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

exellent on-line game I played boht version regular xbox and 360 .is the king of the hill.the only diferent on the xbox version is the graphic's, otherwise is good and entertained as the 360.I recomended for on-line player. but for single player this game sucks.

Online only - single player not worth it.

Addictive is the only word I can think of to describe this game. Imagine storming an enemy base with 10 of your friends in jeeps, tanks, choppers, all the while you have automatic fire going off all around you, mortar strikes, snipers in the windows....you get the point. The ranking system is another great reason to keep playing. Depending on your playing time and skill, you'll move up through actual military ranks. My only complaint is that some of the medals are extremely tough to get and they are essential to your ascension in rank. But all in all, this is a fantastic game.

Great Addictive Game

This game is great for online play. The single player mode is kind of boring I thought but I didnt get much into it. Online play is aweeessommee. It's alot of fun strategizing with other teamates to storm a flag or all out charge the enemy base. This is a great game that really gets you hooked.

About as good as "Xbox Live" gets...

I used to play the two Far Cry versions on Xbox Live. I thought that was about the best stuff going on the system. (Forget about Halo 2). However, Battlefeild 2 is better than Far Cry. Even though the server will sometimes drop you out of the game and sometimes you can't get into a game for several minutes, Battlefeild 2 is a better playing experience. Playing a whole lot of conquest games (similar to capture the flag) on excellent maps never gets old. Cool tanks to jump into, cool helicopters to master or kill yourself trying to master, cool soldier types to use. Calling up an artillery strike can be very satisfiying. Sometimes being in the thick of a firefight seems extremely realistic. These are good graphics and sound effects. Also the controls are more responsive. When I went back to Far Cry after a week or so of playing tons of Battlefeild 2, the inferior quality of Far Cry's gameplay and it's control issues were obvious. I've gotta give it the highest rating fot it's live gaming alone.

All out XBOX live combat action!

This is an awsome game for XBOX live! True combat action! Twenty four players total per live game, twelve players to a team! Multi small arms, vehicles, boats and choppers!

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.
