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.

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.

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 on-line game

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.

Great multiplayer but crappy single player.

This game is one of the most fun games I've ever played. For me it really rivals Halo 2. Most people would probably disagree with that statement but it's true for me. First let me just start out by saying that the single player is just a way to waste time while your wasting time. It's so stupid and annoying. You basically play as one guy at a time while your stupid squad runs into oncoming fire. The only command you have over them is to tell a nearby soldier to get into the gunner seat of your vehicle. Anything more complicated than that and you will have to switch to him by the "Hotswap" feature. TO do that you have to be in direct sight of him anyway. Really not that fun if your used to games like ghost recon and rainbow 6.

The real reason that you want this game is for the online play which is great. If you don't have xbox live then your going to pay around thirty dollars for about eight hours of annoyance for the single player. That's if you have to repeat missions over and over because you fail. The multiplayer is where this game shines by far. It's so much fun and I'll tell you why. When I play Halo 2 online there is always some punk who takes the gun that I want and am good with and then I get owned because I have a crappy gun. In this you get to pick what guns you want before you respawn after death. You can't have a custom set you have to pick a soldier class. There's assult which is basically an M16 whith an m203 grenade laucher and tou get a 9 mil pistol and flash and frag grenades. Then ther's the sniper which has a sniper rifle (obviously) a silenced pistol which is basically worthless unless you are fighting another sniper close range. You also get smoke grenades and a laser designator for taking out vehicles and helicopters and what not. Perhaps the most important tool is the GPS unit which allows you to reveal enemy locations on your radar for a couple of seconds. It also reveals them to your teamates as well. Then there is the special ops class which is just the assult class with silenced weapons C4 and a knife. Then the engineer class which has a shotgun, rocket launcher, land mines, a blow torch for repairing vehicles. Then lastly there is the support class which has the SAW machine gun a medical auto injector(mobile first aid kit) and he can call in mortar strikes.

The other thing that makes this game so much fun is that you don't have to practice at it forever to be good. All you have to do is think. This game is not as much about how well you can aim as it is about strategy and teamwork. If you have played FPS's before you'll have no problem whith this game at all. Especially if you like military shooters.

Another thing that is great is the vehicles. No matter what map you play vehicles are an integral part. More so on maps with helicopters. If you have someone who can decently pilot the thing the advantage is huge. You can fill up the passenger seats and fly over a high otherwise unaccessible spot and let your buddies parachute out. Another great part. If you find yourself hurling towards Earth then press the black button and pop out your parachute. It makes the game a little less real but it makes it a lot more fun.

The ranking works like this:Three things are required for getting a promotion. You need medals for doing feats such as killing a certain nuber of people without dying or healing so many of your buddies in one life and things of that nature. You also need points which you get by killing enemies, capturing flags, taking over flag posts etc. The third thing you need is PPH which I'm not sure what that stands for but the more you win the more you get so don't suck if you want to pick up a rank.

The bottom line is this. If you like military shooters that are semi arcadish and you have xbox live then this is the game you're looking for. If you don't have xbox live then you're wasting your money. Have fun.

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.

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.
