Players choose to fight for one of four superpowers (the U.S., China, the E.U., or the Middle East Coalition). Players can increase their rank and status in both online and single-player modes.

Battlefield 2; Modern Combat is rated T for “teen” by the MSRB, and carries a suggested price of $59.99.
