Simply one of the best games EVER!
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. It was the game battlefield 1942 that gave the series its popularity.
Graphics. 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. The water effects are gorgeous and should be mentioned.
Sound. This game has some of the best and most believable sound effects i have ever heard in a game. You will start sweating when you hear that enemy chopper comming...for YOU! 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. Basically, there are 7 roles you can play in a battle
Assault - Good in fire-fights, tires quickly
Sniper - Sneaky, stealthy, fast, and camoflauged
Special Ops - Accurate weapons and good speed, but no armor
Support - You carry a big gun! ~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! 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). 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? 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. (This makes the drives REALLY angry).
Multiplay. 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. Or, go and play an RPG (I recommend Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivion).
Value. 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. 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. 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 - 9/10
Sound - 10/10
Gameplay - 9/10
Multiplay - 10/10
Value - 10/10
Replay - 10/10
Overall - 10/10 - Superextraordinaryfantasticallygreat++!
