"The best thing that we can say about Battlefield 2 is that even when it's at its worst, it can still be as much fun as its illustrious predecessors. However, when you experience Battlefield 2 like it's meant to be played, with everyone working together and using real-time voice chat, the game quickly becomes unlike anything else that you've played before. When it's at its best, Battlefield 2 elevates online gaming to whole new heights. Put simply, this is a thrilling and revolutionary game that just has to be played to be believed."
 
Keep in mind, Gamespot used the BF2 demo to pimp their Gamecenter service. So they POSSIBLY couldn't give this less than a 9. :lol
 
I'm faced with a dilemma now, I wasn't planning on buying this game at all and instead finishing a bit of my backlog, *sigh*.. I guess I didn't buy this 6800GT for nothing. :D
 
This game is awesome. Really awesome.
I cannot accept the 8.9 score of IGN.
I really can't understand.

Best online game I played by far. So much fun.

Thanks for giving reasons why you feel the game is over rated. I now agree with you. Fuck Battlefield, fuck Dice, and fuck EA.

Take a few prozac and insert a tampon.
 
I'm gonna wait a couple months after a few patches come out before I buy it. I bought Vietnam the day it came out and had to wait a long time before it was playable.

The deal with BF2 is it has plenty of issues, it's just still fun inspite of those issues.

The issues arent that bad to warrant affecting a review. I agree there are things that should be fixed like the server finder. But the game side is easily the best online game i have played.

Wait for the 360 version, then it will be AWESOME!!!!

There is no Xbox 360 version of Battlefield 2. The Battlefield game on the Xbox 360 is Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, which is also being released on the Xbox and PlayStation 2. They are two different games I believe.

'twas a joke my friend. Guess I didn't add enough exclamation marks. :D

I wouldn't go by the Vietnam debacle as a precedent. That was a completely different team within Dice. Judging by the demo and the response of the preview builds this will be a much smoother ride out of the box.

I don't see why anyone would hate it in the first place.

- Unusable server browser?
- Godawful control menu?
- The engine is bad- poor graphics and runs really slowly?

Still, probably gonna buy it because it's very fun though.

I love this game.


heh, thanks. Still, I've gotten the habit lately to give into the TK'ers and...join up. Had 1 server, that's all they were doing, both sides, TK'ing each other. Kinda fun in a stupid way :lol :lol :lol

The browser is shit, yes, but it's not enough to hate the game. It's something that will be patched within a few weeks I bet. I haven't played with the control menu because I feel the default controls work well. The graphics are hardly bad and it runs well. I'm at 60FPS all the time with no slowdowns on medium. I could probably push it higher, but I'm fine where it is.
 
I am getting better at flying. I can actually stay in the air and run patrols around. Just don't ask me to bomb and fly at the same time.

Also, the red teammates glitch needs to go NOW. I got kicked off a server tonight because I had a -22 score. Fuck that, they were all red and shooting at me!

....I have NO idea how you keep getting this over and over. I've only experienced something similar once. -22? Good lord...

I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but damn you have bad luck.
 
i think that glitch happens on certain servers only. (not sure why i think this... its just been my experience that some servers never have this problem)

dont quote me, but i read on some BF2 forum that the glitch is caused by servers that allow 64 people to play on a 32p map.

dunno how true this is.
