    Default On Xbox Live? Get latest OXM!

    It should be hitting the shelves now or relatively soon.

    It's got about three demos: Sid Meier's Pirates (boat combat...meh), Darkwatch (haven't played it yet) and the Live! only Battlefield 2: Modern Combat.

    Battlefield 2 rocks the Casbah and anyone who's remotely interested in military team combat should definitely check into it.

    The demo plops you in a desert and places you either at the "terrorist" encampment or the American camp (your choice). Now I haven't played around with the settings but the popular (or may be the only mode) is conquest where your team must occupy six flags that are between the two camps with most of the flags in a small city in the middle of the map. You choose your soldier type (assault, sniper, special forces, engineer, support..I may be forgetting one) and off you go. The map has vehicles littered intelligently throughout (jeeps, tanks, helicopters,cars, etc.) that anyone can hop in and drive. Most vehicles will allow others to hop on for the ride. The chopper even allows for parachuting (just make sure the pilot doesn't have the chopper tilted downward or you may jump into the blades). It's FPS, so everything is pretty much self explanatory except that 1)weapons are changed by holding the left trigger and using a stick to make a selection, 2)D Pad is for zooming in/out on the radar, activate/deactivate flag locations and map, 3)White button is to talk-only team members and those right by you can hear you speak.

    When I first started, yeah there were asshats that were grenading their own team mates and laughing but now as the game is getting into more hands there are some fairly serious gamers playing that leads to some great moments. With most of the flags in the city the chances for intense firefights are high.

    This has been a public service announcement

    Nope, it's 12 vs. 12 (max 24).

    @Richter: never played the PC version. I heard some things were complicated. Reading this I can only assume the Xbox version is easier. The only hitch I had was figuring out how to properly fly a helicopter. I'm still learning but there are some people who have piloting down to a T. It is really neat to see smooth flying from the ground...even if they are shooting at you .

    The only bug I've really encountered is the locking and that usually happens when there's a full 24 players going.

    Incredible demo, I already love this game more from one level than my beloved Ghost Recon series, and that's saying alot. I can't wait for the 360 in November. All this gameplay with next-gen graphics...I'll never leave the house this Winter between this and GR3.

    First of all, I don't know why you're getting these like a damn week before I am. I'm a freaking subscriber too. I guess their shipping pretty far away from Washington State. Anyways, killer demo, but check out page 54, an actual pic and info from George A. Romero's upcoming City of the Dead. Kick ass!

    Actually people should check out the PC version. I can guarantee it's miles better than the xbox version will be.

    For those whose PCs aren't up to snuff to properly run that game, check out the Xbox version. Not as many players but everyone is on the same page hardware wise as you. :P
