BattleField 2, what a great game!
I have rejoined the first person shooter world recently by installing BattleField 2. An excellent game, narrowly missing out on greatness due to its lack of co-operative multiplayer (LAN party special).
You can't really complain though. Outstanding graphics, well designed maps, tight gameplay and the madness of 32 on 32 player action can't be beaten. If its a first person combat simulation you are after, this is it. You can do anything from being an assault trooper, to driving humvees to crushing infantry in tanks, to being a gunner in a helicopter! For the truly skilled you can even be a fighter pilot (its blardy hard to fly those jets around with keyboard and mouse I tell you!). The best and most additive feature of all though, especially for a hard core RPG'er like myself, is the global stats and score keeping. You can gain rank, get awards, medals, ribbons and badges! There's no where to hide either because everyone can view everyone else's record. Damn but I can't wait to make it to Sergeant!
Enough of the marketing spiel though, I've had some titanic battles already on the Internode, Xtra and GameArena servers. I'm mostly cannon fodder sadly (well AK fodder anyway), but I've managed to gain four of the basic badges available. Lmlucoz has also been promoted to Private First Class and is well on his way to Lance Corporal, woohoo! My stats are terrible of course, but I've always gloried in adversity.
Favourite maps are Wake Island (there always seems to be good battles here) and Strike on Karkand (intense firefights, no planes! haha).
Say hello if you see lmlucoz out there. I'll be that medic running suicidally across the road drawing fire :-)
