That I have seen anyway: http://pc.gamespy.com/pc/battlefield-2/626911p1.html

5/5 stars
Pros: Great maps with well-balanced vehicles and weapons. Rewarding teamplay. Great team organization tools. Full stats tracking.

Cons: Very limited single-player with poor AI. No bots in multiplayer. Steep video card requirements.

Hahaha I can't believe they even bother to list "very limited single-player" as a con for a BF game, that's pretty much a given!

Whoever at EA or dice decided that it would be a good idea to remove coop from multiplay should be hung :dead:

I suspect they'll eventually put it in, but on the other hand, the bots are pretty lame, most people I know only played them when you were really desparate.

I would have to agree with Archamus. *sigh* Still looking for a good Ghost Recon COOP replacement.

But BF doesn't play anything like that kind of coop game. Maybe if you took out respawning, made the weapons a bit more lethal and made AI that played very specific scripts for the levels you could have that.

I agree it'd be nice to have a more modern version of the GR style coop play, but it's pointless to look for that in a Battlefield series game. That's like buying a Rainbow Six game for Unreal Tournament style deathmatch action.

From my experience with the bots, they are better than previous incarnations. They at least TRY this time.
