User Rating: 9.6 | Battlefield 2 PC
Battlefield 2, wow. The game of Battlefield is amazing. Why? You can play in over twelve different maps and you are able to drive multiple vehicles, fly mutliple Helicopters and planes and also drive boats! This game is purely a huge achievement and is clearly one of the best PC games of 2005.

The gameplay in Battlefield is extremely addicting. The fast-pace gameplay can be loads of fun. when your game starts, you can choose to whether move out on foot or choose a vehicle such as a M1A2 abrams tank. You can have a buddy hop in as the gunner on top using the 50cal. Or you can choose to hop in a Humvee and have three other buddys hop in the car with you. There is alot of things you can do in this game that you cannot do in other games. There are some flaws though in this game.

The major flaw is how this game is practically multiplayer oriented only. There is no campaign in which the single player has a story-mode. Instead, the single player mode is just a skirmish match playing against bots. With this flaw and dissapointing thing, the games value drops down a little bit. However . . .

The Multiplayer mode is absolutely amazing. You can play up to 64 people in a match, yes, 64 people. There are hundreds and even thousands of different servers in which you can join. Whether you want to play with only 16 people, or with only 32 people instead of 64, you can do it. In multiplayer, you have the ability to search for ranked matches or unranked matches.

When you play ranked matches, you get points and the points get added to your score. You start out as a Private and you have to slower work your rank up all the way up to a General which nobody has yet to do since there is so much to do. There are hundreds of medals and ribbons and badges you can get. Ex, if you use your rifle alot, you can get the 'Basic Rifleman badge' and the better and more you use it, you move on to verteran and then expert Rifleman. The ranking system is superb and probably the best I've seen besides Halo 2.

When you rank up in Multiplayer, you can unlock special and powerful weapons. Such as if you rank up to Corporal, you get one unlock. You can use this unlock to unlock a weapon of your choice. As you rank up and get promoted, you get another unlock.

This game features a commander/squad system which works out very well in gameplay. One of the players on your team, usually the most skilled and highest ranked person will be the commander. The commander will drop supplies around the map allowing his teammates to refit and supply. The commander can also order air strikes across the map which comes in handy almost all the time. The most used feature the commander can do is call in a UAV which circles around a area in which you order it and it locates and puts enemies in your radar. If you are not a commander, you can be a squad leader or squad member. The squad leader can tell the members of the squad to attack a specific position. Also, the squad members can spawn at the squad leaders position if they die.

Something else adds to the replay value, modding. The community has added lots and lots of new features and maps to the game.

The graphics in this game is superb also if you run it on all high settings, the game will run beautifully and the environment and cities will look very nice. The detail in the characters and weapons and even vehicles are very good.

The sound is exceptionally good. All the weapons and vehicles sound very athentic. The helicopters and planes sound very well too. There are lots of voice commands that you will end up using alot by pressing the 'Q' button and holding it and then using your mouse to choose which one.

Overall, this game is amazing and if you are into PC shooters, this game should be in your collection without a doubt.
