Nice but limited in single player.
Single player mode is very limited. to run special forces packages you must be connected online even in a single player mode which you may get dropped out sometimes by EA online servers. However, it is so much fun.

A Great game....if you have a great computer!
Ok, so let me start with my computer specs. I have a Compaq Presario 2038X which I got for Christmas. I expected to be able to play this game fine (it's a new computer for crying out loud!), however, I was mistaken. I wound up playing it with 800 by 600 resolution, with everything set to low, and this computer couldn't even handle that. I'd get maybe 5 minutes of solid gameplay and then the game would either freeze or kick me off the game to my desktop. Soon thereafter, I wasn't able to play the game at all and I'd get a black flashing screen. At first I thought maybe it was a virus or some new hardware, but it just appears this game is incredibly demanding. At first, these were my specs:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+, 1 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive, and Nvidia 6150LE integrated graphics.
Just last week I went out and bought a 2GB RAM expansion from newegg for around 90 bucks, which I couldn't pass up. I didn't expect it to do anything for this game, maybe boost loading times if anything, but I was wrong. I now am playing it on 1024 by 786 resolution with everything set to medium, except textures which are set to high, with no lag at all. I have not had any problems at all since. This is a great FPS, but just make sure you keep up with the patches and your computer can run it! My computer met the recommended system requirements and I still encountered problems! For this price with all the expansions, it's quite a deal.

This game rocks!
"Hey I need a ride."
"Ok, hop in!"
"Ten-four, thank you."
Battlefield 2 is the best game ever this is what you do..
First you set up a acount.
Make sure you game works.
Get the patches.
Get a mod or two, I recomend Project Realisim (I think it is called that).
Next make sure the mod works.
Get ready for the fight of your life!
Watch the intro (Which rocks!).
Next log in.
Select a map.
It loads.
Once it is done press play, and hear is what you do...
First you see a map come up on your screen. Click the dot that you want to start at. Press the squad button at the top of the map. Become a commander or join, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie e.t.c.
Next switch back to the map screen click a weapon and press done. You can be a medic, enginer, pilot, seal, speical forces troop, sniper, anything!
There are four armys, two on a map, U.S. and England and Russia as Allies for the (bad guys lol) there is China, Insurgents, Rebels. You guy has spawned were you want him to. Lets make our guy a medic. We move our guy around and aim with the controls we set. We learn about, HUV, artillery, scans, crates and more, we are a commander. Now we head into the chaos. We see a MEC coming, MEC's are the Chinese. We blast away when he isn't looking. We notice one of are troops are dead, we quickly run over to help him. We see a sniper and he dosen't see us. We open up our como-rose, a command system. We select we see a sniper. Just then someone comes in a tank and blast's him out of there with it's turett. We run up and find a dead body. It is dead so there is nothing we can do to it. (It is not the enemey sniper, it is one of ours.)
We take it machine gun and run up. Someone yells, what are your orders sire? We say we need to clear out the base ahead. Everyone takes out a grapling hook and throws it up there. We run down stairs and take over the base. We raise our flag, this is ours. We come arcross a brige. No ones on it anymore we all moved up. We plant C4 then run, run like a bat out of hell. 3, 2, 1, everyone out of there we yell, then we blow it. The enemeys are angry. We set up a helicoptor above are base and plant machine guns. Then we put mines on the ground. Then there is a huge battle! Will the Allies win? Buy the game and find out!

Registration and support
BF2 is a great game, some small flaws, but a great game. Special Forces is a pretty good add-on. Armored Fury and EuroForce do not add very much to the gameplay, but installing them is a hit or miss proposition. From my recent, last couple of days (04/27/07) experience, EA does not have a reliable method to register the Booster Pack add-ons so that you can play them. The number of other owners who also have this problem and are getting little to no help from EA is quite large. I was lucky, after using the right information over a period of four hours I was finally able to register and play the add-ons, but the registration process is not reliable, the same information that allows the registration of the game might not the first several times you try.
This pack is a good value for BF2 and BF2:SF, but the installation procedure for the Booster Packs is amateurish and should have been done reliably. If future games are released with this type of registration I will either return them or never buy them in the first place.

If you like war games, this one is a must...
For those that read this review you must know that this game is simple the best FPS with online gameplay available. Each time you go into a new battle maps sizes will change depending on how much players are playing, and you can also talk with evryone while you're blowing tanks and firing machine guns. The installation is a little slow, and loading times sometimes are annoying, but all of this waitings are worth the money. You must arm yourself with an, at least, a Pentium D processor with 2.80Ghz and 2x2 Cache Memory, an Nvidia Geforce 7300 LE 256MB and 2GB of RAM. You'll need this if you want your game to run as smoothly as possible. See you on the Battlefield Soldiers!!!
