Exceeded expectations but sucks at the same time.

This could be the best Xbox game, EVER! Unlike the previous comments, the pictures and textures are magnificent to behold! The maps are HUGE with great detail. The controls feel tight and on target. This is how the game exceeded my expectations.

How it sucks? I bought this for online play ONLY. I could care less about single player. I played the Demo to death since July and that was only one map (my CD has faded). So, just imagine my excitement when the game came out and has so many more maps.

Only problem is it's almost impossible to play online. The game freezes during matches, lags and then boots you out of the room, or you can't sign in at all.

Also, my stats are missing half the time. I've noticed that players are racking up points in the thousands but how are they on long enough to to that??? I belong to three different gamer groups (two of which are GeezerGamers and 2Old2Play) and no one can get into or stay in a game!

And, I was excited about the support for Clans. There are clans but you can't play clan matches. HUH???????????? Unless they upgrade the game, there's nowhere to make your own room like in Halo2 or PGR2. How are we supposed to practice for the big tournament??? Not to mention no one can get on or gets booted every few minutes!

Like I said, this game could be the greatest game ever for the Xbox........ but only if EA gets their act together fast.

We beta tested the you know what out of the demo for you guys for FREE! Don't get me wrong, the demo was awesome and we loved it. But we would love this more. We expected better from EA than we're getting. And that's a shame.

DO NOT BUY THIS GAME....

....if you care about online play. I know that some reviewers have said that EA has fixed their online problems; unfortunately this is not entirely true, depending on what you feel that the online problems are. Some of the freezing issues have been eradicated, but the overall interface is typical EA - worthless at best.

I am a mature gamer (30+) and regularly play with a group of friends, it is next to impossible to get them all into one game, and once you do, you inevitably get a bunch of screaming kids, racists, etc because EA didn't have the foresight to add a "friend only" option?!?!?!

Perhaps I have just been spoiled with Halo 2's party/lobby system, I don't know what is wrong with EA, but they insist on managing the online portion of their gaming. Have they not proved it time and time again that their Live interface is one of the worst in online gaming? In one corner, you have Bungie with a tried and true menu/lobby/game selection UI... and on the other side, you have the mess that EA passes off as UI. So why do it? Is it because they don't want their XBL corporate identity to be linked as a little sibling of Bungie, or a copycat? They need to get over it, the comparison is still being made, only in a MUCH more unfriendly light.

It is truly a shame that what could have been a fantastic game is doomed to be a colossal failure due to a horrid user interface... way to go EA... again...

EA IS HORRIBLE !!!! DON"T THROW AWAY YOUR $$$$$$

OK, so there I was, eagerly awaiting the release of BF2 for Xbox. I'd played the demo, played on computer, it was all pretty cool, and it can only get better by the time it releases right? Well, nope. It seems like an ok single player game, but who really likes to do that? Everyone wants to play online. Except in this game, you really can't. All that has been happening to me so far, is that I have problems signing on, I lose my connection halfway through a game, and it when I can play, it doesn't keep my stats. All in all, if you want a decent single player game, this might be for you. If you want to play online, send me 50 bucks, I'll send you Halo 2, and we will both be happy. Until EA fixes their glitches (I understand that @#$$ happens, but I don't want to pay 50 bucks for it) I will be thinking of returning this totally worthless multiplayer game, and playing Halo 2.

this is stupid

Take the amazing PC Battlefield 2, subtract the keyboard and mouse that make a FPS game a dream to play, throw in a boring single player campaign, downgrade the graphics, take the heart of the Battlefield games, it's online play, and fill it with bugs and bump the number of players in a game from 64 down to 24 and you get Battlefield Modern Combat. I don't think I really need to say more but I will. I didn't have extreamly high hopes for this game in the first place when I saw the number of players that can fit into a multiplayer game. I was mainly hoping that BFMC would have bot battles without mission objectives to worry about to go along with the campaign. Well, there are no bot battles. Yes, I have played a multiplayer match in BFMC, but it still doesn't fell much like the PC Battlefield games before it. When you think about how difficult it is to get XBOX Live and the fairly small amount of XBOX owners that actually have it, you realize that online multiplayer isn't enough to support a game on it's own. You need good singleplayer or split screen modes too. EA seems to have passed this up and left this games players with a smaller online multiplayer, no split screen games, and a really boring campaign mode. In the single player campaign, you go through multiplayer maps with scripted events and mission objectives. Only, it's not enough like a multiplayer map to generate the same amount of fun. The enemys don't wander the map and act like team players or even attack enemys at will. They ONLY show up where they need to be, detracting from the realisim and overall fun. You'll know what I mean when you start to walk through a town after not being able to find any action and have 20 enemy soldiers spawn right out of thin air and shoot you to pieces. The graphics have also been brought down. The explosions are not nearly as nice looking as BF2. Now, I realize that the XBOX doesn't have the right amount of hardware as a computer that can run BF2, but they could at least have had pieces of the vehicles go flying when you blow up a tank or helicopter. Instead, the vehicle just disappears in a strange cloud of smoke and sparks. No chunks of the vehicle, no fragments of metal, just... POOF. You also cannot select a unit type upon spawing. Instead, you "hotswap" to another soldier on the battlefield. You can do this at will during the mission, (and it means the game doesn't end every time you die) but it makes it hard to get the types of units to the place they're needed most as the nearest soldier to hotswap to might be at the completly opposite end of the map. If you have XBOX Live and aren't expecting a reveloution in the XBOX Live FPS, you might as well get this game (even though there are still plenty of online FPS games for the XBOX that are much more fun). If you don't have Live or aren't interested in playing this game on it, don't even bother. The Battlefield games weren't ment to be a single player game in the first place.

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?

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.

Nah

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.
