''Battlefield 2'' includes a single-player mode with three difficulty levels; Recruit, Veteran and Expert and a Multiplayer mode via the Internet or LAN. Both player modes use the same maps and use Battlefield's conquest game mode. Single-player mode allows 16 computer controlled players, while the online mode allows up to 64 players. Players can chose to play as a member of the [[People's Liberation Army]], [[United States Marine Corps]] or the [[Middle Eastern Coalition]]. Additional Factions are available through booster packs and expansions, such as the [[European Union]] and the [[Russia]]n Federation.

==Singleplayer==

'' Battlefield 2'' features a singleplayer mode that allow players to play on multiplayer maps and game modes by themselves with Bots on either the Recruit, Veteran, or Expert difficulties. Unlike the multiplayer, which supports up to 64 players, this mode only supports a maximum of 16 players, limiting the mode to only 16 player sized maps as a result. This, however, can be overwritten by the use of mods.

A demo is available for download from major game sites and features the map [[Gulf of Oman]] for both single-player and multi-player. If you own the retail version, it is possible to play with unlocked weapons in the demo. Having the retail version will also result in your current rank being shown in the demo. The 16-person version of the map has a time limit of 10 minutes; the 32-person version has a time limit of 12 minutes. The 64-person version is unavailable in the demo, though up to 64 players can still play on the 32-person map. EA Games shut down all of its demo servers on November 28, 2005. However, demo client and demo server software are still available for download from the BF2 website should players and server operators wish to host the game themselves. Many players still game on these demo servers, with a community numbering at least 100 at a time, a low peak.
