| + | ===Overview=== |
||
| − | Like its PC counterpart, Modern Combat pits the [[China|People's Republic of China]] and the [[Middle Eastern Coalition]] against the [[European Union]] and the [[United States]]. In Modern Combat, there are 5 classes to choose from. These classes are the following: [[Engineer]], [[Special Ops]], [[Assault]], [[Sniper]], and [[Support]]. The Engineer class has a shotgun, a rocket launcher, a pistol, and a [[Blowtorch]] to fix vehicles. The Spec Ops class has a scoped sub-machine gun, a suppressed pistol, [[Flashbang|Flashbang grenades]], a [[Knife]], and [[C4]]. The Assault class has a scoped assault rifle with an undermounted grenade launcher, a pistol, [[Hand Grenade]]s, and [[Smoke Grenade]]s. The Sniper class has a bolt-action sniper rifle, a suppressed pistol, a [[GPS]] (this points out where any hostile individual target is hiding at, and is best used if they are taking cover), smoke grenades, and a [[Laser Designator]]. The Support Class has a light machine gun, a pistol, an [[Auto Injector]] (heals comrades or yourself), hand grenades, and a [[Mortar Strike]] designator. In addition, there are numerous vehicles to use on land, in the air (Helicopters only), and on the water (River Patrol Boats) |
||
| + | ''Battlefield 2: Modern Combat'' pits the [[China|People's Republic of China]] and [[NATO]] in a fictional conflict. In ''Modern Combat'', there are five classes to choose from: [[Engineer]], [[Special Ops]], [[Assault]], [[Sniper]], and [[Support]]. In addition, there are numerous vehicles to use on land, in the air (Helicopters only), and on the water (River Patrol Boats) |
||
| − | + | The game also allows players to [[Hot-swap|switch bodies]] with other comrades in order to get to or complete an objective relatively quickly. |
|
| − | ==Plot== |
||
| − | The Game begins with News Broadcasts from both [[NATO]] and [[China]], reporting on escalating hostility between the two in the nation of [[wikipedia:Kazakhstan|Kazakhstan]]. The center of this hostility is a city near the Kazak capital of [[wikipedia:Almaty|Almaty]]. The player first begins as a member of a NATO force in the area, rescuing a unit under heavy fire at an oil refinery in the city, crashing hostile communication uplinks in the city, and finally guarding a school where a Negotiator will arrive from Snipers. When the Negotiator arrives, an Attack helicopter with unknown markings arrives and blows the Negotiator up. NATO and China blame each other for the incident, pushing the hostility up to a full-scale war in the country. |
||
| + | ===Plot=== |
||
| − | The player's perspective then switches to that of a Chinese soldier. In response to their losses in the city, the Chinese launch a counter-offensive on the [[wikipedia:Caspian Sea|Caspian sea]] Coast. Since NATO is apparently veteran to maritime operations, the Chinese strike at several critical targets, including the destruction of 3 Fast attack submarines, and the assault on an Oil rig, and an Island. Finally, NATO sends a ship loaded with High Explosives disguised as a Civilian cargo ship to destroy these targets. However, the Chinese destroy the ship before it reaches its targets, foiling the plan. |
||
| + | The conflict starts with the [[PLA]] moving into Almaty, Kazakhstan, while [[NATO]] forces attempt to remove them from the area. NATO, PLA, and [[MEC]] diplomats negotiate in an abandoned school guarded by both NATO and PLA snipers. However, the NATO diplomat is assassinated by an unmarked [[Mi-24 Hind]] that both NATO and China believe to be the other side's, spreading the conflict from the [[Wikipedia:Almaty Province|Almaty Region]] to the Mangystau region. What follows is a series of battles between NATO and the PLA as well as the use of air propaganda to make the other side look "evil". |

||
| − | NATO propaganda blames the Chinese of destroying a civilian cargo ship (the same one with explosives) out of unprovoked aggression, marking the player's perspective switch from China back to NATO. While NATO was occupied on the Caspian coast, the Chinese managed to secure the entire city. NATO launches a counter-offensive within the city, managing to reclaim a crucial Heliport, gain Recon data via Helicopter, destroy a Chinese Armored Brigade holding a Hill, and finally, destroy a bridge the Chinese were using to send reinforcements into the city. |
||
