I'll start playing it again when my computer can run it.
It was okay from what I played of it. Only problem is that it takes 10 minutes to load the game, 5 minutes to log onto the multiplayer section and a further 10 minutes to load a map. Only then does it take a mere 3 minutes of lag until you can play.

No naval combat, only one game mode, rather buggy hit detection, craptacular server browser, shoddy favorites system...
BF1942 with DesertCombat mod is 150% better than base BF2. There's just MORE in DC, and it works BETTER (which is pathetic, if you think about it...the big bad sequel can't do what a MOD can). I haven't tried Special Forces yet...and don't intend to until the price goes WAY down.
Not worth the full $50. Maybe $30 or so. The patches have fixed some issues...but most remain. The game plays as if it were still in testing.

I'm a bit put off by that as well- not so much because I can't use the guns as because the last patch installed all the files for the guns into base BF2. Basically, EA forced all BF2 players to download content which they can't use in order to keep playing the game. The only reason for a decision like that is to force players to buy the expansion- because if they don't, those files will just sit there doing nothing but taking up space. That's one of the reasons why I'm not going to buy SF for a while...I don't feel like rewarding EA for being assholes.

It sucks.
I only play it when I really got nothing alse to do.
You keep getting spawn killed in city maps, many of the weapons are unbalanced(mainly unlocks), shit engine and many bugs.
Those are some of the worse parts of the game IMO.

yeah, everyone seems obsessed with the karkand map, but I think its one of the worst maps in the whole game, because 9 times out of 10 your dead before you can even load your weapon 
The best maps are the more open ones, such as Dalian Plant
|
Everyone plays Karkand because it's easy to get badges and medals on it. It's a small map to begin with, and half of it is often not played on anyway, shrinking the battlefield to a single 4-block area.
It's a problem sometimes, people just want to get kills with this or that weapon or kit so they can get a badge, instead of capturing a flag. I don't think a single award has a requirement of certain amount of flag captures/assists.
It's a fun game though, because of the awards you always have something interesting and different to do. It's also quite pretty. Sure, you need a decent PC though. Loading a map takes about 30-60 seconds from my desktop, but laptop takes some 2-3 mins which is quite a bit too long.
There's a hole in the sky through which things can fly.

BF2 choppers are pure, utter crap. They cannot rotate very well on the Z-axis, can tilt no more than a few degrees off-level forward or backward before losing altitude (even at full throttle)- yet, they can bank more than 80 degrees before losing altitude. They 'naturally' return to level if the controls are released, and will hover with no control input whatsoever. You can slam them down hard at full reverse power and take absolutely no damage when landing.
The chopper physics in BF2 are ass compared to Desert Combat. Go ahead, compare the two- the DC machines are far more responsive and realistic (they are harder to maintain control of, handle more believably, and are touchier on landings).
The planes handle better, though. Afterburners and flares were a nice touch. However, the choppers need LOTS of work.

I played the demo. I didn't try the choppers but the gameplay was good. I like the game a lot better when playing with friends than randoms. I played the demo at college in a LAN and it was a lot of fun, but people kept camping at the plane spawn instead of getting other vehicles.
I set up the demo on my home computer and joined a random server. Grabbed a soldier, got killed, killed someone then got killed twice from seemingly nowhere. Then just thought 'fuck it' and left.
It's definitely worth a buy if you're thinking of setting up or joining a server with friends. I feel that some games are less fun to play with random people than other games, and this is one of them.

I do like this game, yet the bugs sometimes bother me as well. I never played the other Battlefields.
| quote by: Homey |
I like everything about it except that people who bought the expansion can use guns that I can't access against me.
|
And if you want to try out the unlocks, kill the person who has them and take their stuff after they die Homey.
Meh I just enjoy piloting a Jet. 
|
I do that but most of the time I just stick to the gun in my hands. All of the newer guns i've used are amazing. I think the medic one is a big improvement over the other unlock.
