I was talking to a friend at work the other day about games and we talked about Battlefield 2 for a bit and for how long we played the game for. I knew that I had played for aroud 500 hours, but I wanted to check out what my stats really were. Hello BF2s for the first time in years.
Demos are wonderful things, they give us a glimpse into what a game is like and, in turn, whether the game is worth purchasing or not. I used to live on demos in the olden days, they were my link to the gaming world. There have been some demos which stand out above the rest, they may have introduced me to a game series, a new genre or were the entrance to what would be one of my favourite games of all time. These are some of the demos which stick out in my mind, and always will.
If you couldn’t tell from my piece earlier this week I think Battlefield 2 is an awesome game, the news that Battlefield 3 is in the works is great. Hit the jump for a proper Battlefield 2 retrospective.
I love Battlefield 2, I think it is one of the best games out there. I have always wanted to write about it here on The Reticule, I have probably had two or three different drafts of articles about the game hidden away here. This time is different.
