Battlefield 2. Battlefield 2 is an exciting first person shooter game that offers players plenty of military action. The game takes place on a modern battlefield and players have to use role playing and strategy to defeat their enemies. There are many more challenges that the original game and players are sure to have fun working out the perfect plan to take out enemies and putting it into effect. In the single player mode, gamers will play alongside a team of 16 characters that are controlled by the computer. Each of these characters has been well developed and come complete with their own personality traits as well as skills and weaknesses. Even the dialogue is dramatised with the effect that players feel like they are right in the heart of the action. Gamers can choose to play as either the United States Marine Corps, the Middle Eastern Coalition or the People’s Liberation Army. These teams are much more than simple copies of each other and the team that you choose to play as will determine the types of missions that you have to complete, the weapons at your disposal and many other things. This allows gamers who are hooked on the action and excitement of Battlefield 2 to enjoy the game for even longer, as they can change to a new team and start all over whenever they choose. Players progress through the game through a series of promotions, which are granted for completing set missions and displaying special skills. Each time that players are promoted they will be given access to new weapons, allowing them to be bigger and badder than ever. No matter what team you play on, the basic objective of the game is the same. Players have to reduce the tickets of the opposing team. These tickets represent the ability of an army to reinforce their battlefield position and once the tickets have been significantly reduced the army will be very vulnerable. Each of the teams has a limited amount of tickets at their disposal and every time they receive a casualty the number of tickets they have will be reduced dramatically. Gamers also fight for control points, which represent the key points on the map. The team who possess the largest amount of control points will ultimately win the game, as they will force the other team into weaker and weaker positions until they are wiped out. The multiplayer mode gives Battlefield 2 a whole new dimension. Teams of players are rewarded for working together and the missions that they are set are more challenging and engaging. While there is plenty to do, unfortunately it can be difficult to keep track of your teammates, which makes working together and planning strategies much more difficult. Some of the controls are difficult to use and the helicopters in particular feel awkward and cumbersome. Some of the elements of the game can take a long time to load and waiting for them takes the edge off the action a little. Battlefield 2 takes all of the best features from the original game and adds a series of great touches that players are sure to love. Despite a few minor setbacks, this is being hailed as one of the best games military action games around and there is plenty here to love. Play Battlefield 2. Yes.

  • Bf2hub Rules of Engagement (ROE) for Ranked Servers
    BF2Hub Systems (www.bf2hub.com) RULES OF ENGAGEMENT (ROE) Last update March 2015 RANKED SERVERS - AN OVERVIEW The ranked server program and ranking system for Battlefield 2 was introduced by DICE and EA and is continued by BF2Hub. It is designed to promote a system of statistics gathering and rewards for players on a level playing field in which players can expect the same standard configuration and playing environment on any ranked server they play on. These standards are achieved and maintained by ensuring that all server providers and server administrators are abiding by a common set of rules as determined by BF2Hub. 1. RULES AND POLICIES FOR TRUSTED PARTNERS / SERVER HOST PROVIDERS BF2Hub is limiting trusted server software distribution to our network of Trusted Partners in order to protect the integrity of the code system. We want everyone to be able to play Ranked Servers if they choose. It is imperative that all of these Rules and Policies be adhered to in order to create a level playing field for everyone. 1.1 Server Configuration 1.1.1 Ranked Servers have a number of settings hard-coded so that users cannot adjust them. These settings are all set as below to keep the competition on Ranked servers balanced across all providers: minPlayers: 16+ (minimum server size is 16 players) sv.password = “” (empty string - Ranked servers may not be password protected. Ranked servers are intended to be available to all players.) sv.numPlayersNeededToStart = (6 for 16-31 maxPlayers, 8 for 32-64) sv.spawnTime 15 sv.manDownTime 15 sv.ticketRatio 100 sv.teamRatioPercent 100 sv.punkBuster 1 1.2 Server Content 1.2.1 Ranked servers must be entirely "pure" with no customization outside of the default content shipped by DICE/EA or BF2Hub.

Any latter publication shall recognise FORUM as the original publisher. In Arcadia: Landscape filming in a toxic wasteland Game engine affordances and post-game narratives Abstract This paper discusses the production of artists work using existing videogame engines. It considers transgressive negotiations and engagements within the simulated gameworld that differ from the usual type of engagements that affect a nominal gamer. It considers the affordances that a game engine has in effecting creative practice and how these affordances can be discussed as post-game narratives. It uses anecdotal descriptions of these negotiations as a review of practice, whilst producing video grabs from within 'S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl'. This was towards a collaborative artwork with audio artist Angus Carlyle. It later describes the nature of post-game narratives as documents of intentioned performative activity and practice and as an engaging method for reflection on such practice.

    Gamespace Plaay & Architecture in Videoogames Georgia Leigh McGregor Doctor of Philosophy School of Media Arts, University of New South Wales 2009 ii Abstract Videogames are created for play. In videogames play takes place in an artificially constructed environment – in gamespace. Gameplay occurs in gamespace. To understand videogames, it is essential to understand how their spaces are implicated in play. This thesis asks what are the relationships between play and space in videogames? This thesis examines the relationships between space and play by looking at how architecture is constructed in gamespace and by looking at gamespace as an architectonic construct. In short, this thesis examines the architecture in and of gamespace. The relationships between space and play in videogames are examined by looking at the structure of gamespace, by looking at the differences between real space and gamespace and by analysing architectural and spatial functionality. This thesis discovers a series of important relationships between space and play, arguing that gamespace is used to create, manipulate and control gameplay, while gameplay dictates and influences the construction of gamespace. Particular forms of play call for particular constructions of gamespace. Particular types of gamespace construct play in particular ways. This thesis identifies a number of ways in which gamespace is configured for play. Finally this thesis operates as a conceptual framework for understanding gamespace and architecture in videogames. iii Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements
