 - It's Well Worth The PriceThis is one of the best FPS games I've played. The graphics are good, and the enviroments are cool. They also provide a good range of weapons and vehicles, some creating very fun possibilities. (As a medic, you can kill enemies by zapping them with your shock paddles) It also provides a good challenge, without being impossible. I've only ever played single player, too, and I here it's much better online. My only complaint is that there isn't a campaign. I understand it isn't that kind of game, but it still would have made it funner. Rating: - Good time waster!I've wasted a lot of time with this game, but had a lot of fun too! Get the DVD version though as the CD version has 3 CDs to install, and well, that's just old hat these days ;) Rating:  - Not for the casual gamerIf you are a casual gamer like me who is only looking to spend a hour per day playing a game, Battlefield 2 is definitely not for you. As a previous reviewer said, on paper, this game sounds fantastic, but in reality, playing this game will make you want to pull out your hair in frustration. The game play has a very high learning curve, as you try in vain to learn the numerous elements of the game that you must master before successfully engaging in battle. These include learning to shoot with guns that are somewhat erratic and imprecise in comparison to other pure first person shooter games, and learning to fire missiles by factoring in the time it takes to hit a fast moving object. Yes, it's all quite a bit to take in the beginning, and it stays that way well into your first week with this game. Unless you commit numerous hours (read 1000s) towards playing this game, you will stay a perennial "noob", and will constantly be taken down by your more experienced opponents in every painful manner imaginable. And speaking of opponents, a lot of these players will likely have invested enormous amount of time and effort into getting as good as they are. Their figures are reflected in game statistics that can only be described as superfluous in the amount of worthless numbers they contain. If you are an expert gamer who enjoys pouring 1000s of hours into a game that has no relevance outside it's virtual enclosure, and like to obsess about stats that are equally meaningless, then you might enjoy it. For me, however, a week of maddening game play was more than enough to uninstall it and throw it back into the closet. Rating:  - Husband LOVES This Game....Bought this for my husband (avid Battlefield 1942/Call of Duty/Medal of Honor multiplayer). He LOVES this one. The graphics are amazing and it supports VOIP. Battlefiled 1942 fans will not be disappointed. There are medals and awards and your progress is tracked. All of your kills and deaths, even the weapon you're best served by. Rating: - Don't bother if you want a single player campaign modeMaybe this is an excellent multi-player online game, I don't know, but I bought it for what I thought was a single player campaign mode. Well, as far as I can tell there is none. You can play around seven or ten battlefields capturing enemy flags, but one has nothing to do with the other. I must be missing out on the graphics too, although I have an Athlon 64 X2 5600+, 2GB Ram, XFX 8600GT 512MB. Go figure. To sum up, if you want single player action, stay away.
