A must have! Great! Brilliant!

BF2 is so much better than the first one - especially in the class department!

And worms, well..it's worms squared!

[Rott3]

I can't say much of Battlefield, because i can't run it properly, but for me, the Worms series went downhill since the coming of 3D. I remember when we used to play WWP on LAN for days. Good times, good times.

[Fineus]

Sorry but gameplay wise, BF2 is not a great deal better than the original.

Perhaps it's just personal preference, but in BF2 it seems like if you're stuck with a bad team then you're destined to get your ass kicked no matter what your skill level. I don't call that fun. They've tilted the balance far too much infavour of landslide victories.

I like BF2. Get two evenly matched teams, and that makes for great gameplay. Or even 1 good squad on a bad team. Good squads with decent leadership ftw.

Not to mention, BF2 is simply Gorgeous. In-built teamspeak is a plus. The only thing I don't like is the fact that you can pop a guy in the head with the MEC sniper rifle, and he can still keep on going.

[Tieowbeijas]

Yeah, the MEC and PLA sniper rifles are pretty much useless, crappy accuracy and damage is not compensated by a high rate of fire when it's a sniper rifle.
On the other hand, USMC assault and medic classes are somewhat bad in short range combat, the M16A2 doesn't just make for a good CQC-weapon.

Once you get the second Medic gun, the medic class rocks, though. In single fire mode, it can function as a mini-sniper rifle with decent accuracy and high fire rate. I have a hotkey programmed so that in single fire mode, it spews out 3 round shots with the single fire accuracy. Deadly.

And I actually like the M16A2's 3 round burst mode.

ROFL, I think I blew you away the other day of the GameCenter Server.

Personally, I love BF2. I am only at PFC, but I am on my way up. The only thing is I wish servers would shuffle players according to global score and rank. Would make things a little more fair.

As per the medics, they are a good way to gain points for promotion.

[Unknown Target]

I would check it out...but would it run on my P4 2.2 Ghz, 512 MB RAM, and Geforce 4 Ti4600 with 256 MB of RAM system?

[redmenace]

umm unfortunatly you need a direct x 9 card

[TrashMan]

I hate you...

anyway, Worms: Mayhem are supposedly far better than Worm3D. I haven't played it yet, but I heard people say it much moe fun.

[Falcon]

Battlefield 2 is a good game.

Wow that's a bunch of BS.
When are the next-gen cards coming out? If I'm going to buy a new one, I want it to last me awhile. (One and only one, none of that two-card foolishness).

[Liquid Fire]

You know, I've played the demo of worms 4 and it's magnitudes better than worms 3d. The graphics are better, there are a ton of customizing options, the weapons are more fun and creative, the camera no longer sucks, and the controls feel better.

I must agree that in BF2 teams quality has gained a far more greater factor when deciding the victor for the round (one reason could be the increased number of flags... hmm?). I mean in BF1942 (and DC) if you could hold one single flag for the entire round (like me and my friends usually did in Desert Shield ), the rest of team might be good enough to hold the second flag leaving only the third one for the other team if at all. Usually that brought us to the victory.

In BF2, if the rest of the team is not good enough to capture flags at all or hold the ones captured, one signle good squad is unlikely able to hold the team together.

No I don't mean that me and my friends are superior to the others , it's just that when we have/had our moments it's quite depressing to see the rest of the team screw up (in BF2).

Of course teamplay is what BF2 is for, but if the team sucks then there goes the play.

But still, I think BF2 prettymuch owns my gaming time for the time being

[IceFire]

Yeah...thats pretty much right.

Sometimes I can hold a flag all by myself.  Usually being a sniper in a very well hidden area or by being a spec ops guy and hiding and popping out at just the right time.

I like how stealth can be emphasized if you know what your doing.

I once managed to hide in some reids near a lake and sniped people for maybe 10 or 15 minutes before they found me.

Trouble is, the UAV / Radar and Arty strike can really ruin your day wherever you go.

Which brings up the other thing that annoys me. The way BF2 really does encourage perm-base-camping. In BF1942 there was no reason to enter an enemies main base unless it was for the flag in CTF mode. Now all the morons leap into a plane at the start of the match, fly over and bail into tanks in the enemies main. They then ignore the UAV, guns, radar installation etc. and sit there spawn raping people over and over.
