THere is a multiplayer demo available, I have it. . .yes, you can drive tanks, but it's typical first person shooter stuff where you control it with keyboard, forward backward left right and the mouse controls the turret, left click fires canon right fires MG. Little dudes with wrench icons can repair you, little dudes with other icons can give you ammo, and littl emdic dudes can make you feel better. I don't think I'd call it a simulation. But it's kinda fun anyway. There are aircraft and boats to control too. . .the aircraft are so awful I don'tbother with them at all.S!TX-EcoDragonBlack 1TX-Squadron XO

Zen, the graphics, imho, in BF2 are superb.  The sound of the M1A1 is awesome.  They have recoil, everything, but like Eco said, it isn't an elaborate control type game.  It is a team oriented game, online play is awesome, but everything kinda dumbed down.  I love it, and im going to go out and buy the Euro Bonus pack on payday.  Believe Gunslinger plays as well.Give er a try (the demo will blow for online, as no one plays the demo anymore).  Would love to hook up with you guys sometime playing this game.S~

Count me in as well...Have been sick the past few days or so but am feeling a bit better.  Will grab the demo tonight...You know Zen...If you wanna command huge tank brigades...  WWIIOnline is the place to be (the new variant is known as Battlefield Europe).  I think I'm entitled to a demo key to hand off to a friend...  Lemme check.  WWII Tanks....although...I play Allieds and I'm pretty sure you would prefer to play Axis...Regards,TX-Rahman"BLACK 4"

I played the demo for an hour or so last night and wasn't overly impressed...but it was fun overall. Graphics are pretty good and the game play is about the same as black hawk down, maybe a little slower in some ways. Didn't get to drive a tank, but I did headshot a lot of tank commanders (talk about canabalism lol). Had a good time with the dragunov sniper rifle, didn't mess around with medics or other stuff all that much. On the whole I wouldn't buy this game on my own, but if you guys play I think I could make the purchase and dabble here and there with it online. We used to kick some serious tail in the black hawk down demo, so this would probably be fun. Rah, yes actually I've been meaning to try out ww2 online again, I think you were the one telling me they have added the Tiger I to the game (and yes, that means I'm going german).  I find lately the idea of online tanking is getting more appealing despite how silly most of these games are, but I believe I can put realism aside and enjoy them for what they are. In anycase most of these games are really all about playing alongside other TXers, so I think I'll see whats cooking with WW2 online too. Anyone up for some tank platoon semi sorta tactics?Zen

[TX-Rahman]

Zen,          Yes they've added the Tiger recently...  However, it's a later in the war kinda thing just like the Stuarts and Shermans are for the Allied side.  It's a tank that you get after the campaign progresses.  Each side starts off with older tanks/atguns/aircraft/etc at the beginning of the campaign and progresses as the campaign does.  You can hamper a side's progress by bombing their factories.          Damn'd awesome in the fact though that when you kill a tank or whatever online...it's actually someone and not AI.  Same goes for attacks from fighter or bomber aircraft...  While the flight models are no where near Oleg's....it's awesome to be able to bomb live tanks and strafe live people on the ground.  I once was involved in a 75+ bomber formation going to bomb the German factories...awesome!Regards,TX-Rahman"BLACK 4"

Call of Duty 2 has plenty of tanks. After the tophat I flank the jerries where the armour is weakest. Zen is qualified to take us across Nord Afrika. WWII online is very involved. Not as intense for all out combat as COD2.

Wow,Sorry I missed this thread.  I've been out on a very brutal travel schedule this week (like 8 flights in 3 days). Anyway, I just got a chance to check in and saw this.There are two upgrades for BF2:"Special Forces" which adds more maps, weapons, night fighting (LLTV googles) and specops gear like grappling lines, tear gas, flashbangs and zip lines.and"Euro Forces" which I just downloaded a played tonight for a while.  This is THE BF2 Tanker upgrade.  It's only 10 dollars, and you can have this upgrade without the Special Forces upgrade.Besides more tanks weapons and helos, the maps are LARGE and limited to 32 players.This makes the tank stuff much, much better than I've ever seen it in this game.  For the first time I'm seeing squads of tanks and long range shooting.I'll admit, it's not a sim.  But it is great for team playing and a lot of fun. This is good team oriented, mindless fun that I don't have to get too serious about.Thats what I need in my life right now,  more fun and less grief.I use two handles in BF2 "MG151/20" and "TXGun".I'd love to play with any of you folks some night.S~GunnyBlack 2 TX Flight Leader

.....I might pick up BF2 since I am getting pretty tired of waiting for the upgrade/patch and the Radient to be released for COD2. I'll look for you guys after I get it loaded. I might also recommend that Ya'll grab a copy of XFIRE as it is the easiest way to see where your friends are playing and what they are playing.