| + | It is then revealed near the end of the campaign that [[Commander 31]], a leader of an organization called [[The Burning Flag]], bent on world domination, was the one to instigate the war and also was the one who sent the Mi-24 Hind to assassinate the NATO peace diplomat. Commander 31 reveals to the world his plans to send three missiles at either the US and Europe, or at China and the Middle East. |
||
| − | Chinese propaganda blames NATO for destroying the bridge which was "The people's only escape route". The player's perspective switches back to China, where the player is once more back on the Caspian coast. The player first launches a waterborne assault on a NATO held hill, as the Hill provides a critical overwatch position, and then destroys the only complete Oil Refinery in Kazakhstan, because NATO was using it to fuel their operations in the area. |
||
| + | The player parachutes into the remote Burning Flag hideout, deactivates two of the missiles and laser target designates the control tower Commander 31 had locked himself into. The player is then hailed as a hero who made NATO's or the PLA's (depending on which side the player chose to take) victory possible. |
||
| − | The viewpoint switches one more time to NATO, who has now launched operations in Central Kazakhstan. First, the player recons the area by Humvee, liberating several nearby towns on the way. Then, a Special Ops team is sent to kill a Chinese regional commander who has been hindering NATO operations in that area. The Spec Ops team finally manages to kill him as he attempts to escape by helicopter. |
||
| + | {{Characters/BF2MC}} |
||
| − | The viewpoint switches one last time to the Chinese, who are also operating in the area. First, the player launches assaults on the towns NATO previously liberated, providing the Chinese a strong hold of the area. In retaliation, NATO launches a heavy armed assault on a local trainyard under Chinese control. After repelling the assault, NATO forces retreat from the area. NATO then resorts to packing a train full of explosives, hoping to blow the trainyard up. The Chinese foil this too, and the train is derailed right before it hits the trainyard. |
||
| + | ===Weapon Upgrades=== |
||
| − | At this point, the player is given a choice of what faction to play as. If the player chooses NATO, then NATO launches the last mission of the war. The commander of all Chinese operations in Kazakhstan, Lieutenant Colonel [[Yuanhang Zhu|Zhu]], is stationed in the Chinese regional headquarters, not far away from NATO's regional headquarters. NATO launches a heavy assault on Zhu's position, and as Zhu tries to fly away in a helicopter, the helicopter is shot down, killing Zhu. If the player chose China, then China launches the last mission of the war. Lieutenant Colonel [[Scott]], the commander of all NATO operations in Kazakhstan, is stationed in the NATO regional headquarters, not far away from the Chinese regional headquarters. The Chinese launch a heavy assault on the Scott's position, and as Scott tries flying away in a helicopter, the Chinese shoot down the helicopter, killing Scott. |
||
| + | The player can upgrade their weapons by gaining stars. For example, if the player has a total of 266 stars, the Light Machine Gun used by the [[Support (Kit)|Support Kit]] will get an armor-piercing bullet upgrade. |
||
| + | ===Challenges=== |
||
| − | No matter which faction the player chose, at this point, the faction's news agency receives a message from a terrorist group called [[The Burning Flag]], with their leader, a man only known as [[Commander 31]], stating that the helicopter that killed the Negotiator was theirs, so that the war was practically set up by them, and that they intend on World Domination by launching 3 Nuclear missiles at the Player's country. They will do this from a remote Kazak Nuclear Silo complex under their control. The player then leads a heavy and frantic assault to disengage the missiles before they launch. The player manages to disengage 2 missiles before heading to Commander 31's silo. The player realizes that the control room which is crucial to disengaging the 3rd missile is the same one Commander 31 has locked himself in. Frantically, a sniper some distance away marks the control room with an airstrike, killing Commander 31 and disengaging the 3rd missile. |
||
| + | [[Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Challenges|Challenges]] include weapon training, hot-swap time trials, and race challenges with in-game vehicles. Challenges are completed by obtaining certain amount of score before time runs out, with a maximum of three stars able to be awarded. |
