Amazing. If I had to use one word to describe Battlefield 2, that would be the right word. Battlefield 2 consists of one bad side, and one good side, but since the good side is so good, you forget about the bad side all-together. The bad side of Battlefield 2 is the Single-Player, which is basically the multi-player, with not-so-intelligent bots. The good side of course, is the Multi-Player. Battlefield 2 ships out with 3 armies, a United States army, a Middle Eastern Army, and a Korean Army. Each army has you choose from a variety of weapon kits, including a Sniper kit, a Medic kit, an Assault Kit, and a few others common to the battlefield series. There is a good amount of maps, about 12. There is one game-type, but it does offer a variety of gameplay experiences. This one gametype is Conquest, which maps out a number of bases depending on the map size, which adjusts to the amount of players in your particular server, gives each team 1-3 bases, and there's a couple bases in the middle. Each team starts off with a number of " Tickets ". To reduce these tickets, control more bases, and kill more people. Whoever has more tickets when the time runs out, or whoever wipes out the other teams' tickets, wins.

Stunning, is the word I would use for graphics. Battlefield 2 brings some of the best graphics ever to appear on your monitor. It's pretty amazing how the graphics are so nice, and the details are so nice, that the levels can be so large, and so many people can be fighting in them. Explosions are realistic, and the blurry effect that goes on when artillary is dropping almost on top of you, makes the game so intense, that you almost forget your playing a video game, the experience is one of the most unique i've gotten from a shooter.

Battlefield 2 also lets you do almost everything you would have to do in a battle. There's a large variety of vehicles, the usual tanks, trucks, and boats, and also, Battlefield 2 brings other vehicles like Helicopters, Jets, and even small Buggys with turrets. There's also small things like a parachute, ladders on almost every building, and large cranes that overlook the entire map., that make Battlefield 2 such a fun experience.

There isn't much that's bad about Battlefield 2. Basically, Battlefield 2 is a demanding game. Unless you have a higher end Graphics Card, then you might not be getting the same experience as one with a high end card would. You'll need a minimum of 512 MB of RAM to even attempt to play it. I've played Battlefield 2 on a computer with a GeForce FX 5500 card, and 512 of RAM, which played it alright, but lighting and textures were dull and aa little unimpressive. I also played it on a computer with 1 GB of RAM, and a GeForce 6800 Ultra. The game played perfectly, and the graphics, lighting, and textures were beautiful. So if you have an alright PC, look forward to forking out a little more for maybe an updated Video Card, or some more RAM. There's also a lack of a buddy list in Battlefield, which makes playing with your friends a little more difficult than you would on Xbox Live.

The addition of an Expansion Pack, Battlefield 2:Special Forces, Battlefield 2 is easily one of the best Multi-Player shooters ever to hit the PC.
