Let me start off by saying yea this game has a few minor problems which consist of pop-in's and disconnections from the EA Servers but other than those 2 technical issue's the game is great. Sure Ghost Recon may be my favorite stealth or realistic shooter but until you play BF2 you won't feel complete. The game has GRAW beat in the online graphics department from the great structured levels, looking at the bullet holes put in the walls and ground, even player models look detailed and sharp. Not to mention looking at the weapons is like eye candy. I highly suggest turning all huds and screen off to play just with the weapon reticle. The game is like a cinematic beauty at that stage.

Every soldier class is good and useful from the support soldier to assult. The feeling of being driven by a fellow teamate while you take control of the turret and watch his back until you get to your destination point the jumpout to use your rocket launcher on your shoulder blow up enemy tanks or vehicles is pure fun but nothing is more satisfy than blowing up an enemy Heli with a rocket launcher watching it explode to the floor. The power you feel in your player lets you know that no matter how high up or what weapon your packing everyone can be killed. Explosions such as those from grenades even feel better and more intense than GRAW.

It feels like a mini nuclear explosion with the subtle wave over the explosion area. Sometimes your teamates can be a problem as everyone will rather want to wait around and get a helicopter instead of winning the match or hopping in a tank to quick get to the action so you can run and gun or take contol of a tank and blow sh!t up. Though sometimes it can be great if you surround yourself with good communicating players. Most players didn't talk my whole match but when I told them I need back-up at flag 3 all of a sudden I saw enemies collapsing and jeeps speeding in with teamates jumping out and my crew Heli flying over me... they didn't talk but certainly responded and that feeling is great and one you just don't get from other Live titles at the moment. Honestly I haven't played the campaign(single player offline) mode much and nor would I want to.

The real fun is on Live and for a offline experience i'd rather play GRAW as the presentation of gameplay is a lot more orignal and gorgeous. If you've never play BF2 before or have been considering about jumping into the Xbox Live scene this is definitly the game to get as its ease of play allows anybody to jump in and play. Switching weapons on the fly is the best in any game so far in my opinion as all you do is hold RB and move the analog left,right,up, or down to switch to the appropiate weapon as opposed to GRAW where you eventually will have to use the scroll to pick what you want and make yourself very vulnerable.

While I still intend to play my GRAW everyday so I can get some serious kills, climb them ranks and talk trash for my evil satisfaction I will also put in plenty of hours to BF2 for sheer fun, kick back and just looking to have a good time.

Thanks for reading this super long review, please check out my others.
