Battlefield 2: Modern Combat was kinda cool back in the day, especially if you loved the PC Battlefield games. The console version obviously had some graphical cuts, but the big maps and "hot-swap" mechanic (letting you jump into any teammate) were really fun. The campaign was forgettable, and the online multiplayer scene died a long time ago, but honestly, it was a solid way to get your Battlefield fix on PS2 or Xbox at the time.
A surprisingly competent attempt at singleplayer for a studio that had never done such a thing before. The hotswapping mechanic delivers a wholly unique experience within the series' solo outing that actually play to the game's strengths rather than copying Call Of Duty's style.
Hotswapping-Was-The-Best. The voice lines were also so darn memorable. Was destined to remember them anyhow, because of all the times you have to replay a mission to get those STARS.
We've got a unit under heavy fire and trapped in the refinery!

With all the more recent excellent battlefield campaigns like Battlefield 1 and Bad Company 2, it's easy to forget that the first few battlefield games didn't even include a campaign. For whatever reason, they decided to change that with the release of Battlefield 2 Modern Combat, the first battlefield release on the 360. Based on the PC game battlefield 2, which was multipalyer only, the console version offers a fairly decent single player mode which is very similar to the multiplayer mode. This was a great decision as the multiplayer mode is what battlefield excels at. You are a nameless soldier in wave upon wave of others working together to capture bases and advance further behind enemy lines. It does feel clunky and a bit basic, but it's a real nice throwback to shooters of old and plays to the series strengths. Similarly to the excellent Call of Duty 2, your AI teammates are vital to your survival, and the war off attrition feeling to the game keeps your pushing to make it a little further each run. One of the best aspects of the campaign is the Hot-Swapping feature, which lets your warp between different soldiers at will and pick who you respawn as. This keeps the action constantly going and you can be tactical about who you pick to face the different challenges of each mission. Another funny quirk of the game is how much damage you take is related to how many enemies you can see on the screen. This means that in some cases the best tactic is to look at the floor and just run forward. It's stupid stuff like this that makes the game more enjoyable and it really works as a dumb fun throwback FPS. Surprisngly good and a definitely worth picking up for cheap.

Bem divertido e moderno pra sua época. Os controles são responsivos e funcionais, embora um pouco confusos no começo.
As missões são um pouco repetitivas, mas como o jogo é curto, não chega a enjoar.
O sistema de controlar qualquer soldado é excelente e funciona bem geralmente, apresenta alguns problemas mas que me parecem ser especialmente devido ao hardware que o jogo foi feito. Sem sombra de dúvidas, esse seria um game que se beneficiaria MUITO se tivesse saído uns bons anos mais tarde.
Outro ponto positivo que me chama atenção nesse BF2 é a IA. No geral, assim como em todos os jogos, ela apresenta sim seus defeitos. Porém são muito superáveis esses defeitos. A IA funciona muito bem, tanto dos inimigos e especialmente dos aliados, diferentemente dos BF mais modernos onde seus companheiros são literalmente inúteis e não matam um inimigo, aqui eles realmente estão na guerra com você e te ajudam no combate.
Enfim, é um bom jogo, vale a experiência.
