It combines fast-paced gameplay with good amounts of strategy in an urban setting. ![]() Strike at Karkand, for instance, is an excellent map. Some environments are better than others in terms of gameplay, while a few simply look cool. Maps aren't as diverse as I would have liked them to be but are still pretty well thought-out. Twelve different locations make Battlefield's battlefields. Each of these areas also comes with a small description about the purpose of the map, which helps explain things a bit. Most of the battle locations seem to center around oil fields, refineries or dams, which makes a kind of sense given the conflicts. Battlefield 2 is set in the near future, where plausible conflicts between the US and both China and the Middle East Coalition (a fictional faction) flare up. ![]() Any game that can make a large group of editors take a Saturday and play for 14 hours straight until 4:30 in the morning has to be pretty awesome. ![]() After playing for quite a few hours (often shirking other responsibilities), I and pretty much everyone else here at IGN will heartily recommend BF2 to fans of the series and beg those who haven't played before or didn't like the original to give the demo a whirl.
