Ok ok ok, ive had enough of this... Most of the <5 star reviews on Amazon for BF2 vanilla, SF etc are because people have had some sort of problem either installing it or running it or learning to play it. It seems to me that their reviews are not based on gameplay or experience in-game, rather a manifestation of their frustration because this game deserves nothing less than 5 stars.Simply put, BF2 and its addons are the best online FPS around despite being over 2 years old. The fact that so many people still play a game that is 2 years old, and the fact that it STILL looks great and feels cutting edge speak volumes. No other game I have played comes close to the intense total immersion adreneline rush I get whilst playing BF2 -it is simply fab.I have experienced so many "wow" moments playing this that I carry with me cherished memories of battles that I enjoy reliving in my head in moments of boredom.But now to address some of the whinges and moans people have...1: "BF2 is buggy and full of glitches"- BF2 has had its fair share of bugs that is true. EA have come under a lot of criticism from the community for their support. There have been numerous glitches & exploits that players have used. However, the latest patch 1.4 has resolved a lot of those and in my opinion considering this game is FREE (no £8.99 a month subs like WoW) it is pretty damn good.2: "BF2 runs crap on my machine"- BF2 runs fine on mine! OK, ive got a good system (2.8GB Dual Core Intel, 2 x Nvidia 1950GTX SLI graphics, 2GB ram) which does help. But simple housekeeping like keeping your PC clean, up to date, de-fragged etc makes a huge difference as well. PC's aren't consoles. They need looking after and some money spending on them - but its worth the investment3: "It's too hard and I keep getting killed by players who MUST be cheating"- The learning curve for BF2 is steep, no doubt about it. I died over and over and over again for the first year i guess. Then you start to learn the game, improve and soon you are revelling in your ability to face the best of the opposition. As for the cheating, I think there is far far less cheating in BF2 than some other games. In fact I cant honestly say ive faced a player who is DEFINATELY cheating in over 600hrs of time played.4: "Stats recording ruins the game"- WRONG. Stats recording MAKES this game. Websites such as [...] allow you to track your stats, and your improvements, awards & unlocks etc. The stats in my opinion separate this game from other FPS games and put it in a different league. For those who dont like stats try Unranked servers or one of the many Mods (Project Reality, PoE2 etc).5: "The online BF2 community is childish & arrogant"- again I disagree. All online communities have their fair share of idiots, just try reading the chat channels in WoW for a few hours and you will see what I mean. generally BF2 is populated by people who want to work together, have fun, and make friends. 90% of players are willing to help new players, give advice and so on.OH YEAH, nearly forgot. BF2 Special Forces is the place I chose for this review because it is in my opinion the BEST addon to the BEST FPS there is..So my message to all the complainers - Look after your PC, learn to play and appreciate the precious gift from DICE/EA that is this fabulous, fabulous game.

For the Battlefield 2 faithful the original maps are probably getting a bit dull now and the gameplay probably is too. Special forces provides a handful of new maps, new weapons and a few extra tools to help you get around, such as the zip line and the grappling hook. The add-on also brings with it a couple of new forces such as the SAS and their associated apparel.Installation is easy as it finds the existing BF2 directory and installs directly into it, but it insists on patching your BF2 installation to 1.1. A year ago this would have been fine, but we're on 1.4 now so you're going to have to re-patch the game. Just to complicate things, it ceases to acknowledge the incremental patches that you install.

This expansion pack adds lots of extras and gameplay oppurtunities when playing with your mates. The extras obviously add special forces componants to your arsenal with a variety of new maps and much more.New weapons consist of zip lines, grappling hooks, tear gas and more and vehicles include desert raiders, ATVs and even jet skis. Also new special forces teams are added that include the SAS, Navy SEALS and even rebels and insurgents.This new tactical gameplay also opens up new ways to kill enemies and reach objectives. Use night vision goggles to see your enemies in dark passagewayd or zipline from a cliff down to your next objective without the enemy haveing a clue that your there.Pros+ New

This expansion adds a reasonable amount of content including new maps, new factions, new weapons etc. Special Forces games tend to be a lot more strategy based than normal BF2 games and the introduction of a completely new set of unlocks is a very welcome addition.Players should be warned however that if they have updated their BF2 to v1.5 before installing this, you must uninstall BF2, reinstall it, then install Special Forces and THEN patch to v1.5. Otherwise you may find that you cannot join Special Forces games on account of your 'modified content'. This is a silly error on the devs' part, I know, but it is very easily fixed.I have given this game 4 stars due to the fact that, whilst it is good fun,

Already bieng a massive fan of the original BF2 i bought this , its a great add on to the game features new maps,vechiles and weapons , after youve installed the game you also get 3 new unlocks in original bf2.However upon installing i came across a problem which ive found out is not uncommon , after installing i was presented with an error message which told me fies from the 'shaders' folder were missing.To get around this problem you have to reinstall the latest patch for BF2 at the present time which for me was v1.3 , so as you can guess i wasnt too happy with having to re-download a near 500mb file.So it was alls well and ends well but it had to be the long way.

My Friend got this game, and graphics are sweet!gameplay is exciting cos there are so many methods you can use to do the game,multiplayer mode awesome, hard to get used to.all sorts of vehicles you use to get from A to B.Very exciting, really it is a must if you want a deeperfirst person shooter game!i mean come on! how many games do you get where you can be infantry, then fly a jet or a helicopter and cruise around eliminating the enemy.By the way, my advice is to read the manual first if you can, i found it was a nightmare trying to work out to fly a helicopter.i really haven't got a bad thing to say about this game, that says it all.

As I don't own an internet connection, you would think this game was boring for me, wrong. This game makes many improvements to the original battlefield 2 game. With new tools, guns and armies not including 6 awesome single player maps. I would suggest buying this game anyway even if your computer is not able to play on-line, if you've got an internet connection even better!

The new maps are poor and do not live up to the BF2 standards! The night maps are in some tricky ground: you have to use the nightvision goggles to spot the enemies, but thats tricky too: the nightvision is EXTREMELY green, pixelated, with lots of photographic noise. Why didnt the developers make NVG look and feel like the Splinter Cell games nightvision? Thats beyond me.

This game is really great but there is only one problem i find with it, an that is the lack of servers, there are hardly any but usually enough to geta good game going apart from that its classic Battlefield action.

overall a quite good game. i did have some problems instaling the expansion but once this is done the game runs quite smoothly. when you get it make sure you download and install patch 1.12.
