Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (PlayStation 2, 2005)

Reviewer's age: 27

Engage in online combat with up to 24 players online! It has conquest maps and capture the flag. It is slightly modern, but nothing futuristic. You will find yourself in a world where you can free-roam anywhere. It has vehicles like hummers, tanks, and choppers. Several vehicles can hold multiple people. Hide in buildings, parachute from ledges, swim in the rivers, or crouch in a trench. Pick a character class from assualt, sniping, engineer, etc. Hear all the action on the headset if you have one, or shout orders to your team-mates. Make friends, or join clans. When you die, you simply respawn back at any base that your team currently holds. This game also has a built in voting system for the players to vote people out. This is good if you get a team killer. The better that you get with the game, the higher rank you will achieve. You must achieve so many points per hour, and medals to advance ranks. This game has the option for rank restriction. This way if you choose a rank resticted map you can play with people like yourself. ie. a Master Seargant wont have to play with 3 star generals, nor a noob. This game has so much potential.

This game is the best money I have ever spent for the PS2. This game is great with a headset and logitech wireless controller. My review for this game is a purely online multiplayer experience, I don't play single player offline games. The graphics are good for PS2. They look even better on the PS3 because of the upscaling.

This game is fairly easy once you learn the controls. You will soon find it easier after you learn all of the maps. Most people play Backstab and Bridge too Far. Those you will need to learn first, because they're called the noob maps.

What would I like to see in the future for this game? I'd like to see the game able to splitscreen and take 2 players online. You can currently only take one player per PS2 online. I'd like to see these online games have some sort of update and support. Why can't they get on their server and change a few things from time to time for us? Like oneday host a new map online, or change a few items. I feel these games need to be able to evolve online. I'd like to see a map where you control ships. Like one ship has 2-3 flags, if your team gets them all, then you can control the ship to manuever, etc.
