One of my favorite Battlefield because it has offline mode. And i love the class system of this game. I wish to play this game again.

I am definitely heavily biased toward this game, since it was the first big multiplayer first-person shooter I owned myself. I remember that this game was a bit of a sensation when it released, since no game had really done a multiplayer tactical first-person shooter at this scale before, allowing up to 64 players on a single server at a time.

Idk what to say but this gameis so good in that time and its still good tbh its on my pc rn

A legendary game, the likes of which we'll likely never see again. Those were good times.

This game was incredibly good. Fun as hell. Didn't even need to rely on online clowns as bots were a thing here yet disappear after EA takes over until BF6. thankfully BF3 has bots now as well because of modders. not sure about bf4 but i'll have a look

Favorite game of all time. It redefined how multiplayer PC will be played in the coming decades.

Best Battlefield by far.

Considered an all-time classic, but not for me. Battlefield 2 is considered an all-time classic and a gem ****. Sadly, I cannot share this opinion. It certainly does have something to do with the fact that I was really bad at it, but even today, I still think this game is boring, unfair and the maps too big. Of course, I will back this up with arguments. It all started for me when I discovered that this is a multiplayer only game. I did not know any better back then and was expecting a campaign mode, like the Call of Duty games and the previous Battlefield games. It was not there, and while this was certainly my own fault, it still disappointed me. Graphically, this game looked, and still looks, amazing. The detail in the surroundings, buildings and vehicles is really nice, the sun and weather effects still make this game feel very realistic. The animations and walk cycles look great too and I only wished that I could experience this beautiful graphics in a campaign mode in the game back then. The sound is solid and bullet impacts and explosions sound amazing. It really feels like an all-out war and I cannot complain about the sound design whatsoever. The controls for moving, shooting and aiming work fine but I found the many different things and inventory screens a little confusing. It is certainly not as easy as Call of Duty in terms of understanding the controls and menus. The combat itself is far more realistic then Call of Duty and for this reason, aiming and killing your enemy is a lot harder in my opinion. When I accepted the fact that was multiplayer only, I got started and was ready to play some matches. Immediately, I felt miserable, and I hated every second of every match. This was because of two factors: Firstly, the maps in Battlefield 2 are massive. Not big, not huge, massive. It felt like an entire continent was placed in a single map. There is room for half the population of earth to fit into a single map of Battlefield 2. This all sounds fun and dandy, but when trying to reach an enemy point to capture or simply search for someone to shoot, it felt like walking through five marathons in a row before I saw something of interest. And when I saw something of interest, after walking a thousand miles, it was the bullet that landed between my eyes. I died, re-spawned and needed to walk to the end of the world and back again. Many times, an encounter with another player took ten minutes to reach and when it did, it was two seconds of fun and tension, before I bit the dust and needed to start over. Yes, I mentioned walking to every place. I am well aware of the many, many vehicles in the game that you can use to navigate easier and faster around the map. But now, we arrived at my personal vendetta number two: At the start of the game, all the vehicles are snatched away and take off in mere seconds, leaving me and some other unlucky noobs behind, forcing me to walk everywhere. It was really impressive and mind-blowingly ridiculous to see how incredible fast the vehicles are taken and blast away, leaving you to choke in the tire smoke and exhaust fumes. It really felt like Black Friday and when the countdown was over, it was every man for himself, trying to get some sweet wheels. No matter how hard I ran, how much I begged in the chat as a pathetic child to wait for me or give me a chance to ride along, it was always: “sorry bro, git gut”. My biggest challenge in the game, besides not dying or killing one single player in a match, was getting to a vehicle. I tried so, so hard but I never made it to one single APC or truck. This experience made me hate the game to a level that I cannot express in words. Like I said before, I **** really hard at the game and to call me a noob in Battlefield 2 would be an understatement. However, I just felt that I did not get a fair chance to learn or to get better at the game. The vehicle snatching, the endless walks, the insta-deaths from an unseen enemy five hundred miles away, the huge environments with nothing to do except dying made me really hate Battlefield 2. I despised the game, and this feeling has not changed to this day. So, based om my personal experience, I would not recommend this game.

The best game of my life. Spend so much time playing it. So fun and chalenging. I have found so many friends in this game so we became friends in real life. Hate EA so much for shut downing servers and community servers.

Funny Awesome Game Score 90 Full Action Game Full Action Game Funny Awesome Game

While this one doesn't even have a story, it's focused 100% on online.......

