Battlefield 2 is the greatest fps online...in my oppion. The games 3 factions: the US, Chinese, and MEC(middle eastern colition) are very different from each other in respect to equipment and starting battlefield positions(which never change). Kits are basically a class of weapon and gear that comes with it. You cant costomize kits, but each one offers uniqeness and strategy. For example the sniper kit comes with a (you guessed it) sniper rifle, silenced pistol, grenades, and clamores(dentonated by friend or foe moving in front of them). Now each faction has the same weapon kits but the weapons in those kits are different depending on the side you choose. For example the US assualt kit will give you a m16 with a m203 grenade luacher attached, but a chinese assualt kit would give you an ak47 with a grenade luancher attached. These kits are overall the same but certain weapons have different strength, the m16 isn't as strong as the ak47 but its more acurate, etc. So some sides will have better kit variation than others but its all very balanced. Here is all the kits: special forces, sniper, assualt, engineer, support, anti-tank, medic. And all of these kits have universal unlocks(meaning all three factions get the same weapon unlock), for example the assualt kit unlock is the g3, a rifle without a grenade luancher attached, but its alot more powerfull, so the chinese, US, and Mec and get to use these universal unlocks as a secondary option in case you dont like the standard weapon that comes with that sides kit, although to unlock these weapons you need to earn pts by playing online and getting kills etc. and once you get promoted then they give you the option of unlocking one weapon from any kit class. For you first weapon unlock id go for the special forces unlcok due too its high acuracy and good damage, its a good infantry killer at any range(solid first choice). Along with the new special force expansion pack just released, some of the new weapons found only in the expansion are now aviable as universal unlocks for this original game, but you have to unlock the first weapons in the line up before you can unlock the expansion pack gun.(ie to unlock the assualt kit gun that comes from the expansion pack you first need to unlock the g3 and then you can unlock to other one, which by the way is the only gun that also comes with flashbang grenades!!)
Vehicles range from fast transports to apc's to tanks. As well as flying types such as transport helicopters, attack helicopters, and different purpose jets(fighters,bombers, etc.) The ground vehicles control great and are a force on the battlefield(although they never dominate the battlefield), but the flying vehicles controls are something to get used to, especially jets which can be difficult to master. But while i'm online i've witnessed some jet pilots who are the best around, they rarely miss on bombing runs, and they almost never get blown out of the sky.
Maps vary from open fields with some buildings here and there, too cities with many open windows for snipers as well as roof tops. And its the city levels that are most popular("strike at karkland" we are looking at you!).
Now lets talk about the command sys. You can join an already created sqd or you can create you own squad and invite other players to join. Next there is the commander which at the begining of each match you can apply to be commander but the highest ranking player who applied will get the position. Commanders can scan the battlefield for enemies, use artillery on the enemy, locate bad guys on your radar through uav scan, and drop supply crates to help you out if your low on health or ammo. Sqd leaders can talk via voice chat (through a mic) to the commander and to his sqd members, the commander can only talk to sqd leaders, and the sqd members can only talk to people in their sqd and to their sqd leader. This prevents unorganized chat, so everything is clearly understood.
Well thats the basics of the game (no, i wont explain everything to you), you'll have to buy the game to figure the rest out (which is not alot left to learn since i gave you alot). Anyway, peace out gamers, i gonna go play battlefield 2 now (i'm not joking). Look my player name up: SPARTAN2316
I look foward to seeing you on the battlefield.......
