The game is awsome. It's loads of fun, online and off. If you have the money I highly recomend getting this game, like I said loads of fun and great graphics at the high setting.

The game is a little different in comparrison to other online shooters in respect to using the vehicles and getting use to the size of the maps. I am a Counter Strike Source (CSS) player myself and it is a COMPLETELY different playing style. Now that I have gotten better at using vehicles (mainly the helicopter) I almost prefer it over CSS. If you buy and do not like it for some reason give it time to grow on you. It worked for me. I love it.

I've never been able to get the program to run. Try to run it and the screen goes blank. Sent EA an email to cust. support and never got a reply. I will not buy anything else from EA.

Support please?

I decided to purchase the deluxe edition instead of 2142 because my friends still play BF2. Well, the original works fine. I don't think it's as good as Counter Strike, but it makes up for it being able to fly, drive and all that.

Anyways, the problem I have is updating. It will not update to the latest version. So my options on which servers I can play on are pretty limited. I've tried reinstalling, re-downloading the patch. Nothing in the KB has worked. EA won't give any further support on their game, I'm guessing because of the 2142 release. Which, even with the spyware, I'm kinda regretting not buying that instead. I just don't see this game being worth the money and effort.

I don't think I'll be purchasing many more games from EA unless I need a NFL licensed football game.

It is fun, but short. They need a richer environment that you can exlpore and play longer.

Incredible.

Grea game. I love the fact that you can have 64 people playing in one game. that means 32 people on 1 team. Thats unheard of. No other games i have played compare to this. But there is a price. You need a graphics card, atleast I recommend one. You will need to close every program in order to play this or else it will create lag like never before. Logging in for me takes around 2 minutes because I have not yet figured out how to turn the auto-server connect feature. Get this game if you are ready to enter a whole new dimension of online gaming. The gameplay is like you are actually there, it is truely amazing. You get ranked in the game, the higher the rank the more seniority you have over other players. Thats a good feeling. Get this game.

Excelente compra!! muy buen juego

Compre el juego original por el precio y la promocion de tener la expansion del special forces que se juega mucho online.

El unico detalle que no me gusto son los 5 cds de instalacion, pero bueno eso es una vez y no mas.

Irritating, inferior "run - die - respawn" game

Coming from years of playing games like Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, TFC, the Dark Forces series etc., I was compelled to give this game a try because of the vehicles and squad tactics aspects of the game.

The game is hard to classify as a "game" because it seems about 80% or better of your time is spent running or driving only to be killed by an unseen artillery or air attack. Some of the problems with this game are part mechanics, part gameplay, and part are the behavior of most people who play it. Some problems are:

It takes forever to ID someone as friendly or an enemy. I've had times where I've trained my cursor on someone for 3-4 seconds without getting a red or blue indicator of side...only to be shot from behind while I'm impatiently figuring out if I can shoot without getting a teamkill.

The game is often dominated by those who get to the planes and helicopters first. The rest of the players are all just target practice on the ground, making it a "run, die, respawn" cycle for everyone else. And there are people who will hop in a tank, jeep, chopper, etc. and take off with no one on board, leaving everyone else to either go on foot or wait for the vehicles that left to get destroyed and respawn.

Game is (somewhat) choppy, expecially compared to similar hi-res, fast action games. I have a fairly new & beefy Alienware computer that eats up Doom 3 and Source games like nobody's business.

Camping or "baseraping". The enemy sits on your spawn point and continually bombards or shoots you the split second you spawn. I've seen this in other games of course, but here it seems to be much, much more common. The ability to wipe out entires waves of spawners with airstrikes or artillery makes it more seductive for people, I suppose.

The only fun map I played was Gulf of Oman which, not coincidentally, is the map you play when you download the BF2 demo. If I could have contented myself with that, I would have saved myself some money.

The sniper is weak. It's good that they nerfed it to avoid the one-shot cheapness of other games, like the AWP in Counter-Strike for instance, but it is SO weak it takes more shots to kill someone with a .50 than it does with a sidearm.

Incredibly slow loading times between games.

Nit-picky point here, but you can't use mousewheel to scroll through servers.

As far as the Special Forces add-in which makes this the "Deluxe Addition", you get hooks and jetskis. Whoopee!

So, I payed $40 for 2 days worth of pointless gameplay. Doesn't look like I can get much for it on eBay so this baby is headed straight for the garbage chute. My advice: download the demo and play it for free, because in that case the price is right.

Great Game!! Perfect for Team Tactics
