Battlefield 2 IGN Review

[Brian_OS]

8.5 Presentation
The menu system isn't the best I've ever seen, but it's backed up by an amazing amount of stat tracking.

8.5 Graphics
When all the details are turned up, Battlefield 2 look great but unless you have a state of the art machine, that probably won't be the case.

9.0 Sound
I've been very pleased with the overall sound in Battlefield 2. I wish that the old theme song was still in there as an option, but voices, weapons fire, vehicles, and explosions are all excellent.

8.5 Gameplay
Teamwork features, commander mode, and exquisitely balanced kits make BF2 a great game. There are some issues that need to be resolved and maps could be more diverse.

9.5 Lasting Appeal
Oh boy... loved ones of the editors here at IGN are going to have to say goodbye to quality time. All of that is going to be given to this game.
8.9 OVERALL
(out of 10 / not an average)



8.9 is a LOW score as far as I'm concerned ! THis game kicks much Azz..

8.9 is really low.

I was expecting 9.3-9.5.

Oh well, its not like I will be getting it either way...

Re: Battlefield 2 IGN Review

I guess it is sort of low, but the demo is sick!

So, I'll be getting it Tuesday. EB has PC games, right? I've only looked for console games at EB.

Re: Battlefield 2 IGN Review

don't look very appealing after READING the review. More like a 7.6-8.1 when you take off the "IGN tilt".

Re: Battlefield 2 IGN Review

Gamespot gives it a 9.3

'The best thing that we can say about Battlefield 2 is that even when it's at its worst, it can still be as much fun as its illustrious predecessors. However, when you experience Battlefield 2 like it's meant to be played, with everyone working together and using real-time voice chat, the game quickly becomes unlike anything else that you've played before. When it's at its best, Battlefield 2 elevates online gaming to whole new heights. Put simply, this is a thrilling and revolutionary game that just has to be played to be believed. "


I COULD NOT AGREE MORE WITH THIS REVIEW.. The game is Awesome!

Would a Geforce 6600 GT card handle this game or should I upgrade to the 6800 GT???

[SportsorDeath]

Re: Battlefield 2 IGN Review

I don't think I would do it. The 6800 GT will give you better performance, but not enough to warrant spending that much, imo. You are better off just saving the money and waiting for the next gen cards to come out. It won't be long.

EDIT: Sweet. My Fed Ex guy just showed up with my copy. I wasn't expecting to get it until tomorrow. Ahhhh, 6 more hours to wait til I get home and can play it.

Now I'm jealous!!!!!!

FYI- What card are you running BF2 on?

[SportsorDeath]

Re: Battlefield 2 IGN Review

Actually, I am running it on an ATI All in Wonder 9600 that I bought a few months ago when I decided to transfer all my video tapes to DVD. It isn't the best for gaming, but it ran the BF 2 demo pretty well, surprisingly. I have most of the video settings at medium, with a couple on high, and the frame rate is good enough for me. It could move at a brisker pace and with more detail, but I am not gonna go shell out 300 or more on another new card when I just got this one.

Re: Battlefield 2 IGN Review

so any idea why EA pushed back the date a day? Tuesday is usually money for releases so this is kinda weird.

[SportsorDeath]

Re: Battlefield 2 IGN Review

They didn't push anything back. Today is the ship date, meaning most stores will have it for sale tomorrow. Same as always.

I ordered my copy yesterday morning from ebgames.com, and got it around 11 this morning, which means it shipped from eb yesterday afternoon/evening. I bet there are stores who either have it already or will have it available this evening. I doubt eb is the only place to have had it ship out yesterday.
