Battlefield vs Mercenaries

4 Rating: 4, Useful: 1 / 9

I have played about 50% of the missions in both games, so here are my comments.

These are both fun 'modern day' war games. You can drive jeeps, tanks and fly helicopters in both games.

Mercenaries is a third person game (driving and flying is similiar to grand theft auto).

Battlefield is first person and plays like Medal of Honor except with drivable tanks and choppers.

Battlefield has 20? large missions while Mercenaries has 90? smaller missions.

Single-Handedly Destroys the Tac-Shooter Genre

BF2:MC single-handedly destroys the tactical-shooter gaming genre.

It destroys the concepts of camo, concealment and (in the single-player, where enemy A.I. shoots through small hills) even cover.

This one is great fun, if you have a habit of drooling on your controller; otherwise, those who prefer a more tactical experience are better served checking out the hard-to-find and less-expensive Operation Flashpoint: Elite or buying the PC version of Battlefield 2.

XB Battlefield 2: Fake Combat

I gave this game a 3 star rating. I have a top-of-the-line high def 48" with monster cables for hook ups because I want clear and precise pictures. But for Xbox this doesn't help at all of course.

BAD: When someone gets shot they instantly turn into a rag doll. Now in some cases this may be true but how can someone's legs buckle the opposite directions at the knee after being shot by a gun? They stopped using dummies in movies long ago because it looks fake and they don't bend naturally.

BAD: When a jeep gets hit with a rocket the jeep totally evaporates into thin air? Lame!

BAD: When you jump into water the quick under-then-over `bob effect' is crappy.

BAD: Overall picture during game play is very blurry.

BAD: The perception while playing is too "game-like" and not realistic.

BAD: When you see someone get into a vehicle they first disappear outside the vehicle and then reappear inside the vehicle. I've seen this before in other games but this is really fake.

BAD: The color detail is horrible.

Maybe I just got my hopes up after being sold on the trailer.

GOOD: The cool things about the game is the story line, sound effects, gun and soldier graphics looked ok. However, everything else was blurry, unrealistic, and thus disappointing.

this is stupid

First off they ruined the hole concept that was fun about the battleifield series which is total freedom capturing points and what not. They have that in multiplayer which is all you should buy this game for. It would have been awesome if that option was available in single player but no they had to go and change it to some gay story mode that sucks very badly.

its like a playground a playground of destruction, but, its to short buts its fun sure it doesnt compare to call of duty 2 and rainbow six. but its still a great first person shooter but its still has some flaws like when your shooting it doesnt kill them what the heck is up with that. but i give it a 3 out of 5

XBOX live game is a rip off

Like buying a car that doesn't drive. I can never connect to the server. There are no diagnostic suggestions and the game won't troubleshoot. I'm able to connect with all games and the dashboard. From the reviews online it sounds like EA is unwilling to offer support for that half of the game.

If you like playing online (and this is a great on for that) you should save yourself the frustration and avoid this game.

would be a classic

this game could have been a classic. However, my problem with it is that i find myself constantly taking orders in single-player like "stay up on the roof, or the mission is failed" and such. Also, the game, which has great graphics, does not exploit it with less-than-thrilling levels. the whole thing is just shooting people in different directions and listening for these instructions on where the enemy are. The reason i rate this a four instead of 2 or 3 is because of xbox live. Xbox live is great for this game and for xbox live-users like me, this is a 5-Star game with amazing live gameplay, and single player to do when your bored, but for people without live, rent it before buying it.

First let me say this game is made for xbox live & thats what got itself my 4 stars. The single player campaign was fun but after a little while it was a bit linear, and the enemy A.I seemed predictable. Although they did incorperate an awsome feature. Hotswap, which with the press of a button allows you to switch to a differnt soldier either 2 inches away or 2 miles.
The graphics were...ok but fortunatley the vast landscape made them look beautiful. Thing is, games are about gameplay.The last thing I found seemingly wrong was that during the missions you would switch between the Countries at war, making your accomplishments seem for nothing.

So now I move on to my next part of the game which is the best part.The multiplayer, and i repeat myself, this is a game ment for multiplayer.There is a great array of multiplayer maps, all of which i found extrordinarily fun to play on.When you first start you'll have a certain number of flags depending on which map and team you're on.These flags are scattered across the map and some are more stragetic to hold than others.These flags are your bases. You can spawn here with 1 of 5 kits(Unit Types).

From there you go around to differnt flags trying to capture them and lowering the opponets score by capturing flags or destroying your enemy.

And noone would want to disinclude vehicles in their review. They play a very important role. Theres quite the variety too. Jeeps, tanks, helicopters, even civilian cars. The only thing missing is planes.

Even though there's plenty of content I didnt mention such as medals or ribbons i think that contains the gist of it.

great on-line game
