==The Basics==
Battlefield 2 (BEEF) got a warm but not stunning reception at 5punk to begin with, however over the last year or so, we've been getting more and more players playing regularly and have actually managed somehow to get pretty good at the game, even showing some signs of organization and skill, both of which are usually unheard of on 5punk.

This popularity made it possible for us to split the cost of a [http://www.game-monitor.com/GameServer/81.19.208.85:16567/5punk.co.uk_-_Get_some_on_you.html Ranked Server] for 5punk so we could have a server run to the usual 5punk standards.

BF2 is basically a First Person Shooter (FPS) game. It can be played in single-player mode with computer controlled enemies (or bots) providing the enemy force, however, this is only really useful as an off-line training mode. The real action in BF2 is in LAN or Internet based play.

Firstly, new players will be required to create a user account. This will serve as a login for the game (EA have also announced this same login can be transferred to the upcoming Battlefield 2142, the next title in the series), a login for EA Downloader and as a login for [http://www.fileplanet.com/ FilePlanet].

This account will maintain a record of all your stats, weapon unlocks and ranking data and provides stat geeks with something to read when not playing Beef. Players can retrieve their stats through a number of third-party websites, the most popular being [http://bf2s.com/ BF2S.com] as well the BFHQ section within Beef itself.

Servers are provided by Electronic Arts (the games' publisher), however, the vast majority of game servers will be funded privately by clans or benevolent gaming gods (like 5punk). These servers can be further be subdivided into 'ranked' and 'non-ranked'. Ranked and non-ranked servers are identical game-play wise but only ranked servers will record your scores and stats allowing you to raise your BF2 rank and give access to weapon unlocks as you progress.

The premise of the game is simple; two opposing forces compete in limited-time games in an attempt to reduce the opposing team to 0 tickets (tickets are 'points' which allow a team member to re-spawn after death) by moving through the map capturing enemy controlled bases (or flags). The games take place on a variety of [http://www.totalbf2.com/page.php?s=3274858c4daad40a1d3f9196eacffaae&do=bfmaps maps] which may vary in the maximum number of players permitted, dependent upon the server settings.

==The Juicy Bits==
BEEF is in many ways the polar opposite of [[Call of Duty]] as Beef is a game that requires communication, tactics and teamwork, all of which usually go against the 5punk way of doing things.

Many 5punkers have come to love the game, not least in part due to the teamwork and attitude of 5punkers.

==The Crusty Bits==
The Beef 1.3 server is prone to crashing, often making people lose over 9000 points.

Beef also has an unrivaled ability to really, really piss people off which we call [[Beef Rage]] it is thought Beef Rage comes from a chemical reaction caused when two spawn-raping fuckmonkeys meet one [[rocket whoring]] [[Faggot]]

==Conclusion==
ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
