 Great Game but with Strings Attached August 14, 2008
First off let me say that the package is true you do need a HIGH SPEED internet connection to play this game. I have a low speed connection(Dial Up) and it would not work for me. There is a single player with the game and if you are looking for mindless fun or a practice for when you play against pros then buy this game. However, i do feel the game needed a story to help the multiplayer as well as the Single Player. Also the game benefits Air power and aromor more than infantry when it should have all been more even. Also you should have more option when you are starting out and not be limited to the stock kits you start out with. That could have helped newbies gain more ranks quicker. All in all a good game not great but more of a jack of all trades.
To Check to see if it will work on your system... June 24, 2008

If you want to check to see if the game will run on your system, you should Google search the BF2 Demo. Its basically the same gaming engine, so if the demo is having issues on your PC, than chances are, so will the full game.
Of course patches are released in order to address common problems, but its foolish to assume that a patch will fix a hardware problem / conflict.
Bottom Line:
Download the demo to check if it will run on your system!!!!!!!
Beta but fun June 20, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Ya its beta software that has been out for quite a few years now. But its fun. The hackers that you constantly run into lower the games "fun factor" a bit.
The game does have built in VoIP and also a good team play atmosphere. So if you can not take it personally when a hacker one hits you while he is facing away from you then you might like this game.
A link to my stats page that shows how many hours I've put into the game:

Great game but terrible Netcode June 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Let me get one thing out of the way, I think Battlefield 2 is a great game (there are a lot of good reviews here that do a nice job of telling you why) with the exception of one big 'thing'. That 'thing' is Battlefield 2's underlying Netcode.
What is Netcode? Here's a good definition I pulled off the internet.
Netcode: this term refers to the application code that handles how data and instructions are passed from computer to computer during a multiplayer game.
To put it simply, Battlefield 2's Netcode is terrible. In BF2 you generally need a ping (another computer networking term) of 100 ms or less for a playable game over the internet. For players in geographic areas where there's a lot of servers, specifically for US or European players (China may have a lot of servers also), that's not a problem b/c pings of less than 100 ms (to game servers) are very easy to find.
But for players who don't physically live in the US or Europe, Battlefield 2 is unplayable over the internet b/c the pings are not low enough (again, a BF2 player generally needs less than a 100ms ping; I get 150 to 200ms pings to servers). And believe me I have tried playing a game over the internet connecting to a server with a 150ms ping....its unbearable.
Even BF2's interface (not the actual gameplay) is laggy. I'm talking about the 'server lobby' where a player browses the sever list and their respective pings. There's terrible lag when I even try to update the server list. These central servers (which aggregate all the BF2 servers in the world and present them to you in the 'server browser' interface) must be few in number and located in the US.
I'm not newbie either. I can play internet games of Battlefield 2142 (another great game) perfectly fine with pings of 150 ms to 250 ms on the same computer with the same internet connection. And BF2142 has less players and less servers.
Some of you may be thinking 'Hey buddy Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142 are essentially the same game. You make no sense.' Not entirely true. BF2 and BF2142 use **mostly** the same engine BUT the Battlefield 2142's "code" is much more refined compared to BF2's "code" (it came out something like a year later). I'm thinking one of the things DICE (the developer of the BF games) did during the time gap between BF2 and BF2142 was to refine the Netcode for BF2142 (because its so much better than BF2's Netcode).
To sum it up, Battlefield 2 is a great game with the exception of its horrid Netcode.
EDIT: Since I am unable to play BF2 online, I play the game offline with bots. And the great thing about BF2 is that there are free downloadable mods that allow you to play with 63 other bots....very fun. And check out the AIX (Allied Intent Xtended) single player mod....its free and AWESOME. Seriously, the AIX mod feels like a $30-40 expansion pack but like I said, its free.
 Good platform April 7, 2008

This game is good for people who are looking for some competition and a challenge.. the single player is basically a simulation of multi player (counter strike) but is either way too easy or the ai is unpredictable and dont help with getting good.. plus it gets old after a while...
multiplayer amazing, great shooter and easy to get used to
