About

In Battlefield 2, players will choose to fight for one of three military superpowers: the United States, the Chinese, or the newly formed Middle East Coalition. Armed with the latest modern weaponry, players can take control of any of the game’s 30+ vehicles to engage in major conflicts with over 64 players in some of the largest online battles on the PC. Additionally, persistent character growth allows players to rise through the ranks and attain the ultimate rank of General.

What is happening now

Battlefield 2 is the 2005 PC shooter that established many conventions for the franchise's multiplayer-focused design. Nearly two decades later, the series is circling back to its roots - the upcoming Season 4 of Battlefield 6 will reintroduce a feature absent since Battlefield 2's era, alongside a Top Gun collaboration. A trailer for the new season dropped ahead of its July 21st launch, suggesting the developers are leaning into the franchise's legacy while moving forward with seasonal content and licensed crossovers.
