Finally got the BF2 demo through a 3rd party and played for about an hour last night.  The commander mode seems to be off, but I played a few SP matches and a MP match before turning in. My initial thoughts:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Graphics are very nice. I haven't even tweaked my settings yet or updated my drivers. Definitely cutting edge AFAICT. They say the game demands a lot of memory but fortunately I have 2GB, so I didn't see any lag whatsoever. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I only tinkered a bit with the squad mode, but this seems to have a lot of potential. I like the tactical options of the squad leader being a roving spawn point, and the VoiP within squads is promising for clan play (don't know how it'll pan out on the pubs). </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Most people don't bother with SP for this kind of game, but the AI appeared to be decent. At the low level the bad guys pretty much just ran into my gun, but they seemed to be working in squads, and if I killed 1-2 the third often got me.  And I was impressed by the ally AI; in one case my humvee driver edged slowly toward an enemy spawn point, letting me cover with my .50 cal, and in another a medic followed me to the front and revived me when the enemy picked me off. </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">I only tried the sniper once, but I noticed what others had: very stable scope. Hope this doesn't make the sniper rifle the BF2 n00b-cannon. </li> </ul>I'll offer some more comments after I've chewed this thing over for a week. Until then, going back in...</blockquote>
