Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I used to furrow my brow at the site of each new model of S-Class Mercedes, usually redone every 5 years or so.I can remember my father telling me that Mercedes designs cars to look good tomorrow, not today.He was right.With every model, like clockwork, after a year or so they'd start looking good, then great.My bet is Battlefield will be much like that.As truly fun as it is to play today, it'll be much better in a year or so.
Few quick reasons to love this game:
1.When you run it on a great machine the graphics/game physics are mindblowing.
2.The game encourages teamplay.I know, it's hard to imagine quake trained gamers playing medics, but over the past months since its release, the game is conditioning its players to team up.It's working, and it's really really fun to work with a good squad.
3.The game/network is very intelligent.Scarily intelligent.Everything you do on a ranked server is tracked forever.Everything.Gaining rank gets you new weapons and status you can leverage into a Commander position.
4.This game not only supports VOIP, but encourages it.Commanders can talk to squad leaders, squad leaders talk to their members, very good order.
5.Online play will frequently (i'm talking multiple times an hour) give you "one of those gaming moments".You know, when your pulse quickens, and you feel like you're really in the game.My girlfriend can hear me screaming from my downstairs (things that would make a pornstar blush).I'm not even cognizant of it.
6.Helicopters with TV guided rockets. Nuf said.
7.Command and control.If a side plays without a commander, odds are they'll lose.If one plays with few (if any) experienced squad leaders, they'll lose.Very cool and unique feature.
Reasons you might not want this game:
1.This is the most insane system-hog of a game I've ever encountered...very frustrating for even relatively good systems.
I've had high hopes for games of all genres over the past 2-3 years, I've reviewed many of them, some favorably, but I think BF2 is the best action First Person Shooter on the market (and probably will be for a few years).One reason for that belief is the extraordinary hardware requirements it demands to truly perform.I started playing it on a 3.3MHZ w/ best Geforce card, and 1Meg of RAM.It lumbered, and the graphics were subpar compared to other FPS's.I now have a freakin super-computer (dual cards, 4Megs RAM) and it runs like a different game.When hardware catches up, the underlying value of this game will get more appreciation vs. present-day frustration.
I've logged at least 70 hours on this game, and I learn something new every night.So many layers to uncover, then combine.I think this game still has allot to show people.And, like each redesigned model of Mercedes, will prove its true beauty over time.
Enjoy,
