I agree, the option for a different mode like Wolfenstein would be nice. Nobody would force people to play it, but variety is the spice of life. Gamespy's review mentioned how it can get frustrating when a lone wolf drops behind the lines and steals a point in the back. It takes away from the intense front line fighting and forces someone to have an uneventful ride to the back to kill one person.
I'm not complaining though because it's fun to be that lone wolf, but it'd be nice to have an option where you have to daisy chain your way through the points. Just to change things up from time to time.
I also was disappointed to hear about the lack of bots for LAN. I know, I know everyone hates bots, but that shouldn't mean I have to as well. I guess that's the best part of PC games, MODS, MODS, MODS.

Good review, maybe a little bit off on the ratings compared to other games but then again jade empire deserved a 9.9 on the xbox whixh does not have much to compare it to (other then KOTOR), same with GTA:SA on PS2. Battlefield has to fight every other PC online game (HL2,CS:S,JO:TR,BF1942,SW:B). I dont think it excells that much over all the other games (I know it is great fun I play the demo all the time).
I think he was right on the average menus. They arent exactly novice friendly or nice to look at. TOO MANY TABS! The commander option is basic. The music is average. The punishment system is lacking. There is no singleplayer, bots in LAN or variety of game modes. Also a lack of friends or favourite server option (like CS:S) and yes the graphics are good but not "out of this world" especially for the very steep system requirements (much higher then doom3 or HL2) especially for the ammount of time this game came out compared to D3 and HL2.
There you have it I agree battlefield is great but with improvements it could have been greater.

Bah... what really irks me about the game is that the performance leaves a LOT to be desired.
Even turning down the graphics a lot the game still runs shoddily, not to mention that it actually ends up looking far WORSE than it's predecessors.
The game is fun, this however, might actually sway my pruchase by quite a bit. I simply do not enjoy playing a game that looks and performs like that.
*hopes for better performance in the full release*

I've only seen the game through screenshots, I don't meet the insane system requirements for BF2.
Looks like EA is just trying to make money off Desert Combat, and the graphics aren't that spectacular (even though the game is large scale battles). Same general interface too, I think.

Why can't Gamespot and IGN just agree on a score so everyone knows where the game is worth buying for a change? It always really annoys me where one gives the other a higher score or a lower score.
With that said i wish Greg Kasavin reviewed the game
or Jeff Gerstmann They're always right on the money for me

Amazing. IGN didn't overrate something. GS didn't underrate something.