||
| + | ===Field Tasks=== |
||
| − | At this point, the player can play the other faction's version of the game's end, because the game is now complete. |
||
| + | [[Field Tasks]] are search and destroy tasks scattered throughout the campaign, all of which are listed in the "Field Tasks" menu. After all of a specific object have been destroyed on a level, stars will be award towards the next rank. |
||
| − | ===Ranking=== |
||
| − | The campaign in ''Battlefield 2: Modern Combat'' features a ranking system quite similar to the multiplayer ranking system. The player can increase their rank by earning stars and medals, the latter being [[Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Achievements|achievements]] on the Xbox 360 version of the game. To earn a star, a player must have an exemplary performance at the end of the mission. There are a total of 266 stars to collect in all, and there are four categories in which a player may earn stars and a single category in which a player may ''lose'' stars at the end of a singleplayer mission. These are: |
||
| − | *'''Score''' - The amount of points the player earned from kills, completing mission objectives, destroying vehicles, etc. |
||
| − | *'''Time''' - How fast the player completed the mission. |
||
| − | *'''Style/Weapon Use''' - The amount of [[hot-swap]]ping the player did in the mission. |
||
| − | *'''Accuracy''' - How many bullets hit enemies versus missed enemies by the player throughout the mission. |
||
| − | *'''Losses*''' - How many allied A.I. died during the mission. |
||
| − | :'''* Note:''' This category is the one in which players can '''lose''' stars, rather then gain them. |

||
| − | To get up to higher ranks, the player must not only acquire stars, but they must gain medals as well. Medals are non-mission specific and can be earned in any level possible in the campaign. These medals include killing a certain amount of enemies in succession with a specific kit or vehicle class, killing enemies with explosives, or doing a kit-specific task like healing allies or repairing vehicles. |
||
| − | ====Weapon Upgrades==== |
||
| − | The player can upgrade their weapons by gaining stars. For example, if the player has a total of 266 stars, the Light Machine Gun used by the [[Support (Kit)|Support Kit]] will get an armor-piercing bullet upgrade. Upgrades such as this help the player a lot in the campaign, especially in gaining more medals. |
||
| − | ====Challenges==== |
||
| − | Challenges include weapon training, hot-swap time trials, and race challenges with the in-game vehicles. The player has to get a certain amount of score to complete the challenge before time runs out. The player can get a maximum of three stars by completing a challenge with the highest score. The challenges are good practice for the player to master the vehicles and weapons featured in the game. |
||
| − | ====Field Tasks==== |
||
| − | The field tasks are search and destroy tasks scattered throughout the campaign. The player needs to find objects listed in the "Field Tasks" menu. After the player has destroyed, for example, all of the water towers on a level, the player will get a star towards their next rank. Most of the objects the player has to destroy are hidden around the outskirts of the map, but it is recommended that field tasks are done after completing the campaign. The easiest field task objectives to find are aerials, road signs, billboards, statues, sea mines and buoys. This feature, however, was removed from the Xbox 360 version. |

The multiplayer is different from the singleplayer in that things such as controls, weapons, sounds and movement speed have been changed from singleplayer to balance gameplay. Sometimes, when the game is near a conclusion or the game hasn't proceeded almost at all and the timer reaches zero, the game will not end. |
||
| + | {{Main|Battlefield 2: Modern Combat Ranks}}Modern Combat features a ranking system for both the singleplayer and multiplayer aspects of the game. There is a separate total of twenty ranks for each mode, with rank progression obtained by being awarded stars and [[medals]] through gameplay. [[Ribbons]] are also awarded through gameplay but do not count toward new ranks. |
||
| + | ===Classes=== |
||
| − | For a teamkill, the player loses a point, if the teamkilling persists the player loses more and more points until 24+ points is lost, when 24+ points is lost, the player gets kicked from the match. The player will get kicked even if the player does not go over -23. The game automatically saves the amount of negative score got in a match. If the player has for example, 30 points and started teamkilling, the player would still get kicked by going lower than 7 points. |

