BF2 is still the best. A wonderful blend of action and strategy that will keep you and your friends immersed.

User Rating: 9.6 | Battlefield 2 PC
I just wanted to enter this review to point out that there has been no improvement over Battlefield 2 in the multiplayer tactical shooter genre. Other games, including Bad Company, have improved in some areas, but Battlefield 2 is still the best. I really like Bad Company, and I enjoy the graphics and destructible environments, but it lacks strategy and it nerfs some of the player skills. For instance in BF2, you have to manually spot incoming enemy forces and in Bad Company, it just does it for you. If you see an enemy, it reports it to everyone else. In BC you can't choose what squad to join, but in BF2, you have total control over your squad and picking objectives. You and five friends can enter a game of up to 64 players and feel as though you have a major impact on the overall battle, and you can take pride in your effectiveness through multiple benchmarks. It's really a lot of fun, and I await a game that combines the destructible environments and graphical improvements of Bad Company with the serious tactical/team play sandbox of Battlefield 2.
