16-player version[]
— Game Mode Description
Combat is mainly within the flat area in the central part of the map around four control points. The two starting bases face each other north-south in the center, with a small distance between them. Both sides start with a tank at their disposal, along with several anti-tank emplacements. The two neutral control points are located to the east and west respectively and are relatively far from both starting bases. When captured, one point offers an attack helicopter at one point, and the other offers an anti-air vehicle. Combined with the existing anti-air emplacements at the main bases, a small element of air combat further intensifies the battle.
The default number of tickets is 100 per side.
Power Plant[]
The Power Plant is the PLA's starting control point located at the south of the map, located behind a large chimney and in front of a large building. There are HJ-8 launchers located on the chimney platform, as well as on the platform of the structure to its west. On the roof of the building is an IGLA emplacement, accessible by a ladder behind the building. The control point also provides a Type 98 on the path west of the chimney, as well as a NJ2046 beside the Power Plant.
The UAV Trailer is located to the west of the Power Plant building. Two artillery emplacements are located behind this, and to the west of the artillery is the Radar Station.
If this point is captured by the USMC, the HJ-8 will be replaced by TOW launchers, the IGLA by a Stinger, and the NJ2046 by a HMMWV, but the tank will not respawn.
Construction Site[]
The Construction Site is the USMC's starting point near the center of the combat area. The control point is located in front of a building under construction. There are TOW launchers on the second ground of the construction building in the north, as well as on the top of the construction building in the west. Also on the top of this building is a Stinger emplacement. In addition, there is a DPV to the east of the northern construction building, and an M1A2 on the road between the two construction buildings.
The Radar Station is located on top of the northern construction building. The UAV trailer is beside the M1A2, and two artillery emplacements are behind the UAV trailer.
If this point is captured by the PLA, the TOW will be replaced by HJ-8, the Stinger by an IGLA, and the DPV by a FAV, but the tank will not respawn.
Reactor Towers[]
The Reactor Towers, or Reactors in singleplayer, is a neutral control point to the far east. The control point is located in a sandbag structure behind several barracks.
When captured by the USMC, a TOW launcher will spawn in a sandbag structure, facing the main battlefield, and a HMMWV will also spawn near it. On the helipad an AH-1Z will appear, and to the east on lower ground, a Stinger emplacement will spawn.
When captured by the PLA, there will be a HJ-8, a NJ2046, a Z-10 and an IGLA emplacement.
Main Entrance[]
The Main Entrance is a neutral control point to the southwest of the map. Due to its proximity to the Power Plant, it tends to be captured early in the game by the PLA. The control point is located in front of a construction building and behind a watchhouse.
When captured by the USMC, a DPV will spawn in front of the construction building, and a Linebacker will spawn behind it. Additionally, there will be two stationary M249 LMG guarding the road towards this control point, one on each side of the road. There will also be a TOW behind the M249 LMG on the right (southern) side.
When captured by the PLA, a FAV, a PGZ-95, two Type 95 LMG and a HJ-8 will spawn at this point.

Battlefield Play4Free[]
Dalian is a modified version of the Battlefield 2 map that was added in a recent update for Battlefield Play4Free. While retaining many traits of the original version, the maps features a few notable differences such as the snowstorm and the absence of the artillery island. The map features light vehicles, Main Battle Tanks, attack and transport helicopters and jets. The rush mode has three stages, with the USMC attacking. The USMC has access to 4 Black Hawks, 2 F-35, one Littlebird and one Apache.
The Russians have a BTR-90, a Z-11w and a number of GAZs. In the next two stages, both sides have access to ground vehicles, tanks and APCs, while the RU also have access to jets, a Mi-28 and a Z-11w. If the RU team acquire an enemy jet in the first stage (the enemy bails over land, etc.) they cannot resupply in the first stage, but in the next stages they can resupply at their own airbase or the carrier if they survive that long. It can be played in both conquest and rush.

Trivia[]
- The only power plant in Dalian is the Hongyanhe Nuclear Power Plant(红沿河核电站), which only began construction in 2007, two years after the release of Battlefield 2.
- In Battlefield Play4Free, Dalian is the second map to feature jets.
