Battlefield 2 Singleplayer Review. Perfect Graphics. Perfect Sound. And then, the Downfall.
User Rating: 7.6 | Battlefield 2 PC
First off let me say this. This game rocks! Starting with the graphics on this. they are spectacular. Hard to put into words exactly but they "belong" every detail seems to fit in perfectly with the environment. Next the sound is also excellent, they really sound loud and ... great. Gameplay play shooting is very slick also. The gun actually comes to face for real aiming not that baby crosshair stuff. Its still though, Hahaha buts its funner that way. Now here's where it got kinda irritating for me. I only bothered to play the single player missions and let me say im not that all impressed with the AI work on this game. Its just ****ing awful. Sorry to put like that, but that's the perfect word for it. The AI lacks any intelligence what so ever. What do mean you might ask? Well I'll give you some scenarios that I was in. 1. Starting out for the first time I started I got ranover by my own teammate from outta nowhere. Yea they apologize thats very nice but they really doesn't help for the 15+ secs you have to wait to get back in there. May not seem like much but it will if you try it. 2. The Bots don't even wait for a gunner in the choppers or in the planes, and they only spawn once after they die. Next we got one here where these highly trained marines that are acting like a bunch of idiots. They rarely if ever use cover in combat, when they atleast 30 meters away from the enemy they whip out there knifes and go after them.....!!!! Oh and you'll get kick outta this, When they get in the Blackhawk Chopper and want to insert their team of marines onto the ground. Which they never really have to team to do this cause they never wait for them to get in, But the whole teams just parachutes out, Yes YES even the Pilot and the gunner. and you can watch it smash right into a hill. Very realistic, just toss a Million dollar chopper down the toilet like what they are doing in Iraq right now. This really hurts the experience when you actually notice this. Then you have this squad based stuff that mentioned before the game was coming out. COMPLETELY USELESS. Not even close to what real squad would act like. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Well actually theres way to much ridiculous crap to get into with that. Maybe the Multiplayer might be fun if you can get to work. I've tried to make a online account but it just freezes when input the data for sign up. If your wondering if there is background story to this or campaign you won't really get much of anything there. Just the America is for some reason at war with China, oil? Who knows. The other force you fight might make sense if they explain who your actually fighting they don't seem like regular terrorists to me.There isn't campaign at all either, its exactly like Unreal Tournament. Not that many single player levels either more 4 less than 8 if i remember correctly. For lan same amount of levels just bigger sizes.... as your see so far EA games really wants to punish people who like to play by themselves. If your still deciding if you want to get it or not, the perfect description has come to mind. This is more like Battlefield 1942 except (better graphics) (better sound) (same AI system to the exact no real changes what so ever from 1942). They should hire somebody for that job. Instead of just replicating the same old crap from 1942 - Vietnam - This. I can't really say this game is worth buying or not. Depends if your interested in multi internet play or not. Multi might be worth it. I'll never know, but you might if your into that. For you into singleplayer stay away from this for little awhile until the price drops, I already got bored with this game but I don't regret getting it for what I paid for. In case you don't know there is demo out go and give that shot but nothing really changes after the demo, you just get choppers and planes and 2 more Tanks, and the Chinese as a an ememy
