The Engineer can repair with his wrench, the Medic can revive with his defibrillator paddles and heal, the Support can resupply ammunition with his ammunition bags and the sniper can place claymores and engage long distance targets. Within the infantry class, there are four support classes with special abilities. Player classes are divided in 'Heavy' (with reduced damage done to the torso, but lower stamina) and 'Light' (with standard multipliers, but higher stamina, thus able to sprint for a longer time). Hence, an Assault soldier can become a Medic if they come across a fallen Medic. Players can also change their class by picking up a "kit" from the body of an incapacitated soldier, friendly or otherwise. Players are able to choose a class at the start of a match, or between dying and respawn. Assault soldiers, for example, are general-purpose infantry with grenade-launcher equipped assault-rifles and extra armor, Medics carry first-aid equipment such as a field defibrillator, and Anti-Tank troopers are equipped with missiles which are effective against heavy armor. Each class of soldier is equipped with different weaponry appropriate to their role in the battle. In Battlefield 2, as with previous Battlefield titles, players are able to select from a variety of infantry classes. Results from Cooperative mode do not count toward global player statistics. The only difference between the two modes is that Cooperative includes computer-controlled players, whilst Conquest allows only human players. A round ends when one team's tickets gone, the round's timer ends, or if at any point a team holds no control points, and has no soldiers alive on the battlefield (meaning they are not present in any way on the battlefield).īattlefield 2 's two game modes are Conquest and Cooperative. Control points are Battlefield 2 's spawn points, and one team possessing a significant majority of the control points causes the other teams tickets to gradually decrease, regardless of casualties. Control points represent key points on the map, and are represented by flags. Tickets represent an army's ability to reinforce their position on the battlefield each team has only a limited supply of tickets, and each casualty on the battlefield reduces the number of available tickets. The key objective in Battlefield 2 is to reduce the opposing teams tickets. In Battlefield 2, players are divided into two opposing teams (which factions they represent is dependent upon the map). These statistics are used to award promotions and other achievements. By playing the game on ranked servers, players are able to add to their global player statistics. Progress in the game is made via promotions which allow additional weapons to be unlocked. Additional factions are playable through the expansion packs, such as the European Union. Players can choose to play as the United States Marine Corps, the People's Liberation Army, or the "Middle Eastern Coalition". Single-player mode allows 16 computer-controlled players while Internet mode allows up to 64 players. Both player modes use the same maps and use Battlefield 's conquest game mode. A single-player mode with three difficulty levels is included. The new game engine includes improved physics, dynamic lighting, and more realistic material penetration.īattlefield 2 is a multiplayer game played via the Internet or on a local area network. Many of these new gameplay features were added to the game with teamwork and collaboration in mind. Battlefield 2 is a sequel to Battlefield Vietnam, with many changes to the popular gameplay of the original.
