BATTLEFIELD 2
If you’ve played Battlefield 1942 and you think that Battlefield 2 is another sequel in which some improvements were thrown in just for the sake of making a sequel, then you’re so wrong.
Electronic Arts and Digital Illusions have put together a military action game, which stomps out all competition from similar games in its genre. Unmatched game play, unlimited replayability, cutting-edge visuals and surreal audio is what makes Battlefield 2 a testament to how great PC gaming can be.
Contrary to its name, Battlefield 2 is actually the third game in its series and its producers made sure that it followed the gameplay style of its predecessors’. Depending on how many people are playing at once, the game will scale its map size to accommodate a suitable number of players. However, it allows for a maximum of 32 players on each side to battle it out on land, sea and air.
The difference this time round, is that you will be equipped with modern weapons and equipment, as Battlefield 2 is based on a near-future conflict between the United States, China and the Middle Eastern Coalition.
You are a soldier in a battlefield, and of course not just any soldier running around with guns ablazing. There are several classes available, such as the medic, the sniper, the engineer, the anti-tank and many more. Each of these classes have their own specific gameplay style, such as medics are usually running around dropping med kits for wounded soldier, engineers blow up bridges and lay mines to hinder enemy movement, and anti-tanks are equipped with ______(dunno what lancheow) to take out enemy tanks from afar.
If constantly running around on the ground isn’t your thing, then you can always take to the skies and try your hand at being a pilot of the (name of lancheow airprane) or the (name of lancheow helicopter). Expert pilots are the key to winning battles because they provide air cover and wreck havoc upon tanks and solitary targets.
Battlefield 2 features a large landscape which allows players to move freely, thus vehicles are an essential asset in the game. Tanks, Hum Vees, Anti-Air vehicles, and Armored Personal(Personnel?) Carriers are just some of the vehicles in the game which add a whole new dimension to it.
Of course, having 64 people running around the map just killing anyone they see doesn’t make any sense. That is why Battlefield 2 allows players to form squads of (forgot how many lancheow people in one squad), so that commands such as attack or defend can be belted out to the players instead of having them just running around like blind men. In addition, one player from each side can have the honor of being the Commander for their side. The Commander has an overall view of the battlefield and can call in supply drops or artillery strikes on any part of it.
The game starts with a number of tickets for each side, for example, 150. Each time a player dies, a ticket is deducted. Further tickets can be reduced depending on how many flags the opposing army has under their control. The fewer flags or points captured that the opposing army has under their control, the faster the rate of their ticket deduction. Once their number of tickets reach 0, they lose.
Also, for kan mature players, (like polarbearz) Electronic Arts also implemented the Voice-Chat system in the game, allowing players to speak to/swear at each other real-time if they have a mic.
Players who participate in battles do not go unrecognized because there is a ranking system which calculates the points they accumulate by killing other players and capturing flags. Accumulate enough points, and you rise up in rank from a lancheowy private. Accompanying those ranks, are new and better weapons which you can choose to unlock.
Another feature of the game is that it actually tracks your gameplay real-time. Players who play Battlefield 2 can head over to Www.Bf2s.com to check their statistics which include number of kills/deaths, accuracy, weapon of choice and of course not to mention the many badges and ribbons which one can accumulate through performing certain feats. For example, killing 10 people with the Sniper Rifle in one round earns you the Basic Sniper badge.
The Good: Outstanding graphics, realistic sound effects, online gameplay available, squad and commander system, Good replayability value
The Bad: Fucking long load times, Requires uber l337 comp to be able to view the high-end graphics, some occasional gh3ys who like to spoil shit by teamkilling everyone
All in all, words don’t mean shit so just fucking head over to your nearest computer store, grab the game off the shelf, whip out 60 bucks from ur wallet, go home, install and get ready to experience a game that just has to be played to be believed. KTHNXFUCKINGBEY IM FUCKING HUNGRY NOW.
