    For me it is the best I've played Battlefield before. The game manages to bring an atmosphere, a very good multiplayer. A great game for that year. .

    A masterpiece. One of my favorite Games in all time. Sadly Dice/EA hasn't kept Offline singleplayer sessions with Bots what i would really appreciate. Still playing this Game in 2016 with in Fanmade multiplayer project.

    Battlefiled 1942 and 2 were a great games and i enjoyed playing them for a long time some things in battlefield 1942 were just great like both the teams having a aircraft carrier which they could take anywhere around the island map and many other fetures which are yet to be explored in the latest battlefield games.

    Игра хороша. В ней есть не обычная механика которая была только в этой серии игр. Вырос уровень интеллекта у ботов. Стало больше карт и классов.

    The best game of my life. Spend so much time playing it. So fun and chalenging. I have found so many friends in this game so we became friends in real life. Hate EA so much for shut downing servers and community servers.

    Battlefield 2 is one of those rare games that only comes along every now and then. Some players may be put of by environments being smaller than those in previous entries to the series, but from the start of the mach until the score readout, Battlefield is one journey you don't want to miss.

    Despite what others are saying, it is not so buggy. I own an AMD 2.7, 1gb ram, with 9600 xt, and it runs very well on highest graphic settings. Virtually no lag, and it has only crashed once. I am having a great time playing it online, but it helps if you have a good commander.

    The singleplayer content is less then good however when you can find a server without lag, it is the best FPS you can play.

    With the recent letdown that MW2 offered the PC community, its good to know that there are still realistic games with an active community. With matches up to 64 players, objectives, and a squad focus, you feel you and everyone else is actually helping the team in some way, and strategies are important.

This is not just some random death match of random stupidity. I wish I could have experienced more of this game but after experiencing the mod Project Reality (proving that mod communities are still alive for this game), I can't go back. Project Reality alone justifies buying this game, and BF2 is well worth the currently low price tag.… Expand

    Great game. Even on lower graphics settings, it still looks pretty good. The gameplay is great. People who were looking for something 'revolutionary' apparently forgot how fun the original was. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. It's also wonderful that snipers are fairly useless. It would be nice if there were a buddy list for multiplayer, and the VOIP would be Great game.

It would be nice if there were a buddy list for multiplayer, and the VOIP would be more useful if people would go out and buy headphones. Sometimes the vehicles are frustratingly overpowered, but this makes it more rewarding to play Anit-Tank, or Spec Ops. There is NOTHING more fun than blowing up a tank with C4.… Expand

    Absolutely worth the wait. A must-own PC FPS. Best modern warfare combat game available, or ever made. Only thing that lets it down are EA's well known bugs, lack of patches [or bad patches] and the like all common on a MMultiplayer game. Go Get It!

    Excellent gameplay, sound and visuals. Yes, there were some design departures from earlier BF titles, but it works well with this game. Lots of replayability for single user and online.

    Well worth buying a new video card for. While I agree that this isn't a particularly ground-breaking game, it has all of the old 1942 style fun and frenetic action, while adding enough new features and concepts to keep even a surly old BF 'vet like myself interested.

    True, this game can be laggy at times and the server screen can be annoying. Sometimes I wonder if EA really put any effort into anything else but the gameplay. However, the gameplay is amazing. I dont know how its possible to get more than one new gun, or any of the silver medals without playing less than like 200 hours, but those 200 hours will be glorious. And Mick N., stop whining.

If you would have to land every time you would just get C4'd or killed by anti-armor and then you would be here whining about that. By the way, did you ever think of the fact that if a jet plane was flying that low to the ground, right above your head you would probably be deafened and definitely be knocked off your feet. I bet you didn't. And I can tell you why, Because it's a video game!… Expand

    Once you strap into an F/A-18 and rocket over the landscape, once you're crouched next to a tank trying valiantly to repair it while bullets ping off of the armor inches above your head, once you defend a waypoint and ask for new orders from your commander over the radio, all of those nitpicks about map balance or sniper power fade.
