Lost intirest

User Rating: 8.2 | Battlefield 2 PC
I know everyone is raving about how insanely awesome of a game this is, blah blah blah. I would have given this game a high 9 rating if I had written the review within the first few weeks I had gotten it. But I realize now there wasnt much there to keep me coming back to the game.

Gameplay 9/10
Very slick controls and perfect balance of weapons and each ability available to the specific weapons packages. At first I found it was much too difficult to gain enough experience to increase in rank and unlock weapons but they recently released a pack that sped this process up. Only thing to complain about here is the flying controls. Very realistic yes, but come on this is a videogame. I do not want to spend days learning how to fly a jet and then within five seconds flying out of the specified map areas and getting shot down for 'leaving the area', this was extremely annoying but i just decided never to use the flying vehicles and still had a pretty good time with the game for a while.

graphics 10/10
Nothing much to complain about here, graphics are perfect. You can see all the details, vehicles look great, guns look great, character models look great. You can tell alot of time and care was put into each model and assuring it had fine amounts of detail. It is a system hog but thats not the games fault, its yours.

Sound 10/10
Sound again is perfect, the guns have a deep, meaty sound to all of them and everything sounds very realistic down to the reloading sounds and footsteps you make. There isnt an ingame soundtrack but who really needs one? There is enough chaos and jets zooming overhead to make up for the lack of one.

Value 6/10
This is where the game dissapoints, overall it is a great game for the first months. But once you realize it is the same thing over, and over, and over again you lose intirest in it. You just enter a map, grap your favorite weapons settings, kill someone, get shot, kill someone, get shot, then make a mad dash for a flag... only to get shot again.

Good game but i guess it never grabbed me. I know for some people it really did but i couldnt find much in it.
