"Soldier classes in "Battlefield 2" include Sniper, Assault, Special Ops and Anti-Tank units, to name a few." LOOOOL!!! ...To name a Few...like there is 7 another classes to choose from....the only one missing in the engy...

Ugh, the puns and jokes that guy makes are downright horrible. The dictionary comment? The crowbar? Come ON.

"While it can take a while to choose a login name and password that haven't been used already, the online lobby sports a clean interface that supports stat tracking, chat rooms, buddy lists and the ability to create organized "clans" to take on other talented teams."

Is my copy of BF2 missing something?

I was thinking the exact same thing last night, he obviously based his article on the info at eagames website rather than actually trying those 'features'.

Yeah last time I looked radar stations were not taken out by airstrikes and I have never seen an F-16 in the game

and jeeps? what jeeps?

[CheetoDust]

are you kidding? there's no way a guy like this would ever play this game because they think that even by them just seeing it, their children will turn into blood-thursty murderers...

I would play good money to spit on Joe Liberman

under ground? uhhhhhh from being published by the biggest PC game publisher, being put into every big box store, also being a game totally centered around violence, and a crazy new graphics engine, It got all the elements of a popular game, and gamming has been mainstream for a while, remember Halo 2's launch? GTA hires movie actors for voice work, splinter cell 3 had alot of big names outside of the gamming industry come and do their various jobs. The only "underground" videogames would be independent ones. even ones we don't get here in north america, but are published by smaller asian and european publishers, are pretty much mainstream.

The days of people looking at you weird because you stayed up late playing doom are long gone, and my gosh, even girls play games now, some might be whipping your ass in BF2 right now (though they mostly seem to stick to MMOs, for now)