Мне игра очень понравилась, игра выглядит как будто она вышла в 2005 году! Графика очень хорошая, геймплей очень приятный, и игра выглядит круто, жаль в ней уже не огромный онлайн, радует то, что она хотя бы жива, я помню как веселился с игроками в ней, ещё я играл с начала на низких настроек, потому что я почти не знаю английский, потом в переводчике посмотрел, и узнал как максимум переводится, и я офигел, что такая хорошая графика! Лучше чем grand theft auto 5 на пк выглядит, в gta 5 вообще графика ужасная, battlefield 2 в 2 раза лучше графика, ещё в grand theft auto 5 выглядит как будто вышла в 2007 году, а battlefield 2 как будто в 2010 году вышла! Игра заслуживает хорошую оценку, рекомендую поиграть!

After the success of Battlefield 1942, the second edition saw a nice improvement in graphics! Undoubtedly, all BF marked the time and this one was no different.

This was a blast at LAN parties with friends and lots of NPCs driving and shooting around, causing mayhem. I had great time playing it.

One of the best Games of the Series and a true cornerstone to the Battlefield Franchise! Buy!

Nine year old me would rate it a 10, so i did the same.....................

I played the game long time ago, when I was still going to school (I am 25 now) and it was the first Battlefield game I have ever played and man, I loved the game. I didn't have internet back then so I played with bots but still the experience was amazing. Now when I think about the fact BF2 was released in 2o05 it blows my mind - the game was definitely ahead of its time. I am sure you still can boot it up and have plenty of fun with it.

Battlefield 2 is one of those rare games that only comes along every now and then. Some players may be put of by environments being smaller than those in previous entries to the series, but from the start of the mach until the score readout, Battlefield is one journey you don't want to miss.

Great refresh after bf1942. Was nice to have some updated guns and vehicles but was said no navy like bf1942

Best Battlefield all the time, this is a real game, not casual trash like the new ones!

my childhood game i played again and thats beatiful my first played fps game

good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good good

This is the second bf I played and I didn't had fun with it. Big and open map but it is just meh to me.

Best BF game ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! And My favourite battlefield game. this game is very playable in 2021. I prefer playing this game.

This is best battlefield gamer ever to many maps (you can download from extra more maps) very very beatiful expension packs and very nice gameplay

Disclaimer: the BF2 community is still alive on PC (usually 100-200 players online) as of 2020. See BF2Hub for more info if you're interesting in playing again. YMMV Singleplayer: since patch 1.5, the single player features twenty maps to play on against bots. By default, only the 16-player version of the maps are available but the 32 and 64 player variants are available via mods. The singleplayer is not representative of the multiplayer experience due to the simplistic AI. Multiplayer: LAN parties, ranked servers, and unranked servers are all available to players to choose from. The options provided to server owners are excellent and are becoming increasingly rarer in newer titles. Maps: BF2 featured 12 maps on launch, 4 post-launch maps added via patches, and 6 booster pack maps made free via patch 1.5. The map design in this game is probably the best in the entire franchise with all-time greats such as Gulf of Oman, Karkand, Sharqi, Wake Island 2007, Kubra Dam, and many others. They are very well balanced, provided opportunities for diverse playstyles, and facilitated a great flow to them. New features: Battlerecorder allowed players to download files that had individual matches, Commander facilitated more teamwork than 1942, the 7 class system had new features like reviving, sprinting was now present in the game. Mods: BF2 had a great modding community with one in particular, Project Reality, having a profound influence on future milsim titles. Forgotten Hope 2 was a WW2 mod for this game and is imo the best one available. Pitfalls: unfortunately not everything was great about BF2. 5 of 7 classes carried 4 frag grenades when caused grenade spam on most maps, claymores couldn't be easily disposed of and locked down chokepoints, servers were unstable and hitreg was unacceptable. Air-land balance was very poor as well because the mobile AA was a joke, TV missiles were one shot kills against all vehicles, twin seat bombers wasted everything beneath them. Overall, this game gets a 91/100. Although it had problems with bugs and crashes during the beginning of its lifespan, it went on to deliver one of the greatest multiplayer FPS experiences I've ever had and is a top 3 BF game.

