Battlefield II Description

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat makes its way onto Xbox 360 with next-generation graphics that will have you diving for cover when you see that enemy tank heading in your direction. There are all-new maps - 16 including three Xbox Live maps - taking you to such wonderful wartorn places as the Middle East, Wake Island and Northern China. The all-out action in Modern Combat escalates to such a degree that has never been seen before in any of the previous games in the series. The game also features all-new vehicles, including snowmobiles and minigun-equipped vans, meaning there are various ways to eliminate your enemies. There is also new equipment available, including thermal vision for the sniper rifle and more powerful mortar strikes. For fans of the series, Battlefield 2: Modern Combat stays faithful to the franchise's trademark multiplayer action on Xbox Live. Up to 24 gamers can enjoy online battles. You have the choice of fighting for one of four sides (the European Union, the US, the Chinese or the new Middle East Coalition) armed to the teeth with the most destructive weaponry known to modern man, and with complete control of over 30 different types of vehicle.

i have played the demo online and i think this is one of the best 1st person games to come to the 360, i have played battlefront 2 on pc and loved the concept that you can also control vehicles

Having owned the game now for a month and a half I feel it is time to write a review. I love this game. But before I begin to go into my reasoning for loving the game I must first state that if you have no access to xbox live then your going to be very disappointed and I would evn say that it's not worth playing at all. The game online however comes into its element with upto 16 players online you must do battle with opposing teams. There are 5 types of soldier however all seem pritty equal but are better at certain thing and have a different set of weapons. The game has many vehicals and are used to its advantage especially when you get a tallented pilot in the cockpit of a helicopter. I short the game is amazing while only being a xboxgame with a lick of next generation paint takes nothing away from it, play it now.

I've owned this game for a good few months now and I have to say it is fantastic! The online is where it really shines, I have to admit that the EA servers do put it to shame at times but the gameplay definately makes up for any hiccups! There are countless machines to take control of, including helicopters, tanks, buggies, jeeps, boats and quite a few more. With up to 24 players in a single battle the action is certainly intense! If you find a nice group of friends you'll find your self staying up all night blasting at each other! Even though the online is what this game is built on there is also a hefty action packed single player mode with countless amounts of missions and challenges that will keep you busy for at least a month! If you love your online FPS' then you'd be better off buying this game, because once your addicted you won't be leaving any time soon. However, if you like to try games first a quick rental is highly reccomended! An outstanding game from EA and DICE that deserves every bit of 5 stars!!!

Battlefield for the Xbox 360 is a must for anyone who has never had the pleasure of playing it before now, as for everyone who has experienced it on the Xbox or PS2, well you should get it anyways. Yes the fifty quid price tag is extortionate but then again if you do a bit of searching online you can find it for a steal at around thirty quid. The game is a thing of beauty once you take it online, you will find yourself losing all sense of time and the only thing that will be on your mind is the screams of your enemies as they get mown down by your assault rifle. This game not only offers you great visuals and a flawless online game, but you will also find yourself using tactics like flanking enemy tanks and dropping from helicopters to gain a foot hold while playing online. The campaign mode is pretty dull, but the only reason why you need to buy this game is for Xbox Live?simple as!

Sorry guys,i must disagree,this fall into the same trap as Ghost recon,that is,overcomplicating things,i like to immerse myself in a game,without being bogged down with too much going on,this game is good,but needed to be stripped away of some of its complexity,there really is no need for each button to do 3 or 4 different things,online it is good,but i think you will all prefer COD2.

Alright I would say- worth renting but NOT buying. I bought this game from another source- I made a mistake. I played it for about a week over Xbox Live and I thought it was amazing. Then It all rolled in. Seven times out of ten you may be kicked for your rank, which I also found with TCRSV. Also the maps are far too big for slow pcs which I don't have although I think it is unfair for others who get a 360 for xmas but it then doesn't work. It makes me feel really guilty for the parents who spend mega bucks to get one of these just to find that it doesn't work. Its as annoying as Osama Bin Laden. I know because my friend has this problem. Another problem- MAKE IT DIFFERENT TO THE XBOX 1 VERSION. You might aswell pay the cheaper price.

Yer i have to agree with the bottem one ive played the entire game for a while before and even though i have live i dont think its that good. This would be due to even though its 20 players in the game, you still have to walk for a good 5 minutes before you find a fight. The maps are way to big and are no good for those with internet speeds of 1mb or slower becuase you wont find it easy to find full games or big ones and not have lag. The single player is alright but the AI (artificial intelligence) is excacly the same as the xbox. So the guys on your side will run away from the objective in certain cases when needed. run into open fire when on low life etc. Even when you se the hot swapping feature in the game(switching between people on your side) and you move somebody to a safe position. They will automaticly move back into danger again. The only improvement in this game is the Graphics and slight improvments with physics. It would have been nice to see an improved AI, Splitscreen multiplayer on xboxlive and off and more destructible objects e.g. buildings, towers and so on. insted of just barrels and the accational box/create. Plus side to all of this is it is farely fun and can be pritty intense at times. I guess its worth a rent but i wouldnt put your hopes up for absolute carnage and all out warfare. I know its battle field but it isnt really carnage is what id describe it i would just describe this as a ghost recon FPS on a larger scale.
