Battlefield 2 (BF2) takes place in modern times with American, Chinese, and Middle Eastern factions squaring off against each other on 12 different maps. Each of these maps is scalable, coming in 16, 32, and 64 player sizes, so you essentially have 36 different maps here. The maps provide a good variety of terrain that includes mountains, deserts, and river valleys and are populated with cities, villages, industrial complexes, and the requisite bases. It is evident that a lot of thought went into the maps’ design as they feature a well-balanced mix of chokepoints, open spaces, and back routes that make for battles with plenty of ebb and flow. This being a Battlefield game you can also expect to find numerous gun emplacements from machine gun nests to artillery, all of which you can hop into and take control of at any time.