Absolute masterpiece at the time of release. One of the best multiplayer games, where communication was the key. I remember to this day playing with one dude almost everyday, almost always in a chopper :)

Singleplayer carino dove usi aerei, elicotteri, carri armati e varia roba grafica buona per quel periodo niente male, tra l'altro c'è anche il medico che ti può curarti quando sei a terra. Multiplayer non lo mai provato dato che era morto da parecchio.

[SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.]

One of the best games in BF series. This game was the foundation of battlefield multiplayer.

The game is good. It has an unusual mechanic that was only in this series of games. The level of AI has increased.

All around great online shooter for low end PCs. Mod support and community-ran online systems keep it running well, even today. It has its fair share of age, though. Even with a good connection, there is the occasional lag or hitch.

В игре произошла революция в графическом плане. Текстуры подросли значительно после Вьетнама, игра стала куда интересней и реалистичней. Для своего времени топ, но и сейчас вполне играбельно и графика не сильно режет глаз. 9/10 пробовать стоит всем.

Best FPS of the past decade !!! BF2 at the time it was the most beautiful the best and the most fun DICE and EA GAMES got lost in time

Лучшая часть из частей на движке Refractor. Графика намного лучше. Итог: 8.748/10

Игра хороша. В ней есть не обычная механика которая была только в этой серии игр. Вырос уровень интеллекта у ботов. Стало больше карт и классов.

I have decided to give Battlefield 2 a go, after reading in various places that it is the best Battlefield title. Having played and enjoyed Battlefield 1942 when it came out, I was curious how its sequel holds up 13 years after its release. To my disappointment, I have found it to be a mediocre game by today’s standards. In my opinion, everything Battlefield 2 tried to achieve, is done better by another online shooter in 2018. Note that I am very fond of classic shooters and do not mind wearing my nostalgia goggles at all. Yet, I did not enjoy the time I have spent playing Battlefield 2. First and foremost, that horrid game presentation. The game menu has such a bad design and does a wonderful job making you lose the little excitement you have until you spawn. You choose a class which ranges from medic to engineer and the game encourages team play. The more you play the game, the better weapons you can unlock. In a way, Battlefield 2 is one of the early examples where the developers implemented grinding into online FPSs. It is true that you do not need better weapons to be able to kill your enemies, yet they do make a difference. Unfortunately, I did not spend enough time to find out how long you need to invest to get higher up the ranks, mainly due to some gameplay elements which I did not find enjoyable. Combat feels like a huge mess. From aircrafts consistently bombarding the map, to infantry throwing grenades to every possible square, the game made me feel overwhelmed with its imbalanced and chaotic design. Let’s not forget that you can literally throw grenades to very long distances and bunny hop the whole time while you are engaged in combat (provided you have stamina), the game was far from finding the sweet spot for me in an arcadey shooter. Last, but not the least, the shooting mechanics are quite poor and do not feel satisfying. There are, however, still some objectively good things about Battlefield 2, mainly the audio design and the open world feeling that does not feel dumbed down. Sound effects are very impressive and the native language voiceovers add a good amount of realism. Graphics are ahead of its time and the explosions look good. To give the game its due, Battlefield 2 is not a dull shooter trying to appeal to console gamers the way its sequels are. In its large map, you can immerse yourself and implement your own strategy to reach your goal. The maps also have a distinct and good design. To summarize, I did not love Battlefield 2, the way many others do. I know it is often regarded as the best Battlefield game ever made, which is probably not very far from the truth (although I prefer Battlefield 1942) considering how bad the modern Battlefield games are. I do get why the game can be charming for some players, but unfortunately it just did not click for me, as a new player in 2018.

Meu Battlefield favorito, bem melhor que aquela merda do Bad Company 2, o multiplayer do bf2 é incrivel

Battlefiled 1942 and 2 were a great games and i enjoyed playing them for a long time some things in battlefield 1942 were just great like both the teams having a aircraft carrier which they could take anywhere around the island map and many other fetures which are yet to be explored in the latest battlefield games. Going to battlefiled 2, well that game is a marvel, a could improve on player freedom but never the less a master piece.

Battlefield 2 is a classic. The vehicles, environments, classes, and weapons were spot-on. The loading themes for the factions are great. Sure there were expansions and booster packs for this game, but Vanilla still needed more maps, besides Kubra Dam and Mashtuur City.

