads and commanders.

For those never-sleeping gamerpoint seekers steer clear of this title, the acheivements are difficult to take advantage of, aside from this and the very average single player, is the multiplayer, a strong cast of both classes and weapons are represented beautifully on several maps which can supply hours of entertainment as you increase your level (colonel, sargeant etc.). The weak campaign is only partially redeemed by the intense multiplayer combat, veterans of the past battlefield titles should thoroughly enjoy this new addition but I reccomend renting the game prior to buying it, well it doesn't really matter considering the game is 20 dollars, overall I reccomend this to veterans of battlefield, fans of FPS's and people interested in a challenge.
