Battlefield 2 Critic Reviews
And, for the first time, it actually felt like war. Granted, not a realistic war, as you weren't wont to see fighter pilots parachuting out of planes, into tanks, and then driving the tanks into the hills of Cassino before going on a rampage and killing...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at UnderGroundOnline
The core Battlefield game is still the same: it's a first-person shooter with land, sea, and air vehicles where two teams compete over key points on the map....read the complete Battlefield 2 review at GameSpy
The neat thing is that none of it—the chain of command, the elitist bands of E-brothers, the Patton-approved battle plans—needs to matter, at least to the curious weekend commando looking to pop into a public server and simply shoot somebody....read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Computer Gaming World
one of three superpowers — the US, Chinese or the Middle East Coalition — and are then hurled into battle to secure vital control posts. A few seconds after being killed, your character reappears at a spawn point, and the madness continues unt...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Times Online

Battlefield 2 (BF2) involves three factions. The Americans, the Chinese, and the Middle Eastern Coalition (a fake faction). What's rather stunning to me is that there is only game type regardless if you're playing single player (see below) or mutliplayer....read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Gamerz-Edge
When it’s all said and done, Battlefield 2 is one of those games that justifies upgrading ones computer and splurging for the sometimes-pricey broadband connection. It’s a fulfilling experience through and through....read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Loaded Inc
I could hear the sand grains being pushed aside as I lay prone behind a stack of sandbags. Behind me were three of my squad members awaiting their orders.

Battlefield 2 has only one mode of game-play which sounds like it could be a problem but when you see how good the game-play mode is you will have no complaints. The game-play is a map conquest with two teams starting with 8, 16 or 32 players each and a...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Contact Music

Each map in Battlefield 2 has a different vibe and look to them. Some are urban and others can be in a murky swamp. The difference in the levels means that you will have to think of different tactics to overpower the enemy. Sometimes a team will start...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Club Skill
Battlefield 2 is a huge step up from Battlefield 1942. There weren’t as many vehicles or large maps in its predecessor, but Battlefield 2 features numerous vehicles and incredibly large maps. Another thing was that you had to use Team Speak or any...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Gaming Horizon
Battlefield 2 features 12 maps (there are three versions of each - for 16, 32 and 64 players) upon release, which includes locations such as power plants, oil fields, mines, dams, harbors, farms, islands, cities, and more. The difference between 16 and...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Gameguru Mania
room for lone wolf heroes and selfish cowardice still, but if you enlist to fight across Battlefield 2's near-future hotspots, know that you must relent to being part of a cohesive force of unified aim. BF1942 was a training tool for the virtual battlefie...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Computer and Video Games
Now if only DICE can figure out how to address some of the issues that have plagued the Battlefield games since 1942, like bad single-player content and a pervasively noob-hostile atmosphere, we'd be in gaming heaven. As it stands, we're slightly below...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Game Revolution

Like the previous two Battlefield games, Battlefield 2 allows for a single player game. If you don’t care to hop into an online game and get fragged seven ways to Sunday, you’ll probably opt to put in a few rounds of single player before heading...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at GamersMark
An example is in order: people get shot in battles. Shot persons are in need of medics, most of the time. Battlefield 2’s solution is to offer two levels of dead: “severely wounded†troops can call for a medic. Their cries are seen by...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Digital Entertainment News
If you have a fast computer with a good current generation video card, then Battlefield 2 is going to look amazing. The detail on the characters, weapons, vehicles and general textures on the ground and buildings is fantastic. Trees move in the wind,...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Gamer Within
The variety is what makes Battlefield 2 the enjoyable game it is; the unpredictability means it rarely gets repetitive. Yet, once again, bugs bring the final score down a peg or two.

The animation is smooth and the sound effects are top shelf. Bullets whiz by, explosions echo in the valley and the screams of the enemy play like a sadistic symphony across the bloody fields. War has never been this much fun....read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Cheat Code Central
If your machine is up to it, you won’t find a better team game than Battlefield 2, period....read the complete Battlefield 2 review at Games Radar
Battlefield 2 ships with just one gametype: the familiar capture-and-hold style ‘conquest’. The reason for this is most likely to avoid what happened to Unreal Tournament 2004. Too many gametypes divides player numbers, and usually one gametype...read the complete Battlefield 2 review at PC Game World
But let me first say, those with weak rigs, turn away now. I know, it hurts to be shunned, but this new installment of Battlefield will break you, if Half-Life 2 didn't already.

There are only two things that keep Battlefield 2 from online perfection. The first and most formidable of the two is the terrible browser used to navigate the game’s servers. It’s slow, inaccurate, and downright frustrating at times....read the complete Battlefield 2 review at eToychest
A large part of the immersion factor lies in BF2's incredible level and graphical design. All of the levels are very unique and diverse, each having some kind of twist that makes it more fun than all the others.