||
| + | Modern Combat contain 5 unique classes, each with their own area of combat. Classes only differ in weapons and gadgets based on the player's faction or team. |
||
| − | There are ranks and medals in the multiplayer online mode as well. The player starts off as a Private like in the campaign mode, and goes up in rank by gaining medals, score and Points Per Hour (PPH). |
||
| + | *'''[[Assault]]''' - Specializes at medium to close range engagements, featuring assault rifles and explosives used for conventional warfare. |
||
| − | As of April 15, 2010, Microsoft has closed online support for original Xbox titles and ''Battlefield 2: Modern Combat'' can no longer be played online. However, the PS2 servers are still functional. |
||
| + | *'''[[Sniper]]''' - Specializes at long-range engagements, featuring bolt-action rifles as well as a laser designator to target enemy vehicles. It also features smoke grenades and a motion sensor. |
||
| − | There is also no more official support of EA and Gamespy. Since September 2009, EA ended their support for the game and they shut down their security servers, which made a player unable to open more than one Gamespy account for the game. A player needs a Gamespy account to run the game as the serial number can only be activated through Gamespy. Because of problems relating to Gamespy's servers EA shut them down. Because of this Gamespy is no longer able to activate any serial numbers as they were no longer responsible for the multiplayer online game feature, so Gamespy decided that they would let the game continue running, but no new serials can be activated and accounts be created on Gamespy. |
||
| + | *'''[[Special Ops]]''' - Specializes at sabotages, featuring light equipment to allow for quicker movements as well as submachine guns for medium to long range engagements. The kit also features stun grenades and [[C4]]. |
||
| − | Although Microsoft, Electronic Arts, and Gamespy dropped support of the game, Clan stats, and messages can still be broadcasted, making it a beacon for many recent ''Battlefield'' games, such as ''Battlefield 3'', because of it's unique and easy to use Clan communication system. |

Battlefield 2: Modern Combat (also known as BF2:MC) is the fourth installment in the Battlefield Series and was developed by DICE and published by EA. It is a console spin-off of the critically acclaimed Battlefield 2 for the PC.
Electronic Arts ended their support for the game in September 2009, shutting down its servers.

Singleplayer
Overview
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat pits the People's Republic of China and NATO in a fictional conflict. In Modern Combat, there are five classes to choose from: Engineer, Special Ops, Assault, Sniper, and Support. In addition, there are numerous vehicles to use on land, in the air (Helicopters only), and on the water (River Patrol Boats)
The game also allows players to switch bodies with other comrades in order to get to or complete an objective relatively quickly.
Plot
The conflict starts with the PLA moving into Almaty, Kazakhstan, while NATO forces attempt to remove them from the area. NATO, PLA, and MEC diplomats negotiate in an abandoned school guarded by both NATO and PLA snipers. However, the NATO diplomat is assassinated by an unmarked Mi-24 Hind that both NATO and China believe to be the other side's, spreading the conflict from the Almaty Region to the Mangystau region. What follows is a series of battles between NATO and the PLA as well as the use of air propaganda to make the other side look "evil".
The Scout Helicopter "Little Bird"
It is then revealed near the end of the campaign that Commander 31, a leader of an organization called The Burning Flag, bent on world domination, was the one to instigate the war and also was the one who sent the Mi-24 Hind to assassinate the NATO peace diplomat. Commander 31 reveals to the world his plans to send three missiles at either the US and Europe, or at China and the Middle East.
The player parachutes into the remote Burning Flag hideout, deactivates two of the missiles and laser target designates the control tower Commander 31 had locked himself into. The player is then hailed as a hero who made NATO's or the PLA's (depending on which side the player chose to take) victory possible.
