Analysis of Advertisement on Battlefield 2 - Article Example

With a high-powered older brother to live up to in Battlefield 1942, Battlefield 2 offers much of the same flexibility that made Battlefield 1942 such a success while delivering on the modern age it purports to represent in equipment, image quality, and more realistic responses.

One of the cool features involved in Battlefield 2 is the more realistic responses of the game. For instance, if you were to fire a rocket grenade launcher at a concrete wall, the new game engine and physics system would automatically compute whether this type of weapon would have the power necessary to penetrate the wall based on its composition. This adds a new dimension of difficulty to the game since it's now necessary for you to know whether what you’re hiding behind will protect you or if the tank that’s pointing in your direction will probably kill you as you huddle behind a sand bunker.

If you can survive long enough, your screen persona will grow through the ranks and can eventually become general, which is pretty cool and which unlocks new weapons and vehicles as you grow. However, the game follows the example of Battlefield 1942 in that it allows you to drive any vehicle available (there are at least 30 different types of military vehicles that can be selected and controlled by any player), so it isn’t completely like a real-life battlefield. Another cool feature of this game, though, is that you can decide whether you want to join a squad on the front lines or if you want to come in behind the scenes and work on the strategic deployment of the troops.

Soldier classes include Assault, Sniper, Special Ops, Combat Engineer, Medic, Heavy Weapons, and Anti-Tank units. All the latest in modern weaponry is available for your use and you can choose to play for the United States, the Chinese, or the Middle East Coalition. You can play with more than 64 players online at once and the battlefield adjusts to accommodate the number of players and vehicles involved, giving you plenty of room to move around. Battlefields range from barely populated dense forests to city streets, each one as destructible as the real thing.

Another cool feature of the game is that it allows you to place yourself right in the middle of the action for some of the more current war zones in the world. Soldier kits will affect the vehicles around you so that a medic kit can transform any vehicle into a mobile aid station and a support kit can make helicopters into flying ammo dumps.
