    The campaign is underrated I mean, not the gameplay necessarily. People definitely dog on this type of loud dumb military shooter but bfbc2 does it right. It’s as interesting for me to play as quake or half life, and I feel like people don’t see it that way. When you think of a random thing to do, and try to do it that thing actually happens. In call of duty you have to obey its rules at every turn. That type of shit still blows my mind cuz most modern military shooters, especially modern battlefield, have terrible linear campaigns with no room for skill or creativity.

Servers are still alive and well on all platforms & I revisit it often. I encourage others to as well.

    I just started re-playing both of these on Series X and they’re better than I remember. Great timing Gman!On a 16 channel Atmos setup using the DSU or Auro3D upmixer, it sounds exponentially better than the last time I played this during my 2nd year in the Army using a simple 2.1 setup. Your quote about sound design is spot on, I currently work with quite a few developers using the Dolby Atmos renderer to mix and properly place objects in the immersive sound field as opposed to legacy codecs which use channel based sound. It does require the user to have a minimum of 2 (in all reality 4 for the proper imaging of front to back and side to side overhead audio) but the difference when properly placed and calibrated is night and day compared to a conventional 5 or 7 channel bed layer setup or Soundbar. Atmos for headphones relies on HTRF (head tracking related function) which is far from being perfected and the results vary greatly in a similar way that there’s excellent examples of native Dolby Atmos and DTS:X soundtracks as well as sub par ones.

    They really towed the line on the T rating aswell. Tons of swearing (probably the only T rated game I've ever played where people regularly yelled "sh*t" and "b*tch") and extreme violence. I guarantee you the only thing that stopped it being M rated was the lack of blood.

    Man i missed Sarge and the boys, the banter the squad had in BF:BC2 was priceless. I used to slow play the hell out of missions just to see what they would talk about if you didnt rush through the missions. When Flynn was killed and went to the great bong in the sky i had to take a moment of silence and rip a fat bong rip for him. That game was the highest point in the Battlefield series in my opinion, it all started going down hill after that...

    I think Battlefield 2: Modern Combat's campaign is incredibly underrated. It's exactly what someone (like me) who played the series up to that point would expect a story-focused BF game to look like, with more emphasis on the factions and the war than on individual characters, and taking part in large-scale battles where you fight alongside dozens of friendly soldiers rather than just a couple of squad-mates.

    I love seeing reviews of this game. Back when proper demos were still a thing and oh boy, still listening to Milt Buckner - The Beast til this very day! I still look back at it with fond memories. Replayed the games last year, still loving it! I still remember completing the single player of BF:BC2 at the time. ''The war isn't over, they're coming through Alaska.'' and then I started the multiplayer and went directly into a match, I got parachuted into Nelson Bay. Felt like a direct continuation of the single player into multiplayer. Could have been just luck that I got Nelson Bay d: Still a great memory and experience!

I still have a photo from when I finally hit the esteemed level 50 with an uncle and cousin there to witness it. It really was one of a kind

    This game always reminded me of offline multiplayer in Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2. The big maps, the graphics, the bots, the respawning when you die instead of mission over, the old school modern-warfare military theme, and most importantly the ability to tackle mission in the way you see most fit. The multiplayer mode even had its own campaign. I also really miss bots and the rag doll effects that were in many 2000's games. Those were the days!

I still even remember some lines, 11 years later :') Not to mention the BC2 multi-player, which was PHENOMENAL for it's time. Broken in some aspects (like free base camping lmao) but the fun was definitely there. Also the maps were amazing, especially in Rush Man nostalgia really hit me now