Battlefield 2 is a true evolution from both 1942 and Vietnam. By bringing the Battlefield franchise to the 21st century, and adding heaps of new vehicles, weapons, and other war devices, Battlefield 2 ended up being one of the best multiplayer experiences of 2005. I am sure people are still online, playing this amazing game, and more power to them. However, like the other classic BF games, the graphics are very poor my modern standards, so be prepared for that.

This was one of the worst BF games, I decided to go back and play it again for old time sake and the game has aged poorly, now I noticed how inaccurate the rifles are; how useless the AI is. Capturing enemy outposts is often deadly due to insta-death rocket barrages which you can't dodge, evade or hide from...even if you're in a building apparently.. Honestly, Battlefield 1942 is twice the game this is, even now BF1942 still has good replayability. This game is a stinker, and judging by the reviews - paid reviews was a problem back in 2005.

In ten years, we'll look back on the closure of EA and the landmark events that caused it's inevitable collapse. One of the key extinction events took place in 2005 with the release of Battlefield 2 and EA's handling of the franchise from that moment onward. Battlefield 2 was a landmark event in the history of gaming and often discussed a decade later as "the best" of the franchise. Mind you, over a dozen Battlefield games have come out since 2 and yet it's still regarded as top-tier. It's fanbase was so rabid that even after the release of 4, EA continued to offer exclusive deals to the die-hard fans still playing 2 and refusing to "upgrade" to 3 or 4. When EA finally took the axe to 2's servers and filed cease orders to those running "unauthorized" hub servers for people to continue to play 2, the fanbase went and funded Squad, a spiritual sequel to Project Reality, a BF2 mod that proved to be hugely popular eight years well after launch. Battlefield 2 and the way it was handled by EA went on to make many enemies of both the publisher and the franchise itself, a lot of it's concepts where lifted straight from an earlier game - Planetside. Top-down commander view, orbital strikes, supply drops, drawing on the map and directing combat from a handheld computer all went on to be core aspects of 2. EA took it a step further by making an even more direct rip off of Planetside, Battlefield 2142, shamelessly lifting everything from the hover tank design to the giant walker mechs straight from it, prompting Sony to cut support for Planetside and focus on something EA wouldn't fight them for - Everquest. EA went on to release a million dlc packs for Battlefield 2, creating an uneven and outright difficult multiplayer environment where the servers would boot you if you didn't own things like "european armored combat 4" which wasn't available as a digital download, you had to go to the local PC World and buy a boxed copy of it for 30$ so that one tank skin the server was running would load. At the time, EA cited "bandwith costs" as the reason behind their refusal to allow for digital DLC, going so far as to buy "Direct-2-Drive" and create a borderline spyware application called EA Downloader. After a lawsuit, even this service was shut down and it wouldn't be until the disaster called Origin reared it's ugly head did digital downloads and dlc become accessible. By then, the juggernaut of Steam had risen to the top and sat comfortably atop it's golden gaben throne. When EA pulled it's games off Steam, some argue Battlefield 2 was hit hardest - It still had a healthy, active multiplayer scene, but to recruit your friends to play required them to run EA's junk while you played DRM-free on Steam without them. It was difficult to talk people through the complex patching methods, considering the original game was six disks and the expansions had to be installed after a clean-start of the original game. EA truly shot themselves in the foot and would continue to do so time after time, year after year, until it's final closure and liquidation in 2025.

A masterpiece. One of my favorite Games in all time. Sadly Dice/EA hasn't kept Offline singleplayer sessions with Bots what i would really appreciate. Still playing this Game in 2016 with in Fanmade multiplayer project.

El primer shooter que juegue en la vida y me entrada al mundo de accion, en ese entonces me fascino lo realista del juego, me viciaba horas jugando al mapa de la planta nuclear utilizando la clase de francotirador. Hermosos recuerdos.

Was a really nice game, i will miss it, but Battlefield 2142 was better. Still 2 good games!!! I played it a lot. It was really funny and cool, good all times is the best time

Many a good time was had playing this game back in the day. Every match played out differently. Maps were actually designed for 64 players - unlike the claustrophobic corridor shooter BF3 and BF4 maps. Commanders and squad leaders had an important role to play as did the many different classes. Helicopters could barrel roll and had a decent amount of agility. Grab 5 of your friends and spend the night yelling and screaming at each other with joy. Good times.

The best bf game to date fantastic maps,guns vehicles,spawns,team work and bla bla bla bla bla bla 10/10 i miss the old bf2 days soooo muchhhhhhhhhhhh
