Just remembered, not the best game to rent as you'll only be able to play 3 maps. Which is the downfall of the game. Great game play, awesome vehicles, terrible DLC. Who makes a base game with only 3 original maps?

They included a DLC code with new purchases to curb used sales. If you buy it new, you get all of the maps besides Vietnam, which was a mediocre spinoff expansion pack with different stuff.

You might be able to check the rental case for a DLC code, but I'm guessing that by now others have used it.

able to rent BF2, about to try it out, sucks I can only play with 3 maps, would like to play a game or 2 with you guys, but know that can be a pain to play with someone who cant utilize all of the maps

I don't think it's a huge deal really..the rounds tend to last awhile (unless one team is really good/really awful) and generally with rush you switch roles on the same map..so you are playing on the same map twice in a row anyway...meaning you've got 6 rounds to cycle through the 3 maps which is a hefty chunk of gameplay.

My gamertag is tOSU Buckeye 10, might not be the most entertaining person to play with since I'm sitting waiting for my mic to get here but usually on most nights at some point

The gun upgrades definitely help, but the game is all about teamwork. I'd recommend picking up some kits you see laying on the ground after people die, just to play around with their weapons. Or beg Gomer to use his profile :lol:

Unlike COD which can be dominated by 1 person or a small posse, it's crucial to provide aggressive support from all classes or you will get worked.

This.

And I would play, but I'm absolutely burnt out on Xbox games right now. FIFA is the only game I can tolerate and I usually only play 2 or 3, and I'm off anyways. (Depending on how bad I'm getting worked. :lol:)

Free to download on XBL for the next week.

Still the best fps on the 360 by a mile. A brilliant mixture of realism, skill, arcade fun and teamwork. Seeing as dice has no plans to make another one thus far and the bf series is a crippled server, ptsd replicating cod wannabe, I highly recommend grabbing this while it is briefly available.

I still play it regularly.
