This game sets the standard for a first person war battle sim. Have not found any game better thought out than this and if you have not played it, you are missing out. VERY WELL designed game and one I have been playing for 2 years while other many other games have come and went.
This is a great game for the price. If you like Call of Duty 4 multiplayer you will probally like this one, plus at this price you cant go wrong.
The game really shines when you and your team work together with strategy, working alone dulls the excitement (Unless you're an assassin type class). When I am seen by a tank, it ussually amounts to me running on top of the tank (because it's safe there), and praying that no enemies happen to stroll by the tank and notice me. The water effects are gorgeous and should be mentioned.Sound. The music is also great, unfortuneately, it is not used in game, and there are only four tracks.Gameplay. Superextraordinaryfantasticallygreat, this new word that I just made up is used to describe that gameplay. Or, go and play an RPG (I recommend Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion).Value.
One thing, if you are not going to go online with this game, forget buying it, go back to playing boring linear singleplayer shooters laden with repitition that makes you bored even thinking about it. It was the game battlefield 1942 that gave the series its popularity.Graphics. Unless you have spent the last ten years in a cave protected by some sound-proof gel, and you happen to be in the middle of the pacific ocean, chances are you've heard of the battlefield series at least once in your life time. This game has some of the best and most believable sound effects i have ever heard in a game. Or if you like futuristic shooters, you may want to check out Battlefield 2142, even though it's twice as expensive.For eveyone else - Simply click on "buy"Graphics - 9/10Sound - 10/10Gameplay - 9/10Multiplay - 10/10Value - 10/10Replay - 10/10Overall - 10/10 - Superextraordinaryfantasticallygreat++. Yeah, good for its time, but unless your graphics card AND you processor are more than three years old, you won't have any problem running it at max detail.
(This makes the drives REALLY angry).Multiplay. The day I am writing this, the price tag is $7.99, unless you are ultra cheap, you probably realize that this is a superb game at an unbelievablely low price.Replay. The game has its flaws in gameplay, though, all the vehicles are really unbalanced, how the hell does one take out a tank with a sniper rifle. Basically, there are 7 roles you can play in a battleAssault - Good in fire-fights, tires quicklySniper - Sneaky, stealthy, fast, and camoflaugedSpecial Ops - Accurate weapons and good speed, but no armorSupport - You carry a big gun. You will start sweating when you hear that enemy chopper comming.for YOU. ~oh yeah.Engineer - A guy with a shotgun and a wrench (help me).Medic - You're like assault, except your not as good.Anti-Tank - Its more like anti - everything.Needless to say, the 11 maps turn into full-fledged wars, and man - it's really fun.
Ok, I play it EVERY weekend for three hours, is that enough replay value for you.Ok, BF2 is not for everyone, if your the kind of guy who thinks shooters are cheap junk with no replay value, well, unless you want to be dragged kicking and screaming into the world of reallity, you probably won't want to buy this game.
It may be a wee bit older now, but that means it is no less fun. Shoot your friends or complete strangers in the face with a Medic's shotgun, and then get blown up completely by a Sniper's claymore. Have fun with this one.
The visuals are good, although for 2008 may be a bit dated. I have a fairly new Dell Dual processing chip with 2meg ram and it handles it easily. I really enjoy this game. There are about 10 missions that I see in the single player option.
It is not a memory hog at all, at least for my machine. My only complaint is that the personal weapon choices are not as great as I had with other games. The AI of your team members is pretty good, although sometimes suicidal. I've gone through 3 so far in about 3 weeks and have enjoyed them all.
There are lots of vehicle and armor options that allow for each play of a mission to be different than the last. But that's minor compared to all else.
