MMORPG - Battlefield 2

(Wiki) Battlefield 2 (BF2) is one of THE most massively played games online today. In a way, it's very much like an MMORPG because the entire premise of the game is based on teamwork. If you don't work together, you and your team can lose the battle in a matter of minutes. This is what sets BF2 apart from most MMORPG (Wiki) First-Person shooter (FPS) games in that it combines several genres/devices together (tactics, real-time strategies, FPS, RPG) into one game.

You also have communication abilities - either text type or through a microphone inserted in your sound card. You can talk with other players and work together throughout the game.

The world of BF2 is a bit complex to explain to people who normally don't play games such as this. You're also not limited to one character, you can be a: Medic, Engineer, Special Forces, Sniper, Assault, Supplyman, etc. The more you play, the more you can build your soldier and give him new weapons. You're also "ranked" and other players can see how high your score and position is.

One of the overall goals of the game is to either hold all the spawn/territory points or defeat the opposing team's army. When I play, I usually play a Medic and help out my squad. So, goals/objectives/responsibilities in the game vary from soldier to soldier. There are many maps/worlds to choose from.



At your disposal is an array of weapons and vehicles (jets, helicoptors, tanks, boats, etc) you can use to lead your team into battle. You can also choose to be a field commander and order artillery strikes, monitor troop movement with radar, supply troops with air drops, vehicle drops, talk with squad leaders, and give out various orders and tactics. The opposing team can also work together to raid your Command Post and destroy your radar systems and artillery.

In other words, you're not just an Army of One, but an Army of Many...players. It's one of the most current and realistic games massively played today. But don't take my word for it.

I've been playing BF2 off and on and it's one of the better FPS games out there. What I like most about it is that there's no subscription fee to play online and the game is constantly upgraded and monitored to ensure cheaters and hacks don't ruin the game experience for all.

It just so happens the game's narrative is centered on real warfare instead of some made up fantasy world. Then again, reality never does make much sense to begin with.
