I read other reviews and I must say I guess I bought this game at the right time. I play online 80 percent of the time and I had no problems with the online play - save one. At one point I couldn't log on to EA's site. This was easily fixed as someone on the XBOX website said to reset your time and date on your box to 01-01-01 at 12:00am. Then you won't have a problem. Strange I know but effective nonetheless. And all the games I have played in are dedicated servers provided by EA and are broken down by East and West and as long as you stay in your area I have had very little lag and I almost didn't mention it because I have to try hard to remember when I did. Gameplay is very smooth and weapons are very realistic - well as realistic as we as gamers have been made to feel. Vehicles are a nice touch in this game like in Halo2 more than a few people can get in. In the large chopper you can get five in I believe. The ability to climb in rank is truly a nice touch. Nothing pushes me and I imagine many others to keep playing is to reach that next plateau. Nothing like dropping a higher rank from 300 meter with the sniper rifle. Spawning is pretty well thought out as online gamers are contantly fearing spawn campers. Controls are crisp and are the standard FPS we have all come to love. My only complaint we be there is no Slayer type game without objectives. No sharpshooter type free for all with all the carnage and thoughtless mayhem I sometime long for. In this title all we have to choose from in conquest ala Star Wars Battlefront and SWB2 and capture the flag ala every other FPS. Both are well done and the maps are better than almost any I have ever played. Very similiar to Ghost Recon sized maps though it doesn't seem that way as you can use vehicles and the control points can be taken over and you can start in any team controlled point. I will also speak about the different classes available. There are also four diffent classes of soldier you can choose from everytime you spawn. They are Sniper, Support, Special Ops, and Assault. All have there uses and I find where I am on the map dictates what I will use. All in all this has taken over a lot of my halo 2 time on my XBOX which is no small task. I have purchased many other titles that still haven't put Halo 2 out of my XBOX but this has done a very good job. It's worth the money especially since they have dropped the price. I think they did it to counter the bugs they had initially but once again that has been cleared up - good hunting.

great multi-player, good single-player, although short

I got this game because my friend had it, and loved it, I bought it because it was only $30. let me start off by saying that this game is a great ARCADE shooter, you can't exactly run around like crazy and jump around, cause you'll get killed in two seconds flat. you have to take cover and walk down the street running from cover to cover, but its not Ghost Recon. The controlls are loose, but that could be a good thing depending on how you like to play. Vehicle controlls in battlefield flat out suck. driving cars isnt fun and accelrating/beaking gives you a hernia the first few times you play. driving tanks isnt so bad because you turn the turret differenly than the body of the tank. Helecopter controlls take some getting used to, but they get eaisier after a while. anyone who gets good at flying will be a vital asset to any team. The thing about vehicles is, any one can use them lethaly, but all those people will get owned sooner or later. the single player campan is interesting because you play from two perspectives; NATO and Peoples' republic (china) the two sides little differently, but the thing that gets you (or at least me) is the chinese voice acting is styriotypical and Cliché. The news reports that you watch at the end of each "chapter" ( the levels are broken up into two or three levels as the chinese, then oyu play as NATO) you watch a feke news report recounting the events in a lame unimformed fashion. The big deal with the single player is the new "hot-swap" which is pretty strange, but keeps it different because instead of telling your teamates where to go and what to do, you take over them, and do what you want themm to do. the single player has 18 missions, but the missions are pretty short, but at he same time, can be pretty hard. Ive only played the multiplayer at the afoer-mensioned friend's house because I dont have Xbox live ( although im currently working on it), but it reminds me of a slighyly more tacticle version of StarWars Battlefront 2. the graphics in BF 2:MC arent go-awful, but arent that great either. the character models are a little undetailed, but the vehicle modles are well detailed, and the level design is one of the outstandig features of this game. almost every building you can enter and get a better vantage point.

Battle field 2 never had a single player mode before

Given the single player mode isnt all that but like the other battlefield games you bought it for the online play and lemme tell you is it g'damn awesome...Now I was a lil sad when I popped in the game and found that the PC and xbox versions are nothing alike..What I mean Is if you've played the PC version then played the xbox version you'll notice there are none of the maps from the Pc version which kinda sucks but some of the new maps are better than some pc ones...Also,you can only fly choppers Atm,Supposedly there adding planes and more stuff for free so you can't complain about that as they've already added 3 new maps and some more stuff for free and fixed for the most part all the lag in the game...If your like me and sick of playing halo and getting modded and are looking for a game that's fun,hard and doesnt have people cheating (cept boosting points) Then I reccomend picking this game up...Sure it's nothing like the pc version but with EA Adding new maps,planes,weapons,vechiles for free it'll help come close... 5/5 stars for xbox live play
3/5 stars for single player

Great game all around

When I got this game I started by paying through the campaign to train up so that I wouldn't be awful on LIVE. The campaign was very enjoyable, with bunches of unlockable content, and huge missions. The hotswap ability brings a whole new dynamic to the game, and if you know how to use it right, you can get through the entire game without dying. With consecutive kills you can get bonuses which improves you weapons and overall ability, albeit temporarily.
Multiplayer over LIVE is very fun, especially since the players are not as immature as they are in games such as Halo 2. There is the occasional teamkiller, but due to the ability to vote to kick players, they generally don't stay in the game long. It is very fun, and challenging.
I highly reccomend this game. It will make you wish you had never bought Halo 2, since you will probably never play it again.

This eye candy doesnt live up to the hype.

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat has vast environments and beautiful textures, and with loading times being shorter than expected. But, even purchased as the spinoff console version, I still expected (and hoped) the gameplay to somewhat fall inline with the traditonal 'battlefield' gameplay and mechanics I fell in love with on the PC. I would consider this title for dedicated fans of the modern warfare genre who intend to play this exclusivly on LIVE. If you're looking for a co-op or offline multi-player look elsewhere. Only six more days til star wars battlefront 2. You can wait a little longer, cant you?

Extremely Entertaining Game

I picked up this game about 1 month ago. Prior to that I was glued to online Halo 2 and just starting playing Battlefront II which are by far, exceptional games. I was told by a friend that this game was "The Game to Get". Sure enough I rented first before I made a sure purchase, ... but, let me tell you... there is soo much action going on in this game, it's intense. Up to 24 players, Huge multiplayer maps, have the ability to use over 20 different vehicles such as tanks, helicopters, humvees, strategized kills, it's chaotic! Also if you like sniping games similar to that of Halo 2 than this should be on the top of your games list! Don't miss out on this game, and definitely don't be misguided by all these other poor reviews. I would have to say there are a couple miniscule flaws such as a lack blood or goryness but that aside is no match for all of it's incredible merits! This game will get you hooked in your seat, "BIGTIME"!! It's just soo much fun, especially if you go online with your buddies! This game is a definite buy, you will not be dissapointed, and every first person gamer should own this one now!
